For Sanitary System

A $1,500,000 bond issue for water,
sewers, and storm drainage i'm
provement in the suburban sanitary
district was approved yesterday by
the Montgomery County Board of
Commissioners.
Darby Bowman, secretary of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, appeared before the
board to request similar authoriza-
ton to one given last week by the
Prince Georges County Commits
sioners.
Mr.. Bowman explained that the
money will 60 to finance approxi-
mately so projects in the two
counties.
He added that he expects to ask

At the same time, he revealed that
the bonded Indebtedness of the
sanitary commission stands at s29,-

The commissioners also adopted
zoning ordinances proposed by the
Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
The new regulations provide for
the size of signs and shop windows
and the establishment of building
lines in areas where roads and
streets are to be widened. They also
specify that the building line will be
SO feet from the center of the street
where no widening is contemplated.
Hearings on applications for zon-
ing changes will be held four times
a year under the new regulations
instead of the present twice yearly.
Earlier in the day Rhees E. Burket
president of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation, had opposed this
particular change.
School Plan Backed.
A delegation from the Montgomery
County League of Women Voters
told the commissioners it favored
the school improvement program
l
County Board of Education.
Mrs Ralph Himstead, president OF
the league said that she would like
to see whatever taxation is neces-
sary enacted to insure carrying out
the full educational program.
She pointed out that Montgomery
County can stand extra taxation as
Maryland ranks tenth in per cap
ita income among the States"
Urges Higher Teacher Pay.
Mrs. Dean Dinwoodey also of the
league, urged the commissioners te
fix salaries at a level which woulc
Iattract new and qualified teachers.
She asserted only three students
from the county are at present en-.
rolled in the State Normal School.
Mrs. G.. Beale Bloomer, another
spokesman for the league, said she
hoped next years school budget
would provide for all the necessary
physical improvements in the sys-
tenn.

support to the proposed school pro-
gram, were those from the Alta Vista

Air Views on Liquor
AT Veterans Clubs
By a stoff Correspondent Of The stor

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 26.-The Mont
gomery County delegation to the
General Assembly was to meet today
to determine what action TO take on
the controversial bill authorizing on
sale liquor licenses for veterans
clubs in the county.
More than 100 county residents
crowded into the Senate chamber
yesterday to air their views Oh the
bill at hearing before the delega-
ton.
The measure was introduced in
the House last Friday by William
H. McGrath, Democrat, of Prince
Georges County, after the Mont
gomery group had refused to present
similar bill.
At the hearing, Alger Y. Barbee,
representing Silver Spring Memorial
Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars,
submitted two proposed amendments.
One would include fraternal organ-
izations in the bills provisions and
the other would make the measure
Statewide in application.
Bill Limits License Area.
AS originally drawn, the bill pro-
vides that on-sale liquor licenses
would be issued to 1eterans' clubs
only in the Bethesda. Wheaton,
Rockville and Potomac election dis
tricts.
Mr.. Barbee and other proponents
of the bill argued that lit is only
right to have veterans and fraternal
clubs put on all equal basis with
country clubs, which now have such
licenses"
He pointed out that the four elec-
ton districts which would be effected
are wet" areas and that the licenses
would be issued subject to the ap-
proval of the County Liquor Control
Board.
Residents of the four districts, he
said, would be given the right to
vote against such a system in a
referendum in the .948 general
election. s....
Others urging passage Of the bill
included John Alexander, COM
mander of Cissel-Saxon Post of
the American Legion, also In Silver
Spring; Efnar Christ4psen, trin
magistrate of the Silver Spring P6
lice Court, and Donald K. Staley,
exalted ruler of the Silver Spring
Elks Lodge.
Judge Christensen read letter
signed by George c. Esworthy, a
member of the Montgomery County
Board of Commissioners, urging the
delegation to support the measure.
Discrimination Charged.
Opponents of the bill, led by the
Rev. Clifford H. Richmond, presi-
dent of the County Ministerial As
sociation, contended that the bill
is discriminatory in that it favors
special groups.
Mr.. Richmond agreed with a
suggestion by the county delega-
,tion that the proposal be submitted
to the voters in referendum.
Herbert N. Eaton, representing
the county Civic Federation,
claimed that the county has been
and is traditionally dry" and that
the State forced country club
liquor licenses on us several years
ago"
He proposed that county veterans
groups join with county civic Or
ganizations in seeking repeal of the
law permitting one-sale liquor at
country clubs.
Other opponents included Walter
H. McClenon, chairman of the Leg
islation and Legal Action Commit
tee of the Civic Federation; w. B.
Horne, member of the federation;
the Rev. Donald Leonard of the
Chevy Chase Ministerial Associa-
tion; the Rev. Philip Edwards of
the Silver Spring Ministerial Asso-
citation, and Mrs Robert H. Simp-
son, Citizens Committee of North

Both Maryland Houses
Handle Variety of
County Measures
(Sales Tor Story on Page A-f.J
BY the Assoeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Mar. 26.-
While the administrations sales-tax
victory claimed the, major share
OF attention in the State House to-
day, the General Assembly could
look BACK on q day of furious ac-
tivity Oh other measures.
The House refused to reconsider
a vote by which it passed a women S
jury, service bill in order to allow
Baltimore County to be exempted
from its provisions. The measure
originated in the Senate and was
amended to exempt II counties from
= coverage.
The Senate passed and sent to
the Governor a bill creating a COM
mission to eliminate pollution in
Maryland streams and a measure
empowering Maryland authorities to
try Virginians for violations OF Po-
tomac River oyster laws.
8 House, Gets Rent Bill.
Sent to the House was a bill
authorizing the various counties and
municipalities to set up rent con-
trolls in the event Federal controls
are terminated.
Four Prince Georges County bills
also were sent to the Governor.
They would:
Extend the boundaries of Bladens-
burg to take in Villa Heights, Wood
ley Hills, Sunny Brook, Newton Viii
lage and Rogers Heights.
Change the boundaries between
the 18th and 18th election districts.
Extend the boundaries of Hyatts-
vile.
Increase the salaries of the county
commissioners from $500 to $1,000
. year.
Another bill prohibits the estab-
lishment Of dumps in Montgomery
County within 3 miles of any mu-
nicipality.
Prince Georges Bonds Approved.
The House passed bill authoriz-
ing the Prince Georges County COM
nissioners to issue up to 81 1000, 900
in bonds for general improvements
in the metropolitan area of the
county.
Also receiving House approval was
a measure requiring authorities
supervising road construction in the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Dis
trict to obtain the approval Of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission before installing storm
water drainage systems.
The House also refused to ac-
cept Senate amendments to a bill
dealing with the practice of op-
tometry and sent it to a conference
committee. In its present form,
the measure would bar advertis-
ing Of free eye examinations, but
exempts ban against publicizing
glasses and examinations at a fixed
rate.
Senate Acts on Ferry Bill.
During the afternoon, the Sem
ate adopted an unfavorable report
on a bill by Senator Balch, Demo-
crat, of Talbot County providing
for more ferries on Chesapeake Bay
as an alternative to construction
of a bay bridge.
Winning approval was a report
on House bill to provide for
commission to consider an award
for Maryland veterans of World
War II. The Governor would name
the commission which would sug-
gest a design, recipients of the
medals, and the cost.
Committee action on proposals to
permit Christian Science practi-
tioners to charge for their services
was delayed by debate over the rev.
enue program.
