Backing the regulations were
the County Civic Federation, the
Twinbrook Citizens Association
the Rockville Community Garden
Club and the Oakland Terrace
Citizens Association. None would
be affected by the regulations.
Also supporting the proposals
was the West Montgomery Citi-
Zens' Association, Which represents

Vernon George. of the Prince
Georges Montgomery Engineering
Society, called the regulations "too
technical"
Opponents we're almost unani-
nous in declaring the Upper
Montgomery Planning Commits
sion should have devoted it's time
to a master coming plan before
drafting subdivision regulations.
w. F. Sickle, president of the
County Farm Bureau, described
the regulations as too stringent
But the Twinbrook group said
the regulations had been relaxed
too much since the stormy hear
ing last November.
The group urged that manda-
tory reservation by subdivision OF
land for school and recreation
sites be restored.
Allan Elliot of the West Mont
gomery Group, said the planning
commission "has watered down
has trimmed away too much. He
said the regulations are neither
drastic nor uncommon.
Regulations Called Drastic.

drastic than those applied to SUBJ
divisions in the suburban area, II
Mr.. Anderson retorted.
He said the Improvement re-
qulrements would up the price OF
75-by- 100-foot lot at least 81, 500
If the cost of land is going to
be increased in such a manner, he
asked. where are the farm laborers
needed in the area going to get the
money for their homes?
The opposition again and again
blasted requirements that subdi-
viders post bond for improvements
before plats are recorded.
Mr.. George said he feared SUBJ
dividers would be forced to tie up
too much money under the bond
requirement.
The planning commission, in a
brief filed with the council, had
made it clear it considered one
method of discouraging excessive
subdividing was to require the in
veStment of a large sum by SUBJ
dividers.
Opponents also attacked pro-
vision of the regulations requiring
that paved macadam roads be laid
in all subdivisions. They noted
that subdividerS in the down.
county area are not required to
install paved roads.

lations. r. Edwin Brown, a
