the Wheaton Cab Co. early last
Friday has been recovered, but
the thief has not yet been found,
Montgomery County Police said.
The cab was found abandoned
Saturday afternoon in downtown

home with him.
The cab is a new Ford which
Mr.. Hughes had just bought, and
had gotten out of the paint shop

tags, and no insurance had been
written for it.
County Detective 1t. Jesse Day

City Council Is Split
On Approval of Huge
Shopping Center Plan

A decision, pending since
July 26, on Twinbrook's third
shopping center at Atlantic
and Viers Mill, may finally be
made at next Tuesdays
Mayor and Council meeting.
This week saw a deadlock in
the Council with the vote split
two to two in the absence of
Councilman James Robertson.
Mayor Dickran Hovsepian step
ped down from the chair tempo
rarily to second Alec Greene's mo-
ton to deny the petition of Phil
lip & p. j. Hannah for CONNER
cial rezoning of 2.21 acres at that
corner With Councilmen John
Oxley and Wendall Turner against
the denial, final action had to be
postponed until next week. 1t is
understood the value of the center
is about $150,000.
Twinbrook residents had vigor-
ously opposed the rezoning at the
hearing and a referendum taken
by the Citizens Association in
August showed the majority of
property owners in the entire sub
division as being against recon-
ing.
One point made by council men,
bers Tuesday was that while
these opinions of citizens should
be considered, they could not be
the deciding factor in a question
of land use.
Mayor Hovsepian and Mr..
Greene stated that in this case
they would not be denying use of
the land to the Humans as there
were other classifications under
the residential coming for which
the site was well suited. This
opinion was upheld by Leslie
Able, a member of the town Plan.
ming Commission, who recon-
mended low density apartments
as fitting into the city's master
plan.
Mr.. Oxley, in stating his posi-
ton, said that "in the name of
justice, he would have to vote in
favor of rezoning since he felt
that by granting Joseph Geer:
aert's petition for the Twinbrook
Shopping Center and with the new
APP across Atlantic Ave. the
Hannah land had been made I'M
fit for anything but commercial
use.
Mr.. Greene, in reply, said that
If they rezoned on the basis of
this principle the Mayor and

bility in coming hearings and
opening the way for adjacent
property owners TO ask for fur
their commercialiZation.
