Rockville Jumps The Gun

Our little city of Rockville certainly is way out

ties in Maryland facing This was brought
out at a meeting of the Mayor and Councilmen of
Hagerstown, the States second largest city and the
Mayor and Aldermen of Annapolis, with the local town
fathers on Thursday.
The Sentinel representative sweled with pride when
the visitors remarked that Rockville is set up like
private businessto pay it goes and brings improve
mentS to all parts of the town without penalzing resi-
dents of the older sections.
Both Hagerstown and Annapolis have annexed
large adjacent without concrete plans as to the
method by which they were to bring streets, waters
and sewers to the unmproved sections without bank

ing on legislation designed to control subdivision growth
and provide these improvements too late, both
municipalities acknowledge.

Now the heads of Rockville do not set the City up

growth of the town and being ready, to bring in
