New Cemeteries
Applications Go
To County Council

Two new cemeteries may be de-
veloped in the county soon, if APP
plications pending before the coun-
ty council are approved. The pro-
posed sites are located between
Georgia Avenue and Layhill Road
on Bel Pre- Road.
Permission for another cemetery,
to be built on the Wilkins estate
on Rockville Pike was granted by
the council last November, over
the bitter objections of citizens in
public hearing.
One of the new cemeteries would
be for Catholics by the New Mount
Olivet Cemetery Co. on a 211-acre
tract bordering on Georgia Avenue.
A public hearing was held on this
petition last April, but the council
has not yet taken action on the re-
quest. There is now no Catholic
cemetery in the county.
Permission to build another
cemetery abutting the New Mount
Olivet tract was asked Tuesday by
H. Glenn Garvin, real estate dealer
of 34O1 East-West highway.
Garvin's tract is located about
one-half mile west of Georgia Ave
nue., with about LAO foot front
age on the south side of Bel Pre-
Road.
Originally intended for home
construction, the tract could not
be so developed for a number of
years, Garvin told the council, be-
cause of the lack of sewer and
water facilities in the area.
Public hearing on the application
will be held at 8 PM, August T.,
at the Silver Spring Liquor Dis
pensary.

County to Ask For
81 Million State
Loan for Schools

MONTGOMERY county will apply
for $4.203,000 in state loan money
for school construction, the COUNCIL
decided Tuesday.
The action came on the recon-
mendation Of County Manager Irv-
ing G. McNayr, in a reversal of
his stand last year against asking
for state loan funds.
McNayr's opposition last year
was based on the fact that the
loan would have to be repaid in
IL years, while regular county
bond issues can be retired over q
longer period.
But County Finance Officer Alex
X. Hancock pointed out Tuesday
that the state loans are available
at only LIS per cent interest, while
regular county bonds call for 81
per cent.
If approved, the first interest
payment on the loan will fall due
in October, 1868. First payment
on the principal will be due in
October, 1866.
The loan would bring to a total
Of $8.5 million the amount Of state
funds borrowed to date by the
county. The new loan will help
meet the SO million appropriation
for county school construction this
fiscal year.
In other action Tuesday, the
council approved the appointment
of an advisory committee on
school construction to study the
feasibility Of Standardization of
classroom construction throughout
the county.
Based on a proposal a number
Of weeks ago by Councilman George
Nesbitt, who called for standard
ization in the interest Of economy,
the establishment Of the committee
was approved last week by School
Superintendent Edwin Broome.
The group will study construc-
ton methods, designs, materials,
sites and facilities.

Citizens
Ask New
Charter
Pay for Mayor and
Council Urged in
Recent Resolution

The Rockville Civic Association
this week called on the Mayor and
Council to draw up a new charter
for Rockville to replace "the ac-
emulation of piecemeal statutes
constituting the present town
authority"
The group said action to this end
was recommended by the Univer-
sity of Maryland in its 1860 survey
of the town government and that
1t new charter is consistent with
the recently adopted Legislative
program of the Maryland Munich
pal League.
At the same time, the Civic As
ISOLATION said Legislation should be
requested which would establish
salaries for the elected town Of
ficers. TT is submitted" the
group said, that the Mayor and
Council need not feel reluctant to
propose such action, since the
mounting responsibilities of the
elected town officials have made
some payment to these officials
long overdue"
A survey of town opinion con-
Quoted two years. ago by the As
sociation showed that majority
sentiment of those polled favored
some monetary payment to elected
officials. The group said that
sentiment in favor of paying town
officials has grown generally since
that time and that it is the opinion
of the Civic Association that such
payment be a specific amount per
meeting with an annual maximum.
The Civic Associations recon-
mendations have been sent to the
Mayor and Council in the form Of
a resolution passed at a recent
meeting.
New officers elected to head the
group are Everett Woodward, pre-
sident; William Lodder, vice pre-
sident; Alex Greene, treasurer;
Betty Anne Connolly. recording
secretary and Ralph Williams, cor
responding secretary.

two years of study by the commits

residing in the affected area, will
now be submitted to the County
Council with the Commissions re-
commentator that they be enacted

Immediately preceding the I'M
animous vote for adoption there

the requirement that subdivisions
post bonds to guarantee the i'm
provements in their subdivisions.
