Msgr. J. Francis Leary, pastor, that
st. Mary's has acquired from the
Potomac Synod Of the Reformed
Church, the property at Nos. 1917 to
1923 Virginia Avenue known as "Old
Homewood" and consideration is be-

no building operations are contem-
plated for an indefinite time.
Mr.. Pangborn stated that it is
Msgr. Leary's ambition to better
serve the fast growing outlying Ha-
gerstown areas both as to church and
school facilities and a program to
this end is under study.

Homewood Will Be
Dedicated Saturday
Impressive Ceremonies To
Mark Completion Of Ev. And
Reformed Church Home. =

Dedication services will be held
on Saturday at the 100000 Evan
gelical and Reformed Homewood
Church Home for the Aged on u. S.
Route II, near Williamsport. The
public is invited to the ceremonies
which will get underway at 200
p. m Then, on Sunday, ceremonies
will be held commemorating the first
anniversary of the laying of the
Homewood cornerstone. The public
is also invited to attend this cere-
mony, which will start at 300 p. m.
The new home is a three-story
building of contemporary design,
faced with red brick and accented
with limestone trim. Homewood
will have accommodation for 81 resi-
dents and its operating staff. 1t is
completely modern and freproof and
will enable the church to accommo-
date a larger, number of aged and
infrm persons from the MERGERS
burg, Potomac and Southern Synods
and the Juniata Area of central
Pennsylvania's Synod.
Prior to the building of the new
home, residents were housed in a
two-story building on Virginia Ave
nue.. The lack of proper operating
facilities at this location made it
necessary to construct the spacious
new home.
Among the featured speakers at
the dedication program will be: DR.
Allan S. Meek, president of the Lam
caster, Pa, Theological Seminary
and Charles H. Moss, a member OF
the Board of Trustees from York

will preside, and among the speak
ers will be: DIR. Charles Enders, Ar.
lington, Va, president of the Boarc
of National Missions; and r. Pau
Smith, a member of the Homework
Board of Trustees.

WneLnef the residents OF JildL SEE
ton are in favor of a shopping CEN
ter at that location, or are opposed
to it. / further pledged myself to
be bound by the result of that cleo
ton. The four Councilmen object
ed to any referendum, in spite of
the fact that they have repeatedly
made the statement at the meetings
of the mayor and council that from
their observation public opinion in
Zone One is preponderantly in favor
of the shopping center To me this
referendum would conclude the is
sue and would prevent further liti-
CATION and needless expense of large
sums of money for counsel fees and
Court costs, which, after all, come
out of the taxpayers pocket
At the meeting of September s.
and after my suggestion for ref
erendum, special counsel for the
Mayor and Council made this state
ment that referendum could not be
held and that the holding of il
would be illegal. In answer to this
Article 23A, Cumulative Supple
met Annotated Code of Maryland
Acts of 1947, Chapter 731, provide
and I quote: "(31 Zoning). The legis-
lative body of every incorporated
municipality in this State, except
Baltimore City, shall have the gen
eral power to provide reasonable
coming regulations, subject to the
of Section 80, in which it is provided
that until such time as the BoarC
of Appeals is appointed, the mem
bers of the Council of the City o.
HagerstoWn shall act as the Board O.
/ Zoning Appeals. In my opinion thi!
constitutes the members of the Coun
Gil, who have already held public
hearings as a Board, to pass on al
appeal from their own original rul
ing. In other words, this sets III
the City Council as a Court of APP
peals to pass on its rulings and de
cisions. A parallel situation Woulc
be where a case had been heard b.
a Court of original jurisdiction, al
appeal taken by one of the aggriev
ed parties, and the appeal would b.
heard by the same Court which ha'
already ruled against them.
For these, and other reasons,
am compelled to disapprove the or
| dinance to re-enact, with amend
ments, an ordinance passed on Jul,
5, 1851.
l am compelled to disapprove tn
ordinance to repeal an ordinanc
passed and approved by the Mayo
and Council for the City of Hagers
town, on October 5, 1850, because
am advised and believe that tn
Circuit Court for Washington Coun
ty has heretofore upheld the validit
of that ordinance.
l approve the passage of an OF
dinance to compel an ordinanc
passed on July 5, 1851, in spirit c
consistency.

Text Of Mayor II. L. Mills Veto Message
To Council On Latest Zoning Ordinance

AT special meeting of the Mayor
and Council of Hagerstown held on
the night of September 4, immedi-
ately after an open hearing in the
council chambers on the matter of
coming the City of Hagerstown, the
Council, by a vote of four to one,
submitted and passed; an ordinance
to repeal an ordinance passed and
approved by the Mayor and Coun-
ell of the City of HagerstoWn, on
October 5, 1850; an ordinance to re-
peal an ordinance passed on July 5,
1861, providing for the adoption of
comprehensive plan designed to
lessen congestion in the streets, etc;
and an ordinance to re-enact, with
amendments, the said ordinance
passed on July 5, 1851.
Subject to this action, four mem
bers of the Council called a special
meeting for 400 pm, September 6,
1851, for the approval or disapproval
of said ordinances by the Mayor of
the City of Hagerstown. At that
time the Mayor objected to the
special meeting, on the grounds that
it would be impossible for the Mayor
to give said ordinances due consid-
Grafton and to return them by that
time In my opinion the three or
! dinances in question are so inter
locked that they must be considered
at the same time. / still respect
/ fully submit that I have not had
sufficient time to read and digest
these ordinances and be in a posi-
/ ton to reach a decision by this time,
when it is realized that the ordin-
ance to re-enact, with amendments,
the ordinance passed on July 5, 1851,
contains A pages, and that this en-
tire ordinance had to be checked
/ against the ordinance of July 5, 1851
The magnitude of this study must
1 be appreciated by every one.
My opposition to an ordinance per
hitting the construction, mainten-
ance and operation of a shopping
center in the northeastern section
of Hagerstown is not due to any
selfish or personal reasons on my
part, but my opposition is based or
the almost unanimous objections
which have been made to me by res
idents of the north eastern section
of HagerstoWn, who would be di-
rectly affected by this change in the
zoning regulations.
The first paragraph of page 10 Of
the proposed coming ordinance pro
vides, Community shopping dis
tricts shall be designated as such
on the zoned district map. They
shall be distributed geographically
so that each major section or quad
rant of the city, may have the ia.
cilities which they are intended II
provide. These districts are intend
ed to provide ordinary retail shop
ping facilities for adjacent and near
by residential neighbOrhOOds." The
four members of the Council anC
their attorneys have consistently
commended that the shopping center
is for the municipality at large, which
is in direct conflict with the wording
of the ordinance which they have
prepared and which is quoted above
In order to be entirely fair on thi
matter, [ made the suggestion at the
meeting of September 4 that a ref
erendum be held in Zone One, which
was the original zoned area, in or
der to determine once and for al
referendum of the voters at regular
or special elections"
