Health Survey Shows
Shocking Conditions
Housing Hygiene Law Will Be Enforced
To End Health Menace Here

? Overcrowded conditions in
apartments, rooms and homes
in certain sections of Rock
vile where from 3 to II per-
sons sleep in one room - As
anti-freeze toilets that have
cross connections between
water supply and sewer, three
dwellings without toilet facili-
ties of any kind are some of
the startling facts revealed
by a survey made by an in
spector attached to the Mont
gomery County Health De-
partment.
The investigation was made at
the request of the Mayor and
Council of Rockville who passed on
September Is, 1948, an ordinance
on the Hygiene of Housing that
dwellings be kept clean and free
from dirt, filth, rubbish, garbage
and similar matter, and from YER
min and rodent infestation and in
good repair fit for human habita-
ton"
The ordinance authorizes the
Mayor and Council to issue orders
compelling the compliance with
said provisions, or to correct the
conditions, at the expense Of the
property owner, and charge the
property with a lien to the extent
of the necessary expenses.
Twenty homes were found to be
disregarding the ordinance regu-
lation on overcrowding which
states "the occupancy of any
dwelling unit having more than
one habitable room shall not ex-
coed an average of one and one
half persons per habitable room.
For the purpose of this regulation
any child under one year of age
shall be deemed to be one-half per-
son."
Other conditions reported in the
survey include Ia yards SO covered
with garbage, rubbish and ashes
as to be a definite menace to
health, as well as a harbor for
rodent infestation.
The ordinance as written re-
quires any person violating any of
the provisions, or any lawful or
der or regulation made and adopt
ed by the Mayor and Council of
Rockville in pursuance thereof,
shall be guilty of misdemeanor
and shall be subject to fine not
exceeding $50 ard each days vio-
lation shall constitute a separate
offense.
Letters are being sent owners of
properties not in compliance with
the ordinance informing them of
the report of the survey.

To Be Set Up
BY MeNoyr

The new County Council on
Tuesday authorized acting
County Manager Irving G.
McNayr to proceed with or
ganization of the department
of Public Works and the de-
partment of Finance as called
for by Charter. Mr.. McNayr
was also directed to recon-
mend persons for appoint
ment as heads of the two de-
partments.
After hearing protects of the
plan proposed last week by Mr..
McNayr to close down services in
the county buildings at Bethesda
and Silver Spring, the Council de-
cided to consider the matter for
another week. Mr.. McNayr this
week modified the proposal to
bring all county transfer records
to Rockville leaving only a recep-
zionist at each county building to
receive complaints and make APP
pointments with the county mana-
ger who would be at each county
building halliday each week. He
said a change in his plan would
permit retention of assessment and
land records in the county build
ings.
The Council also indicated pos
sible change in the plan to transfer
the suburban tree department
there is a chance it may be made
countrywide under the department
of Public Works.
Elmer Christensen, president of
the Board Of Trade of Silver
Spring, protested the provision of
the McNayr plan which would
move the county engineers office
from Silver Spring to Bethesda.
Blair Lee Ill, chairman of civic
affairs committee Of the Board Of
Trade, told the council that the
transfer of public records from
the suburban Offices would 'lend
great impetus to the already active
movement to incorporate both Sill
yer Spring and Bethesda" If the
plan is adopted, he said, it would
make Silver Spring the biggest
city in the United States operated
by remote control"
Speaking in favor of the Nc
Nayr plan was Mrs. j. Reed Brad
ley, representing the board of d.
rectors of the Bethesda Chamber
of Commerce, who said her group
favored the removal plan. Leslie
Sanders, Bethesda publisher,
charged the chamber represents
only portion of the people of that
area and that only IA persons were
present at the chambers board
meeting. Sanders said sentiment in
Bethesda is opposed to the change.
Councilman j. Douglas Brad
shaw of Takoma Park resigned as
a member of the County Police
Trial Board. He expressed belief
that it is unnecessary at this time
for the council to establish new
trial board.
A letter was read from Adolph
GUIDE, chairman of the Montgom-
cry County Welfare Board, asking
for appointment of council MEM
Der to serve on the board, in COM
pliance with State law. He also
wrote that the board badly needs
the services of the county attorney,
whose appointment has not yet
been made.
