was to make them feel wanted
and liked.
Robert Wilson, PEPCO vice
president, appeared in response
to the previously stated opposi
ton of the Mayor and Council to
proposed electric rate increases
for the area.
In support of the increase, Mr.
Wilson contended that the com
pany had had to spend S122 mil
lion for new construction to pro
vide service since 1947 and that il
intends to spend an additional SOS
million for the same purpose in
the future.
1t was also pointed out that the
increase in Rockville homes will
be Is percent compared to 10 per
cent over the whole area, and that
commercial users would get a 3.4
percent increased compared to 1C
percent overall.

Why the Long Wait
For the New Council?

Back in the days when the Is original States sprawed
along the Eastern seaboard with only sea-gong packets
and relays of swift riding horses to carry ne
gence as called the coffee house days. took two
weeks before the people of the fedgng Republic knew the
identity of the President composition of the
Congress.
Progress, it has been called, has brought some i'm
provement in that situation Thanks to telephone and tee
graph radio and TV able whether Oregon
has Republican Democratic within 48 hours after
the closing of the polls Indeed able and hear
the smile of victory the resoute comeback avowals of
victor vanquhed almost families of the cand
dates.
But in Montgomery County it appears that progress has
gone far and not much further We who cleo
ton to the County Council but both the successful
candidates must await the creaking, numbering action
of political system that dates back to the times of G. Wash
ngton before welcome the Council to its seats
and watch it discharging business
According the latest advice the sages of County
ociadom it may be the first week in December before the
members of the Council n certified and al
lowed to vote in representing the people of their district
who elected them.
AS understand it, the board of canvassers must first
complete the official canvass of votes
Then the Clerk of the Circuit Court must certify the
and forward it to the Governor at Annapolis Then
His Excelency-when he is attending to official State bust
and not taking in football game cutting ribbon to
roadmust sign warrant of election for each Coun
Gilman Then the warrants must be sent back to Rockville
and each Councilman in his warrant through
should receive the certificaon. And
from this point the big wait begins while the Annapolis
wheels load the with ink and try to induce the Governor
to sit still and get writer's cramp.
In the meantime, informed, the old Council
most of it repudaed by the voters-w continue do bust
in the of those voters. Newly elected Council
members have been invited to s in" and "observe" but
the lame ducks will do all the cackng And this situation
is apt to last until December!
We confess to Impotence with and resentment
of this. There to be good reason-barng red
tape official delay and musy tradition-for such state
of affairs
The County is tired Of the old Council. That's why it
elected We know who these and
are their right to sit is unchalenged far the voting
goes and why they shouldn't get with
their job with dispatch and the best wishes of all of
Someday, we hope governmental efficiency expert
will direct angud eye to this situation and bring the
local machinery to dateor let's scrap Rudy Lof

Rockville

lCOntlnued from rage IL
ened length of residence required
for a citizen to vote in city cleo
tons.
Formerly, the law required a
minimum of three years residence,
and in many cases, it was five
years, if the PERSONS residence
did not coincide properly With
county election years. AS a result
of citizen effort, this time re-
quirement was shortened to one
year, and more registration days
and places were made available.
Citizen-interest was aroused to
a fever pitch, Mr.. Hartman said,
with the water shortage during
the summer of 1858. A group of
citizens, feeling that Rockville
needed a new administration to
cope with such problems, formed
the Citizens For Good Govern
ment organization in January,
1854.
Hartman described the history
of egg: the placing of a large ad
in the Sentinel on February 4,
urging citizens to join in the eff
fort to obtain a better govern
ment for Rockville; the amazing
ly large response to this ad, and
as result, the organization of an
extremely energetic campaign on
the part of eggs members who
soon numbered in the hundreds.
On February II, Gust 9 months
ago today "a group of civic lead
erS from all parts of town met at
the invitation of CGG, for the un-
precedented purpose of nominal
ing democratically slate of can
didates for the Rockville election.
1t was the first time in Rockville's
history that the nomination of
candidates had been done by a
widely-representative group, and
the men selected were both Fed
eral and non-Federal workers, old
residents of the city as well as
new.
A group of volunteers (men
and women from many parts of
the city, drew up the platform on
which these candidates ran: a
platform which stressed democ-
racy, efficiency and foresight,
with specific attention to recrea-
ton, traffic, planning, for the
city's growth, and citizen partici-
patton in the government of the
city.
Mr.. Hartman went on to tell
the jury of the intensive efforts
of the Citizens For Good Govern
ment and Citizens Associations to
bring about an increased registra-
ton of voters. This resulted in an
increase from 1899 to 5000 during
registration week this year. CGG
members also worked tirelessly,
distributing publicity about their
candidates, publicizing city prob
lens, and arousing citizen inter-
est by such means as an 80-car
motorcade which drove through
Rockvilles streets one Saturday
in March.
The Good Government candi-
dates accepted invitations to
speak at many different meet
ings throughout town, and hun
dreds of citizens turned out to
hear their plans for improving the
city, and also to hear their oppo-
nents who occasionally spoke too.
Efforts by opposing candidates
to discourage participation of
Federal employees in the cam
paign resulted only in increased
citizen interest and the livelieSt
campaign in the history of Rock
vile. The elimination of the cam.
paign was election day, May 3,
with groups of citizens making
telephone calls, operating car

graph. The girls were asked to
demonstrate their skill by arrang-
ing the furniture which we'll ar

girls entered into this phase of
work with zeal and many were
the changes they had to make
before their leader was satisfied.
Following the program their
hostess served 4Cs cookies, po-
