Trash Problem
For Rockville
Seems Solved

The granting of a permit to
Blake Merson permitting operation
of "dump" near Rockville as
sanitary fill" on Tuesday is
thought to have settled the pro-
blem of trash and garbage disposal
for the town of Rockville, as well
as for several other county COM
munities patronizing the Mont
gomery County Refuse Company
which Merson heads.
Mr.. Merson agreed to buy a
bulldozer and operate his disposal
plant under the supervision of
Ralph L. Tarbett, Public Health
Engineer, who heads the sanitary
division of the county Health De-
partment. The sanitary fill is de-
signed to abolish the smoke and
fly nuisance.
One of his best customers will
be the town of Rockville which
for years has disposed of its gar
bage and trash through the Mer-
son service. 1t was disclosed that
of the LOO family units in Rock
vile, only $40 disposed of their
garbage and trash through this
service. Mayor La Mar Kelly,
speaking for the Town Council,
said that an ordnance will be
passed whereby garbage and trash
cannot be disposed of by burning
at their homes and these 100
family units must use the Merson
service or a similar sanitary one.
The board awarded a contract
to Brawner 2. Harding, Gathers
burg, for construction of a road
equipment depot at Washington
Grove. Mr.. Harding's bid of $751;
127 was the lowest of four esti-
mates--the highest was $45,300.
During the afternoon, the Com
missioners in session at Silver
Spring approved 9 rezoning petit
tons and denied 2.
Among the applications on
which favorable action was taken
was one by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to rezone part of the
Corby tract on the Rockville pike
near Bethesda from Commercial d
back to residential A, the agree
ment being if ground had not been
broken within a year they lost the
commercial coming. The site was
rezoned to commercial in April
1916 to permit construction of the
500, 100000 Diplomat Hotel.
