Planning Board Hits !
Iakoma Park Council
For zoning Proposals

Inc 1aKOma fark ClCy NOu1C1l
yesterday was charged with max
ing zoning recommendations that
seemed intended to validate and
legalize violations of the (present)
Zoning ordinance"
The accusations were hurled by
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The commission recently adopted
a coming plan for Takoma Park.
after more than two years of work.
The commissions blistering
statement was an answer to the
city councils charges that the
commission had ignored most of
its recommendations m completing
the zoning map.
Claims Careful Study.
The commission declared it had
given careful consideration to all
Recommendations of the city coun-
Gil. Recommendations were not
adopted where it was felt they
were not based on sound planning
and zoning principles, the COM
mission added.
A number Of the councils rec
concentrations seemed designed to
Ilegalize zoning ordinance viola
tions which had been occurring
over a period of years with the
knowledge. If not the tacit ap-
|proval or acquiescence, of preced-
ing mayors and councils" the
commission charged.
The commission said large areas
of the city are still best adapted
for single-family residential use.
The planners added many of the
councils recommendations would
have threatened the preservation
Of these areas. F.
700 Violations Estimated.
Planning and Takoma Park Of
lf1cials, in the past, have estimated
that there were some TOO viola
tions Of zoning ordinances in the
city. Many of them resulted from
the conversion to apartment
houses of large homes, because OF
their high cost of maintenance.
The planners said they had been
handicapped in preparing the map
because. until 1949, building in
spection and zoning violation de-
lection in Takoma Park were in
the hands Of the city.
During that period, the COM
mission said, numerous violations
occurred, apparently with the
lacquiescence Of the city council. {"
The commission said that, when
the county assumed enforcement
Iof the zoning ordinance. the county
council became aware of the large
number Of violations. After con-
Iferences among the city, county
and planning officials, work on
the zoning plan began. ks
The coming plan adopted last
July 10 by the commission was a
result of study of Residential A
areas within the city that re-
quired Redistribution to apart
ment and multiple family use be-
cause of their urban tcharacter. ii
While the zo1ing plan was being
prepared, the county council with
held enforcement of the zoning
ordinance in the city.
The zoning plan is merely the
commissions recommendations as
to the use Of land In the city. As
such. the plan requires no action
on the county councils part.

Anchorage To Lease Manual Telephone
 Equipment 10 Palmer

Palmer was assured of im- proved manual telephone facilit- ieS Friday night as result of a request made of the Anchorage City Council by Palmer Council men C. A. Sandvik and Lloyd SevernS.
 The Anchorage council agreed to lease to Palmer two positions of its central office equipment that has been in storage since the installation of dial telephone facilities in Anchorage in l949. Severns stated this week that the two positions are relatively new, having been purchased in 1947 and used only two years.
 "They will be a great improve ment over our present facilities" " he said this week, land should ac- commodate at least double the present number of customers"
 The new facilities will permit selective ringing, Severns said, and there are many other featur- es that will improve telephone service. According to Bill Con- nally, manager of the Anchorage Telephone system, the Anchorage equipment is superior to that the Palmer Council was contemplat- ing having sent from the States. Although no rental figure was mentioned, it is believed that the Anchorage Council is generously lending the equipment to Palmer at a nominal figure until dial equipment is available. Said Cit.,' Manager Robert Sharp, "We might as we'll be neighborly and not mercenary."
 Cost of repairs, materials, and installation, will be borne by Pal mer.
 Asked when the new board would be in operation, Council man Severns was unable to say. First of all we've got to get the wires fixed up or the board is going to light up like a Christ mas tree every time it gets wet around here"
 Repair of lines and cables has been keeping Maynard Sands so busy ali this week that he could not be reached for comment on the new equipment.

New Bakery 10 Open Soon in Palmer

After five months of being without local bakery, everyone in the Valley will be glad to hear that a new one will open up soon at the location of the former Shamrock Bakery.
 Leonard Soley, who will be manager of the new bakery, ar rived in Palmer with his wife this week end to look over the equipment which he purchased along with Robert Hoover of the Fairbanks aking Company. Soley has been associated with Hoover for the past year, having come to the Territory with near ly 20 years of experience in the baking business. Soley has one third interest in the local com- pany and Hoover and the Fair banks Banking Company have the remaining tWo-thirds interest.
 The new bakery will be known as the Palmer Baking Company. The retail outlet will be Clara's Variety Store, behind which the bakery is located. A complete line of baked goods is anticipated bread, rolls, pies, cakes, cookies, doughnuts, and friedcakes. The bakery will specialize in wedding cakes and special orders.
 Soley figures that it will take five or six weeks to redecorate the bakery and overhaul the equipment. He will have the Alaska Department of Health sanitarian inspect the premises before opening for business. Four key employees will be brought to Palmer and the other employ ees will be hired locally. The bak- cry manager anticipates a staff of 12 when the establishment is in full swing. There will be delivery service in Palmer and nearby areas.
 Visitors will be welcome to in- spect the new bakery as soon as it is in operation. A special in- vitation to visit the shop will be extended to various organizations in the community.
 MT. and Mrs. Soley are living in a house trailer at the present time, but will live in the Matt Perkins house a little later.

Once again the American Red Cross is calling upon all commun- tues to aid by contributing to the Red Cross in order that the or ganization can carry on.

 A plea for additionl drives has been made by Mir. FridleY. Any who will be able 10 assist in this manner are asked 10 meet ali the United Protestant Church at 9:00 am.
 The Red Cross acts as the chan nel through which millions of Americans fulfill their desire to serve others. Contributions made by individuals make it possible for all to help in the many ser vices offered by the Red Cross,
 Among these are, services to the Armed Forces, services to veterans, the national blood pro- gram, disaster services, safety, nursing, food and nutrition ser vices, the Junior Red Cross, and foreign operations.
