that H. Stanley Stine, present

that the group feels that there
should be more equal distribution,
of Board of Education members, as
fas as areas are concerned. At
present, of the six members on the
Board, only one is from up-county,
Mr.. Diamond said.
1t was also the feeling of the

the Board, one who has children
attending elementary school. Mr..
Tyler has. two young daughters
who are pupils at the school in

Proposed Road
Ordinance Is Blasted

(C0nttflued from rage
ty into a city and that it would
close its charm"
At tEa resumption of the hear
ing Tuesday morning the code was
again attacked as "to rigid"
About twenty persons attended
this hearing.
The Home Owners Protective
Association, represented by David
Belts, Rockville attorney, advocat-
ed that a committee be set up to
study the matter further. Mr..
Belts introduced in evidence a let
ter from the Washington Metro
politan Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects. The letter
charged that the proposed code
would result in an excessive in
crease in road construction costs
and discourage new construction,
resulting in loss of revenue to the
County. The Chapter contended
the codes provisions would mean
a cost of $1,000 to the owner of a
60-foot lot amounting to virtual
confcation."
Councilman Thomas C. Kelley
who presided at Tuesdays meeting
said it will be at least three weeks
before the Council will decide IT,,
kind of ordinance, if any, it will
adopt. Mr.. Papageorge offered
figures at the conclusion of the
testimony, purporting to show that
increased costs under the new code
would be slight.
On Monday night the Montgom.
cry County Civic Federation urged
that the ordinance "be revised in
the light of testimony at current
hearings" The vote of 53 to 3
came after nearly two and a hall
hours debate. Allan B. Fay, of the
Wood Acres Association proposed
the compromise resolution. Blail
Lee III, at this meeting, spoke in
opposition to tie resolution. He
claimed there are three defects in
the proposed ordinance: conflict
with the work of other Government
agencies, excessive provisions, and
lack Of fexibility.

ward the new wing, besides gifts
Of linen and other items of upkeep.
"Can't our club donate bed and
linens?" The Woodside matron
asked her fellow club members
after reporting the Hospital Board
meeting. A card party produced
enough money for the hospital
bed and mattress-her husband is

care of the years supply of linen.
IT seems the Templars meet for
