County Council -.

Continued from Page, y
Landowners Association of Upper
Montgomery County to force i'm
mediate repeal.
Rockville real estate man Mar
vim E. Simmons said a majority
of the new Council had promised
to repeal the controversial coming
measure at their first meeting.
JamiSon reaffirmed his stand
for repeal of the measure but de-
MED claims that the action was
promised at the first meeting.
In an apparent slap at the land
owners group, CouncilWoman
Stella B. Werner said the Deem
Der hearing was aimed at getting
the views of all upcounty resi-
dents rather than "a small group"
The landowners association has
filed an injunction suit to block
the coming ordinance before its
February l effective date.
The Council was also faced with
prospects of having to raise the
county and state tax rates by eight
cents.
A letter from the State Board
of Public works instructed the
Council to levy an II cents tax
rate in place of the present 81
cent rate on all asseSsable real
and personal property during
1855.
At the same time acting county
manager Mason A. Butcher told
the Council proposed 70Hs rate
hike by the Potomac Electric
Power Company in street light
maintenance would add two cents
to the suburban district tax.
The Council was asked to re.
wise an amendment to the coming
ordinance adopted by the last
Council to permit establishment
of community swimming pools as
permitted use.
Old Georgetown Club, Inc,
asked the county fathers to scrap
a requirement in the new amend
ment that more than so percent
of the membership of swimming
pool club live within a one.half
mile radius of the pool site.
AS an alternative the club re.
quested that its application be re-
considered by the county board of
appeals as special exception.
The board recently turned down
the clubs application for special
exception to construct the pool
because the new amendment took
away its jurisdiction to act on APP.
plicationS.
The Council also voted support
of legislation to reorganize the
State Tax Commission by separ.
ating its legislative and judicial
functions.

Kansas City Conference
ArOuses Recreation HOPES

1T is encouraging to learn that
we are not alone" John Rausct
remarked, recalling a speech by
Mrs. Dorothy Dolbey, acting
mayor of Cincinnati, in which she
stressed the statement, 1--WE neeC
Citizens For Good Government.
The subject of her talk was the
need for ordinary citizens to take
an active part in their government
and not leave decisions to "politi
clans" Rockville's representative
reported their surprise at discov
ering representatives of two other
citizen groups called "Citizens Fol
Good Government" at the confer
ence, from Rock Island, Ill, and
Warren, Ohio. Although there is
no connection between these or
CARNATIONS, and none knew pre-
viously of the others existence
their aims and methods are re
markedly similar.
"When we went to Kansas
City," Rausch concluded, 1--WE
thought ROckvilIe's story was
unique. 1t is inspiring to realize
that so many other cities have
had problems similar to ours,
and have solved them by united
citizen action. We can learn
much from these other cities
about how to solve our recrea-
ton problems. It's going to
take a lot of work by a lot of
people. The mayor and council
can't do it alone. But l believe
that the people who worked so
hard for good government will
work together again to give the
youngsters what they need. It's
been done elsewhere, and we can
do it here!"
The Board of egg directed that
unused money contributed for the
expenses of the Kansas City trip
be returned to the contributors on
a pro-rata basis, with an account
of the expenditures.

HELENA-Rep. Lee Metcalf Cd

tinguished service to conservation
during the 83rd Congress.
The citation by the Helena Wildlife
Association said that group is 'justly
proud of Metcalf's unceasing activity
in behalf of conservation of our wild
life and natural resources"
In a letter accompanying the cita-
ton voted at the October meeting,
Metcalf was asked to accept this
commeEda.ion as not only thanks for
past services to sportsmen and con-
servationists, but also as an encourage
ment to keep up the good work"
Action by the local group followed
by three months the citation of Met
calf by five national conservation
organizations. Of Metcalf, the Izaak
Walton League, National Parks AS
ISOLATION, National Wildlife Fedora
ton, Wilderness Society and Wildlife
Management Institute said in part:
Lee Metcalf has emerged as
a defender of the principles of better
management and wise use of natural
resources for the benefit of all the
people.
among his many achievements
. he was a foremost leader in sue
cessful actions that turned aside at
tempts by those who chose to over
look the fundamental privileges of |
all Americans in the national forest |
lands in order to obtain special con-
cessions for minority groups; he spon-
sored legislation that would make
possible improved management of
public domain lands; and he directed
the attention of Congress to the di-
version of duck stamp funds while
for adequate appropria-
tons with which to fulfill the duties
and responsibilities of the U. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service"
