Gaithersburg Ordinance
Called Restrictive in
TOwn-DOsh Litigation

Gaithersburg's year-old ordi-
nance which restricts the keeping
of livestock within town limits
came before the Circuit Court late
last week when Judge Stedman
Prescott heard arguments in con-
nection with a suit filed by the
town against William o. Dosh.
The towns suit against Mr..
Dosh contends he keeps a number
of horses and cows on his property
which is located near the Gathers
burg Elementary School. 1t fur
Their alleges the Dosh property is a
source of rats, flies and nauseous
odors because of livestock kept on
the premises.
Under the ordinance, enacted by
the town in January of last year,
no livestock may be kept on prop
erty of less than two acres and
only two animals on property of
more than two acres.
In an answer TO the towns in
junction suit, Mr.. Dosh, through
his attorney Alger Y. Barbee, at
tackled the validity of the ordi-
nance and said the town did not
have authority to enact the ordi-
nance. In addition, he claimed if
the town does have authority, the
provisions of the ordinance are
too restrictive.
Judge Prescott has called for
additional briefs in the case which
are to be submitted this week.

Stevenson Quote

1t is believed appropriate and neceS-
sary to offer my humble apology to your
readers, generally, and to the corre-
spondent who signed Yours for Facts"
particularly, for my misquotation of
Gov. Stevenson relative to his reference
to President-elect Eisenhower as Gods
instrument of peace"
Yours for Facts" should be interested
in knowing that the misquotation did
not come from Gov. Stevenson's elec-
tion-eve speech, but rather from his
congratulatory message to President
elect Eisenhower.
More Importantly, your readers, in
general. should be informed that the
facts were not grossly misrepresented,"
but were incorrectly reported from "TV-
ear" memory. The intent of such re-
porting is clearly evidenced by the words
OF Gov. Stevenson's telegram: THE
people have made their choice and
congratulate you. That you may be the
servant and the guardian of peace and
make the day of trouble dawn of hope
is my earnest prayer. Best wishes, Adlai
Stevenson" Evening Star, November S,
1852.
Many will agree that the foregoing
serves to illustrate the destructive effect
OF negative inclination and the con-
structive result of positive evaluation.
Negative thinking can lead to hate; posi-
tive thinking is a prerequisite for love,
which gives meaning to such words as
faith, hope, and peace.

A Promising Beginning

The extraordinarily well-attended meeting
OF representative Washington citizens at the
District Building yesterday afternoon repre-
Sented promising beginning on what is to be
one of the most important undertakings ever
to face the citizens of this community. The
purpose OF the meeting was to organize a new
citizens committee to work for an essential
program of public works in Washington and
sound financing plan to support it.
Commissioner Donohue, opening the meeting
described the nature of this undertaking. There
is large accumulation of unmet needS-in the
form OF adequate water supply and distribution
system, adequate sewage system, streets, high
ways and bridees adequate to meet the increas-
Ing traffic load resulting from growth of the
Metropolitan Area. and necessary school addi-
tlons and provision of other municipal institu-
tlons. Unless these needs are supplied, danger
Gus deterioration in public facilities threatens
the future development of this city
Preliminary work has been completed by the
Addison Committee of twenty EIGHT citizens
which earlier this year reviewed the nature and
the Importance of the needed public works, and
proposed method of financing construction
The committee to be formed as the result of
yesterdays meeting will assume the task of
1amll1arlzlng Congress with existing conditions
ana perSuadlng 1t to adopt the necessary legiS-
lat1on John A. Reilly, the chairman of this
committee described its chief mission as one of
convincing Congress of it's tangible obligation
to the American Capital. Success in that project
Will depend upon the support not only of Wash
1ngtonlanS. but of the voting citizens of the
Metropolitan Area-whose interests are int-
mately invoved-and Americans everywhere who
take pride in the Nations City
The history of Washington supplies many
past examples of the effective work in this city's
past development, accomplished by Washing
tonans. But the fine teamwork between the
Commissioners and the citizens that has gone
into preparations for this next effort holds
unusual promise. 7es~@4 I'D
Those in charge of forming the new COM
mittee could we'll consider the establishment of
some subcommittee which would provide forum
for discussion of the details of the public works
plan. There is, very naturally, some disagree
ment over such details. No one has claimed
they are perfect. But it will be helpful if some
opportunity is provided for their public discus
sion as a method of resolving any substantial
disagreementS before the plan as whole is
presented to Congress. united effort by Wash
1ngtonianS to apply fundamental principles on
which there can be little disagreement will be
more impressive than divisive argument over
details. For should such argument overshadow
the broad detectives represented in the public
works program, Congress is very apt to advise
the citizens to agree among themselves before
asking Congress to agree to anything.

time OF year, foreshadows an increase in traffic
deaths and injuries.
There is another side to this picture, how
ever, which cannot correctly be described as
alarming. Intoxicated and speeding drivers are
a menace, not only to themselves, but to every
one else who uses the streets. They have no
right to drive and they ought to be forbidden to
drive until they come to their senses. In this
respect the increase in license revocations and
suspensions is encouraging. For a rise in the
number of dangerous drivers barred from the
streets is indicative of vigorous law enforcement
And it is only through this kind of law enforce
ment that the streets can be made safe for people
who drive and walk safely.
