Gap Exists in

He Tells Council

Conduct of an economic base
survey of Montgomery County
similar to that recently made in
Arlington County was recon-
mended yesterday by County
Manager Irving G. McNayr.
Mr.. McNayr told the county
council he will include the cost OF
such a survey in his budget for
the next fiscal year.
The Montgomery County Real
Estate Board, Inc, had previously
urged study be made, Mr.. Nc
Nayr said.
The county manager said that
although two planning commits
sions already are operating in the

ing point on the best use to be
made of land.
Mr.. McNayr told the council
that Arlington County had put up
the $4,000 for the survey made
there by Homer Hoyt Associates.
CuSick Challenges Need.
Patrick j. CuSick, jr., planning
engineer for the Upper Mont

PIoners for Upper Montgomery
Would Guard Agricultural Area

Assessments must not penalize
the farmer as though he were a
potential subdivider or large
scale land developer" Mr.. Kelley
said.
Mr.. Kelley and Planning En-
gineer Patrick j. Cusick, jr., said
the development of non-farmable
and non-farming areas would in
clude Cd transitional zones in the
lower parts of the area; CD al
ready existing rural service CEN
terS such. as Damascus, and (3)
submarginal land not suitable for
agriculture use.
Facilities Lacking.
Mr.. Kelley said the only thing
preventing a great expansion of
development into the upper county
was the lack of sewer and water
facilities.
1T is necessary and vital that
we control and confine location of
homes" Mr.. Cusick added. He
said that when homes intrude, ag-
riculture moves out because as
sessments soar so rapidly.
Mr.. Kelley told the council the
planning commission would hold
no other public hearings on the
proposed subdivision regulations
completely revised during the last
four months.
Mr.. Kelley termed the heated
public hearings held on the orig
mal draft last November "just a
forum for public speeches" He
said the revised regulations would
be submitted to the council late
next month.

The major portion of Upper
Montgomery County will remain
agricultural in nature, if the Up
per Montgomery County Plan
ming Commission has it's way.
Furthermore, land in the pro-
posed agriculture zone would be
assessed on the basis of it's crop
producing capacity, rather than
on it's market value, as it is at
present.
These objectives of the plan
ming commission were included in
a 15-month progress report, made
to the County Council yesterday
by Thomas c. Kelley, chairman
of the commission.
Mr.. Kelley said master plan
with a comprehensive zoning ordi-
nance, was being developed by the
commission.
Meanwhile, protective legisla-
ton to cover the interim period
will include the proposed subdi-
vision regulation which the COM
mission expects to make public
by mid-May.
Temporary Ordinance Weighed.
To augment the regulation, the
commission also is considering a
two-year temporary zoning ordi-
nance which it will submit to the
County Council as soon as posi-
BILE, Mr.. Kelley said.
Mr.. Kelley said the commission
feels it is desirable to preserve the

bility.

Poll Tax Law Covers
Residents in Virginia
Since January, 1851

Persons who moved into Vlr-
ginia after January l, still must
pay the $1.50 poll tax by May 3
in order to vote in the July Is
primary and November election
this year.
That is the effect of an opinion
from State Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond, jr., to State Sen
ator Charles r. Fenwick of Arl-
ington who sponsored a law
passed by the recent General AS
sembly to exempt from poll tax
payments those new residents who
have lived in Virginia for less
than a year.
The new law will take effect
June %. It will apply to persons
moving into Virginia after Janu-
ary l, 1852, with respect to the
1858 elections.
Old Law Prevails.
Mr.. Almond wrote that under
the existing law, persons moving
into the State after January l.,
1851, were assessable for the capi-
tation, or poll tax. Inasmuch as
the new law repeating the old
section does not become effective
until after the deadline for quail
flying to vote this year, the old
law still prevails.
Registration officials had been
acting on this assumption. any
way, and have been requiring new
residents to pay last years tax
before they are certified as quail
fled voters for 1852.
"The opinion does not surprise
me-" Senator Fenwick said. II
wrote the attorney general simply
to get clarif1cation.
Bill Killed in 1850.
IT regret very much that the
law will not apply for this years
elections but this is why we did
not place an emergency clause in
the bill so that it would take effect
prior to June %.
1.-THE same bill was offered at
the 1850 session and was killed.
Therefore, we anticipated a great
deal more opposition than we ac-
tually encountered at the 1852
session and an emergency clause
would have required a four -f1fths
vote of both houses.
Even with an emergency clause
it would still have been question
able as to whether the law would
have applied to the 1852 primary
and election because persons are
assesSable for taxes from the mo-
ment they move into Virginia.
