Friendly Suit Offered
To Free 81 Million
Surplus in County

William r. Turner, executive
secretary of the Prince Georges
County Citizens Committee for
Good Government, has offered to
bring a friendly taxpayers suit
to free 81 million the commission
ers contend they cannot use.
The offer. however, was ignored
when received by the commission
erS in a letter from Mr.. Turner
yesterday.
Mr.. Turner argues that the COM
mlssioners should issue tax-an-
tlclpation notes to refund a mil
lion dollars now held in short
term bank loans in the special
improvement district funds. But
the commissioners have said the
law does not give them such au-
thority.
Points to Section in Law.
The civic leader said section
1885 OF the Prince Georges County
local laws specifically authorizes
your board to borrow such sums
as are needed for special improve
ments. to fix the maturities, the
interest rates and the manner and
place OF payments >. provided nc

Mr.. Turner pointed out that
special improvement projects
which include streets, sidewalks
drainage and street lighting, are
paid for in added assessment.
against the affected propert,
owners over 10-year period.
If any genuine doubt exists OF
the part Of your board that il

added, II would consider bringing

Reiterate Position.
In moving to answer Mr.
Turner'S letter. giving answers tt
some questions raised but ignoring
the tax-anticipation note sugges.

their position that the county ha.
a surplus of only $4,000, which
they consider to be a very small
working balance for a SIS millior
budget.
The commissioners previously
have said they will have to have
authority from the 1858 Genera

Turner stated that "the proper

Montgomery Studies
Requests for Easing
|0f Anti-Fire Rules

Requests for easing its proposed
anti-f1re measures were being
studied today by the Montgomery
County Council.
Many of the approximately Is
persons attending a hearing on
the proposals yesterday declared
the changes, if adopted in their
present form, would work a A.
nancial hardship on nursing home
operators. And some of the own
ers said they would be put of out
business.
The proposals, which would
amend the countys ordinance
regulating hospitals. sanitariums
and nursing homes, are designed
to prevent a recurrence of the
September 18 fire at the Joliffe
Nursing Home near Colesville, in
which four elderly persons died.
Fire Marshal Charles Howe said
there are about 20 nursing homes
of frame construction in the
county which will have to be re.
modelled if the proposed amend
ments are approved.
Robinson Offers Suggestions.
Leading off for those who
wanted to temper the amend
mentS was w. L.. Robinson, vice
chairman of the county Safety
Board. He suggested these
changes:
/. No patients be placed above
the first floor Of any frame in
stitution not equipped with q
sprinkler system except in homes
having less than six patients. The
original proposal would prohibit
patients above the first floor OF
all frame institutions. regardless
Of size, unless a sprinkler system
is installed.
2. No license be granted for any
new institution unless it is within
600 feet Of a fire hydrant. The
councils proposed amendment
carries the 600-foot restriction for
all nursing homes. old and new
8. All homes presently licensed
and not located within 600 feet
of a hydrant be required to pro-
vide water storage facilities ap-
proved by the fire marshal. The
original amendment would re-
quire 1000 and 2.000-gallon ca
pacity storage units. depending on
the institutions size.
Provision for Smokers.
4. That a safe smoking room be
provided for patients and visitors
and that smoking be conducted
under proper supervision. As
originally proposed by the council
jail patients would be searched fol
cigarettes and matches on leaving
a special room set aside for smok-
ing and the room itself woulc
have to be built Of special fire.
resistant materials.
Strong opposition to the smok.
ing room proposal was voiced by
j. Everett Schrider of the Allied
Civic Group of Silver Spring. HI
argued such a requirement woult
work hardship on bedridden, pa
tients and that the search pro-
vision would invade the indivi'
dual's constitutional rights.
Insists System Is Ideal

;lof installing sprinkler systems

three or four of these flies, with diff

These are the flies that settle in

night, when they are replaced by an
equally dense cloud of mosquitoes.
These are the flies that drive the
