Highway Resolutions
Given Montgomery
Committee for Study

Resolutions favoring acquisition
by Montgomery County of public
parking space in the Silver Spring
and Bethesda business districts and
approving the location of the pro-
posed Northwest freeway were re-
ferred to the Highway Committee
last night by the County Advisory
Committee on Postwar and County
Planning.
Recommendations to widen the
Rockville pike and to construct a
River road overpass and a Little
Falls Branch parkway also were re-
ferred to the committee, headed by
Washington I. Cleveland and George
E. Keneipp. Resolutions approving
the locations of the Little Falls
parkway and the George Washing
ton Memorial parkway also went to
that committee.
A request by Judge Albert E.
Brault that consideration be given
by the Planning Committee to reg
ulation of taxicabs was referred to
the County Government Committe,
Of which Judge Brault is chairman.
The proposed parking measure
seeks creation Of two special taxing
districts to include all commercial
and industrial property in the two
business districts. A special tax
would be levied against owners of
the property to provide funds for
the purchase of the sites. Parking
would be free.
Roy Cofman, Silver Spring real
estate dealer, termed the proposal
class legislation" He charged
that the measure would penalze
property owners who already have
parking lots for their customers.
Samuel Stonebreaker, Bethesda,
suggested that thought be given the
installation of parking meters in
the two districts.

Warns Of Cut in Gasoline
Ey the Associated Press.


RICHMOND. Va, Jan. IL The
Richmond district Office of the OPA
has advised its local boards of a
drastically curtailed ALLEGATION of
gasoline for civilian use.
While the advice did not include
q direct order to the local rationing
officials to tighten up on rationing
coupons for gas, the suggestion was
made indirectly, with the observa-
tion by District Rationing Executive
Bernard P. Chamberlain that Vir-
ginia motorists are in for a rude
awakening"
Mr.. Chamberlain said the civilian
quota of gas for the first quota of
1945 is 1,144,000 barrels per day for
the country as whole, which is
5000 barrels less than the quota
for the fourth of 1914.
