Takoma Park Council
Members Clash Over
Unrecorded Session
Police Accused Of
Failure to Enforce
Traffic Speed Lows

Disclosure of a special meeting of
the Town Council of Takoma Park,
Md, created a controversy at
meeting of that body last night,
following receipt of a petition signed
by 80 residents appealing for relief
from traffic conditions m the north
ern section of the municipality.
Town Councilman Howard H.
Harrigan. chairman of the Municipal
Service Committee, called attention
to the numerous accidents which
had occurred at Philadelphia avenue
and Piney Branch road, where the
petitioners had requested that
traffic light be installed.
Accuses Police of Failure.
He charged town officials with
failure to take the responsibility and
censured the police department for
failure to stop speeding in this sec
ton. There was division of COM
mand With two forces-the Mont
gonery County and Takoma Park
police-both housed under one roof,
while there was also lack of proper
policing of the town, he asserted.
In the course of his remarks he
brought to the attention of citizens
present proceedings of a special
meeting held a short time ago, when
a police matter was up for discus
sion. He told how members of a
committee had reversed their action
on a matter and how the town rec
ords failed to show that the special
meeting was ever held or what ac-
ton was taken.
Town Clerk j. Wilson Dodd said
that no motions or resolutions were
presented calling for action and that
there was nothing officially before
the meeting and therefore no record
was made.
Mr.. Harrigan came in for criticism
from Councilman Joseph Martin. a
member of the Municipal Service
Committee, and Mayor Oliver w.
Youngblood disputed some of the
statements made by Mr.. Harrigan.
Called on State Board.
Last week Mayor Youngblood and
Town Clerk Dodd appeared before
the Maryland State Roads Commits
sion urging that light be installed
or some action be taken. Since that
conference, four stop signs have
been erected at the intersection, but
Mr.. Harrigan said that traffic light
or signs would not be satisfactory
unless the speed regulations were
enforced.
A considerable portion of the ses-
sion was devoted to public hearing
on proposal to construct perma-
nent concrete roadway, with curb
and cutters, on Holly avenue from
the present concrete to Philadelphia
avenue. A large delegation of citi-
zens attended, speaking for and
against the project, which would
cost $12 per linear foot, one-third
to be charged against abutting
property owners on each side of the
thoroughfare, while the remainder
would be paid with town funds. No
decision was reached, but 1t was
decided to take the matter up at a
special meeting.
A petition was received from prop
erty owners requesting the construc-
ton of curb and cutters in Elwyn
Court.

Westover Resident Asks
Probe Of Hiqher Rents

An appeal for an investigation OF
pending rent increases at Westover
Apartments, Arlington County, has
been made by resident OF that
project.
Ross ]. Singrey, one of the 152
apartment holders, who lives at 14l4
Patrick Henry drive, has asked
County Manager Frank c. Hanra-
han, chairman of the Housing Com
mittee of the Northern Virginia
Regional Counsel, to call meeting
to study the increases, which will
become effective November l.
M. A. Mace, president of West
over, Inc, announced yesterday the
rent raises will amount to about
Sc for the smaller one-bedroom
apartments to about S11 for the
larger two-bedroom types.
"This will be the first rent raise
we have placed into effect since the
apartment was completed in jan
uary, 194O." Mr.. Mace declared.
During this time several other
apartments in Arlington County
have made one or more raises in
rent"
Mr.. Mace said he anticipated
higher taxes during the coming year
and that increases in materials and
maintenance costs made the move
necessary.
Mr.. Singrey distributed copies of
his letter to Mr.. Hanrahan to all
apartment dwellers in Westover.
He added a notice of the meeting in
his apartment which will be held at
8 pm. Friday and invited "those
interested enough to put up a real
fight in this matter" to attend.

tract to the Wilmoth Paving Co. of

chimes. Each violation under the
ordinance would constitute a new
offense.

nance, and Corporation Counsel w.
Carroll Beatty will draft the meas
ure for submission to recessed

vile make unnecessary and exces-
sive use of their whistles after

The representative said investi-
CATION led the company to believe
that their engineers were merely
obeying company rules and Federal
laws. He promised cooperation if
specific instances of violations OF
these rules and laws could be cited.

School Rolls Swe|Ied
In Falls Church by
Fairfax Students
Increase Is Explained
By EIiminotoin Of
Tuition Poyment

Enrolment at public schools in
Falls Church, Va. had increased
when classes began today because OF
the dropping of tuition requirements
for Fairfax County residents, while
registration at the opening of some
nearby Maryland schools yesterday
showed a decrease, attributed to
anxious parents taking precautions
against infantile paralysis.
While no figures are obtainable
until after the schools close today,
the jefferson High School and the
Madison Elementary School in Falls
Church noted large increase in the
number of Fairfax County students
on their rolls, it was announced.
The situation has arisen because
of an agreement between town and
county officials reached during the
summer recess whereby students OF
each jurisdiction may attend schools
Of the other without the payment of
tuition. The move was expected to
increase the attendance IN Falls
Church schools because of the num-
Der of families living near that town
in Fairfax County.
In Laurel, Md, where the opening
of schools was postponed from last
Monday until September % because
of seven cases of poliomyelitis, the
Town Council last night asked for
a voluntary quarantine of children
of school age until the institutions
open.
A delegation of citizens asked the
Council to declare quarantine and
prohibit public gatherings of chill
dren, but the town officials felt that
they would exceed their authority
by taking such step, and adopted
a resolution which asked for public
cooperation in a voluntary move to
prevent the spread of the disease.
With public health officials Of
Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties in Maryland agreed there
is no need to close schools because
of poliomyelitis, some anxious par
ents were, nevertheless, keeping
their children home for the time
being.
1t was estimated that about so
children in the elementary schools
of Prince Georges County were be-
ing held out of schools for this rea-
son, while several Montgomery
County institutions noted similar
absences on their rolls.
