A Washington institution went
back to prewar standards yesterday.
The annual shadbake of the Wash
ington Board of Trade was held on
the Chesapeake Bay shore. the first
to take place on beach since 194l.
The war and the ban on pleasure
driving kept the intervening ones
within the city.
1t was the 49th time Washington
businessmen and their guests from
the District and Federal Govern
ments had celebrated the running
of the shad in the Potomac by con-
gregating to broil and eat the fish
QUITO doors. And it was the big
gest turnout in the half century
history of the event.
Sixteen hundred Washington men
took over and crowded the Beverly
Beach amusement park near Anna
polls. There were a few members
of Congress, a great many municipal
employees, including top figures in
the police and fire departments, and
many veteran emloyes of the Fed
eral departments who have lived in
Washington long enough to know
the gustatory delight a Board of
Trade shadbake provides.
The unexpected size of the turn
out almost defeated the teamwork
of the crew handling the food. The
largest prewar affair had attracted
200. Lines longer than those in
the largest Government cafeteria
formed as men waited patiently for
their plate of fish. Fortunately these
was an abundance.
Charcoal briquettes were glowing
in a shallow ditch 100 feet long.
Oak boards with filets of shad nailed
to them were propped up on the

Montgomery 10 Have
$1oo,00o,0oo Boom
In Building, Lee Says

Montgomery County is faced with
the problem Of preparing for a
$100, ,000. 900 building boom, largest
in its history, 1t. Col. E. Brooke Lee
of the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission told
the Advisory Postwar and General
Planning Committee last night at
a meeting in the Bethesda Elemen-
tary School.
Presenting three resolutions from
the commission, designed to aid in
meeting an increase in population,
Col. Lee said requests and plats for
500 ,000. 900 worth of private building
In the county now are before the
agency.
This amount, he explained, is
about half as much as the present
assessed valuation of the county.
Two of the resolutions, one of
which calls for an ordinance re-
quiring larger lots for sites not hav-
ing public water or sewer, and the
other requiring developers of new
commercial or industrial properties
outside the improved business Sec
tions OF the county to provide ade-
quate off-street parking space as
part Of the site layout, were adopted
unanimously.
Third Measure Delayed.
A third measure urging creation
Of two types of commercial zoning
IN the business districts of the
metropolitan area of the county
was held up for further study.
Under this proposal, business ac-
tivities such as gasoline stations,
secondhand automobile lots, dry
cleaning establishments and drive
in lots for the on-site sale of beer
would be limited to second CONNER
cial zones. It was suggested that
retail merchandising stores, Office
buildings, financial institutions and
other similar activities be permitted
in the first commercial zone.
Considerable discussion was held
as to whether gasoline stations not
doing repair work might be includ-
ed in the first commercial zone. It
was on this question that further
study was recommended.
The off-street parking proposal re-
quireS 200 square feet of parking
space for each 300 square feet of
storage space. For theaters, one
automobile parking space must be
provided for each six seats.
Col. Lee pointed out that the or
dlnance could be amended.
The resolution limiting the present
minimum lot area of 5000 square
feet to sections served by public
water or sewer systems was intro
duced as safety measure. 1t asserts
that medical authorities agree that
the location of both a shallow we'll
as a supply for drinking water and
a sewage disposal field on 5000
square-foot building lot is a serious
health menace.
The proposed ordinance, however.
would exempt home sites where the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission woud promise to extend
either water or sewer service within
one year.
Col. Lee said the proposed ordin-
ance would not affect persons who
already have purchased sites.
