City Always Has
Open Sessions.
Council States

Mayor Kelly on Monday issued a
statement to the press in which he
asked that citizens go to the polls
and give him and TIE council a
vote of confidence - in the ire
mendous program planned for
1850 and 1851 as spelled out in the
Sentinel last week.
The Mayor and Council have
learned to work as a unit, he said.
1--WE have overcome one Of the
greatest problems Of today; that of
wide variance of thought and pur-
pose. It is because we function SO
cohesively that we can turn out
the vast amount of work accom-
plished in 1919 and il reelected

a second statement was issued by
the Mayor and Council.
"The questions asked of the
Mayor relative to past and pro-
posed function of the city admin
istration indicate that the candi-
date who proposed them is quite
uniformed; or by his "glittering
generalities" attempts to distort
the. true facts and create an UNI
favorable picture of the present
administrative endeavors," the
Mayor told the Sentinel All meet
ings, he said, have been conduct
ed openly and many times the
Mayor has personally invited Civic
groups and individuals TO partici-
pate; the press has been encour-
aged to be present at all meetings
as both the Editors of the Sentinel (
and Times can attest. Since last
November a member of the press
has attended all meetings. The
City Government does not hold ex-
ecutive meetings, he stated.

skin, 913 Grandin Avenue, Rock
vile, was the sole Montgomery

Teacher Contest" sponsored by the
Quiz Kids radio program. Bobby's
letter on "The Teacher Who has

Quiz Kid pin a certificate of
honor.
Subject of Bobby's letter is Mrs.
Lillian Klein, formerly Mrs. In
man, who is his teacher in the
sixth grade at the Rockville Ele-

she is understanding when we do
something wrong-she makes US
see our own mistakes-we are very
proud that she is going to be made
principal Of our new school in
Rockville" were some Of the re-
marks in his letter.
His admiration for Mrs. Klein

on hearing him play at school,
complimented him on his "tech-
nique." He then and there decided
to renew his musical training.

May Legislative
Sessions To Be-
Opened Monday

The president of the County
Council on Tuesday announced
that the second annual Legislative
session, which will continue
through May, will open on Mon
day at 2 P. M. and a second SEES
sion will be held Tuesday.
Harold F. Hammond of Silver
Spring an executive with the u. S.
Chamber of Commerce, attended

sington, who resigned recently.

lens" at the Montgomery Blair

at which time he will issue state
ment, it was learned.
Although neither Mr.. Papa
george or the County Manager
would discuss the action, it was
learned that a major factor lead
ing to the resignation is the belief
Of county heads that the depart
ment has not progressed as rapidly
as it should have in it's nine months
existence. There has also been
some disagreement between Mr..
Pspageorge and one of his key
subordinates, ]. o. Harvey it is
said.
The Council, several weeks ago,
ordered Mr.. Harvey, on Mr.. Papa
georges recommendation, to move
his offices from Gaithersburg to
Rockville. 1t later rescinded the
order after hearing Mr.. Harvey's
objections to the move. The wrang-
ling continued, and at a meeting
of the Council last week, in a
report by Mr.. Papageorge of the
departments activities he COM
planned of his inability to obtain
needed information from Mr.. Har-
vey, charging that IT can't even
find him for days at a time" At
one time during the session, Mr..
Papageorge was heard to exclaim:
81 don't even have control of my
own department"
Mr.. Harvey, when informed of
Mr.. Papageorge's remarks, ex-
planned that he is field man and
"out on the job most of the time"
Mr.. Harvey is charged with super
vision of all work done on country
roads,.
The appointment of Mr.. Papa
george, who came from Atlanta,
Ca, was criticized strongly by
some county interests. They spoke
out against employing the $9,500-
a-year executive and others from
out of the state for key positions.

ture for playground sites, park
areas, and other recreation facili-
ties. Members of the last Rec

unanimously a year ago in protest
at the Councils failure to consult
with them before curtailing very
sharply the program developed by
the Board.
