First Prosecution
Under Montgomery
zoning Laws Begun
Several Violations
Corrected, New County
Administrator Says

The first prosecution for alleged
coming violations in Montgomery
County since F. Byrne Austin as
sumed duties as county zoning ad-
ministrator for the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission has been filed in court,
it was disclosed today.
Mr.. Austin declared several vio-
lations, mostly unintentional, have
been corrected by negotiation since
he assumed Office about month
ago. .
The case taken to court is to be
fought vigorously, the attorney for
the defense said today. 1t was to
have been heard this afternoon be-
fore Trial Magistrate Ralph G..
Shure, but a petition for removal
has been filed by the defense.
Realty Company Accused.
A warrant making the complaint
was sworn to by Town Marshal j. E.
Cooperider against Orrice L. Muir
dock and Michael A. AnSelmo, doing
business as the Kensington Re-
atty Co.
The complaint charges the firm
with violating the zoning law by
maintaining a real estate business
in a structure situated in residen-
tial A zone on Connecticut avenue
at the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad
overpass in Kensington.
To
the property is unfit for use for any
purpose other than business be-
cause of its location near the rail-
road tracks and that if it is classi-
fled residential A it is illegally zoned
because it is unsuitable for homes.
He added that the Office maintains
the outward appearance of private
residence.
Trial Expected Next Week.
Because of the removal from the
Silver Spring court the case prob
ably will be heard next week before
another trial magistrate.
Among the cases now being nego-
tiated by Mr.. Austin is one involv-
ing a used car business in the
Seven Oaks area against which sew
eral citizens groups have COM
planned. Mr.. Austin said the busi-
ness Is in residential A zone and
the attorney for the owners has in
dicated their willingness to comply
with the law.
I'VE are giving all violators ample
notice before instituting court ac-
tion," Mr.. Austin said.
Two Unit Residences.
Among problems the new zoning
administrator is now studying is a
situation in Takoma Park where
many residences contain two living
units in residential A zones, which
constitute violations Of the existing
ordinance.
The Takoma Park Town Council
has recommended that many Of
these homes be blanketed into res
idential B area. Mr. Austin declared
that preliminary study made by
him on one street has shown that
more than two apartment units are
in a majority of the houses in the
area.
Probably several months will be
required before suitable recommen-
dations can be made to the Park and
Planning Commission, he said.

Gasoline Curb
Likely 70 Block
Road Fund Plan
Montgomery Fears
Reduction in Shore
Of Maryland Tax

A plan by Montgomery County,
Md, to borrow S89, 1000, to be repaid
with funds which will be received
by the county next year from the
lateral road State gasoline tax, does
not take into consideration pros
pective oil shortage and efforts by
Petroleum Co-ordinator IckeS to re-
duce gasoline consumption, it was
learned today
The county Board of Commission
ers has adopted a resolution which
authorizes the issuance of tempo
rary certificates of Indebtedness in
anticipation of revenues which are
estimated will accrue to the county
next year The unanimous feeling
of the board is that because of pres
ent world conditions money ex-
pended at this time for road con-
Struction purposes probably will
produce a greater amount Of i'm
provement than next year, when
labor and materials costs are ex-
pected to be higher.
Anticipate Beer Profits Also.
The commissioners have author
lied the issuance of certificates
when and If needed, to be repaid by
$50 900, which the State Roads Com
mission estimates will be returned
to the county october /, 1912, and
other certificates, also for road con-
struction financing, to be repaid by
$60,000 which is estimated will be
received next year from the coun-
tvs profit in the wholesale distribu-
ton of beer.
The State Roads Commission,
however, recently has announced
that Maryland's source of revenues
is expected to be sharply curtailed
if gasoline is rationed or consump-
ton is reduced.
Maj. E. Brooke Lee of Silver
Spring, member of the House of
Delegates, does not believe, however,
that any prospective reduction in
gasoline consumption would bring
the county's gasoline tax revenues
below the $4,000 estimate.
IF We do not get that much next
year" he said, I'VE will have to repay
it out of the general levy. Any such
loan would be a county debt and
would be extended against the gen.
eral county credit"
Could Borrow Less.
Maj. Lee pointed out that the reso-
luton authorizing the issuance of
certificates is merely permissive and
that the total loan authorized may
not be sought for one or more
months, and that only a portion of
the total amount of the authorize
tion may be borrowed.
Maj Lee was one of the county
leaders who conferred about two
weeks ago with the State Roads
Commission, along with the three
Democratic majority mambers of the
Board of Commissioners who offered
the road construction program. He
said that the $50 900 estimate is
conservative because of the large in
crease in the number of automobiles
during the past year.
County Auditor and Controller
Alexander K. Hancock said the
county's share of the lateral road
State gasoline tax probably will
amount to $8O,555,79 on october /
of this year. Actual receipts from
this source through June 30,
amounted to S65 5,63797, he said.
The amount county heads esti-
mated will be received by October /,
1912, is, therefore, nearly $500 more
than will have been received this
year despite prospects of an oil
rationing system along the Atlantic
Seahoard States.
