Montgomery
Gets 70 New
Laws Today
Measures Enacted
In Moy Session
Are Now Effective

Twenty-eight bills enacted by
the Montgomery County Council
during its May legislative ses-
sion become law today.
One Of the new laws requires
residents to fence in or cover
abandoned wells or excavations.
The pleasure also requires that
an artificial pond on private
property be surrounded by q
fence at least four feet high.
Another measure prohibits
farmers and homeowners from
working on roads and streets in
front of their properties without
obtaining a permit from the De-
partment of Public Works.
County officials say the new
law is simply a clarifying meas
ure. They have commended that
the road code adopted in 1850
always prohibited the mainte-
nance of roads and streets with
out a permit.
New Fire Tax Area.
The new laws establish q new
Laytonsville fire tax area COM
prising most Of the first election
district. The new taxing area
was carved from the Damascus,
Sandy Spring and Gaithersburg-
Washington Grove fire area.
The new fire tax area is smaller
than that originally requested by
the Laytonsville department.
Councilman Grover Walker in
the May session succeeded in re-
tanning for Gaithersburg a por-
ton of the area sought by Lay
louisville.
Two measures that 60 in
effect today give the council the
authority to pass ordinances
regulating slaughter houses in
the county and the sale, carrying
and use of firearms and other
dangerous weapons.
The council Tuesday is ex-
pected to consider the possible
drafting of such ordinances. The
dangerous weapons ordinance
has been sought by the county
police who want records kept of
firearms sales and a closer reg
ulation of the sale switchblade
knives and the like.
Regulations for Hotels.
Another measure requires ho-
tells, motels, tourist homes and
rooming houses to maintain q
permanent register of guests, in
Guiding their addresses, time of
arrival and departure, and a rec
ord of their license plate num-
bers.
The tightening Of registration
information was sought by police
who believe it will aid them in
their Investigations. Police often
get descriptions of out-of- State
cars involved in crimes and feel
they will be able to speed routine
checking of transient accom-
modations if records of license
numbers must be maintained.
At hearings in May, motel
operators commended that most
of these records already were
kept. Their chief objection was
to the regulation putting the
responsibility on the motel opera
tor for confirming car license
numbers.
Two proposed amendments to
the county charter will be sub
mitted to the voters at the gen.
eral election, November 2.
One would remove the present
$4,000 limitation on the county
managers salary. The other,
more controversial, would re-
move the $1,000 limitation on
salaries of council members and
increase their pay per meeting
from $40 to $40. The meeting
rate is supposed to cover the ex-
penses incurred by councilmen.

Mr.. Summerfield suggested
that Congress create the perma-

type Of mail is to be carried at

subsidy basis, with Congress ap-

works seem to have faced an in
controvertible fact of broadcast
ing life. The programs have to

It may seem like a waste of
money to create color TV shows
for only a handful of color re-

waste of money to spend $1,000

CHS is confident that its color

that color TV offers. He made
his announcement yesterday in
Boston in a talk before the Ad-
