will serve as a warehouse for the
servicing of the beer and light
wine licensees in the Upper County,
Mr.. McNayr said.
The store is the eighth dispen-
sary in the county's system. Some
councilmen have expressed fear
that if it fails to provide a dis
pensary where there appears to be
a demand for it, the county could
possibly lose it's profitable mo-
nopoly.
The dispensary was violently OPP
posed by number of residents of
the Gaithersburg area. One of
the leaders of the anti-dispensary
group was the Rev. Herman N.
Wilson, superintendent of the As
bury Methodist Home for the
Aged there.
Although the council heard a
great deal from opponents of the
dispensary and received numerous
opposition letters, it also was de-
lugcd by cards supporting the &C
ton. A number of councilmen
also were contacted personally by
business men and others in the
town who favored the dispensary.
Establishment of the dispensary
was called "high-handed and un-
democratic by H. w. Becrsft.
Others accused the council of fail
ing to give proper consideration to
opposition letters.
The council made it clear Tues
day that if the new dispensary
does not show a profit it will be
abolished. Mr.. McNayr expects it
to clear up to $4,000 year.

Old Court
House May
Become
City Hall
MilOr Advances
Plan for Town,
To Occupy Building
Later This Year

The old brick court house at the
County seat is slated to become
Rockville's city hall, if j. Warren
Milor, member of the town council
has his say.
Mr.. Milor's suggestion came this
week when he pointed out that the
spectacular els percent increase in
population in seven years at the
County Seat has turned a sleepy
village into a busy community. In
view of the mushrooming growth
of Rockville, Mr.. Milor said the
City government should work out
a plan Immediately for occupying
the Court House when that ven
cradle landmark on the square is
vacated by the County government
this year.
No Tenants
1t is expected that the new SIS
million County office building at
Rockville will be completed this
summer and consolidation of coun-
ty offices at that time will leave
the old Court House without ten
ants.
Mr.. Milor said acquisition of Of
flee space in the old Court House
by the Rockville government would
be illogical and forward step"
in the elementary matter of pro-
Y viding adequate housing for city
departments and personnel.
Space in the Viett building now
occupied by the town ais no longer
sufficient for the towns needs"
Mr.. Milor added, and Occupancy
of the old Court House seems to be
the proper solution of the towns
official housing problem"
More Personnel
Mr.. Milor said the Rockville
government needs also to increase
its personnel in order to provide
the services required by the still
expanding population" The town
has enough regulations and or
dinances," he added, land what it
needs now is enough people to
make them work."
He said if the local government
is able to work out an occupancy
agreement with the County that
the Court Room in the old building
will provide also adequate space
for town meetings and will give

Relocating the Rockville fire
house from it's present site on
Jefferson Street, to the fire de-
partment's carnival grounds on the
Rockville pike was approved Tues
day by the County Council.
w. Valentine Wilson, honorary
chief, told the council that the
architect has been called in to
revise plans and work may get
underway within the next six
months.
Mr.. Wilson said the present fire
house is inadequate to handle the
departments modern equipment.
He added the ground floor and
basement of the present building
probably will be remodeled for
office use.
Mr.. Wilson and David Belts
represented the volunteer firemen
at the hearing before the council.
The two said the Rockville city
council had indicated it would
grant a permit for construction of
the new building.
Towns Center
The new location will put the
firehouse almost in the geograph-
ical center of Rockville. Mr.. Will
son said about half the depart

area along Viers Mill road and
the B&O railroad tracks which
the city annexed in recent years.
Rockville now answers calls as
far east at Wheaton City.
The chief said the department
will finance the new building with
proceeds from it's annual carnival.
No opposition to the proposed site
was registered at the meeting.

however, has met with considerable
difficulty in getting the council to
okay its new proposed site al

at 223 Diamond Avenue, Gathers

pensary to serve the Upper County.
The dispensary probably will

County Manager Irving G. McNayr
said Tuesday. The council okayed
the three year lease with only Mrs.
Stella B. Werner opposing expan-
sion of the county-operated dis
pensary system.
The new dispensary will have
parking space adjoining it. The
lease permits the county to discon-
