Cart Before the Horse

We quite agree with County Councilman Louis Ora
vele in his dstase for having appointed board in po-
son to dictate to the elected representatives of the people
If County Attorney Macdonalds ruling is correct and
the charter prevents the Council from responding the
wishes of the people of the county in providing efficient
and conened police force then is time that the charter
be changed and the rights of the people be reasserted
There is little doubt that the citizens of this county
have made known that they desire competent police force
that is paid decenty and treated like human beings Fail
ure to provide such police force surely prelude to the
kind of scandals and nefcency that have beset other
munities.
Montgomery County has had reason to be proud of it's
police department and the people of this county wish
tinue to have reason to be proud
The county personnel board apparently stays up nights
figuring out ways to ruin the morale of the policemen
addition to refusing to approve decent wage scale the
board is attempting to change the rules in the middle
of the game
The personnel board proposes to change the retire
men laws that county policemen will not be enabled to
rre after 25 years of service at present number
the older have remained the force in spite of the
low wages and increasingly difficult working conditions be-
they have been able to that in few years
they will be eligible to retire.
These have served long years with the understand
ing that they retire after % years of service They
have paid their retirement money into fund that is
of the few in the country where does not get his
money back when he resigns is dismissed.
In addition the board also has announced change in
the method of promotions which easily might make it pos
sbe for rookie with recent schooling advantage
to advance seasoned veterans who have every right
expect the rules to continue the same
If the personnel board doesn't wish to listen to the
voice of the people to treat county employees properly it
as high time that the members resign and allow appointment
of reasonable members who concerned with
ing good policing than in proving abstract personnel rules
that the board apparently doesn't understand too well itself
Either the County Council should itself as the
governing body of the county institute change in the
charter to remove the right of small board to hamsring
the will of the people.

APPLY FOR LICENSES
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles,
Thomas B. r. Mudd, wishes to adj
wise owners of motor vehicles that
the Department is ready to prepare
the applications for new license
plates. and therefore urges that
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1953-12-10

to the remainder of the lots a re-
tail customer-g generating influence
that should, based upon experience
elsewhere, double the present value
of the remaining portions of the
lots lying between the parking lot
and Montgomery Avenue. The COM
mittee is fully aware that some
of the property owners may resist
the acquisition by the town, for
parking purposes, of what they
now consider the rear portion of
their lots, but it was the unani-
nous opinion of the committee that
it is so essential that this property
be acquired now, while it is avail
able for parking purposes, that
condemnation is justified.
The third lot recommended by
the committee for acquisition by
the. town is the Beauchamp proper
ty near the intersection of Rock
vile Pike and Viers Mill Road.
This site was given the lowest
priority for the reason that the
committee did not feel that there
is a presently-existing need for
public parking facilities at this
point, but that in the future it
will be required, and therefore,
should be considered at this time.
The acquisition of public park
ing lots by municipal govern
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1953-12-10

AS announced on December 8 the
next twelve weeks of this Column
will be devoted to a point-by-point
discussion of the Rockville Board
Of Trade program for 1854. This
12-point program was announced
at the Annual Meeting of the mem
bers of the Rockville Board of
Trade on Wednesday, November II.
A primary objective of the
Board of Trade program in 1854
is continuing campaign already
launched to secure adequate park
ing areas in the business district of
Rockville for shoppers and others
doing business with Rockville
merchants and businessmen. Some
months ago the Planning and Traf-
fic Committee of the Board of
Trade, recognizing the need for
adequate parking facilities in Rock
vile, appointed a subcommittee on
parking. James R. Miller, chairman
of the parent committee, named
James A. Buchanan, j. Vinson
Peter, John C. Smith, and DR..
Leonard Kapiloff to the sub-com-
mittee, with Mr.. Buchanan serving
as chairman.
After a detailed study of traffic
concentration and areas suitable
for public parking lots the COM
mittee, in November, made it's re-
port, which was presented to the
directors of the Board of Trade.
The directors voted to place this
study in the hands of the Mayor
and Council of Rockville with the
proposal that serious consideration
be given to it.
The Board of Trade indicated it's
desire to assist the town of Rock
vile in every way within its capa-
bilities in the furtherance of the
development of new business and
the retention of old businesses,
both being equally important. 1t
pointed out that the establishment
of new business areas in direct
competition with the older areas
will result In inevitable degenera-
ton of the old unless steps are
taken now to protect against this.
The study made by the parking
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1953-12-10

subcommittee of the Board of
Trade indicated that two or three
additional parking lots in the cen
trail area of Rockville would mark
eddy alleviate the present traffic
congestion and would tend to pro-
mote shopping in Rockville. Sites
considered by the subcommittee
were, by the process of elimination,
reduced to three, two of which are
urgently needed to meet present
demands and the third was recon-
mended to meet future needs.
1t is the opinion of the sub-com-
mittee that the town should i'm
mediately purchase the property
located on the north side of East
Montgomery Avenue now occupied
by Bill Dee's used car lot. This
property extends from East Mont
gomery Avenue to Commerce Lane.
Adjoining the Commerce Lane end
of the property on the west side
is another parcel which should be
acquired as an integral part of the
parking lot site, giving it an az"
shape. These two properties to-
gether total approximately $4,000
square feet and would accommo-
date 80-85 vehicles. Acquisition of
this lot was given first priority in
the report of the committee.
The lot afforded second priority
by the committee presents a some
what more difficult problem for
the Mayor and Council, and the
following recommendation is not
made lightly or without full and
thorough consideration by both the
parking lot subcommittee and the
Planning and Traffic committee of
the Rockville Board of Trade. The
lots facing the southerly side of
East Montgomery Avenue between
Perry and Monroe Streets, with
lew exceptions, extend through to
jefferson Street. The rear of these
lots is undeveloped at this time.
Should the rear 125 feet of these
lots, extending from the Fire De-
partment lot on the west to some
place in the vicinity of Lees Res
taurant, be devoted to parking lot
purposes, it would make available
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1953-12-10

ment has become an accepted prac-
tice in Montgomery County and
elsewhere in the greater Washing
ton area. In practically every case
the lots are financed by the i'm
position of a tax upon the business
area of the community, which,
when necessary, is supplemented
by a tax on the general assessable
base. The accepted maximum spe-
cial tax is considered to be 40
cents per $4,000 on developed
property and 20-cents per $4,000
on undeveloped property, with
credit being given to property own
ers against this special tax in cas-
es where the property owners pro-
vide parking for the public in suf>u
fcient quantity to meet the stand
ards set by the respective munich
palities.
The Rockville Board of Trade
believes that although there may
be some initial opposition to the
establishment of such procedures
in the Rockville area, this opposi-
ton would quickly disappear, as
it did in Silver Spring, Wheaton,
Montgomery Hills and Bethesda,
where similar parking projects
have been instituted by the County
government.

Better Jail Needed

1t would that Sheriff Lawrensons charges anent
the county Jail which brought such bitter determinations
his head from the County Council been justified by
report of the County Grand Jury.
Certainly it is disgrace to a county like Montgomery
County that such conditions exist in the county jail and
steps should be taken at to remedy the situation
Adequate provision for separating young offenders from
hardened criminals and for caring for insane persons
necessary The Council has been aerted to the need
and the people of the county expect action that will
this blot from the county escutcheon.
Apparently Jaer Young is doing the best he with
facilities at hand since the Grand Jury pointed out that the
Jail is reasonably clean and kept in good shape the
conditions permit.
Regardless of whether the sheriff or the county man.
ager operates the JAIL it should be maintained in such man.
that at least the locks the doors are not in such
don that they be operated with any opener hair
pin.
