New Buildings

St. Johns Church at Olney, or
gained as separate congregation
in st. Bartholomew Parish over
100 years ago, is now undertaking
an expanding building program
The need of a parish hall and Sun
day School classrooms has long
been felt. A 81 acre tract of land
has been acquired north of the
present church and plans drawn
for a two-story building.
Preliminary plans include, be.
sides a parish hall, boy and girl
scout huts, playground with ten
mis- courts and softball ground and
everything to make it real nom
UNCONVENTIONAL community center.
One floor of the parish hall will be
equipped with a modern kitchen.
Real interest has been shown by
large part of the Olney COM
munity and over $4,000 has been
pledged toward the project which
is estimated to cost between $685.
900 and $4,000. About LIZ years
ago a committee of three women
started fund for the building and
tentative plans were discussed.
During the last two or three years
other women raised money which
was added to the fund. Early this
year the vestry appointed Wilbur
N. Baughman, John H. Burton and
R. Roland Stabler to make definite
plans. This committee is being con-
tinued with the addition of num-
Der of others as building COM
mittee. A. R. Clas and George H.

made preliminary drawings and
are at work on detailed specifca-
tions, both giving their service as
a contribution to the project. The
building committee is proceeding
with the gift subscription cam

Taximen Plants
And Noisy Dogs
Plague Board

The Montgomery County Com
missioners on Tuesday made a
second revision in the county taxi
cab ordinance by lowering the
minimum age limit for drivers
from 81 to 10 years.
Last week the Commissioners ac-
ceeded to the demands of protest
ing owners and drivers by making
several major changes. These in
cluded the increase of Zone / fare
from 25c to soc; the cab fee from
$50 to $25; and the drivers fee
from $40 to S.. The change affect
ing Zone 1 did not satisfy Bethesda
cab owners.
This week James H. Pugh, at
torney for the cab companies,
asked that the two-mile wide Be-
thesda Zone be reduced to one
milesin width. Mr.. Pugh suggested
that he be allowed to confer with
Public Utility Agent Albert E.
Conradis that they might work out
a plan agreeable to all. The request
was granted by the Commissioners.
The change in the age minimum
was made at the insistence of Mrs.
Alma Opal, of Takoma Park, who
pointed out that the Maryland
State law for taxi drivers has an
18 year minimum. She told the
Commissioners that a number of
students under 81 who had been
driving in their spare hours would
be denied that privilege under the
ordinance.
Sam Rice, of Ashton, former
Washington baseball star, COM
planned to the Board that a dog
kennel adjacent to his home was a
nuisance. Mr.. Rice drew a laugh
when he asked that the owners be
compelled to "confine their noise to
their own property" Attorney
Welsh said, You can't make dog
stop barking by passing an ordi-
nance"
Brooke Johns, president of the
Board, remarked, "Looks like the
whole county is going to the dogs
that makes two complaints today
of noisy kennels" 1t was brought
out that the county has no author
ity over kennels at present and the
Council to the Board was asked to
prepare an ordinance.
The Commissioners voted $4,000
to be used for the drainage of sur
face water from TIE site of the
spring which gave Silver Spring
it's name. The Park and Planning
Commission now own the site,
which is a county landmark. The
Commission will restore "The
Acorn" which covers the spring.
