Parking Plan
For Wheaton
Is Discussed

Mason A. Butcher, Montgomery
County's Director of Public Works,
listed three parking lot projects
for the Wheaton area which will
come within the 100000 author
lied for public parking in that
neighborhood, when he spoke to
the Wheaton Chamber of Com
merce at its regular meeting Tues
day.
To date, according to Mr.. Butch
er, S164,500 has been expended in
the acquisition Of land for parking.
This was done early in order to
preclude skyrocketing prices at a
later date. Listed by Mr.. Butcher,
in order of their priority are: L.
Improvement of the lot between
Hickerson Drive and College Ave-
nue., land for which has already
been acquired; 2. Acquisition and
improvement of land owned by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission on the north side of
KensingtonWh Wheaton Road, nego-
tiations for which are already I'M
derway; and 3. Improvement of at
least one lot of six now owned
by the County in Block F in Tri-
angle Park.
The section named in item l is
expected to be ready for use by
Thanksgiving. Access streets will
have to be improved and the lot
itself paved.
These three projects were par
ticularly requested of the County
by the Chamber, along with sew
eral others, money for which is
not now available. None of the
lots will have parking meters on
them at this time. Mr.. Butcher
stated that the County's experience
with metered lots in Silver Spring
and Bethesda has fallen short of
expectations. Mr.. Butcher also said
that SO meters along Georgia Ave
nue. in Wheaton are not doing too
well. These meters averaged SIC
per meter per week during the
month of July, as compared with
S1.64 for street meters in Silver
Spring, S1.44 for street meters in
Bethesda, and S1.15 for meters in
Montgomery Hills.
Members of the Chamber near
the intersection of Viers Mill Road
and the Kensington- Wheaton Road
are disturbed by their limited
parking area being taken up by
employees and all-day commuter
parkers. Thomas Oyster, chairman
of the Public Improvements Com
mittee, will contact County author
tiles in an effort to resolve this
problem.
In other business before the
Chamber, Clinton Sisson reported
that between thirty and forty
teen-aged youngsters have turned
out for drill in the Chambers
youth program being currently
held on Wednesday nights at 1880
at Glen Haven School. All children
of teen-age are invited to attend.
The Chamber is also planning a
dance to be Eeld early this fall.
Robert Pendleton and Thomas Oy-
ster will be in charge of arrange
ments.

Police Ask
Council To
Hike Pay
ArmOry Lot Purchase
Brings Business and
Civic Disagreement

Montgomery County's policemen
are paid from $500 to $1,700 a
year less that their counterparts
in the District, the Council was
told Tuesday by the Police Associ-
alton.
Policemen, seeking salary ir-
creases averaging $500 year per
man, appeared before the Council
to make a final plea for a pay
raise. They were recently turned
down by the County personnel
board which ruled it could find no
justification" at this time for an
increase.
Looking at it another way, bet.
Sergt. Kenneth w. Watkins, char
man of the associations pay raise
committee said, an experienced
County police private receives the
same hourly wage as the County
pay it's laborers SLAP an hour.
In pointing to the Districts
high scale, Capt. Carroll V. Mil
Ter, commander of the Silver
Spring substation, pointed out that
a station commander in Montgom-
cry County receives the same pay
as a District private with three
years service. On top of that, Mil
Ter pointed out, the District force
works only five days.
Council members seemed i'm
pressed with what they termed an
excellent" presentation of the
policemen's case, and promised
TO make a thorough study" of the
request. They pointed out, how
ever, that funds for a general
raise now are limited.
The policemen stressed that the
county's police force is at "cross-
roads" now. From Is to 20 expert
enced men resign each year, Miller
said, and must be replaced with
rockies. In addition, many other
officers are forced to work part
time jobs, which means they are
either tired on duty or lose their
home life, buth of which lessons
their value to the department.
In other business Tuesday, ST.
yer Spring civic and business in
terests claShed head-on during &
hearing on proposal that the
County buy the controversial
Armory lot.
Both groups urged the council
to buy the siX-acre tract. But they
disagreed on how it should be
used. The Allied Civic Group urged
the council to buy the lot and use
at least two-thirds of it as the
site of a civic or recreational build
ing. The group said the lot should
be maintained as park until this
building could be erected.
The Silver Spring Board of
Trade, however, urged that the lot
DE purchased as a public parking
lot and the cost assessed against
businessmen. If this is done, ac-
cording to Trade Board President
David Scull, the Hecht Co. will
donate two-acre tract about two
blocks away on Colesville for the
civic center. site.
The Civic group, supporting the
"Evanswood' plan for the civic
center, said it favored the bust
nessmen's offer IAN an alterna-
tive"
The lot is owned by the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, which won
title after a long court fight with
the County, and offered the tract
to the County for 100000, if it
is used for parking.
