Zone Change Urged
To Ease Montgomery
Housing Shortage

Moving to alleviate the acute
housing shortage in suburban
Montgomery County, the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission announced last
night it would recommend rezoning
for apartment house construction
of two tracts in the suburban area.
One site is the W. C. and A. N
Miller tract at Dalecarlia, and the
other is portion of the C. A.
Snow Co. property north of the
East-West highway and adjacent
the Falkland Apartments in Silver
Spring. Both recommendations to
the District Council were made at
the request of the three Montgom-
cry County members of the COM
mission. Richard F. Green. Clar-
ence C. Kaiser and 1t. Col. E.
Brooks Lee.
Council Defers Action.
A public hearing already has been
held on the Miller project, which
asked for apartment coming for
part of the land and commercial
coming for the remainder. The Dis
trict Council deferred action at the
comomission's request pending
study of future land requirements.
In the measure recommending
the rezoning, the commission asked
approval of the petition for apart
ment zoning, stating the construc-
tion of an apartment or multi
family dwellings will tend to meet
the housing requirments of the
employees of the War Departments
map service at this location and
also provide additional units for
returned veterans.
1t also recommended that the re-
naming portions of Petition Abs
and Petition A-124 be held for fur
ther study of the land use require
ments of this general area.
Highways Proposed.
The commission voted to initiate
petition for apartment coming for
part of the Snow property after pro-
widing for highway dedications,
which will include a l00-foot width
for the proposed route. of the. Coz
iumbia boulevard. The resolution
also asks "a more definite establish
ment of either two tiers of detached
residential A lots east of Rosemary
Hills to be served by one street of a
minimum of so feet, or by the loca-
ton of proposed elementary school
site in lieu of part of the two tiers. :"
The measure further states that
the commission is initiating the petit
tion in the hope it will expedite the
construction of the multi-family
structure which the C. A. Snow Co.
states will be developed as quickly
as practicable to provide rental
housing for veterans" In letter to
the commission the company de-
clared I'm the selection of tenants
for the new development, we will
give preference to qualified veterans
of Montgomery County"

{. & 0. Canal Is Filled
By Conduit Overflow;
Fish 10 Be Stocked

The Office of National Capital
Parks announced yesterday the
G. Il o. Canal would be full of
water today from Anglers Inn, near
Potomac, Md, to Washington.
Irving C. Root, Parks superin-
tendent, said water borrowed
from one of the Washington con-
duits has been flowing into the
canal since mid-week.
At the same time, it was an
nourced that the Fish and Wildlife
Service of the Interior Department
would stock the canal this spring
with large-mouth black bass and
blue-gilled sunflsh for the sport of
canal users.
Water to fill the canal can be OBJ
tanned at this time, officials said.
because Army engineers are clean
ing one of the conduits. A spillway
to divert water from the conduit is
located near Anglers Inn.
Formerly water was allowed to
flow back into the Potomac River
from the conduit but this year is
being sent into the canal instead
Since a certain amount of water
remaining in the stretch of canal
from Great Falls upstream to Lock
rs near Seneca, Md, the Wide
water section just below Great Falls
now remains the only portion of
the historic waterway not filled.
A flash flood in 1942 damaged
the Whitewater section. which
awaits major repairs before being
filled again.
Water for the entire stretch of
canal from Seneca to Lock 5

vided by a diversion dam at Sen

Falls Church Planners
Reverse Decision on
Rezoning Arnold Tract

The Falls Church Planning Com
mission will ask the Town Council
to rezone from residential to gen.
eral business an undeveloped tract
of land owned by Mrs. Joseph L.
Arnold. wife of the general man.
ager of the Arnold Operated Bus
Lines, despite an earlier decision
that no action would be taken until
a plan of development for the prop
erty was presented.
The property, located on the
north side of West Broad street, lies
partly in the city and partly in
Fairfax County. The city section
has a 250-foot frontage and is 200
feet deep.
Original Request Denied.
In her original rezoning request,
Mrs. Arnold asked that the prop
erty be rezoned as light industrial.
This request was denied by the
commissiW.
At hearing last week. Lynton
Gibson, attorney for Mrs. Arnold,
questioned the power of the COM
mission to prevent rezoning of prop
erty where no adjoining property
owner objected. Asserting that he
would take the matter to court if
the request is denied, Mr.. Gibson
accused the commission of going
against the will of the majority of
the town"
While MIR. Gibson said he was not
prepared to say what would be done
with the property, a previous letter
to the commission from Mrs. Ar
mold stated that it would be used
for a bus terminal and shopping
center
Subdivision Considered,
The commission also briefly con-
sidered an application for a subdi-
vision of 51a acres in two separate
tracts consisting of TOO feet of 'front.'
age on Roosevelt street and 38l feet
on East Broad street.
John Graham, jr., member of
the commission, pointed out that
there were several lots in the sub
division of less than the required
1880 square feet and that he felt
there were too many lots in the
subdivision for the area involved.
The question of the size of signs
on the Porter Photographic studio
on West Broad street was consid-
cred, but no action was taken.
Chairman Edward c. Knouse re-
ported that several residents had
protested that the signs Used by
Mr.. Porter are too large and too
prominently displayed.
