Because of this. she said, people
found themselves living on muC

Police Station
Is Indorsed for
GIennlont Area
Federation Bucks
Move for Expanding
Montgomery Force

Establishment of a fourth po-
lice station in Montgomery
County in the Glenmont area on
Georgia avenue is recommended
by the County Civic Federation.
The proposed station would
reduce the limits of the 375-
|square-mile area of the present
|up-county police district now
served from Rockville, the fedora
ton was told last night. The new
station would serve the rapidly
growing business district of
Wheaton, Viers Mill Village, Ken
slngton and their nearby resi-
Dental areas.
Mrs. Rose Poll. Safety Com
mittee chairman, said Police
Chief Charles Orem is making a
budget request for the new sta.
ton and 20 additional police to
man it. The cost is approximated
at 100000.
Further expansion of either
equipment or personnel at the
three present stations at Bethes-
da. Silver Spring and Rockville.
Is impossible because physical
facilities are already taxed be-
yond their capacity, Mrs. Poll said.
The Silver Spring station now
serves a 80-square-mile area, Mrs.
Poll said, and has 56 policemen
Tor a population of 10000.
Dog Resolution Withdrawn.
The federation debated for two
hours the merits of a resolution
asking the County Council for leg
lslatlon requiring dog owners to
keep their pets on their own
property or on a leash. The reso-
luton was finally withdrawn by
It's sponsor, Cecil A. Eby of the
East Bethesda Citizens Associa-
ton.
Mr.. Eby said that 361 dogs
were picked up in April by county
dog catchers and taken to the
animal shelter. Of these only SIS
were claimed and 81 adopted.
More than 100 of those destroyed
were diseased, he said.
Opponents claimed the county
already has adequate laws to
control the dog situation, but does
not enforce them.
Other Action Taken.
In other actions the federation:
l. Approved a recent recon-
mendation of the Montgomery
County Housing Authority look
ing for the correction of housing
facilities for Negro families.
2. Named a Nominating Com
mlttee for a slate of officers for
election in June. Headed by
Herbert N. Eaton. the committee
consists Of Walter McClenon,
Washington I. Cleveland, Claude
Engle, Harold Morris, w. B. Horne
and Brig. Gen. F. w. Browne.
3. Voted to hold a special meet
ing May % at 8 pm. in the Bethes-
da County Building to consider

Tonight on zoning for
.S25Mi|Iion Apartment

The Arlington County Board will
be requested tonight to rezone a
residential area between Spout
Run Parkway and the Potomac
River for a $25 million apartment
development.
The case is one Of 28 rezoning
applications to be presented to the
board. Because of the large num-
Der OF applications, the apartment
request may be delayed until to-
morrow night.
The board will meet at so'clock
in the Circuit Courtroom of the

The apartment application is
for q 22-acre tract owned by DR.
Ernest S. Hendy, who lives on the
property at 2411 North Twenty
fourth street.
Five 8-Story Buildings.
DIR. Hendry. in his application
said he plans a super de luxe resi-
Dental apartment project, similar
to Alden Park Manor in Phila-
delphia. The project would con-
sist of five 8-story buildings, with
underground parking and a SWIM
ming pool.
On the roof would be sun areas
and a lounge, partially inclosed
in glass. rs
There would he no commercial
facilities on the property, the ap-
plication said. and the buildings
would be placed so as not to affect
the skyline from the District OF
Maryland side of the river.
DR.. Hendry estimated the prof.
ect. which would be known as
Fort Smith Apartments, would
bring into the county about $40O,-
600 q year in real estate taxes

Council Members Hit
slim Attendance at
Suburban Tax HEARING

Grave concern over apathy of
county residents even in matters
hitting at their pocketbooks was
voiced last night by members of
the Montgomery County Council.
Only four residents turned out
for public hearings on bills intro
duced on May l at the opening OF
the 1852 legislative sessions.
One of the bills, No. z, would
cost a number Of residents an
additional Is cents per 500 as
sessed property valuation. Despite
the proposal to increase the tax
no one appeared to speak for OF
against the bill.
The bill would extend limits OF
the suburban district to include q
number Of present and planned
subdivisions north of the Viers
Mill road. It also would include
the Halpine section near Rock
willie.
| Map Prepared.
Suburban district residents pay
the additional tax for street light
ling. cleaning and name signs and
for tree-planting and mainte-
nance.
James Buchanan of the Depart
ment of Public Works said the
expansion map had been drawn
up at request of County MANAGER
Irving G. McNayr.
Under questioning, Mr.. Buchan-
an said he did not know the total
area involved in the expansion. He
said he did not know the number
OF taxpayers or the miles of street
involved. -
| Councilwoman Stella B. Werner
said the county is not in q position
to give the services to the new
|area.
Some Of the people would be
paying the tax without getting a
thing for it." she added.
Another Hearing Ordered.
The council ordered another
hearing on the bill.
Representatives Of the County
Council of Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations, the American Associa-
|tion of University Women and the
County League of Women Voters
last night supported resolution No.
l removing the $4,000 limit on
the county managers salary.
The three spokesman agreed the
limit OF the county charter is "a
violation of good government
practice"
Carroll Fentress, PTA spokes-
man. however. pointed out the
limitation had been put in the
charter as an assurance to voters
at the time of its adoption.
Councilman Grover Walker
warned that the ceiling had been
Ia big argument for the charter.
He added he did not favor remov-
ing the ceiling.
MIR. Fentress and Mrs. Eliza
beth Oswald Of the AAUW said
they also indirectly favored the
resolution so that the county su-
lperintendent of schools salary
could be increased.
Vote i'm November.
Enthusiasm for the resolution
stimulated the council into order
ling another resolution drawn to
remove the $500 limitation on sal
aries paid members Of the Per-
sonnel Board.
If the resolutions are passed
this month. residents will vote on
them at the November general
ELECTION.
Two other bills and a second
resolution were up for hearings
last night. No one appeared to
discuss the measures.
