The Bank of Washington was
no exception for it, too, moved to
BroOkeville and was housed
there for several weeks until the
danger of capture was past
Existing records fail to tell which
Brookeville house was once THE
Bank of Washington. However
it is safe to say that when the
bank returned to Washington it
took all the money back for no
buried treasure has ever been
located in BrookeVille.
In 1902, "a newly invented
machine called the refrigerator"
was developed by Thomas Moore
at his retreat, now Longwood,
the Federal Civil Defense head
quarters. And youthful Thomas
Mccormick carried ice to George
town markets on horseback in
August to the surprise of 1902
shoppers who were not accus-
toned to ice in summer.
BroOkeville was once a thriv-
ing business town with the only
post office in Eastern Montgom-
cry County. 1t boosted carriage
factories, shoe makes shop, saw
mills, tannery, 2 flour mills,
about five stores and was the
leading educational center in the
county with a library of 900
books.
But its days of glory faded
and now its once busy mill races
are hidden by heavy forest and
honey suckle growth and. instead
of water, now contain that
modern blight which the county
has been fighting recently -
tin can dumps.

land holders may obtain eXemp-
ton if they have provided for
public parking in accordance with
City regulations established for
their type of structure.
Examples of exemptions are:
A one-story building that has
space for one car for every 300
So. feet; two-story building that
has one car space for every 500
So. feet. Individual property
owners are urged to check with
the City Hall to find out their
exact status with respect to the
tax exemption.
Efforts to determine the con-
troversy over the approval or dis
approval of a gas station ada
cent to Wisner's on Rt. 240 came
to naught when representative
of the Sinclair Co. failed to ap-
pear to indicate what company
policy would be with respect to
franchises for one or both of the
stations.
The matter is now in the hands
of the City planning committee
which is reported to be consider
ing the matter with respect to a
master land use plan" Specula-
ton as to the motivation of the
committee on the matter could
not be reduced to fact although
some quarters seemed to feel that
the committee would use aesthe-
tic rather than commercial con-
siderations in deciding the mat
ter.

The Brookeville sign, made OF

distinctive beauty with its two
shades of green.

Fathers" and carries the word
ing Village of Brookeville.
Founded 1894. Incorporated
1890"
Brookeville is another of the
few Montgomery County towns
with elected town officials, who
are c. Willard Harvey, Howard
T. Craver and Charles R. Haw-
kins. They are different from
the usual public officials in that
they will not spend the towns
money and now have about $4,000
in the treasury.
They do not collect taxes and
are worried because they will
lose their income from the State
if they do not start collecting
local taxes as well.
Brookevillians lay their claim
to being the temporary capital of
the U. S. because their first
postmaster, Caleb Bentley, and
his wife, Henrietta Maria, shell
tered President Madison in
August 1914 when our capital was
captured and burned.
The Madison House is still
standing and in good condition.
The date of 1894 refers to the
date Richard Thomas built the
old mill still standing next to
the Madison house.
Scharf says that the village
was named for Deborah Brooke
who inherited the land on which
Brookeville is built from James
Brooke, Montgomery County's
largest land holder. However
Caleb Bentley, the first post
master, married Sally Brooke as
his first wife and Thomas Moore
who surveyed the town and had
it created as a town by the Mary
land Legislature in 1903, married
Mary Brooke and lived at Long
wood nearby.
Isaac Briggs, who helped sur
vey Brookeville, as well as assist
ing Ellicott survey Washington,
married Hannah Brooke so it
seems safe to say that these
founding fathers named the vii
lage in honor of all of their
wives because when they estab-
lished another village on the
banks of the Patuxent they call
ed it Triadelphia in memory of
their brother-in-law loves.
In addition to sheltering the
President, every house in Brooke
vile in 1914 was crowded with
refugees and the streets had a
traffic jam of OK carts and heavy

with the inventory of biota, a
study emphasizing invertebrate ami
