payers, Simmons said, "many of
whom own taxpaying businesses
in the county.
"Unless the County Council
alters the Road Code and sends
this subdivision proposal back to
the Planning Commission for fur
Their study, Montgomery County
will lose its rightful share of new
people coming into Maryland. If
economical development is not
possible, the construction of new
homes for these people will stop,
if these regulations are rigidly
enforced.
"a Montgomery County builder
cannot offer homes at prices COM
petitive with other areas if he has
to spend close to $1,000 in roads,
bonds, etc., per lot, in addition to
the original cost of the ground
even before he starts to dig the
foundations" Simmons said.
At the same time, T. Girard
Lee, Montgomery County builder
and chairman of the Upper Mont
gomery County Committee of the
Home Builders Association of
Metropolitan Washington, ac-
cused the Upper Montgomery
County Planning Commission of
"class prejudice" and sheer
snobbery". Mr.. Lee, in address
ing a builders meeting in Rock
Vile referred to certain provi-
sions in the County's 1850 Road
Code and pending subdivision
regulations "the combined effect
of which will make it impossible
for landowners in rural Mont
gomery County to get a fair
market price for their farms, and
will put new housing costs COM
pletely out of reach of the aver
age-income family, Lee said.
"The Upper-Montgomery Coun-
ty Planning Commission is try
ing to make us into another West
chester County teXclusive New
York State residential section
contiguous with suburban New
York City, where none but the
very wealthy can afford to live"
Lee said. There aren't that many
millionaires in or near this area.
These unprecedented require
ments of the present subdivision
code and the proposed coming or
dinance will shut Montgomery
County off from its share OF new
home owners and taxpayers and
ring down the curtain on an era
of progress for the people who
make their living in this county.
Mr.. Lee was challenging the
Upper County Planning Commits
sion sponsored planning ordin'
ance which would limit the size
of sub-divided lots, a plan which
links the proposed ordinance to
the 1850 highway construction re-
ouirements. Zoning Ordinance
Regulations will be considered at
a meeting of the Montgomery
County Council in Rockville, 8
D. M, Wednesday night, March 81.

payment as such was virtually
impossible in the county now. He
added if there was a need for
some kind of programs along
this line it might be possible to
set up a sysetm whereby resi-
dents could purchase tax payment
certificates in various denomina-
tons throughout the year. Then
when tax payment time comes
due, the resident could apply
these certificates plus interest
they accumulate toward their
bills.
Nothing doing, the council
said.

Grover Walker failed Tuesday in
their efforts to promote woman

manager at an annual salary Old
$500.
At the same time the council
approved promotion of William

Yeck, who has been making quite
name for himself in meets this

not make the "trip because of badly
pulled leg muscles and his absence
was sorely felt Naylor could not
make the trip.
A heavy track kept good times at
a minimum and the only Beaver
firsts went to Bertsche in the mile
run with a 5:00.2 clocking and Jim
Gundy in the 440-yard dash in 52.3,
one of the fastest times of the day.
Don Henderson / covered the 220
in 22.7 to take second in the event
and came back with a third in the
century. He was timed in 10.5
seconds.
Martin Strayer was the big Beaver
point-maker of the meet taking a
second in the 12D-yard high hurdles,
second in the hi gh jump, and finish
ing third in the broad jump and the
1SO-yard low HI Irdles. His leap of
2O1Oh" was HI 5 best effort of the
season in the ekent. George Bailey
took fourth in tn broad jump.
Other Beaver points were chalked
up by Shelly with a second in the
mile run, Red Basinger who captur-
ed a third in the half-mile, Hacka-

Van Vert Hurler
Pitches NG-Hitter
Against BhfftOn

Van Wert's Murphy pitched a no
hit, no-run game Monday afternoon
as he hurled the Cougars to a 40
victory over Bluffton high school at
Van Vert.
The loss was the fourth for the
Pirates as against two wins and gave
the undefeated Cougars record of
wins and no losses and again estab-
lished as one of the areas favorites
for a berth in the regional tourna-
ment and a possible state tourney
bid.
Although Murphy goose-egged the
Pirates across the Board, they hit
the ball hard and w8h few breaks
might have pulled tae contest out of
the fire as two of the Cougar runs
were unearned.
Fred Amstutz gave the winners
but six hits and #the four runs he
gave up were the lowest amount
scored by the Cotgars this year. His
performance got the nod from the
Van Vert coach as the best hurler
his team has faced this year. He
struck out seven and walked but two,
one of them Intentionally.
Van Vert Tailed two runs in the
first frame on triple and two
errors. They came back with single
runs in the third and sixth frames
