On Supplemental Fund
For Wider Bridge

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil next Tuesday will consider an
action that one Council member
warned might set a dangerous
precedent of allowing the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission to f1aunt the county road
code. ..
The Council yesterday author
lied preparation of resolution
to provide not more than $4,000
to supplement the amount being
spent by the sanitary commission

bridge over the Patuxent River as
part of the Rocky Gorge dam

County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr, urging the supplemental
appropriation, said the sanitary
commission plans to build the
bridge "a feet wide, which is two
feet narrower than the minimum
provided in the county road code
He said the commission had re-
jected the county's request to
widen the span another two feet
but would do so If the county
paid the bill.
Mr.. McNayr said he did not
think it would be practical for
the Council to challenge the COM
mission, even though County At
torney David Macdonald gave the
opinion that the Council could.
if it chose. enjoin the commits
sion for ignoring the code.
Mrs. Werner Concerned.
Other Council members sug-
gested the commission might drop
the bridge plan altogether if the
Council took the matter to court.
Councilwoman Stella B. Werner,
however. expressed concern that
approval of the resolution would
set a dangerous precedent" She
indicated she will oppose it next

the puzzling disappearance of an
attractive housewife. but relatives
and police were losing hope for

horn. but neither was positive
piece of evidence.
Police were sitting a report that
two young boys had found a
broken string of six-strand pearls
near the area where the pocket
book was discovered.

have been murdered.
Mrs. Virginia Farrin, sister Of
Mrs. Meister, declared: "The FAM

killed. She never disappeared be-
