Proposed
To Push Plans
For New City
Prince Georges
Businessmen Act
To Speed Project

The Prince Georges Chamber
of Commerce has asked the
county's delegation to the Mary
land General Assembly to name
q committee to work out details
of implementing the chambers
Maryland City proposal.
Chamber officials appeared be-
fore the county legislators last
month to seek support for the
latest renewal of that organi-
zation's plan to consolidate the
urban area Of Prince Georges,
into one large city. The plan,
which dates back to 1927, is re-
ferred to as Maryland City.
The delegation and represen-
tatives of the chamber agreed
last month to hold special
hearing on the Maryland City
proposal. However, no date has
yet been set.
Plan Put in Letter.
The chamber proposal to refer
the idea to a committee came
in letter to the delegation last
week. The delegation had asked
that the businessmen's organi-
zation put its plan in writing,
The committee, as proposed,
would consist Of the present
officers and two past presidents
of the chamber. at least I'VE
representatives from the Mayors
Of the county. representatives Of
county agencies and of the
legislative delegation. represen-
tatives of citizens associations,
and representatives of the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission.
The chamber also proposed
that "a referendum be held in
the area declared urban by
definition of the United States
census" 'M..ts.t
Charter Is Issue.
"This referendum" the letter
stated, would be on the general
question as to whether or not the
people in this area desire to have
a board prepare a charter. under
which the urban area might be
Incorporated into a single city.
or several, If the board so recon-
mended. At this election, the
BOARD will be selected to prepare
charter for submission to the
electorate in the 1854 election"
The letter, under signature Of
Charles E. Callow. president.
suggested that the only restric-
ton which should be placed on
the charter board would be that
no established incorporated area
should be included In the new
city unless a majority Of those
voting in the area approve"

Committee Formed
In Alexandra 10 Fiqht
zoning Rules Change

Formation of a committee in
opposition to proposed changes
in Alexandria's zoning regula-
tions was announced today.
Albert A. Smoot, former city
councilman and a business and
civic leader, is chairman of the
ew committee.
The proposed change will be
voted on in a special election
January 13.
Concerns Vote Majority.
Voters will decide whether
zoning provisions of the charter
should be amended to permit
City Council to override negative
recommendations of the planning
commission by a simple majority
vote. At present, the charter re-
quires a three-fourths vote of
council to alter the planning
commissions recommendations
in such cases.
In announcing formation of
the committee, Mr.. Smoot said
the proposed change "is a slap
at the staple and orderly devel-
opment of Alexandria's master
zoning plan and at the CITY,
manager form of government. !"
'The change would decrease
property values and be an invi-
tation to planning by politics. /"
he said.
=. Members Listed.
Among those listed by Mr..
Smoot as committee members
are Commonwealth's Attorney
Howard w. Smith, jr.; Attorneys
Gardner L. Boothe, Thomas
Moncure and Stanley King, and
leaders in professional, business
and civic organizations of Alex
andria
Mr.. Smoot said the committee
was formed after he had received
scores Of telephone calls from
Alexandria citizens urging con-
certed action to prevent the
change in charter rules.

Purchase Right-0f-W Way.
Another vital part of the i'm
mediate needs program would be
the purchase of a four-lane
right-of-way for the brand-new
roadway from University lane
ard Colesville road to the pro-
posed circumferential. At the
outset, however. a highway only
two lanes wide would be built,
from the lane to Metzerott road.
In a later stage, the remaining
two lanes would be constructed
on this stretch, and the entire
four-lane treatment extended to
the circumferential route. which,
the planners hope, will be under
construction by that time.
Until the circumferential tie
in is achieved, Metzerott road
would be improved eastward to
the Baltimore pike to serve
traffic on the new road.
University lane as it now exists
through the Maryland University
campus, would continue to serve
as a direct connection to the
Baltimore pike.
Initial part of the project
would cost $1.575, 900; the later
construction, $500,000.
