Fire Engine
Speed Ban
Contemplated

County Safety Director Arthur
E. Miller has been directed by
the County Council to discuss with
Fire Departments several COM
plants that fire apparatus are u.s.
ing unreasonable and excessive"
speeds through some communities.
The Councils directive was re-
vealed Tuesday when the minutes
of a secret session March "a were
released. The Council, according
to the minutes, is "gravely con-
cerned" with reports of emergency
vehicles speeding through con-
gested areas.
The Council action was reported
to be an outgrowth of Maryland
Civil Defense Drill March 81 when
county fire departments were timed
to see how long it took for them to
get to Baltimore.
Several residents of , Sandy
Spring and other communities on
route 1913, back road to Balti-
more, complained that the appar-
atus passed through the areas
at high speeds" shortly after the
noon hour when Saturday traffic
is usually heavy.
The Council has several times
criticised emergency vehicles for
not using proper discretion"
The minutes of another secret
session also revealed that on
March 81, the Council directed
County Attorney David Macdonald
to cease his efforts to obtain legis-
lation at Annapolis to curb the
number and authority of unpaid
deputy sheriffs in the county. No
explanation was given for the
Councils change of heart in it's
fight with Sheriff Charles Lawren-
son.
Last Tuesdays meeting also was
by several short sessions
behind closed doors. Scheduled for
discussion at these times were fire
matters, legislation at
Annapolis in which the county is
interested, and general legislation.

sional and business men, as well
as educators. Their main object is
to promote the Broome Education
al Project, a fund to be used for
the publication Of DR.. Broome's
philosophy on the needs and de-
velopment Of children.
DR.. Broome, modest soft-spok-
en- man, has consistently rejected
all schemes to present him with
any personal gift. However, citi-
zens finally persuaded him that he
would be doing children and teach
ers a service if his ideas of edu-
cation could be published for use
by others.

Fire House
Approval
In Doubt
County Council Has
Difficulty Finding
LOOphOle in Own
Fire Site Decision

Immediate County Council APP
proval of a proposal for a new
Rockville Volunteer Fire Depart
ment Building on the Carnival
grounds" is in doubt today follow
ing second public hearing on the
plan Tuesday.
The Council, seemingly willing"
to approve the new building, is
finding it difficult to circumvent
its ruling two weeks ago that it
could not, under a little-known
1885 law, ratify fire department
site once purchased without Coun-
Gil approval.
1t was by this ruling of three
Councilmen, two of them attorn-
eys, that the Council by 4-3 vote
denied the Conduit Road Fire
Board permission to use a site
on Massachusetts, Avenue, Ex-
tended.
Harold Hammond, acting as
Council president for the hearing,
said the second hearing was held
so that it could be shown that no
additional sites would be as sat
isfactory. There were no objec-
tons voiced at the meeting.
David Belts, attorney for the
Rockville Fire Board, admitted
that the site on Route 240, just
south of the business district, was
purchased in 1912 without Council
approval. He said it was bought as
a site for the Embarrassing annual
carnival. -.
The law-ignored until brought
up by opponents Of the Conduit
Road site-makes null and void
purchases of land by fire depart
ments without prior Council APP
prevail and prohibits" depart
ment violating the act from re-
ceiving county tax funds.
The four Council members who
succeeded in killing the Massachu-
3ettes Avenue site went against a
ruling of County Attorney David
Macdonald that the Council could
ratify the site after the purchase
if a public hearing was held. They
also ignored the approvals of top
county department heads and State
fire officials.
Councimen Louis A. Gravelle
and J. Louis Monarch, the attor-
ney-Council members, tried unsuc-
cessfully Tuesday to have Mac
donald rule that this case was diff
ferent since it was conversion.
Macdonald said they could approve
the Rockville site, as he thought
they could have approved the Com
duit Road site, but noted that the
law said simply purchases" by
Fire Departments.
Council President George F.
Ncsbitt, one of the minority who
voted in favor of the Conduit Road
site, said after the hearing that
the Council will amend the law
during the May legislative ses-
sion. The Rockville department
may have to wait until after the

