Boyd Is Appointed
Food Inspector
Sandy Spring Man Named
To Newly Created Post By
County Commissioners
Tuesday

Andrew J. Boyd of Sandy
Spring was appointed county food
inspector under the county health
department by the board of coun-
ty commissioners Tuesday. The
position carries salary of 81, 800
per year plus $500 annual trav-
cling allowance.
The appointment of Mr.. Boyd
was made upon recommendation
Of DIR. v. L. Ellicott, county
health officer, who said he had
investigated numerous applicants
during the past several months
but had not been able to find one
with the necessary qualifications
until Mr.. Boyd was interviewed.
Mr.. Boyd win enter on his new
duties next Monday and will spend
most of his time inspecting res
taurants, soda fountains and eat
ing places, pursuant to existing
statutes.
The need for food inspector
has been stressed on numerous
occasions by the county public
health lay committees and SIM
liar organizations, who are desir-
GUS of more rigid enforcement of
sanitary regulations.
Lack of sufficient personnel has
confined the health department in
recent months to routine sanitary
inspections. The situation was
deplored recently by both county
officials and civic organizations
and the selections of Mr.. Boyd is
expected to offer happy solution.
The new office was created by
the board of county commissioners
some months ago and has re-
manned vacant only because the
county board and the health de-
partment was unable to find a
suitable Inspector.
The board appointed Mr.. Boyd
Tuesday less than half an hour
after he was recommended by
DIR. Ellicott.

New Bus Franchise
Is Recommended
Movement Under Way To
Have Through Service Be-
tween Gaithersburg And
Washington

Residents and civic leaders of
Rockville, Gaithersburg, Washing
ton Grove and nearby communities
to preserve through bus service to
Washington City may be aided in
their efforts by a campaign that
has recently been launched in Beth
esda.
The new proposal calls for an
application for a through bus
franchise to be made by another
line that now operates through
these towns to Washington in a
national system.
There are several such lines, in
GLIDING the Blue Ridge Line, which
IS said to be under consideration
by civic leaders in the suburban
county, although it has not yet
been made public whether or not
the line will accept.
1t is the plan Of hackers of the
movement to have applications for
a license to operate through buses
for the benefit Of upper county
residents as soon as the Capital
Transit Company abandons its
through service November 1.
1t has been suggested that the
difficulty of persuading the Inter-
State Commerce Commission to
license a competing line may be
overcome in two ways: first, the
Capital Transit Company is aban-
doning its service, and second,
there already are two lines now in
operation, the Capital Transit line
and the Montgomery Bus Lines,
although both are controlled from
the same source.
1t is being contended that since
two lines already are in operation,
it would be entirely proper for an
other line to be licensed by the
/. C. C.
When the through bus is elm
mated November 1, it will not only
mean increased bus fares for resi-
dents in Rockville and beyond, but
also that bus patrons will be re-
quired to leave the bus at the Dis
trict Line on Wisconsin avenue and
board street car to Washington
from that point.

MONTGOMERY
wi SIDELICHTS

Redland, so named for its red
clay soil, on the road leading from
Norbeck to the Laytonsville :
Gaithersburg Pike, is the home of
County Commissioner Farmer and
his gracious wife-a small village
Of church, store and few houses.
At the store Miss Charlton, a
former teacher, mothers the vii
lage children and dogs and
speaking of dogs, Brake Fraley in
Redland has one of the handsomest
Chesapeake Bay Reviewers we
have ever seen, not excepting the
one that is the pride and despair
of our own household.
We wonder if Mr.. Fraley has
walked as many miles carrying
home overshoes, rugs, children's
toys and laundry, retrieved" from
the neighbors, as we have, and if
his neighbors have been as fore
bearing as ours?
St. Luke's Church, built in 1901
through, the efforts of the Fraley
families, the Brakes and the late
Mrs. Samuel Haines, was the only
Lutheran Church in the county
until very recently. 1t now has a
membership of about one hundred
and has a thriving Church School.
Between Redland and Smiths
Corner is church built by the
Dunkards or Brethren as they pre-
fer to call themselves, supported
mostly by the folk who have come
here from other states Kentucky,
Tennessee and the Virginias.
Smiths Corner is now quite a
tidy little village, getting its name
from the Smiths who built the
busy little store, the first houses
and Who still live there at The
Junction of the two highways.

