Council 0kays
Upper County
Planning Report

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil yesterday accepted the prelim-
mary report Of the Upper County
Planning Commissions perma-
nent ordinance over the objec-
lions of two council members.
The report, which provides for
Ihalf-acre minimum lots through
out the Upper County area ex-
Icept in the Potomac and Sugar
Loaf Mountain estate sections,
drew sharp criticism from J.
Grahame Walker and Stella
Werner, who pointed out that
the commission had overruled
the recommendations both of its
own planning expert. Irving C.
Root. and county planners.
Both said they had envisioned
coming ordinances which would
have made provision for some
Ifive-acre minimum lot sizes in
Agricultural areas.
The preliminary report was
presented to the council by Com
mission Chairman Ulysses Crit
nth. ".
Vote Is to 2
Mr.. Walker questioned Mr..
Griffith as to the commissions
reasons for reversing the plan
ming experts and was told the
commission felt the half-acre
minimum lot size was in accord
with the wishes Of the resi-
dents Of the area and that it
compiled with the County Coun-
ellis resolution of october 10,
which called for half-acre lots
except where public interest was
at variance.
! Mr.. Walker then moved that
the preliminary report be re-
Ijected and the October 10
resolution clarified.
He was supported by Mrs.
Werner but the resolution was
defeated four : t o two with
Grover K. Walker abstaining
after Councilman Charles Jami-
son had accused Mrs. Werner
and Graham Walker Of attempt
ing to confuse the issue.
Mr.. Jamison. a member of
the commission, said that body
definitely had not miSinterpreted
the councils october 10 direc-
tive.
Public Hearing Set
A public hearing on the
ordinance will be held by the
Planning Commission at 8 pm.
January S in the auditorium Of
the County once Building in
Rockville. A temporary zoning
now IN erect, expires
January 10.
In other action yesterday the
council authorized Public Works
Director Mason Butcher to get
ltogether with the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
to begin work on street gradings
and water and sewer installa-
ton In the Lyttonsville COM
lmunity, whose lack OF facilities
has been a target for criticism
for several years.
Mr.. Butcher told the council
that the PROJECT, originally pro-
posed in Mey, 1858. will cost
about $4,000.
Work will probably not get
underway until next spring, ne

needed legislation for improve
ments and modernization. An ex-
ample in question:" he said, sis
the road situation. AT present it
is less expensive to ship cargo
from Nassau to Crooked Island,
distance of approximately 240
miles, than it is between settle
ments on the island Is or 20 miles
apart. The reason for this is that
there are absolutely no roads suit
able for any type of transporta-
ton.
"All the between settlements
transportation must be handled by
human packs via the bush road.
Another bit of legislation l
would like to contend for is for
the development and utilization of
the natural resources of the soil.
AT the turn of the century this
island was noted for its vast cot
ton fields and with modern farm
implements, deep freeze plants
together with adequate roads for
fast moving transportation, the is
land with all its settlements can
be an asset to the Bahamian chain
and a definite means of raising
the level of the living and edu-
cational standards of the natives.

SOIL
The HASTE family has been
closely associated with the Ba-
hamian islands for more than 200
years. Their ancestors settled at
Crooked Island in the Acklin dis
trict and gradually the family
grew and branched out. They were
a seafaring and farming group
and they intermarried with other
prominent families on the same
island thus linking their names
with some of the finest Bahia
milan stock.
One or two branches of the
HASTE family migrated TO the
United States from which come
their forebears. According to
George, ex-governor HASTE of the
Virgin Islands is a close cousin to
the Nassau Hasties.

Because an alert Development
Board parlayed the natural re-
sources of Nassau into a hefty
$40 million year tourist bust
ness, the capital city of the Ba-
hamian archipelago is no more a
mere dot on the geography of the
world, but a tourist resort with
world appeal for its lures and its
sunshine.
Nassau New Providence) is the
capital of chain of islands, Gays
and reefs lying in a crazy pattern
for 100 miles in a south easterly
direction of the Florida East
Coast.
June, 1856, is election time in
Nassau and already one may hear
the blare of the political trum-
pets and the clanking of the polit-
ical machinery as it moves into
high gear. elections are conduct
ed every seven years.
In the House of Assembly
where the laws are passed and
provisions are made for levying
the taxes and authorizing the ex-
penditureS of public monies, there
are 20 seats to be filled by repre-
sentativeS from Is districts into
which the Bahama colony is di-
vided. New Providence has 8, the
island of Abaco 8; Eleuthera 3;
Harbor Island 2; Exuma 2; An
dros 2; Cat Island 2; Long Island
and Ragged Island 2; Crooked Is
land /; Grand Bahama l; Inagua
and Mayaguana l; San Salvador
/, and Rum Cay /.
Announcing his candidacy for
the seat to represent Crooked Is
land is Herbert H. HASTE, man
ager and co-owner of the Saxony
Ho.el and bar, finest hotel facil-
tiles for cosmopolitan occupancy
in Nassau. Three other brothers
assist in the operation of the
HASTE enterprises that include a
cleaning plant and taxi service.

was through their keen business
know-how and frugal handling of
their investments that they were
able to expand from small bar

he can use this business expert
ence as an aid in fostering the
development of the natural re-

that he seeks to represent in the
house of assembly.
