Town Will Be
Much Larger
BY The Plan
Bill To Be Presented
General Assembly
Provides Expansion

Rockville will become a
very much larger town if a
bill to be introduced in the
General Assembly by the
County Delegation is APP
proved by the Legislative
body. From an approximate
area of one mile the town will
have an area of about six
miles if the measure is APP
proved.
1t is proposed in the expansion
plan to take in areas surrounding
the present town, including the
subdivisions of lockwood, West
End, Haiti and Lincoln Park. Also
included would be a great deal of
land as yet undeveloped which will
provide for future expansion of
the town proper. See map on Page
8 and draft of provisions of the
bill.
A conference of town heads with
the Montgomery County Delega-
ton to the Assembly brought about
the proposal of Rockville's extend
ing its corporate limits in orderSto
meet the rapid growth and provide
the sanitary utilities so necessary.
Out Of that conference grew the
idea that instead of bringing in
small areas piece-meal as has been
done in the past, a definite move
should be made to take in both a
primary taxing area and a sec
ondary taxing area" The second
airy taxing area would not be for
taxation purposes and would have
very low tax rate. It's major
function would be control of zon-
ing and planning for the growth
of this area which is rapidly be-
coming a reality. 1t would pay for
utilities as it acquires them.
BY the measure Lincoln Park
would through front-foot benefit
get the sanitary sewers so badly
needed. This would be self-support-
ing and be done without one PEN
ny's burden to the taxpayers Of
Rockville according to the office Of
Mayor and Council.
The proposals to be contained in
the bill have been approved by the
Rockville Chamber of Commerce,
the Rockville Lions Club, the
Rockville Civic Association, Lin
coin Park Citizens Association and
much favorable comment is heard
from the public in general.
There is also a possibility that
Twin Brook may be included in
the expansion plan, according to
Mayor lamar Kelly and Town
Manager John Mcdonald.

Has Anyone Seen Buddy,
A German Police Dag?

Where, oh where, has my little
dog gone? Maybe to Florida-at
least that's where Eli Alper, local
merchant, thinks his dog has gone.
Mr.. Alper returned from Florida
Tuesday night after spending four
weeks there. His devoted dog,
Buddy, had pinned for his master
since his departure for the sunny
South, and being able to bear his
grief no longer, set out himself
last Friday night. He has not been
seen since.
Mr.. Alper describes his dog as
a highly intelligent one - won't
read any paper but the Sentinel
(Which proves it,, and says he is
very friendly.
Buddy is a dark grey German
Police dog with few white mark
ings near the throat, and has a
short tail. He wore collar and
tag.
II anyone sees Buddy, please
call the Sentinel or Mr.. Alper.