Hunters Must Have
License, Says Waters

Hunters must have a license in
their possession, properly display
ed on the back during the training
season for dogs, says Carroll
Waters, deputy State Game War
den for Montgomery County.
There is popular misconception
that dogs can be preseason trained
without license, which Mr.. Waters
opines is contrary to the game
laws.
Mr.. Waters also states that the
local squirrel season terminates
October Is, and does not reopen
until September Is, 1910.

State Roads Balks
At Whites Ferry
Road Extension
Commissioners Told Project
Can Not Be Built For
$4,000 Provided In Bond
Issue

For the second time in a month
the State Roads Commission has
informed the board of county COM
missioners that a county road
project cannot be built by the
State with the amount of county
funds available.
This time it is the Poolesville :
Whites Ferry road that has been
turned down. In a letter to the
commissioners this week, the
State Roads Commission said this
project would cost about $4,000
whereas the bond issue passed by
the legislature for this work is
only $4,000.
Previously the State commission
declined to build the new high
way between Kensington and
North Chevy Chase on the ground
that the $4,000 fund for that
project also was inadequate to
complete the work.
In another communication, the
State Roads Commission reported
that the county has about $34 900
standing to its credit with the
State commission as of the close of
the States fiscal year September
80. The figures given were
$5,853.91 in the maintenance fund
and $28,101.63 in the construction
fund.
The county board was disturbed
by the fact that no move qsIaE
made on the part of the State ia
return this money to the county
end the proper procedure whereby
it may be secured is now being
studied by the county attorney.
Although no formal opinion was
given at the board meeting Tues.
day, it was estimated that the
law providing for the transfer of
control of county lateral roads
from the State Roads Commission
to the county commissioners failed
to direct that all county funds
likewise be transferred.
1t is believed that this omission
was due to the fact that it was
not felt to be necessary. How
ever, it was stated in other quar-
tiers that it may take legal action
to secure the money since the law
does not provide for the transfer
The county's balance of nearly
$35, 900 compares favorably with
the record of a number of other
counties who wound up the fiscal
year with overdrafts with the
State commission.

E. Brooke Lee
Addresses United
Democratic Clubs
Montgomery County H0us-
ing Authority President
Explains Plans For Rural
Slum Clearance; First In
u. S. A.

Approximately 100 members Of
the United Young Mems Demo
cratic Club gathered Monday
night, October 8, at the Log
Cabin, Kensington, to hear Major
e. Brooke Lee, president Of the
Montgomery Housing Authority,
discuss plans for Rural Housing
in the county.
Stating that so far only funds
for city slum clearance have been
allocated by the U. S. Housing
Authority, for other sections, Maj.
Lee gave full assurance to the
group that every effort is being
expended to extend similar serv-
ice to low income groups of the
rural areas of Montgomery county.
The County Authority head fur
Their stated "That preliminary in
vestigation revealed the Under
meath rural resident is probably
the worst off and that the con-
ditions of the part-time worker as
to housing and general advantages
of life are deplorable.
"That also in this initial survey
it was found that there are about
300 houses being lived in unfit for
habitation and that the total fig
ure viii probably go over 5OO."
Most Of the houses, stated Maj.
Lee, are without running water,
toilet facilities and adequate light
and heating.
1--WE would be too calloused If.
tins opportunity to help the poor
were passed. And when such
projects are completed they win
be the first Rural Housing Stun
Clearance in the United States.
Also statistics show such
project would lower the cost Of
Government approximately 20es
because the standard of living
woul be raised. Such cost items
now carried by the county as
health, police, welfare, medical
and mental would be drastically
reduced.
Major Lee made it plain that
Montgomery County would not be
responsible for any of the cost of
the County Housing projects; that
it was clearly and distinctly a
governmentally sponsored and
financed project and that the
Montgomery County Housing Au-
thority served without remunera-
ton.
In all probability about eight
sections Of the county will be Sc
lected as sites for the projects
with one white and one colored
each.
"A The plans will not dislocate any
of the county plans, particularly
in respect to schools and roads
as the Authority expects to locate
the white projects within a con-
solidated school area and the COL
ored projects to replace old sites.
The United Young Mems Clubs
unanimously endorsed the Authori-
ties plans.
