Montgomery Urged
To Ease zoning Curb

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation has urged the county
council to relax the proposed
coming ordinance on swimming
pools, removing the nuisance"
restriction so that communities
will find it easier to develop

rum in Bethesda, the federation
voted for a resolution which
called also for the adoption of
health and safety of the neigh
borhood' as the key factor in
Judging protests against pools.
This phrase would substitute
for present character and
future development in the
ordinance text.
The federation also called
upon the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to devote so per cent of
it's park funds, after payment of
debt service, to the acquisition
of new park land.
Half of such funds should be
used for developing neighbour
hood park and recreation areas,
according to a resolution intro
duced by Morton r. Shift.
Another resolution urged the
county council to select the best
qualified men to fill the new
commissionerships on the plan

Kensington Citizens
Hit 2 Of 3 Requests

Three rezoning applications for
property in Kensington were be-
ing studied today by the Mont
gomery County Council after a
hearing last night.
No opposition was expressed to
an application for extension of
a shopping center at Kensington-
Wheaton road, Decatur street
and Connecticut avenue.
John M. McIntire, the appli-
cant, said a 100000 extension
of the shopping center is plan
ned.
Mrs. Mary j. Krouse applied
to rezone a lot bounded by Lex
ington avenue, Perry street and
the Kensington- Wheaton road.
Her application would change
the zone from R-60 (residentiaD
to CT Oocal commercially. The
noise and proximity of CONNER
cial establishments make the
property unsuitable for residen-
tial use, she said. The property
is opposite the Stubbs Shopping
center.
Richard Martin, who lives
nearby. presented a petition in
protest signed by 80 area resi-
dents. The opponents declared
that further commercialization
would decrease residential prop
erty values and bring traffic
hazards to children.
A change from R-60 (residen-
tiaD to CO. general CONNER
cial) was requested by A.
Gordon Stup for property on
metropolitan avenue adjacent
to a rug cleaning plant. He said
neighboring firms, including the
Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad and
lumber company. make the
land undesirable for residen-
tial use.
Opposition was voiced by
the Kensington Town Council.
Chester F. Page. representing
the council, said there is no
parking or sidewalks along the
street and commercial property
Is available in other parts OF
the city. He said the area is
considered a buffer zone.
Mrs. Frances c. Morey Of the
Women's Club Of Kensington
expressed that groups opposi-
ton.

C.. Ferdinand Sybert and his
deputy, Harrison l.. Winter, re-
iterated that they feel the meas
ures are sound. They said they
would not recommend a friendly
test case.
Amendments Questioned
There was some question be-
cause both houses amended the
revenue measures after they had
been agreed to by a Senate
House conference committee

mittee's report was adopted by
both houses, none of the bills
mentioned in 1t could be altered.
The bills boosting the States
income which were signed by
Gov. McKeldin, House Speaker
Luher. Democrat, of Baltimore
and Senate President Goldstein,
Democrat, of Calvert included:
/. A withholding system for
State income taxes beginning
July l. increasing revenue from

per cent In the income tax on
corporations. to produce $685., ESQ
more.
Sales Tax Broadened
8. Elimination of sales tax
exemptions from items which are

able in Maryland, expected to
bring in an additional $2.5
million.

the Withholding windfall-
amounting to 1896, 360-which
normally would have gone to the
counties and Baltimore City un-
der the redistribution system.
S. Equalization of gross re-
ceipts taxes for utilities at 2 per
cent, except that railroads would
continue to pay their present
rate. This will produce an addi-
tional $1,319.000.
This tax program was worked
out by the Conference Commit
tee to add about $28.5 million to.
the present income, necessary to
balance the budget.
Also signed was a bill author
