Montgomery Council
Considering Plan for
Financial Survey

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil disclosed yesterday that 1t is
considering an economic and
financial survey of the county gov
ernment to help with future plan
ming, capital outlays and budgets
An announcement to that effect
was made by President Frederic P
Lee after Mrs. j. Rene Hemingway
of Chevy Chase. speaking for the
Montgomery County League OF
Women Voters, urged study by
an independent, outside research
agency with no political axes tc
grind"
Mrs. Hemingway said data col
lected by competent researchers
would be useful in virtually all
future activities, such as school
construction programs.
Principal interest in the coun-
ellis weekly meeting at Rockville
centered in the bitter dispute with
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
over zoning ordinance enforce
ment.
Charges Renewed.
Councilmen renewed charges
that the commission is neglectful
of it's duties by failing to prosecute
zoning violators and limited they
may take legal action in an effort
to relieve the Park and Planning
Commission of some of it's present
functions. The council also indi-
Gated it would consider the pos
sibility Of establishing its own
building inspection system IN
order to permit zoning enforce
ment by the county government.
Presumably. such system
would be established at the coun-
ellis legislative session in May. On
a question by Councilman P. j
Ligon, Mr.. Lee conceded that
county inspections would mean a
duplication of work in the subur-
ban areas of Montgomery.
1T would mean a duplication >
he said. but believe the taxpay-
ers would rather have that than
a continued situation in which
there is no enforcement"
Councilman j. Douglas Brad

commission "tongue-in-cheek

such units for actual combat service.
