Fire Marshal Finds
a Montgomery Mills
Invite Destruction

Four mills operating in Mont
gomery County are built to
burn" Fire Marshal Charles H.
Howe, jr., told the County Coun-
Gil yesterday.
Mr.. Howe's warning came as
he reported on the 5000 fire
that destroyed the Derwood Mill
June z.
To avert a repetition of the
costly blaze, Mr.. Howe made a
series of recommendations. in
Guiding one to extend the build
ing code to the Upper County.
He also recommended that
all mills having more than $500
square feet of floor space be re-
quired to have an approved
Waterman and clock system that
would insure early discovery of
blaZeS.
Would Prevent Blasts.
The fire marshal said that in
such fires, it is necessary that
they be caught early to prevent
explosions. Last weeks blaze
sent soaring heat $50 feet to
burn the paint of one fire truck
and crack the windshield of an
other.
Noting that firemen had to
lay half a mile of hose to get
water to. fight the Derwood
blaze, Mr.. Howe suggested that
all mills have an adjacent cis-
tern containing at least $4,000
gallons of water.
In existing mills, he also pro-
posed that a study be made to
determine the feasibility of
building fire walls to create
smaller fire areas. He also Sug-
gested that a study be made of
whether sprinkler systems can
be installed in the mills.
The Council yesterday directed
that studies be made on whether
to rent or buy a house in the
Viers Mill area for the health
clinic there.
More Dispensary Space.
Also under consideration is a
request by the Department of
Liquor Control to more than
double the size of the Wheaton
Liquor Dispensary, at a cost OF
$1,000 a year in rent.

Langley Park Dispute
On Apartment zOning
Studied by Attorneys

Attorneys for both sides in a
dispute over apartment coming
in the Langley Park section of
Prince Georges County today
were trying to unsnarl five
years of confusion" over use of
a 33-acre tract at University
lane and Riggs road.
The Prince Georges County
Commissioners in effect declared
a moratorium yesterday on
further apartment construction
at the disputed location by get
ting an agreement from the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission to
withhold further subdivision of
the property until the matter
is Strengthened out.
The commissioners assigned
their legal staff to confer with
planning commission officials
and Attorney Harry M. Shoo-
man. representing the Langley
HomeownerS' Council.
Dispute Began Three Weeks Ago.
The homeowners' group first
disputed additional apartments
| in their area three weeks ago in
an appeal to the commissioners
to "reiterate past zoning rul-
ings." A spokesman for the
Homeowners' Council said its
request came after machinery
and workmen started arriving
at the tract to put UP apart
ments. They said they thought
the land was zoned for single
family residences.
Richard j. Stanley, head OF
the protesting citizens, said two
separate applications to rezone
the land from supposedly resi-
Dental use to apartment use
were heard by the commissioners
in 1851 and 1852.
The Langley group opposed
the move both times. Mr.. STAN
ley said. and apparently won
out.
But c. Warren Giauque Of the
Park and Planning Commission
said the applications were heard
through a mistake. He declared
that the land in question is part
of a residential planned COM
munity project laid out in 194e
when the county's present zon'
ing ordinance was enacted, anc
has been zoned for apartment
use ever since.
If a mistake was made. Com

Mr.. Stanley said his group
was willing to "concede" con.
struction of eight apartment
units already under way on the
tract. The land is owned by Isa'
dore M. Gudelsky, according tt
planning commission records.
"It is practically impossible
that so many people could have
made the same mistake" saiC
Mr.. Stanley. He called the mix

67-Cent Rise
In School Tax
Rate Forecast
$50 Million More
In Cost to County
Il, Seen by le59-60

A 67-cent increase in the pres
ent school tax rate of $3.50 per
500 over the next five years is
the outlook for Montgomery
County residents, according to
the County's Financial Advisory
Committee.
The committee made the
gloomy prediction as it warned
the County Council it should be
fully aware of what appears to
be developing" in considering
the budget for the fiscal year
beginning July /.
An $50 million increase by
1959-6O was predicted in the
county's cost of the overall
school program.
BY that time. the county
would be paying $l4.6 million Of
a $17.2 million operating budget.
and $50 million for debt service
on school bonds.
SIT Million Recommended.
The county managers total
budget recommended for the
coming fiscal year is only SIT
million.
The As per cent increase in
the school tax rate would mean
residents would be paying 20
cents more on the tax rate for
schools alone than they are now
paying for all county functions.
In reviewing the county'S
financial situation, the commit
tee, headed by Charles L.
bearing, urged against any
efforts to increase the 10 per
cent statutory limitation on
bonded Indebtedness or the use
of Short-term loans from the
State for school construction.
I'm evaluating the financial
ability of the county to meet
mounting school costs, it should
be kept in mind that the main
tenance of other essential county
functions should. not be be
jeopardized," the COMMITTEES
said.
Moderate Rise Seen.
The Advisory COMMITTEES
warned that the county's asses
sable base rise will be at more
moderate rate than it has been
in the last five years. An in
crease to 1925 million is the
outlook.
The percentage of the county's
total operating budget that has
gone for schools has jumped 6.5
per cent in the last three years.
the committee said. The per-
centage for health, welfare, safety
and general government has been
declining.
The committee said part OF
this increase in school expendi-
lures has been caused by the rise
in the cost per student, which
cannot be explained merely by
the decline in the value of the
dollar.
ClaSSrooms for 24,500 addi-
tional pupils will be needed by
the fall of 1859. the committee
said. Building them will cost
$30.8 million, the committee said.
Grants Seen as Relief.
Noting that the School Board
had asked for only $3.50 million
the committee said the board
apparently was assuming that
the State through grants-in-aio
will contribute to school con-
struction on a 3-to-1 matching
basis.
If the county goes into the full
building program, the debt Serv.
ice on school bonds alone will
skyrocket $r.675.000 to So!
million.
IF we expect to keep up oul
present standards of education
the direction in which schoo
costs are headed is unmistak-
able" the committee said.
Besides Mr.. bearing, the com
mittee included Wilfred L. Good.
wyn. jr.; Herbert Hyatt and Free
L. LuteS.