E. Brooke Lee
Hits County
Expenditures

The new County office building
in Rockville is costing too much
and taking too long to build, Col.
E. Brooke Lee, Democratic elder
statesman, charged in an address
Lefore the Women's Democratic
Club of Silver Spring Monday
night in Jesup Blair Community
House. ---a . -
He criticized the County Council
for closing the county buildings in
Silver Spring and Bethesda.
The new county building will
cost $3,000,000 and take three
years to build, Col Lee said. The
same size building was built for
$1,000,000 in eight months in Sill
yer Spring for private owners, he
said.
The speaker also took the
Council to task for failing to sup
port hospital for Silver Spring,
pointing out that very few COM
munities of 10000 population do
not have a hospital.
Col. Lee charged that houses in
Montgomery County are being as
sessed higher than anywhere else
in Maryland and that the County
Council is attempting to deceive
the county residents by describing
county assessors as State officials.
He pointed out that county as
SCISSORS are able to obtain State
retirement only as county en-
ployes.
Col. Lee further declared:
THE County Council has not
been able to produce the County
services or improvements within
expenditure limits that appear
efficient, economical, or reasonable.
"The total expenditures and the
total bonds have greatly exceeded
the 1945 totals Of the last Demo
cratic County administration plus
the population increase and cost
of living increase of the past ten
years which together total 12G
percent. Yet the County bond
issues since 1915 have increased
275 percent That is, all County
bonds totalled $9,725,0O0 in 1045
and in 1862 County bond issues
have reached the alarming total
Of $3i 100000.
"The increase in the valuation Of
real estate for assessment purposes
is equally ahead of the population
and cost-of-living increases. The
1915 total County assessment

CD Fund
Chances
Are Slim
In County
Council Tells Group
Strong Interest Must
Be Shown to Warrant
More County Money

Montgomery County's Civil De-
Tense program is unlikely to get a
financial shot in the arm this year
unless residents begin to show a
real interest in putting it back in
to operation.
County, Council President George
F. Nesbitt, Tuesday, warned a
delegation headed by George Mi
chaelis, Garrett Park CD director,
that the Council twill have diff
Guilty justifying any more expendi-
lures unless the committee can
show evidence of strong interest
in civil defense"
The committee consisted of rep
resentatives of some 48 organiza-
tons which had sent the delega-
ton to Rockville to urge appoint
ment of a full-time civil defense
director and a citizens advisory
committee.
The committee also asked that
the director have control of CD
funds and authority to coordinate
disaster operations in the county.
Another request was for estab-
llshment of a central control sta
ton and an adequate system of
AFRAID alarms.
Mr.. Michaelis conceded there
was a great deal of apathy on the
part of county residents but point
ed with pride to his own organiza-
ton as an example of what could
be done.
Mrs. George Taylor, another
member of the delegation, laid
much of the blame for the apathy
on the Council. She charged they
had never come forward with
direct statement approving civil
defense operations.
Mr.. Nesbitt disagreed and said
the Councilmen all favored a pro-
gram but were discouraged at
their two previous attempts to es-
tablish it.
At present the Council has no
program other than one on paper
supposedly administered by Public
Safety Director Arthur E. Miller.
Two full-time paid directors of
civil defense have left the post
disillusioned by their failure to
produce an active organization.
Since the first of the year when
Col. Robert B. Ransom left the
post, the Council has not even
maintained it's CD office in Silver
Spring.
Mrs. Taylor said that unless the
Council comes up with a state
ment of belief in the CD programs
necessity, appointment of another
director will end in the same fail
ure.
Mr.. Nesbitt replied that the
Council would rather have the
committee come up with a pro-
posed program which not only
handled the planning aspects of
civil defense but also provided a
basis for execution.
Councilman Harold Hammond
returned to the same charge hurl-
ed before when the Council de-
plored the failure of the county's
