Two Park Systems
Scored as Outmoded

posed by Oscar Sutermeister Of
Bethesda, one Of three spokes-
men for a special citizens COM
mittee which studied the budget.
Mr.. Sutermeister said the plan
should be prepared in the next
two to three years under direc-
ton of q planning consultant.
Sharpest attacks on the pro-
posed budget last night was
leveled at items in the park
acquisition and development sec
ton. Mr.. Lee scored the COM
mission for increasing funds for
development and maintenance,
which he said have increased
seven fold since 1850.
Discrepancy Seen
Only $114.457 was proposed
for acquisition of five community
recreation areas in the county
totaling 81 acres, while 1891, 561
was slated for expenditure in
the county on the total park
program. MIR. Lee said. He added
that land should be acquired be-
fore its value makes 1t unob-
tainable for parks.
Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Gutheim and Mr..
Schiff joined in supporting bond
issues for land acquisition which
were not included in the budget.
Mr.. Schiff said the civic fedora
ton favored use Of at least so
per cent of park money for in
creasing park lands.
Mr.. Guntheim said that q
special fund Of 0250, 900 should
be set aside for the purchase Of
regional parks.
The civic federation and Rob-
ert Hacken Of the Allied Civic
group, urged the commission to
set aside funds for q co-opera-
tive venture with the county in
establishing public swimming
pools.
A strong plea was issued by
Richard Galiher of the Kenwood
Citizens Association for funds
to complete engineering studies
this year on the proposed Little
Falls Branch parkway.

Sewer Line
Approved

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission has ap-
proved joint construction with
Rockville, of an eight-mile, 81
million trunk sewer line to serve
the city and the Cabin John
valley Of MONTGOMERY County.
Rockville still must approve
the proposed line, but it already
has 100000 set aside from a
year-old bond issue 10 pay its
share Of the cost.
Rockville officials are to meet
with the Sanitary Commission,
but it buys part Of its water from
the commission and receives
sewage service In Twinbrook and
some other sections.
If the new Cabin John trunk
line is approved, all Rockville
sewage will be disposed of by
the commission. either through
its Rock Creek sewer line or the
proposed Cabin John Creek line.
Engineers had estimated that
to care for Rockville's sewage
needs, an 18-inch line, about
41,000 feet long. would have to
be run from the city to the
confluence of Cabin John and
Booze Creeks. But Harry B.
Shaw. chief engineer of. the
sanitary commission, told the
commission yesterday that if
the agency is to build such a
line, it might as we'll be made
large enough to serve the future
needs of the fast-growing Cabin
John valley.
The commission backed up
Mr.. Shaw's proposal to con-
struct the new sewer line Of
larger pipe, averaging about SO
inches. This will cost the agency
an estimated $685., 800.

HaIdor Mohat, chairman of

His group believes the county
tax rate could be increased by
