Bar of County Pays Unique
Tribute to Late +. b. Welsh

In a unique memorial service
in the Circuit Court chamber on
Nov. q, the Montgomery County
Bar Association paid tribute to
one of it's most colorful and be
loved past members 49, the late
f. Barnard Welsh.
For the first time in memory,
the Court took an hours recess
after the petit jury had been
selected and sworn in to eulogize
the late Mr.. Welsh as a man of
keen human sympathy, and as a
LAWYER with heart although Of
sharp and caustic wit on occa-
sions.
Chairman of the unusual
affair was William F. Prettyman
who read a lively and informal
recollection of the deceased
written by one of his sons, Bar
nard T. Welsh, also a Rockville
attorney. Excerpts from the
sketch. which abounds in anec-
dote and history, will be publish.
ed in next weeks SENTINEL.

PROPOSE CHANGE in COUNTY LIQUOR SALE
Cold Snap
Is Making
Pools Hot

With the first snow of the sea
son reportedly on its way to
montgomery County, the County
Council elected to devote a gooC
share of its time this week to the
question of swimming pools.
The Council received a tele
gram of protest from the Brad
icy Boulevard Citizens, Associa
ton which attacked the proposed
pool of the Old Georgetown Club
Inc. on Fernwood Rd. near Green,
tree Rd. in Bethesda. The tele
gram termed the projected pool
a public nuisance and warned
that the County would have little
or no control over it.
The Council scheduled a public
hearing on a suggested amend
ment to coming regulations apply
ing to swimming pools at 8 pm.
Jan. 10. The amendment would
junk the present coming require
ment that the majority of mem.
bers in a pool club live within
one half mile of the pool location.
The old subject of the adequacy
of salaries paid to the County
Police came up when Councilman
Robert Snure expressed surprise
at the fact that many of the
County officers work at other
jobs in off-duty time.
Explanation for this was said
to be the fact that a private in
the County force starts with an
annual salary of 1884 compared
with $1,000 in the District. The
comparable salary in Prince
Georges County is $1,000, how
ever.
In other actions, the Council
urged the Federal Government
to reconsider the proposed shift
of the Federal Civil Defense Col.
lege at Olney to Battle Creek
Mich. 1t also agreed to allow the
County Personnel Board to re
cruit for the vacant position OF
County Health Officer.

the time when Mr.. Welsh was
defending a man charged with
manslaughter by automobile.
The State said the man had
been drinking, called on a doctor
who testified the mans eyes
were bloodshot.
"On cross examination, Dad
asked the doctor which of the
defendants eyes was glass. The
doctor said the right eye. The
defendant took the stand, cover.
ed up his left eye and read a
book to the jury. The name of
the book - Hochheimer."
Other lawyers who rose to
give their memories of the late
Mr.. Welsh included James H.
Pugh, Joseph Simpson, John Ok
ley, Albert Bouic, ward
Brown, Dave Belts, Einar Chris.
Jensen, Ralph Shure and Mr..
Prettyman.
Judges Prescott and Wood

of the late Mr.. Welsh.

~ These were among the high
Aghts of the economic survey
completed last week of the future
prospects of the County by DR..
Homer Hoyt and associates, Chi
cago land economists.
A cut in the number of farm
dwellings, from the 1850 total of
2697 to POPS by 1880 was forecast
as was a reduction in farmland
to 427 square miles.
Notwithstanding his forecast
of suburban encroachment on the
present farm character of upper
Montgomery County, Hoyt is in
favor of the retention of some
farms.
Agriculture must always be
part of the economic base (Of
the County, and should be sta
biliZed and protected from pre-
mature subdivisions or partial
ly planned random urban ex-
pansiOn," he says in the report.
Other key points:
By 1880, Montgomery County
should have a total population of
100000 compared to its present
total of 24S,000.
If trade and industry flourish,
the 1860 tax rate should be $1.88
; "a cent higher than the current
rate.
The County's school enrolment
will be 81, 300 in 1880 compared to
the present 42,508.
Rockville was held to be the
area of the most rapid increase
in population from 1850 to 1854
"a gain of 93.2 percent. This
figure was challenged in Rock
ville-the gain was said to be
close to $50 percent0
The County was urged to:
Bring in light industry with
employees paid on the average of
$500 per month.
Stress the construction of
homes of at least $4,000 value
since this is the break-even point
at which the cost of services pro-
vided equals the total tax.
Compete more vigorously for
business with downtown Wash
ington.

May Seek
To Break
Monopoly
BY Susie Kaplan
GSent.nel Corresponding

A hot but publicly-submerged
County issue Is scheduled to
break into the full flame of open
discussion in the near future the
SENTINEL learned this week.
1t is a possible revision of state
legislation regulating the sale of
across-the-bar drinks of hard
liquor which would break the
monopoly" which three County
establishments now have on the
public tipping trade.
For weeks County newsmen
have known that there was wide
spread unrest and dissatisfaction
among many County restaurant
owners with the present State
legislation that limits the sale Of
hard liquor drinks to a mere
8 in the county-Olney Inn, Nor
mandy Farms and the Anglers
Inn. These establishments were
in the county before Prohibition.
Claiming discrimination on the
part of the State in limiting this
highly-profitable element of the
food-and-drink business to just
three establishments, these
sources have approached the
County delegation to the State
Assembly on the possibility of
rewriting the 1888 State law that
names the three establishments
as the only ones of a public ma.
ture in the County that may sell
hard" drinks.
Blair Lee III, assemblyman
from Silver Spring, confirmed
the substance of this situation in
an exclusive interview with this
correspondent last week. Mr..
Lee, who has since been chosen
chairman of the County's legisla-
tive delegation, made it clear that
he does not necessarily favor re.
writing the liquor laws, nor does
he presume to speak for the
County delegation. He did indi-
cate, however, that he recognizes
the existence of the problem as
one for public discussion.
ANY modification of the exist.
ing liquor law must be APP
preached with extreme caution"
he said. "The last thing we
would want would be a radical
swing of the pendulum in the
County resulting in the establish
ment of saloons and night clubs
in Montgomery County. There
may be a case, however, for le-
Ultimate restaurants and pros
pective hotels"
He also added that he would
want to retain the local option
so that any dry" districts in the
County could remain dry" If
they wished.
The liquor question as well as
the perennial problems of seek
ing additional funds to aid Coun-
ty schools, and the reorganiza-
ton of the two bi.county commits
sions including the elimination of
the up.county Planning Commits
sion, were indicated by Mr.. Lee
as among the issues uppermost
in the minds Of the County's dele
cation to Annapolis. The Assem-
bly, term starts Jan. 5.

zen.views on these and other sub
