the support of Brooke Johns, presi-
dent of the Montgomery County
Board of Commissioners, in the
company's proposal to establish a
5-cent-per-zone fare on its Mary

Mr.. Johns yesterday told E. C..

he hoped the proposed new fare
schedule pans out for you finan-
cially." Mr.. Johns added, Lots of
luck" The board took no official
action. however, after hearing Mr..
Giddings at its weekly meeting in
Rockville.
After the board meeting, County
Supervisor Irving G. McNayr said
the commissioners would not oppose
the proposed fare change nor would
they appeal it If granted by the
Public Service Commission.
The company's application for
permission to set up a straight s.
ceRt-per zone fare, and to eliminate
cut-rate zone tickets and weekly
passes on its Maryland lines, has
been filed with the Maryland Pub
lie Service Commission. A hearing
is scheduled in Baltimore Decem-
ber 8.
Pay Increases Cited.
Mr.. Giddings explained that as a
result of the recent arbitration
award, granting pay increases to its
employees, the company was forced
to seek an adjustment" in its
Maryland rates.
Albert E. Conradis, county public
utility agent, told reporters he had
not taken a definite stand on the
proposal pending further study.
No Action Taken.
Prince Georges County Commits
sioners also took no action when
Mr.. Giddings, accompanied by Dean
j. Locke, chief engineer, appeared
at Upper Marlboro to explain the
proposed fare increases.

under advisement at hearings be-
fore the commissioners in the

classification from residential A to

lanes from residential A and C to
Commercial D. 1t was strongly op-
posed by about 20 residents of the
area, who contended the section is
residential and that approval of the
petition would constitute spot
zoning.

Brown School Work
Delayed Six Weeks
As Conference Fails

Conversion of the old E. v. Brown
School in the $500 block of Con-
avenue into a library and
recreation center was set back at
least six weeks today when con-
ference at the District Building
failed to bridge a gap of $4,000
between the lowest bid and available
funds.
Milo F. Christensen, superin-
tendent of recreation, called on
Municipal Architect Merrill Coe and
1t. Col. L. E. Cox, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner.
Mr.. Coe said the difference was
so large that any revision of specifi-
cations in the plans would be un.
just to other contractors who might
want to bid on the revised plans
The plans will be changed and new
bids requested. This will take al
least six weeks.
Despite the $4,000 difference be-
tween the low bid and the appro'
priation. the Recreation Board de-
cided yesterday to explore the pos
sibilities of going ahead with thu
conversion of the old E. V. Brown
School.
Recrea ton Board Chairman Harr.
Wender said that after frs
bids opened had been $4,000 tt
$4,000 too high, the plans hac
been revised and new bids asked
Of the new bids, he said, the higl
was $4,000 and the low SIC, 6,079-
still about $4,000 in excess of fund
available.
He said the municipal architec
advised drawing up new speciflca'
tions and asking for bids again
But Mr.. Wender pointed out there
is no certainty that advancing con.
struction costs might not make bid:
for a smaller job still too high
Mr.. Wender suggested the meeting
which was approved by the board
to see If the $4,000 shortage coulc
not be obtained from other funds
and the work contracted for i'm.
|mediately.

requested recommendations to thu

omy and make it advisory.
"The continuance of an auton.
omous Recreation Board" Mr.
