For VFW Club
In Silver Spring
Montgomery Defers
Petition for Building
Big Department Store

The Montgomery County Com.
missioners yesterday announced they
had authorized the Silver Spring
Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, to
build a clubhouse and apartments
on property at the end of Thayer
avenue, Silver Spring.
The authority was contained in
approval of a coming Redistribution
of the VFW property.
At the same time, the commits
sioners deferred until May a decision
on rezoning petition for a $1,0O0,-
600 department store in Silver
Spring.
The commissioners rejected the
application of H. w. Stoehr and
M. G. Huntemann to rezone property
at Ridge road and Georgia avenue,
Montgomery Hills, for use as q
funeral home. This project had
been fought by several groups, in
cluding the North Woodside- -Mont-
gomery Hills Citizens Association,
which presented protesting petit
tion signed by more than 200 per-
sons.
The VFW project also had been
opposed by some residents. The de-
partment store proposal brought
strong objections from several hun
dred persons who contended the Sill
yer Spring business district should
not be extended farther. The petit
ton, filed by L. P. Steuart, D. r.
Ernst and E. F. Cave, was for re-
coming Of property on Colesville
road between Fenton and Spring
streets.
The commissioners approved II
rezoning applications, rejected IT
and deferred action on 81.
