Sidewalk Assessment
On Georgia Avenue in
Maryland Protested

Property owners abutting wild
ened Georgia avenue between
Wheaton and Glenmont, in Mary
land. have expressed their oppo-
sition to any front-foot benefit
assessment for sidewalks, now be-
ing constructed.
At hearing before the County
Council more than 100 persons,
representing the majority of own
erS along the third section of the
highway improvement, registered
a protest. The assessments are
pending before the Council.
The $139,555 project is part
of the current Georgia avenue
widening project which is being
carried out by the State Roads
Commission. The county has
agreed to finance installation of
sidewalks, curb and gutter, and
grading along the stretch from
Colesville road. Silver Spring, to
Glenmont.
Owners charge that the Council
will set an undesirable precedent
If it charges abutting owners for
any part of the construction costs
They point to the similar Wis
conSin avenue widening project
completed last year in Bethesda
which is presently being paid fol-
by the county from general tax
monies.
Three plans have been offered
for financing the sidewalks prof
ect. The first would make abut-
ting owners pay the full cost OF
the project and has the approval
of the County Civic Federation.
The second would assess ''bene-
fitting" owners for so per cent OF
the costs, the rest to be paid from
general tax monies. This plan is
recommended by County Manager
Irving G. McNayr and the coun-
tvs department Of public works
The third, which is supported
by most of the Georgia avenue
owners, would charge the project
up as a public improvement to be
paid for by the county as whole
The council has taken the pro-
posed assessment project under
adviSement.

Court TO Rule Sept. Is
On Charge Of Bribery
|0f Cheyer|y Police

Trial Magistrate Theodore r.
Miazga Of Hyattsville Police Court
is scheduled to decide September
13 whether two Cheverly CMd.)
town policemen should face grand
jury action on a bribe charge.
The judge deferred a ruling
yesterday after hearing the two
policemen deny they had accepted
Ia $40 bribe from Edward Eugene
MerSon, 20, of Laurel.
The youth was equally emphatic
that he paid the bribe after the
officers came upon him while he
was parked with his girl on a
lonely lane. He said they first
threatened to charge him with
|disorderly conduct and trespassing
on private property.
Commenting that "some one is
being careless with the truth, -
Judge Miazga said he wanted to
give Assistant States Attorney w.
Douglas Pyles time to show that
the charge of bribery is justified.
Defense attorney IgnatiuS Keane
argued the two part-tilne officers,
John Connock and Ernest Allen,
could not be charged with bribery
because the alleged incident took
place outside Cheverly and there
fore was outside their jurisdiction
Mr.. MerSon testified the alleged
offenSe occurred just off Landovel
road about mile east of Cheverly
The youth, who works in Brent
wood Supermarket, quoted Officer
Connock as saying:
II hate to take you in l.. It's
q $27.50 fine"
Later. after he had turned his
car around to follow the Cheverly
police car in accordance with in
structionS. Mr.. Merson testified
Officer Connock came back to his
car again and told him, "Mr
Allen likes Scotch whisky"
do you think $40 will cover it?'
the youth said he asked.
YEAH" was Mr.. Connock's
reply. the youth said.
The girl, Miss Irene Judd, 2l,
Iof Landover Hills, told the same
story.
The two policemen contended
they never left the Cheverly town
limits while they were on duty
from z to II pm. August 81. They
insisted they had never seen Mr..
|Merson and Miss Judd until after
the youth had made the bribery
complaint to Prince Georges
County police.
A defense witness, Ernest R.
Humphrey, 2601 Fifty-Seventh
avenue, Tuxedo, said he saw the
two officers parked in a police
car in the south end of Cheverly
at about the time young Merson
said the bribe was paid.
Both officers are under suspen-
sion. Mr.. Connock, Al, has been
on the Cheverly force for six years.
Mr.. Allen. ~. has been a Cheverly
policeman four wears.
