Building Permits
Held Up In Area
Beyond Sewer Service

Building inspectors are now re-
fusing TO issue building permits
for houses beyond reach of public
sewers until the County Health
Department approves the plan for
local sewage disposal, according to
Mr.. r. L. Tarbett, Public Health
Engineer, of the Montgomery
County Health Department. This
arrangement has been necessary in
order to prevent the construction
of house on too small a lot or on
a location of the lot which makes
it impossible to install an adequate
drainage field. DR.. Tarbett said,
"Insistence on Health Department
approval is justified under the
county's building code because Of a
clause regarding conditions which
might interfere with the health,
safety and comfort Of the COM
munity or result in a public
nuisance"

Rockville 70 Annex
Twenty-Five Acres
Mayor And Council Seek
To Issue $4,000 Water
Bonds

If bills pending in the General
Assembly are passed Rockville's
area will be increased and the
Mayor and Council will receive
authority to issue bonds not to
exceed $4,000 for extension of
water and sewerage systems, if
and when they are needed.
One of the measures provides
for annexation of the Blandford
and Casey subdivision and other
territory Immediately south Of the
county seat. The other plans the
addition of 10 acres adjoining
the old Rockville fair grounds,
which the Rockville Volunteer
Fire Department acquired some
months ago.
Extension Of the boundary
lines will mean a substantial in
crease in the towns taxable basis.
In the Blandford and Casey sub
division section there are an
apartment house and more than
dozen homes which are already
hooked up with Rockville's water
and sewerage system.
Another bill authorizes the
Mayor and Council to issue bonds
not exceeding $4,000 for exten-
sion Of the water and sewerage
systems and construction of over
head water storage facilities.
Rockville now has two stand
pipes, one at each end of town,
supplied by wells. The tank in
the east end of town, which has
a capacity of $4,000 gallons, has
been in use more than 45 years
and will have to be replaced
within a few years, it is said
