'G|enbrook May Seek
Tax Cut # Apartments
Are Permitted in Area

The Montgomery County Com
missioners have been informed that
approval of petition for commercial
Use of about four acres on Wiscon-
sin avenue adjacent to the Naval
Medical Center. Bethesda, would
result in demands by Glenbrook
Village residents for lower assess
ments on their homes.
The warning was voted yesterday
by 1t. Col. Carl H. Cuphaver, 8611
Brandt place, Bethesda, at a hear
ing on the petition, filed by Samuel
Kushner.
Mr.. Kushner's request was one
of six heard by the commissioners
in the Bethesda County Building.
All were taken under advisement.
J. Harry WEIGH, attorney for the
applicant, said a five-story apart
ment hotel and two garden-type
apartment buildings with between
200 and $50 units are planed for
the site. He estimated the cost
at approximately 100000. The
property extends from Jones Bridge
road to the Glenbrook Village sub
division.
After Mr.. Welch told the board
the county would get much needed"
revenue from the project, Col. Cup
haver declared:
The gain of which Mr.. WEIGH
speaks would be offset by immedi-
ate demands by residents of Glen
brook Village, if the petition is ap-
proved, that the assessments on
their homes be reduced, since prop
erty values would be adversely af-
fected by such a project"
More than 10 residents of the
subdivision attended the hearing.
Earl G. Linhart, 4709 North Chel-
sea lane, presented a petition signed
by about 260 homeowners in the
development opposing the rezoning
request.
Another petition, filed by the
Bannockburn Heights Improvement
Co., for apartment-h house use of
about 81 acres between Massa-
chusetts avenue extended, Colds
boro road and Macarthur boulevard,
also resulted in strong opposition by
about so residents of the area.

Out That College

3. (Q)"Dear Nancy When I
first went to college, ! had the
idea that life would be rosy,
and that there would be a

short, I figured that college

would point that out to the
readers, because they can feel

(A) That's a good point. The
fact that you'll be studying at

no credit to you if you have to
