Hearing Backs Program
For Woodmont TRIANGLE

Plans for street and highway de-
velopment in the Wodmont triangle,
which has been designated for ex-
pansion of the Bethesda central
business district, met with little op-
position last night at public hear
ing in the Bethesda Elementary
School,
Persons living outside the triangle
objected that the area is inadequate
for business district. They de-
clared storm water drainage is poor,
lots are too small, and streets are
too narrow. They said also that
proposed plans do not provide for
parking facilities.
Clarence Keiser. Bethesda-Chevy
Chase member of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, who conducted the
hearing, pointed out that the tri-
angle had been designated by the
commission as the logical place for
Bethesda business to expand. The
master plan of streets and high
ways, he said, was drawn in an
effort to insure orderly development
of the area.
The Montgomery County Board of
commissioners has final authority
on the adoption of the plans.

CharterChange
Seen Blocked
In Alexandra
Delay Of z Years Due
After Council FoiIs to
Act on Amendments

Revision of the Alexandria char
ter apparently is blocked for at least
two years. The city council last
night failed to approve proposed
charter amendments designed to
strengthen the city managers posi-
ton.
The vote was to 3 to refer the
proposed charter reTisions back to
a committee for q more complete
study. The amendments proposed
last night by Councilman Everett A.
Hellmuth dealt only with portions
Of the charter pertaining to the city
manager.
Before the council ordered a COM
plete study of the entire charter,
Col. Hellmuth introduced a resolu-
ton requesting Alexandria's repre-
sentatives in the General Assembly
to introduce legislation at the cur
rent session to amend the charter
SO that all department heads would
be appointed by the city manager.
Council Asked Recommendations.
At present, number of the de-
partment heads and other admins
trative officials are appointed by
the Council. Col Hellmuths mo-
ton went without second after
number Of councilmen protested
they had not had sufficient time to
study the charter proposals.
The charter revsions were recon-
mended by specialists from the Uni
versity of Virginia Bureau of Public
Administration at the request of the
Council.
When Councilman Paul Delaney
asked that a study be made of the
entire charter instead of amending
it "piecemeal." Col Hellmuth
warned 1t would take at least a year
for such study. He said it would
be another year before the Legisla-
ture could act on any recommended
tions that grew out of the study.
Needs Full Authority.
Here you have an opportunity to
take a progressive step and instead
you are taking a backward STEP"
Col. Hellmuth declared. He said
efficient operation of the city could
not be expected until the city man.
ager has full authority over all the
people who work for him.
Mayor William wilkins and Coun-
Gilman Jack Tulloch expressed op-
position to the charter recommen-
dation that the city auditor be ap-
pointed by the city manager, and
said they favored appointment Of
this office by the Council, which is
the present practice.
Seek Three fourth Vote in Zoning.
The three councilmen who voted
against further study of the recon-
mendations were Col Hellmuth,
Charles Nash and George K. Ben
der.
The council voted to inform Arm
istead L. Boothe, Alexandria's rep
resentative in the House of Dele
gates, that they favored protective
coming regulation similar to one in
Arlington requiring three-fourths
vote of the council to rezone when
20 per cent of property owners in a
500-foot radius of the property to
be rezoned object. Mr. Boothe had
requested the councils sentiment on
similar legislation he plans to in
troduce.

Some of the remains were
