Eastern District

County Commissioner Alfred D.
Noyes today recommended alloca-
ton in the eastern suburban dis
trict Of Montgomery County Of
$3.50, 900 of the proposed storm water
drainage bond issue of the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion.
MIR. Moves, commissioner for the
area, explained the sum represented
the expenditure the commissioners
had agreed to recommend for the
district. A similar amount is to be
set aside for the western suburban
section and the remainder of the
100000 bond issue has been allo-
Gated to the portion of Prince
Georges County within the sanitary
district
To provide equitably for food re-
lief in old-established communities
and adequate storm water drainage
facilities in new subdivisions, Com
missioner Moves suggested that two
thirds Of the $250,000 be expended
in residential areas frequently dam
aged by storm water One-third of
the amount, he said, should be with
held as a local public contribution
toward the cost of storm water
drainage systems in new develop
ments in the district.
$4,000 Urged for Takotaa Park.
The commissioner said he did not
believe a developer should be re-
quired to pay the cost of storm
water drainage beyond the size Of
the pipe that the area which the
then owner is about to develop re-
quires" if large flow of storm water
comes from higher ground above the
developers location. The additional
cost of the larger pipe should be
born by the public, he declared.
Mr.. Noyes recommended that
$4,000 be allocated for expenditure
in Takoma Park. At least half this
amount, he said, should be used
to provide storm water drainage
at the intersection of Piney Branch
road and Philadelphia avenue, with
the principal initial expenditure to
be made between Chestnut and Park
avenues
The rest of the money for Ia
koma Park, he suggested, should be
used to correct the situation between
Buffalo avenue and along Cedar
avenue on the southern side Of
Philadelphia avenue and in the
section adjacent to the District line
between Carroll avenue and Second
street to Highland street.
An expenditure Of $4,000 to i'm.

Gated is ALLEGATION of an additional

Silver Spring Projects.
Declaring that the oldest and
most aggravated storm water sit
uation in Silver Spring is between
Ihayer and Silver Spring avenues,
behind the Silver Spring Fire De-
partment building, Mr.. Moves rec
commended that $4,000 be allocated
for this project.
Other recommendation for the
Silver Spring area include $780,
for storm water sewer construction
on the Baltimore road to begin at
Fenton street and extend towards
Sligo Greek; $4,000 to complete the
storm water project in the Caro-
line avenue, Franklin avenue, Re-
we're place and Leighton avenue To-
cation, and $4,000 to be used in the
section starting at the entrance to
the Indian Spring Village on Coles
vile road through the North Hills
development on the route of Bruce
drive into Sligo Greek.
The remaining $4,000 is recon-
mended to improve conditions on
both sides of the Forest Glen road
between the Indian Spring develop
ment and the Argyle Club. This
project, Mr.. Moves said, should be-
gin along Greenock road.
