More Policemen
To Be Sought for
Prince Georges
Present Force Of ~ Men
Held inadequate to
Meet Emergencies

Prince Georges County commits
sioners will seek authorization to in
crease the county police force at the
1945 session of the State Legis-
lature.
The board went on record at its
meeting yesterday as favoring an
increase in police personnel after
Police Chief Ralph w. Brown de-
clared that the present force OF %
men is inadequate to meet all emer-
gencies.
william A. Carson, board presi-
dent, said the number Of additional
men to be sought has not been de-
cided pending a meeting with the
county delegation to the Legisla ture.
Patrol Large Area.
Chief Brown pointed out that the
present police force, which is di-
vided almost equally between the
police stations at Hyattsville and
Upper Marlboro, has to patrol an
area Of 486 square miles containing
a population of nearly 10000.
This compares with the Mont
gomery County police force of IS
men, who patrol an area of approx
mately 400 square miles containing
a population of about 10000.
In letter, DR.. A. L. Brueckner,
acting director of the State Live
stock Sanitary Service, notified the
commissioners that the countrywide
dog quarantine has been extended
to December 81. The ban does not
affect dogs vaccinated against rabies.
Benjamin T. Montgomery pre-
sented a petition by colored resi-
dents Of Fairmount Heights pro-
testing what he termed "discrim-
ination" by the Prince Georges Gen.
eral Hospital against colored resi-
dents Of the county.
Facilities Held Unavailable.
Mr.. Montgomery said he had been
told by DR.. A. Kirk Besley, hospital
superintendent. that facilities are
not available for colored patients
and that the latter did not know
when such facilities would be avail
able.
Mr.. Carson declared, however,
that no colored physician has ap-
piled to the hospital to have
colored patient admitted. The board
then approved a motion by Commits
sioner Leonard Bowen to request
the hospital Board Of Directors to
make facilities for colored county
residents available Immediately.
The board also decided to take
over @ street in Bradbury Heights
as county road.
The appointment by District For
ester r. H. Hershberger of Jerome
E. Quinn OF the Ammendale Normal
School as forest warden was ap-
proved.

In general, 1t is proposed to have
the southbound street car track on
Nineteenth street loop around the
South Interior Building on c street
and then proceed north on Eight
zenith street, rather than loop around
on Virginia avenue as at present.
Two triangular blocks between the
South Interior and the Navy De-
partment would be replaced by four
smaller triangular blocks and a di-
agonal roadway would 60 between
Constitution avenue and Eighteenth
and c streets. Thus, Virginia ave-
nue. and the new road would make a
criss-cross arrangement of roads be-
tween the Interior and Navy Build
ings.
Motor Age Parking.
This is the type of motor age
building the engineers have in mind
for parking:
1t would occupy half block, or
preferably the entire block, with
the ground-level floor devoted to
stores and shops ito present an un-
broken facade Of attractive windows
and entrances along the shopping
streets.
Provisions would be made for de-
livery Of merchandise directly to
the basement stockrooms of the
stores. Parking facilities would be
reached through an entrance in the
center Of one side Of the block. The
cashiers booth, waiting room and
similar adjuncts" Of parking opera
tions would be located In the in
terror of the first floor.
The second floor would be occu-
pied by daylight Offices along the
sides of the building, while the in
teriors would be used for parking.
Additional levels devoted entirely to
parking could be provided Ito meet
the demand in particular neigh
borhood," the report suggested. Ele-
vators would be provided If the
building exceeded four floors.
Park Own Cars.
Patrons Of the parking facility
would be permitted to park and
unpark their own cars, as well as to
lock them, thereby saving delay and
eliminating the fear of rough han
ding Of vehicles" the report stated.
Parking rates should encourage
frequent turnover and discourage
all-day parking"
In drawing of the proposed
type Of building, the basement would
have parking space for 16 trucks
and space for service rooms and 26
stockrooms. The first floor would
have rs stores and no parking space,
while the second floor would have
Is Offices and parking space for "a
cars. The third floor would be de-
voted entirely to parking, allowing
l42 spaces, and the roof would pro-
vide 2l3 additional parking spaces.
