County Calls Hearing
On Subdivision Roads

The Montgomery County Board
of Commissioners yesterday called
for hearing at II am. next
Tuesday on proposed code of rules
to govern the construction of roads
in new subdivisions.
County Supervisor Willard F. Day
presented code to the commission
ers which he said would make new
roads of standard construction, thus
enabling the county to take over the
maintenance of the roads without

so far, Mr.. Day added was that
builders thought the county should
pay part of the initial construction
costs.
The commissioners said that all
parties interested, including build
ers and representatives of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission would be invited to at
tend the hearing, which will be in
