Montgomery Council
Faces Possible Suit
By Former Official

Possible legal action to require
the Montgomery County Council
to pay a former county commits
sioner $40 for attending seven as
sessment hearings last winter ap-
peared likely today.
The $40 claim, made by George
C. Esworthy. was denied by the
council at its meeting yesterday
in Rockville.
When informed of the decision,
Mr.. Esworthy said he would file
suit to collect the money. He
added he also would attempt to
obtain payment of $500 which
he contended is due him as salary
between last January. when the
council took Office. and November.
1850, the expiration date Of his
four-year term.
Claims Group Overpaid.
Council President Frederic P.
Lee, in a six-page opinion. quoted
Mr.. Esworthy's attorney, F. Bar
nard Welsh, as saying the four
other former county commission
ers were entitled to a similar
amount.
Actually, he said, the commits
sioners had been overpaid from
s85 to $256 each for the period
between the adoption of the char
ter in November, 1948. and the
date when the council took office.
He said the charter provides
that the county commissioners, in
serving as an interim council,
should have been paid at the rate
Of $40 for each meeting-the SAL
airy drawn by councilmen.
Instead, he explained. the five
former county heads drew the
compensation of county commits
sioners.
In response to a question by re-
porters, Mr.. Lee said the council
had not considered. "for the pres
ent." the money which he claimed
had been overpaid. Fe emphasized,
however, that if Mr.. Esworthy files
suit, the council will file coun-
ter claim.
Survey Georgia Avenue.
In other business. the council
was told by County Manager Irv-
ing G. McNayr that the State
Roads Commission is surveying
Georgia avenue between Colesville
road and Glenmont-a distance
of about 4 miles-with a view
to widening it.
Mr.. McNayr said contracts prob
ably would be awarded next year
since the commission has given thu
project top priority. He described
the stretch of road as the worst
traffic bottleneck" in suburban
Montgomery County.
George T. Papageorge, director
of the Public Works Department,
said contracts have been awarded
for the improvement Of two park
ing lots in Silver Spring and work
should start this week.
He also reported that resurfacing
is under way on A streets in the
Bethesda area.
The council granted a permit TO
Lois j. Sparks to operate the Good
acre Day Nursery at 8625 Piney
Branch road, Silver Spring, and
8519 Glenview avenue. Takoma
Park. Taken under advisement
were applications by the Christ
Child Society, Inc. for a permit
to operate a convalescent home for
children in Rockville and by the
Jesup Blair Nursery School for a
permit to operate the school in

Compromise measures are nov

It's The Old Story Over Again
Both houses of the Montana
legislature have committees in
vestigating the liquor control
board. 1t was done in 1947, in
1915 and in 1889. Inasmuch as
glazing inefficiencies or NAL

then by the special committees
appointed, comparatively few cit
liens were aware of the investi-
cation.
Now, with a change of admin
istration, both senate and house
have such special committees at
work again. The senate commit
tee proposed that it work jointly

proposal went unheeded.
