A zoning Applications
by Board
In Prince Georges

-Four Zonlng applications, three
of them controversial, were denied
yesterday by the Prince Georges
County Board OF Zoning Com
miSsionerS.
In lively session at the County
Service Building, Hyattsville, the
board approved IA other applica-
tions and permitted withdrawal
of another.
One of the changes denied was
sought by American Legion Post
ITO. The post asked that its
property at Thirtieth street and
Eastern avenue. Mount Rainier,
be reclassified from one-family
residential to light commercial.
Robert B. Matthias, counsel for
the post, said he had been in
formed that rezoning was re-
quired before the post could
qualify for an on-sale liquor
license. But Fred w. Tuemm.er
of the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
said the county's liquor laws are
flexible enough to make rezoning
unnecessary.
Opponents Are Heard.
About II citizens of the section
spoke against the proposal.
Another application which failed
to gain approval because of strong
opposition was filed by Joseph F.
Horning. He asked that 168, 1888
square feet of land at University
lane and Anne avenue, Takoma
Park, be rezoned from one family
residential to light commercial.
A delegation of 40 citizens pro-
tested the change, claiming that
there already is enough COM
mercial property in the area and
that reclassification would add to
neighborhood traffic hazards.
Another contested application
which was refused was that of
Inez I, Swick, owner of property
at Kingwood drive and New
Hampshire avenue, Takoma Park.
Mrs. SWick asked rezoning from
one-family residential to two
family residential.
Her application. as we'll as that
of Mr.. Horning. was opposed by
three citizens associations.
