A low bid of $1.3O9, 400 was

timated the plant would cost
$782,961. Because of rising con-
struction costs, the county revised
that estimate last May to $1,051,-

Mr.. Corbalis said the higher
figures resulted solely from in
creased construction costs, and
not from any changes in the type
of plant
He described the plant as a
modified aeration facility, and
said it would provide intermedi-
ate treatment. The design calls
for no open beds, and all sludge
is to be heat dried.

Construction of the sewage dis

undertaking contemplated in the

Park Planners Oppose
Extension Of Business
Area in Silver Spring

The Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission is
opposed to extending the Silver
Spring business district beyond the
Fenton street boundary set up in
the 1947 master zoning plan.
That was brought out in an
opinion to the Montgomery County
Council today. urging denial of an
application to reclassify a lot on
the northwest side of Colesville
road between Fenton and Spring
streets from residential c to COM
mercial D.
The application of the Maryland
Real Estate Co. is for a lot con-
tanning 12,30O square feet now i'm
proved with a small apartment
building.
Commission Statement.
The commission opinion stated
that "if the Silver Spring business
district is not to be contained for
the foreseeable future along the
eastern frontage of Fenton street
as it's eastern boundary north of
Sligo avenue as designated on the
master zoning plan . :, it is i'm
possible to foresee how the con-
tinued residential character of the
communities along Colesville road
between Silver Spring and -Four
Corners or northeast of Silver
Spring and located north OF Boni-
Ifant street to Dale drive can be
maintained through zoning."
Any deviation from the 1947
zoning plan, which recommends
apartment zoning for the block
containing the applicants lot,
would be undesirable at this time,
the commission added.

application, as we'll as two others

mends approval, is set for 8 pm.
