Arlington Rent Control
Due for 2-Day Return

Federal rent control will be re-
imposed in Arlington Monday but
will die again the next day unless
the ONCE of Rent Sterilization
declares the county critical hous-
ing area and extends controls for
another nine months.
Rent Director James McInnes
Henderson announced yesterday
that a request Of the Arlington
County Board for re-establishment
Of controls was granted. The order
covers only a two-day period be-
cause the rent control act provides
for the end of controls on Septem-
ber 80 unless particular areas are
declared in the critical housing
category and request their extern
sion.
Arlington was removed from the
controlled rent category by action
Of the Virginia General Assembly
in 1850. Mr.. Henderson said a
law passed by Congfeeessss-this year
permits his Office to extend con-
trolls in communities where rent
control is operative on September
80 for a seven-month period. Ar
lington officials asked for the ex-
tension at the same time they re-
quested reimposition of controls.
Mr.. Henderson's order yesterday
limits rent to those charged Au-
gust /, 1852. He said this does not
rule out individual adjustments.
A local rent advisory board for the
county will be established to con-
troll rents and provide eviction
protection.

|Pepco Calls on County
10 Reconsider Denial
|0f New Subsfation

Potomac Electric Power Co. has
asked the Montgomery County
Board Of Zoning Appeals to re-
consider its vote against erection
OF a. transformer substation at
Westmoreland Circle, just over the
District line at Brookmont.
Board Chairman Milton A..
Smith said Pepco is basing it's re-
quest on a revised plan for the
station they want to put up at
Massachusetts, and Western ave-
nues.
In its previous application, the
company had proposed to erect a
residential-type building. but with
an exposed steel structure in the
rear for switching equipment for
the high-voltage line. The board,
in denying the first application
after a hearing August 18, said
the steel structure would be un-
slightly.
Dwelling Type Structure.
The company now proposes to
house all its equipment in a dwell
ing-type building.
In its new application, Pepco
says that without that trans
former substation it will be neces-
Sary to put up some 45-foot poles
on the circle to carry overhead
lines. The area is presently suf-
fering from subnorrnal and irreg-
ular voltage because of the in
creased use Of electricity there, the
company maintains.
"The appearance Of Westmore-
land Circle would suffer far more
from the presence of such poles,
laden with high-voltage equip
ment, than it would from the pres
ence Of the dignifled, residential
type building which the company
now seeks to erect" Pepco's appli-
cation states.
Hold Only Site Available.
Under the Montgomery coming
ordinance, the board Of appeals
may permit a public utility struc-
ture in a residential district, when
necessary and convenient for the
rendition Of the utility service.
Pepco claims that it must have a
new network substation within a
quarter of a mile of the circle, and
the property it has there is the
only available site it has been able
to find.
Westmoreland Hills residents op-
posed the first application at the
hearing along with spokesrnen for
the Westmoreland Congregational
Church, on the opposite side of
Massachusetts, avenue from the
Pepco site. The board of appeals
has the new request under advise
ment. If it agrees to reconsider,
another public hearing will be
scheduled.
