Chamber Told
By McNayr Of
Building Plan

"The handwriting on the wall is
plainly visible" County Manager
Irving G. McNayr told the mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
at a special meeting on Monday
evening. Rockville and Montgom-
cry County will see a tremendous
growth within the r,ext few years
and the people will demand more
and more service from their coun-
ty government"
"It is for this reason" he said,
chat TIE council feels it is impera-
tive to make plans for expansion
and to modernize the staff to do the
job the county government will be
called upon to do"
Mr.. McNayr honored the mem
bers of the chamber by showing for
the first time site plans of the
building the council hopes to erect
on land it now has an option to
purchase, at South Perry and
Jefferson Street, with the Welsh
field available for parking facili-
ties. This land, he noted, has al
ways been held for a public health
building by the Board of Educa-
tion and the new building will pro-
vide for that service, as we'll as all
the other county offices - super
visor of elections, police, depart
ment of inspection and licenses,
public works, farm extension serv-
ice, surveyors office and all ad-
ministrative services.
The county manager pointed out
that by moving these offices from
the Court House, sorely needed
space will be freed for expanding
court facilities. Space will also
be freed in the Board of Educa-
ton building which is planning for
rapidly increasing student popu-t
lation.
The new building plans are still
very much in a formative stage,
Mr.. McNayr. stressed. The, county
hopes to be able to take advantage
of Federal funds available under
the Halliburton Act and the bpild-
ings would be designed with that
in mind. he said.
In reply to the chambers OBJ
