"The citizens were unanimous in
their pleading that the rates be

your commission. Facts presented

Montgomery Moves
To Take Over Silver
Spring Parking Sites

The Montgomery County commits
tioners have taken the first major
step toward acquisition of public
parking sites in the Silver Spring
business district by approving the
purchase of two lots and author
izing condemnation proceedings
against two others and parts of six
tracts.
At the same time. the commits
sioners at their meeting yesterday
in Rockville took under advisement
request by County Supervisor
Willard F. Day for action on pro-
posed minimum standards for road
construction in new subdivisions.
| The two lots to be purchased for
$4,000 are owned by Mr.. and Mrs
John c. Ward, Silver Spring, and
are part of a tract bounded by
Georgia avenue. Fidler lane, Second
and Fenwick avenues. They con-
tain approximately 16,500 square
feet.
Condemnation Authorized.
Condemnation of adjacent land
was authorized after Daniel T.
Doherty, chairman of a committee
appointed by the board to acquire
parking sites, said the owners of
some of the lots asked an excessive
price and he was unable to obtain
price from others.
The entire tract, according to Mr..
/ Doherty, comprises 1892 square
feet and can accommodate about $50
cars. He said other sites will be
obtained later, preferably by pur-
chase if reasonable" prices are
! offered.
In uring the board to act on pro-
\ posed minimum road standards, Mr.
Day pointed out that a set of re-
quirements to be followed by build
ers in new developments was drafted
/ several months ago but that the
commissioners have taken no action
on them.
Urges Speedy Action.
Declaring that adoption of such
standards would result in a reduc-
ton of road maintenance costs to
the county, Mr.. Day said, The
sooner you take action, the better.
He added that Arlington County
has an ordinance containing mini
mum road construction standards
for subdivision developers.
| County Engineer E. R. Trammell
; c11onnctnl Va
compel developers to build curbs and
cutters on all new streets when they
are constructed.
The discussion grew out of a re-
quest by Philip Milestone for a per-
init to build streets in Glenview sub
division near Silver Spring without
curbs and cutters.
Mr.. Trammell, who said he had
refused to grant the permit, quoted
Mr.. Milestone as saying Sterling R.
Maddox, former county engineer
had told the builder that construc-
ton of curbs and cutters on streets
was not compulsory under the
county's building code.
Find Statement Exact.
The commissioners issued a permit
to Mr.. Milestone.
j. Forest Walker, clerk to the
board, was instructed to obtain bids
by June from county banks for
$175,0O0 worth of certificates of in
debtedness dated June IS and to
run for one year.
The certificates will be issued to
supply funds for schools and the
Police Department. 1t was ex-
planned that funds for the two de-
partments in the 1945 levy proved
insufficient.
County officials said salary in
creases for policemen accounted fol-
about one-fourth of the deficit
George E. Heon was granted a
permit to operate the Chevy Chase
swimming pool, subject to Health
Department approval.
