Road Ordinance If Passed Would Halt
Progress In County, Speakers Claim
Would Seriously
Curtail Growth
And Prosperity

Roger j. Whiteford, Chevy
Chase, a Washington and Mont
gomery County attorney, was prin-
cipal speaker at mass meeting
held at the Armory in Silver
Spring last night to launch a cam
paign against road ordinance
proposed by the County Council.
The meeting was sponsored by
group calling itself the Home
Owners Protective Association,
with Don. E. Gingery chairman.
Deciding not to wait for public
hearing on the proposal set for
March IL at 9 a. m. in the County
Court House, Rockville, the group
formally kicked off its campaign
last week with large ADVERTISE
ments in newspapers charging
that the County Council shrouded
the proposal in secrecy" before
the plan was released on Feb
ruary z and that the new regula-
lions are being rushed through
without allowing adequate time for
citizen consideration.
"We are alarmed and mystiied
by the ridiculous specifications set
UP in the new ordinance" said Mr..
Gingery, who is member of the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. Mr..
Gingery, a local builder, estimated
the higher standards in the new
ordinance would seriously curtail"
growth in this area by cutting
down home building as much as
so per cent.
The 27-page proposed ordinance
spells out new requirements such
al wider and more costly streets
than before, mandatory construc-
ton of angular curbs instead Of
rounded ones, construction of s.
foot sidewalks and storm sewers,
erection of retaining walls and con-
struction Of driveway entrances
which would increase present home
costs $50 high it would drive a lot
of builders and buyers out of the
Market" declared speakers. Home
costs, under the proposal could be
increased from $500 to 1890, they
said.
They also charged that the spec
ifcations are so high in the new
ordinance that "even our best sub
divisions couldn't be built under
it."
Spokesman, who included I.
Gudelsky, vice president of the
county Road Builders Association,
also charged that builders and
engineers had approached the
council with an offer. to collabor-

Annual Hunt Races To Be
Run At Martins SATURDAY.

The annual hunt races, which
will start at 2 o'clock Saturday at
Martins Dairy farm, OIney, mark
the finish of the fox-hunting sea-
son at Redland.
Feature race is the Redland
Bowl, which was won last year by
7 T. Motifs Chen, ridden by Judy
Johnson. Mr.. Moot will try to keep
the bowl at Redland, after its
stay of several years in Virginia.
The Terpenning Cup for pairs
is the first race on the program
Saturday. Two ladies', or a lady
and gentleman who have hunted
with recognized hunt, make UP
the pairs in this event. 1t is run
over the same course as the Red
land Bowl.
Comic relief from the excitment
of the other events is provided by
the gap-hunters race, which is ex-
clusively for land owners and
renters in Redland country. No
thorobreds are eligible, and no
jumps are permitted. Ponies, draft
horses, and it is rumored other
strange animals, seek for holes in
the walls, not to hide in, but to
dash through, in order to win the
race and the trophy. This race has
the largest number of entries Of
any of the days events.

Miss Ella PIummer Honored
BY Register Wills Office

and auditor in the office. When
she began service 30 years ago, re-
cords in the Office were kept by
hand. Henry C. Allnutt was regis
ter of wills. Shortly after her
start, she says, the typewriter was
accepted and replaced the long
handed method.
Appointed Chief Deputy Regis
ter of Wills upon the retirement
of Miss Lydia F. Prettyman in
May 1910, Miss Plummer, except
for annual vacations, has taken
only one leave from her job. In
1916 she made a two-month trip
to the west coast and Canada.
One of the most unusual wills
filed for probate during her tenure,
Miss Plummer recalls, was a will
written on a postal card. The in
strument, however, was never pro-
bated because it was not properly
attested. The largest estate to come
under her supervision during her
three decades in the office, was one
valued at 100000.
Miss Plummer lives in Gathers
burg with the family of her broth
er-in-law, F. Carroll Walker. She
is an active member of Grace Meth
odist Church and also of the Colo
mel Tench Tilghman Chapter of
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton of Montgomery County. She
plans to continue working as long
as she enjoys good health, she
said.

County Starts
S urveY OF
Trash Puzzle

This week County Manager Irv-
ing G. McNayr launched survey
to determine the necessity for a
county-operated trash collection
and disposal system.
In ordering the study, the coun-
ty council also denied an applica-
ton by Blake d. Merson for a
license to operate a dump at Bean
town, just outside Of Rockville.
Mr.. Merson's application was re
jected on the ground the dump is
inadequate. Pending completion of
the study, Mr.. Merson will be per-
mitted to operate the dump on a
month-to-month basis.
The council also ordered inspec-
tons to be made of all other priv
ate dumps in the county at least
once a month. At present the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission picks up trash in most
of the county's suburban area and
disposes of it in the commission S
incinerator near Silver Spring.
Council President Frederic P.
Lee emphasized TIE council did not
desire to set up a trash-removal
and disposal service as a substi-
tute for that now furnished by the
sanitary Commission.
The Board appointed Mrs. It. B.
Dorset, Beallesville, to the Lii
brary Advisory Committee and Ma
son Butcher, a traffic engineer in
the Public Works Department, to
the County Safety Board.
