Hyattsyi||e Meeting
Called for Discussion
Of Parking Meters

The Hyattsville Mayor and city
council will meet with businessmen
october 81 to discuss proposal to
install parking meters.
The conference was arranged last
night at a meeting of the Mayor and
council after city officials said some
steps are necessary to relieve the
parking problem.
The proposal is another attempt
to install parking meters particu-
larly on Rhode Island avenue and
the Baltimore boulevard in the main
shopping district. A similar recon-
mendation last year brought numer-
GUS objections from merchants and
businessmen, according to w. Car
roll Beatty, acting city clerk.
The council wishes to determine
whether the sentiment of the mer-
chants has changed, Mr.. Beatty
said.
Mansion Ordered Vacated.
In other business, the council
directed that the old Hyatt mansion,
a three-story structure in the 5000
block of Rhode Island avenue be
vacated by January l. BY that time
about IS occupants of the house,
which is subdivided for apartment
use, will have to find other quarters.
Hyattsville Fire Marshal Wayne
Read reported that the house con-
stituted "a very grave danger as a
fire hazard"
Occupants of the house denied it
is unsuitable for a dwelling.
The city officials agreed to join
the Prince Georges County Memorial
Library System. The Council stip-
ulated, however, that there be no for
FIXTURES of the city's rights to build
new library structure under pro-
visions of the w. Piknney Magru-
der fund.
Zoning Change Recommended.
The Council recommended ap-
proval of a proposed rezoning from
residential A to commercial D of
one lot on the south side of Kennedy
street near the Baltimore boulevard.
It objected to the granting of a per-
init to construct a 31-apartment
building at the northeast corner of
Queensbury road and Forty second
avenue.
Councilman Hiram L. Lawrence
said residents of the adjoining areas
protested against lack of OF street
parking and too many apartments in
that section of Hyattsyille.

Greenbe|t's Auditors
10 Be Told 10 Observe
Salary Checks Closely

Auditors working on Greenbelt
town records today were to be in
structed to give particular atten-
ton" to entries involving all checks
issued as we'll as salaries paid town
employees during the past year.
The Town Councils move for a
complete and specific" audit was
adopted as the result of letter pre-
sented last night on behalf of the
Greenbelt Improvement Association
by Guy r. Moore, president.
The letter singled out entries re-
garding the pay Of Town Manager
James T. Gobbel, target of fund
mismanagennent charges during the
recent town election campaign.
Mr.. Moore also asked that Mr..
Gobbel, in his capacity as manager,
limit his contact" with the audi
tors Ito the answering of questions. "
Instructions Criticized.
1T is rather unusual that the
town manager apparently has given
instructions to the auditing firm as
to the type and extent of the audit
being made Mr. Moore declared.
Adding it was his understanding
that the present audit is to be of a
general nature, the association pres
ident said his group wants de-
tailed breakdown of the individual
disbursements and receipts.
I'VE want sufficiently thorough
investigation so that there won't be
shadow of doubt regarding recent
charges" Mr.. Moore asserted.
The council accepted a petition
bearing more than 600 signatures of
residents asking reinstatement OF
two town policemen recently sus-
pended. The petition called for the
action to provide proper" police
and fire protection for the COM
munity pending results OF any in
vestigation of town administration.
Friday Is Deadline.
Deadline for the filing Of charges
against officials has been set for
next Friday.
Councilmen approved a motion to
consult the Greenbelt Mutual Hous-
ing Association for information and
recommendations In the event that
town housing is sold by the Govern
ment.
Among other actions, the council
voted to provide two part-time rec
reation department workers to serve
through December; asked Mr.. Cob
bel to report on activities of the
Special zoning Committee; agreed
to post meeting agendas in the post
office on meeting days, and to print
copies Of the town charter for sale
to the community.
Council department heads ap-
pointed last night by Mayor Thomas
]. Canning included Mrs. Eliza
beth Harrington, recreation and edu-
cation; Frank j. Lastner, health and
sanitation; David Granahan, public
improvement and zoning; Allen D.
Morrison, general government and
finance; Mr.. Canning, public safety.

Alexandria Cuts
Appropriations
By$235,ooo
SpecioI Charges
Written OF to
Correct Books

The Alexandria City Council de.
cided last night to rescind about
$235, 900 in special appropriations in
an effort to straighten out the city's
financial position, 1t was disclosed
today.
At an executive session called at
the request Of the councils Finance
Committee, the councilmen thorough
ly examined financial records to
determine what appropriations still
were In, unexpended. Some appro-
priations authorized for as long as
eight years were in effect written
off,"
While it was emphasized that there
is no shortage in the city funds, the
many special appropriations charged
against the city created an over
Whelming theoretical debt. An audit
report in August warned the council
men against the dangerous" prac-
tice of making so-called special
appropriations.
Policy Change Urged.
Col Everett A. Hellmuth, chair
man OF the councils Finance Com
mittee, said today it is the aim of
his committee to prevent any re.
currence OF the situation that
prompted last nights action. In
order to do this. he said his com.
mittee would attempt in the future
to halt special appropriations all
together. If they are absolutely
necessary, however, funds should
not be set aside for the project
until work is ready to start, he said.
First indication that the council
would rescind many unexpended ap-
preparations came from COL He'll
muth after the council received the
audit in August. He stated at
that time that he favored sticking
to the annual budget. Special APP
preparations are for projects not
contemplated at the time the budget
is prepared.
Some Projects Completed.
In addition to the appropriations
written off for projects not started,
Col. Hellmuth said in some instances
the council found appropriations
were charged against the books for
projects already completed. These
appropriations, too, we're written
off"
Projects for which authorization
was rescinded included repaving Of
Commonwealth avenue, covering Of
part of Hooff's Run, traffic survey
and aerial map survey.
The council ordered an investi-
CATION to determine If an appropri-
alton had been made for a new dog
pound. Most of the councilmen said
they believed such an appropriation
had been made even though 1t did
not show up on the books.
Col. Hellmuth predicted last
nights action would go a long way
4 toward clearing the books for .
fresh start on the 194s budget.
