|3Civie Groups Oppose
Residential Parking
Plan for Bethesda

Opposition to amendment Of q
Montgomery County Council bill
so as to provide public parking
lot facilities in the Bethesda resi-
dental areas. was expressed at a
public hearing last night by three
civic organizations.
The Edgemoor Citizens Associa-
ton said its objection is fiat and
uneQuivocal." while the Citizens
Association of Section 8. Chevy
Chase, and the Northwest Be-
|thesda Citizens Association also
opposed the proposal.
The amendment is sponsored by
Councilwoman Stella Werner. Res
idential areas are needed for park
ing, according to Clarence Keiser,
attorney for the Parking Lot Pur-
chasing Committee of the Bethesda
Chamber of Commerce, because
there is no available property in
some parts of the business section
for parking lot purposes.
Business Land Price High.
The amendment would give the
council the right to acquire land
within or without" the business
district. Mr.. Keiser's group would
agree to use Of the words "adja-
cent to- instead Of without. :"
Most Of the citizens present at
last nights hearing were not in a
compromising mood, however.
DR.. j. Byron Olson. president of
the Edgemoor Citizens Associa-
ton. called the proposed amend
ment a hunting license bill''
which would give the businessman
the right to invade residential
areas. He said there is plenty OF
space available within the COM
mercial area, but that the Park
ing Lot Committee does not choose
to pay the high prices asked
DR.. Olson and practically all OF
his citizen representation refused
to concede that there is need fol
further public parking facilities
500 Cars Handled Now.
A. H. Bowls, chairman of the
Parking Lot Committee. said there
lis need for public parking facilities
for 1000 cars In addition to the
facilities for 500 cars now fur
nished by individual business
houses. Space for $50 cars will be
available when three recently-pur-
chased lots are placed in use.
Mrs. Werner said citizens were
closing their eyes to the fact that
Bethesda is rapidly becoming q
large city because Of Federal in
stallations. She said 1t Is the duty
of the County Council to face this
problem which it had no hand in
creating. Provision for public
parking lots must be made, she
pointed out, to help take care Of
the traffic situation.
The council took the matter
under consideration.
