Firemen will be happy if the
Weather Bureau is correct in it's
prediction of warmer weather
for today.
Fires, always more numerous
in cold weather, kept District

There were nearly 100 blazeS
Thursday and Friday - about
three times the normal number.
Most of them were attributable
to the cold weather, the Fire

little higher yesterday, and the
number of fires dropped.
The fires started principally
from such things as overheated
furnaces. or overheated motors
on gas and oil furnaces.

The Weather Bureau is look
ing for cloudy and warmer
weather today, with a high of
about 48.
Among yesterdays fires was

did not have an official estimate
of the damage, but unofhcially it
was estimated at $15, 1000 or more.
Firemen said the complete stock
of 500 animals and birds was
destroyed. Five f1remen suffered
minor injuries fighting the
flames.
Yesterday afternoon firemen

Planners Will Meet
Jan. 4 10 Discuss
Virginia Highways

Controversial recommendations
for nearby Virginia highway i'm
provements, made by consultants
to the State Legislature, will be
discussed here January 4 at a
special meeting of the Washing
ton Area Regional Highway
Planning Committee.
The meeting has special sig
nificance because the committee
includes highway officials of the
District. Maryland, Virginia and
the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads-all the Jurisdictions in
volved in area road-building.
Committee Chairman s. r.
Harrison, District streets engi-
neer. said he called the meeting
mainly to discuss the Virginia
consultant reports impact on
Potomac River bridge problems. +"
Stand of Bridge Projects.
Generally, the report failed to
indorse bridge projects backed
by the road builders. 1t was
against the E street bridge,
backed by the District; gave only
indirect support to the proposed
Jones Point span, and said traf-
f1c would not warrant construc-
ton of a bridge at Cabin John.
Instead. it suggested two new
bridges, one just up river from
Key Bridge and one just down
river from the Highway Bridge.
The latter proposal is similar
to one toward which the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission has shown support.
The planners have called for
a special meeting January 6 to
take up the bridge issue. They
said they hoped to have reports
on the Virginia constultants'
proposals by that time from Mr..
Harrison's regional committee
and from the National Park
Service.
The regional committee, in an
area plan released last year, said
the E street site "offers the
greatest possibility for develop
ment as a connection between a
new crossing of the Potomac
and central Washington"
Maryland Involved.
Maryland, meanwhile, is in
volved in Virginia plans as far
as the proposed Jones Point and
Cabin John bridges are con-
cerned. The Cabin John span
has been viewed as a major link
with southwest leg of U. S.
Route 240 in Maryland.
Earlier, Maryland Roads Com
missioner Russell H. Mccain had
said his group might reStudy the
feasibility of building the 240
west leg if it were not practical
to build the Cabin John bridge.
He said yesterday, however,
that after study of the Virginia
report he has decided that "it
doesn't affect our planning too
much" Even without the bridge,
he noted, the Route 24O leg
would be able to tie into the
proposed George Washington
Memorial parkway, bordering
the Potomac River in Maryland.

Fire Volunteers
Assai| Report
.InMontgomery
Paid Departments
Aren't Less Costly,
They Tell Officials


Volunteer firemen yesterday
challenged Montgomery County
Public Safety Department report
that paid fire department would
be more economical for suburban
area residents.
In a six-page statement, the
volunteers association took sharp
issue with statements made last
spring by Public Safety Director
Arthur E. Miller and Fire Mar
shal Charles H. Howe. jr., both
county employees.
County supervision and control
of fire areas have been opposed
by residents on the theory>volun-
teers provide the best and most
economical" IRE protection OBJ
tainable. the association said.
The volunteers statement came
after a lengthy study of a re-
port made to a Joint budget
fact-finding group by the county
officials.
Seen as Election Issue.
The fate of the volunteers is
certain to be a campaign issue in
next years local elections al
though Mr.. Miller denied he was
urging creation of the paid SUBJ
urban department.
Mr.. Miller, in answer to the
fact finding groups question on
pros and cons of putting the fire
areas under county supervision,
went into a lengthy discussion
of a suburban fire department.
He estimated it's cost at $459, ,240
year.
The suburban department
might be supported by an IL
cent tax rate, the volunteers said.
But this would not mean that
residents net profit would be a
Is per cent cut in the fire-insur-
ance premiums as the safety di-
rector asserted. they added.
The insurance premium rate
would not change in Chevy
Chase and Bethesda, and in Sill
yer Spring and Kensington the
rate would drop only one. cent on
$100 of insurance, the associa-
tion said.
Higher Fire Tax Predicted.
At the same time, the fire-tax
rates would jump two cents in
Bethesda and one cent in the
other three areas. the associa-
ton added. The average net re-
suit would be a three-fourth
cent increase for property own
ers on each $100 of property.
The volunteer departments
now run their own business but
make periodic financial reports
and audits to the county.
"It is self-evident that volun-
teers would not give freely Of
their time and energy if control
and supervision were taken from
them," the association said.
The group also said that the
safety director and fire marshal.
in calculating the cost of a paid
department, failed to provide for
a sinking fund to replace apara-
tuS.
Volunteers Independent.
Although each volunteer COM
pany is independent at present.
they operate as a unit through a
mutual aid system. All volun-
teer departments now have mem
bers sleeping at the fire stations
to answer night calls.
The county council last May
passed a bill tightening it's con-
troll over the volunteers. In
August the same measure was
vetoed by the council, six to one,
before it could become a law.
Some councilmen expressed "re-
luctance" in casting this vote.
No support was given the mea-
sure in two public hearings.
The volunteers statement was
prepared by a committee headed
by Mark Reid of Chevy Chase. It
was released by Page F. Hopkins.
president of the Silver Spring
Volunteer Fire Department.
