Farm Land BOOms
AS City Dwellers
Move to County

Apparently there is to be no
slipping of farm land prices in
Montgomery County in the forsee-
able future.
Reports in the county show that
farm land is about so percent high
er than it was two years ago ard
the average per acre price is now
around $3.50. Prices in the Pooles-
vile area have not increased at
that rate, presumably, due to the
greater distance from Washington.
From this it would appear that
the largest part of land changing
hands in the County is going to
people with Washington interests
who are attempting to get away
from the congested urban area in
case of bombing attacks on the
Federal City.
1t is understood that the Robert
Farmer place, 270 acres near Red
land, was sold for $4,000 recent
ly; 219 acre farm in Darnes-
town brought $4,000. Five years
AGO the same farm sold for $15,-
900. In the same area another
233-acre farm brought $4,000 re-

A large hunt territory in the Coun-

The Hunt maitnains its kennels

recognized as one of the top packs
in the country. At the National
Fox Hound Show in Byrn Mawr,
Pa, last year, Potomac hounds
won important honors. In addi-

for the best pack in the show, they
won also the Pair Glass and placed
in several other important classes.
Mr.. Owen pointed out that the
hunt has proven an asset in the
County. When it moved into the
Potomac section, many farms wera
for sale and many were run down.
Many new homes have been built
since and many new people have
moved into the area, Mr.. Owen
added.
The Hunt has paneled nearly 40
square miles of country so that

School Board
Continued from Page /

edied later. The main point is that
it would give the county's citizens
a greater measure Of control over
the direction of the most expen-
sive, and one of the most import
ant, of all functions of county gov
eminent.
"The present system, under
which School Board members are
appointed by the Governor, makes
it easy for a political machine to
dominate the county's school sys-
tenn. Also, it enables the Governor
to ignore preponderant local views,
as Montgomery County has good
reason to know.
"The elective school board sys-
tenn, as proposed in the law to be
voted on November 6, would sub
stitute direct, local, citizen control
for remote control through An
napolis.
Some members of the Charter
Committee would prefer a third
type of school board organization
under which the board would be
appointed by the Montgomery
County Council. The Board of Di-
rectors believes, however, that the
proposed law adequately protects
the powers of the County Council
since the Council would retain its
present authority to appropriate
funds for schools.
"For these reasons, the Board
of Directors urges the members of
the Charter Committee and the
voters of Montgomery County to
approve the School Board law in
next Tuesdays referendum.
Stephen James of Silver Spring
is chairman of the Charter Com
mittee's Board of Directors.
