Council Considers
1OO-H Sefbaeks On.
Community Pools

A measure that would permit
community swimming pools in
residential areas, restricted only
by rigid setback requirements, is
under consideration by the
Montgomery County Council.
The proposed amendment to
the zoning code was presented
to the council yesterday and was
based on recommendations OF
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
according to George F. Nesbitt.
Mr.. Nesbitt said a committee
comprising himself, Assistant
County Attorney Joe M. Kyle,
Planning Commissioner Donald
E. Gingery and attorney J. Bond
Smith had been unable to get
together.
The proposed amendment
calls for the pools to be set back
100 feet from all property lines.
The proposal prompted Har-
old F. Hammond, council presi-
dent, to comment that he
doubted II any, tract could be
found in existing residential
communities to meet this re-
quirement.
The original amendment would
have permitted the pools to be
established on minimum 2.5-acre
tracts in redisential areas. The
council. however, failed to act on
this proposal and sought to come
up with an amendment that
would provide more protection
for surrounding properties.

to be parked beneath them.
Thus, the idea of the new units
is to permit parking operators to
double the car capacity of small
lots. The platforms can be
raised or lowered by means of
their own power systems in 20
seconds.
AS a starter, Mr.. Dezendorf
said. he may use the up-in-the-
air spaces for all-day parking
with special rates. The lot, be-
cause it is in an area demand

In expressing sentiments
against commercial expansion OF
Andrews, in view Of yesterdays g
tragedy, Mr.. Small said:
II, feel. Of course. as I have
always felt. that to superimpose
big numbering commercial planes
on the military field would be
almost suicide. I think there are
definitely enough hazards right
now to the people near the base,
and to put commercial planes
there would increase the hazards
almost to the point where it
would almost be criminal.
.I was accused Of trying to
prevent these commercial planes
going into Andrews In order TO
help out Friendship Airport, but
that is not so. The fact is that
Friendship is already there, and

Group Named
To Sell U. 5.
On Roadway
Will Push Program
For New Highway
To Circle District

A special committee to deter
mine how best to ''sell" the pro-
posed outer circumferential
traffic route Of the Metropolitan
Area was announced yesterday
by the Regional Planning Coun.
Gil.
The body also will try to set
tie onsa formula for sharing the
cost Of approaches to bridges to
be built across the Potomac
River.
Harland Bartholomew, chair
man Of the National Capital
Planning Commission and the
regional council, said these mem-
bers. will meet tomorrow at IL
am:
Francis ". du Pont, commits
sioner OF the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads: James A. Ander-
son. chairman of the Virginia
State Highways Commission;
Russell McC Cain, chairman Of the
Maryland State Roads Commits
sior1;! Brig. Gen. Curtis w. Prem.
tiss. District Engineer Commits
sioner, and Mr.. Bartholomew.
Must Convince Bureau.
If the various political juris-
dictions of the Washington area
are to get Federal matching
funds to help build the outer
belt roadway-which would circle
Washington at a radius of about
10 miles from downtown-they
must convince the Bureau of
Public Roads that the route
should be included in the Federal
program.
Mr.. du Points membership on
the new committee would seem
to indicate that the Federal
Government lends at least a SYM
pathetic ear to the project.
One Of the chief immediate
concerns Of the regional council
is getting enough money to buy
rights-of-way for the circumfer-
ential. The way the area is
building up, the council fears
that unless enough money is
made available soon a Wishing
ton bypass route may become
out OF the question financially.
To build the bypass of WASH
ington, the legislatures Of Mary
land and Virginia would have to
appropriate, sufficient funds that
would be matched by the Federal
Government either through the
urban or Interstate highway i'm
.provement provisions OF the Ma
tional Highway Act.
Other Units Formed.
The planning council estab-
lished two more standing COM
nittees yesterday. one for water
supply and the other for sewage
disposals problems in the area.
Mr.. bartholomew said he would
appoint members later.
Gen. Prentiss recommended
formation Of the new committees.
He said that some kind Of study
is In order to decide how long the
Potomac River will be able to
provide the city and its enyirons
with enough drinking water.
The Engineer Commissioner
said that continued population
increases must be expected on
through the year 1000 in the
Metropolitan Area. That means
greater water demand.
I'VE should be ever alert so
that whenever q good source of
water is discovered in our area,
no outside interests get the
claims" Gen. Prentiss said.
Chairman Bartholomew agreed.
We've got to forestall this kind
Of grabbing for land" he said.
