by the Recreation Board would

Since the town has never had a
budget for recreation, only by
raising taxes at least 7 cents per
500 could this sum be collected.

cordance with the Recreation
Board felt that the only way the
sentiments of the taxpayers and
citizens could be properly deter
mined was by sending reply post

family unit in case of apartment

Zoning Bill
Is Drafted

A revised version of the con-
troversial roadside coming bill,

General Assembly yesterday.
The substitute measure was
drafted by six Delegates, including
H. McGrath, Democrat, of Prince

passed by the Assembly before it
adjourns next month.
1t would give the State Roads
Commission coming authority to a
depth of 100 feet on each side of
new State highways opened to
traffic after June 1, provided they
have a traffic count of at least
1000 vehicles a day.
The Commission would be pro-
hibited from regulating signs ad-
vertising "home occupant enter
prises and products.
Under the old bill, the commits
sion would have received coming
authority to a depth of 200 feet on
each side of heavily travelled roads.

by the Judiciary Committee. The
roadside bill, which comes up at
every session, has been fought
consistently by the Montgomery

Council Orders Survey OF
County Financial Status

The County Council at its
meeting in Rockville Tuesday
revealed that it had signed a
contract with the firm Of
Wainwright, Ramsey & Lam
caster, municipal finance con-
sultants, to conduct a survey
of the county'sI financial, So
cial and economic condition
and to bring in recommended
tions for the future. The
council expressed the hope
that the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission
would join in the survey in
order that the effect of that
agency on the county's finan-
cial status may be deter
mined.
The survey was described as an
effort to keep the county's credit
standing at the highest possible
level and to enable the county to
obtain funds for needed public inn
provements at the lowest possible
interest rate.
The council also revealed that in
closed session last week it had
rescinded resolutions pertaining to
a previous request to the State
Roads Commission for proposed
widening of Wisconsin Avenue
from the Bank of Bethesda to the
town limits near the Naval Medi-
cal Center.
The reason given was that land
owners who had indicated previ-
ously that they would dedicate
land for the right-of-way were now
asking that they be paid for it -
that it would cost the county
around $500, 900, which lit could
not Afford" President Lee pointed
out. OF the $4,000 square feet
needed for the widening, 1883
would have to be purchased at
about S. square foot, he said.
The Council already is commit
ted to spend approximately $780,
900 for curbing, drainage, side
walks and similar work. Mr.. Lee
reported that the Bethesda Cham
Der of Commerce is undertaking to
persuade the property owners to
change their minds before the
State Roads Commission opens
bids already invited
In the first coming case original
ed since it took Office, the Council
denied an application filed by Will

ficatiof of tract in Burtonsville
