HyattsviIIe Citizens
0pen Drive for B. 90,
Rail Station Stop

A campaign to obtain Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad stop with proper
station facilities In the Prince
Georges County area for all through
trains has been inaugurated by a
Hyattsville Citizens Committee.
Headed by Councilman Claude N.
Davis, jr., the committee is prepar-
ing a QUESTIONABLE for distribution
in the area to determine the extent
such a facility would be used If it
were established.
Seeking the aid of Riverdale and
College Park groups, Mr.. Davis said
the proposal will be placed before
B. & o. officials as soon as complete
data is compiled.
Committee members said the
service would meet facilities already
granted to Silver Spring citizens
for westbound trains and to Alex
andria for those southbound. A
Prince Georges station would draw
from a smile area, Mr.. Davis said.
The movement already has been
Endorsed, the committee said, by

leader.

Spring"
The nearest station at the present
time for most residents of the sec.
ton Is Union Station, he declared.

citizens IN Prince Georges County

Board Of Trade Backs
Plan for Land Use
In Silver Spring

The Silver Spring Board Of Trade
today Is on record as indorsing the
proposed master plan Of land use
for the central business district of
Silver Spring and demanding strict
rezoning limits.
The board unanimously approved
a resolution urging the county COM
missioners, sitting as a District
council, to follow the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission plan, dated February
81. Further extension of the COM
mercial zoning north on Georgia
avenue or east on Colesville road
should be prohibited until the pro-
posed Fenton street business area
has been commercialized and the
existing commercial zoned property
on Georgia avenue has been fully
utilized, the measure states.
The resolution further asks that
the District council base its action
on zoning applications pertaining to
property in this area outside the
major established business districts
on present needs of the community
1t also requests that the council
establish definite criteria setting
forth the relationship between the
number of houses or persons In
community and the size of the COM
mercial zoning and hold a public
hearing on the establishment Of the
criteria.
Such a plan, 1t was stated, will
lead to establishment Of . more
concentrated business area and
proper location of proposed parking
lots. In addition, it was emphasized,
1t will prevent the devaluation of
existing commercially zoned prop
erty.
The resolution supports similar
action taken by the Allied civic
groups Of Silver Spring.
The Board of Trade also indorsed
a four-point program Of the Silver
Spring Recreational Committee of
which DR.. j. H. Forsyth is chairman.
The plan urges construction near
Montgomery Blair High School of
an athletic stadium, an all-year
swimming pool, field house and an
auditorium.

ton representative, United States
Employment Service, who was the
guest speaker, told the group of the
