A plan to forget county lines

up representation on new lines

Lynch called the plan "the best

Mr.. Lynch pointed out tina

"In addition" he said, "the peo.

Virtually all of the opposition
witnesses were asked by Mr.. Gar
rett's attorney if they had ever
been inside the M. and S. Their
negative replies were used by the
lawyer in his contention to the
board that complaints against the
tavern were based on hearsay.

In Maryland | Localities,
Municipal League Told
By J. l. MichoeI
Stor Stoff Correspondent

HAGERSTOWN. Md, Nov. 81
Maryland municipal planning
and zoning is 10 years behind
current needs. in the opinion OF
II. Alvin Pasarew, director of the
State Planning Commission.
mot a community in Maryland
has kept pace with these prob
lems," Mr.. Pasarew told town Of
ficials yesterday at the opening
session of the Maryland Munich
pal Leagues fifth annual conven-
ton.
An unexpected colleague warmly
received by the officials was Naa-
man Jalili, Mayor of Musul, Iraq.
Mayor Jalili. in American as an
observer, will attend all convention
sessions. He came to America at
the invitation of the Federal Gov
Iernment.
Another unlooked-for develop
ment came when last nights pro-
Igrammed speaker reported that he
was unable to leave fogbound
Washington Airport. He is Randy
Assill Hamilton, director of the
District Office of the American
Municipal Association.
AS the principal speaker of the
day, Mr.. Pasarew outlined sugges-
Itions for municipal betterments
after the convention heard Ralph
Van Derwerker of the Federal
Public Health Service discuss gar
bage and trash disposal problems
Another featured speaker was Jack
Markland, Rockville planning en-
Igineer.
Mr.. PaSarew and Mr.. MarklanC
Joined in urging municipalities tt
adopt master plans and zonine
ordinances. Mr.. Pasarew deploreo
the tendency of local planners tc
seek Federal and State help.
Mr. Van Derwerker, comment
ing on home garbage grinders
said this method of disposal in
creases sludge and makes sewage
plant additions necessary. Under
such circumstances. he related
septic tank installations require
so per cent more field lines.
Mr.. Markland observed that
"f1ne, old homes" in the Wash
ington area pose a special prob
lem because zoning rules ban oc-
cupancy by more than one family
One average income family can
not now maintain them, he added
But Mr.. Markland suggested:
Permit two, three or four fam
lily occupancy and your fading
mansions will become the COM
munity's pride"
