Urges Substitution
For States Traffic
ConroI Project

The Allied Civic Group of Silver
Spring today was on record as
strongly indorsing" the Tuemmler
plan for improving traffic control
at Georgia avenue and Colesville
road.
Composed Of representatives of
nearly a score of citizens associa-
lions in the area, the group last
night adopted a resolution request
ing the Maryland State Roads Com
mission to substitute the plan drawn
by Fred w. Tummler, planning di-
rector for the REORGANIZATION
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, for the States plan.
The measure further requests that
the project include improvements
of the approaches for 200 feet in
each direction from the intersec-
| ton.
Richter to Represent Group.
Victor J. Richter, president of the
Allied Civic Group, was authorized
to represent the organization at a
meeting to be held soon with State
Roads Commission officials. Mr..
Richter also is on a special commit
tee of the Silver Spring Board of
Trade which Endorsed the Tuemmler
plan last week.
Proponents of the resolution con-
tended that the Tuemuler plan pro-
vides for long range needs of the
community while the States plan is
temporary. Ralph D. Boyd, past
president of the group, voiced indig-
nation that the commission had
made its plans without consulting
the Allied Civic Group, which long
has advocated an improved traffic
control system at this point.
Installation of conduits necessary
for complete traffic light system
on Georgia avenue from Colesville
road to Eastern avenue, while the
current repaving of Georgia avenue
is under way, was urged in another
resolution adopted last night.
Fire District Approved.
"Whole-hearted approval" was
given a proposal for establishment
of fire district in the central Sill
yer Spring business area. The
county commissioners have beer
asked to enact an ordinance requir-
ing chat underground cables replace
the present overhead power lines.
The group also supported a pro-
posed ordinance which would pre-
vent property owners whose appli-
cations for rezoning have been
denied to request rehearings within
a year. A resolution was adopted
asking the county commissioners to
act favorably on the proposal after
a public hearing October 81.
More Traffic Control Urged.
1t was voted to ask that the hours
be extended during which policemen
direct traffic at the East West high
way and Colesville road. Police are
stationed there now only during
rush hours.

Board Protests
SchooICrowdinq
In Falls Church
Asks County to Take
Immediate Steps
To Relieve Crisis

The Falls Church School Board
last night characterized the cur
rent overcrowding at the towns
two elementary schools as crisis"
and called upon the Fairfax County
School Board to take immediate
steps to alleviate it.
1t asked the County School Board
to "redistrict" schools and send chill
dren in the Falls Church schools to
other nearby, less crowded schools;
to rearrange bus routes to carry
out the redistricting and to install
added toilets and drinking facili-
ties at Madison and jefferson
Schools.
The county authorities also were
asked to obtain space in other Falls
Church area buildings if possible,
but in Quonset huts if necessary,
for six additional classrooms. It
was agreed that the town would
accept Quonset huts only on con-
dltlon that they be removed not
later than June, 1949.
Resolutions adopted.
The board adopted these addi-
tional resolutions:
l. That the County School Board
must not only take care of the pres
ent school children, but must make
plans for other children entering the
schools during the year.
! 2. That "in view of the crisis now
here and in view of the much worse
crisis in the near future, the Town
School Board requests that the
county construct two new clement
airy school buildings in the Falls
Church area to be finished not later
than the school year 1948-49."
3. That the County School Board
Immediately prepare a long -range
school program which would set out
how many children there will be in
the area in the next few years,
how many buildings are needed and
what the cost will be to the tax
payers.
Protests Half time Glasses.
The action on the request for
temporary buildings or Quonset huts
came after Mrs. John H. King pro-
tested the action of the school au-
thorities yesterday in announcing
that all second grades would be
placed on half-time basis. The
School Board was informed that
Madison School, whose first grade
has been on a half-time basis, was
the only schol in the county OPP
Grating in that fashion.
The board in discussing the So
called crisis" in Fairfax County
education, pointed out that a long
range plan of school construction
running into several million dollars
will be imperative in view of the
greatly increasing population.
The board also voted to recon-
mend that the County School Board
hire an additional maintenance
man at the high school who would
be qualified engineer and who
could supervise the janitors at Mad
ison and Jefferson Schools.
In recognizing for the coming
year, the board reelected George T.
Reeves to represent the board as
the town member of the County
School Board and Mrs. Mark Regain
as chairman. Samuel Dennis was
named secretary. The board voted
to meet on the second Thursday of
each month at Madison School and
patrons of local schools were urged
TO attend the meetings.
