To Stay" Anles
Writes Press

Seemingly not discouraged by
the ruling of clause of the pro-
posed charter for the county as
unconstitutional, Col. Norman B.
Ames, president of the Charter
Committee last week made it clear
that "Charter is here to stay"
In a letter to county papers Col.
Ames said:
"Just in case of any doubt, I
want to make it absolutely plain
that the Charter is still in the run
ming, that is supporters are strong
ly in the fight, and that here are
no changes in plans to present the
Charter to the voters in Novem-
ber."
He continued: Charter has
stood a critical court test without
undermining of its basic frame
work. 1t should go to the polls in
November as a workable instru-
ment.
81 want to reaffirm the faith
of the Charter Committee that the
Charter, as written, is the best pos
sible instrument for practical adj
ministration of County govern
ment."
He said finally: "The Charter
Committee will hold any further
comment until the Circuit Court
has handed down its final decree"

Would Have Solved The
Sanitary Problems For
Several Communities 4

"The decision on July Is of
the Montgomery County
Commissioners to deny the
citizens of Lincoln Park and
adjacent areas the rights to
decent sanitation, by having
sewers installed, heraldg
again their actions of follow
ing poor leadership and adj
vice." Mayor Lamar Kelly Of
Rockville told the Sentinel.
Editors note: The Sentinel
agrees
With the following facts at hand
it is wondered if they viii not, at
some future date, reverse this de-
cision as they have reversed them
selves so many times recently.
Over a year ago DIR. v. L. Eli
colt as Health Officer of the Coun-
ty, faced with the seriousness of
the then and now prevailing SAM
tary conditions brought about by
crowded septic systems in soil that
aciu not absorb, appealed to the
only facility that could help-the
city of Rockville. BY joint efforts
of city and county, an engineering
study was made, clearly indicating
that sewers can be installed. The
County Commissioners, meantime,
asked for and received authority
to issue up to 100000 worth OF
bonds by which this project can be
financed. 1t is uncomfortable that
they would spend $4,000 for en-
cheering surveys and then shelve
this direly needed utility.
The foilo1oing are fdctss
1. The Health Department
realizes the absolute necessity Of,
installing sewers.
2. The present Negro High
School plus proposed additions will
require the Board of Education to
spend thousands of dollars in an
attempt to handle sewerage that
has for years run down the public
highway. (The Health Depart
ment itself says that a septic sys-
tenn in this area for a school can
not be made to operate without
hazard.)

Poor Leadership" Says Mayor
On Rejection OF Sewer Projects
A Step Forward

East Middle Lane Monkey
RUM is being graded this week
preparatory to hard-surfacing.
This is a definite step toward
alienation of the traffic pro-
blem on Rockville's main street,
as well as opening up needed
additional commercial areas.
The Mayor and Council this
week expressed the hope that
this will also provide an incen-
tive for further cleanup of this
area, project long advocated
