William Vaughn, POT Adclare Road.
The committee was appointed by
Stanley Smigel, chairman of the
Rockville Citizens Action Com
mittee. This group arrived in force
at the July 20 Mayors meeting to
request definite proposals from the
Mayor and Council to relieve the
shortage, and to learn of future
plans for supplying water to the
city.
Mr.. Smigel, in a letter to the
Mayor announcing the appoint
ments, said ga meeting Thursday
or Friday would constitute tangible
evidence to Rockville citizens that
action is underway.
In an interview Tuesday after
noon, Mayor Weddle said he re-
ceived Mr.. Smigel's letter Tuesday
morning, but hoped to announce a
convenient date at the City Council
meeting Wednesday night.
In the same letter three alternate
committee members were named.
They are: Frederick Stalfort,
13,203 Ardennes Avenue, first al
ternate; Clyde Hardin, 1903 Craw-
ford Drive, second alternate; and
Michael Davis, 206 Adclare Road,
third alternate.
At a special City Council meet
ing on July 80 Councilman J. War
rem Milor moved to maintain the
present water ordinance forbidding
outdoor water use until the water
situation improves.
City Manager John Mcdonald
cited the need for supply for fire
protection and expressed concern
over the water level during the
next three months when the water
table is at seasonal low.
In other business at the meeting
the council granted a building per-
nit for the driven theater to be
constructed next to Carver Junior
College. The theater will have two
entrances on Route 240. An ordi-
nance to protect nearby residents
from vehicular noise and lights will
be prepared by the council before
the operating permit is granted.
According to city officials, who
have quizzed other cities in Mary
land, no other Maryland munich
pality has a drive-in theater within
the city limits.
The council voted to increase the
cost of connecting water mains
from $50 to $50 effective August
1. The increase is caused by the
Jump in costs of materials.

board also cut proposed $4,000

Carpenter suggested that Carver

Court decision on segregation,
pointing out that abolition of segre-
cation would provide too many
classrooms for Rockville if the Car

The program was adopted as
amended with the provision that
the new superintendent of schools,
DR.. Forbes H. Norris, Sr., who sat
with the board for the first time
Monday night, should study the
desirability of allocating money to
Hillandale instead of Oak Hill

$250,000 in the amended program.

board, urged construction of Hill

The resolution authorizing the
hearing does not specify price to
be paid for the lot nor a use to
which it might be put. The council
plans to negotiate further on a
price on the lot. The Colesville
Road lot, to be tossed in by the
Hecht Co., is valued at about $780,,

from a special levy on the Silver

Fire Tax

Monarch continued, "we should en-.
act it,.
Councilman Lathrop Smith in
making the motion for veto criti-
cized persons who "reportedly
favored the bill but would not
testify at either of the two hear
ings". His allusion obviously was
to members Of the Charter Com
mittee who had urged the reform
measure.
"This bill is bad," Smith said,
"only in that it was too weak-the
firemen and civic groups are think
ing of a county of 10000, they've
got to go accept certain necessary
changes that go along with county
of over 100000 and the response
bility is not entirely the councils.
Smith said he had little faith in the
"firemen and civic associations with
their promises to work out legisla-
ton to improve the fire depart
ment activities on their own. "They
will put it off until sometime else
in authority forces the ISSUE,
Smith said.
Smith emphasized his remarks
with a quote from A. D. Farquhar
of Sandy Spring that Gas long as
we're volunteers, don't tell US what
to do.
Councilman Louis A. Gravelle
and Harold F. Hammond, the latter
of whom sponsored the bill origin
ally last May, based their support
of the veto on the expressions at
the public hearing that "the people
don't want the bill". Hammond
said, however, that he still thought
the bill has merits.
The bill, scheduled to become law
August Is, was originally opposed
only by Council President George
F. Nesbitt and Mrs. Stella Werner.
Mrs. Werner disagreed with
Monarch that Hearings do not
mean anything. We have to take
into consideration the recommen-
datfons produced at the hearing.
Council Attorney David Mac
donald told the council that bill
number II to reorganize the Ken
sington Fire Department would
still be valid after the veto of the
countrywide control bill. He said
the council would still have the
power to fl the fire tax rate in
that area, provided for the first
time.
At the same time, the council set
public hearing, next Tuesday, at
3:15 pm. on a request to veto the
Kensington bill filed by the North
Kensington and the Homewood
Citizens Association. The tw o
groups complained that they per-
mitted the Kensington bill to be
amended to give the council power
to set the tax rate to confirm to the
control bill now vetoed.
The council Tuesday also set a
public hearing August %, at 4 PM,
to hear public opinion on a pro-
posal to purchase the disputed
Armory Lot in Silver Spring.
The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
which won title to the disrupted
four-acre lot after long court litiga-
with the county, has offered to sell
the lot to the county for $4,000
for use as a public parking space.
The offer includes a proviso that a
