Bike Licenses
Being Weighed
by GOuncilmen

A law to require licensing and
registration of bicycles is under
consideration by the County
Council.
Under the proposed measure,
introduced by Councilman Jerry
T. Williams, bicycle owners face
a maximum license fee of so
cents.
Violations would be punishable
by $40 fines.
Introduction of the measure
was prompted by the large num-
bers of lost BICYCLES which can
not be returned because owners
cannot be traced. Council mem
bers feel it will also cut down
on the number of stolen BICYCLES.
Other legislation introduced
was an enabling bill to regulate
pawnbrokers and bill TO require
certificates of plats by the assess.
ment division before they are
recorded in circuit court.
The Council also directed Coun.
ty Manager M. L. Reese and
County Attorney Charles M. Ire
Ian to study the ACCESSIBILITY of
reviVing the long inactive county
housing authority.

US. City
May Come
To County

Hopes that the up-county
could get the $40 million
Atomic Energy Commission
building and still receive taxes
from the land and the struc-
ture were dashed this week.
At the same time, however,
the county was mentioned as
the home of the proposed new
1924 million 'Flittle Federal
City,.
Last week residents of the
Clarksburg Boyds German
town Poolesville areas were
cheered by the statement of U. S.
Senator John M. Butler of Mary
land that the Federal Govern
ment is considering that part of
the county as the logical place
for the construction of the $40
million Acc office building.
One factor in the general ella
ton that greeted the news was
the understanding that the Fed
eral Government would lease the
land and the building from
private owners which would
allow the property to stay on
the county tax rolls thus provid-
ing sorely needed revenue at a
much higher assessment rate.
This hope was blasted this
week when it was learned that
the Acc has secured from Con-
gress the right to purchase its
own land and erect its own
building. Made necessary be-
cause of the many special
security features which must be
incorporated in the home of
Americas top secret agency, this
means that the county will be
3 unable to tax the property.
The up-county area was still
considered the leading contender
for the home of the Acc, how
ever, and many residents of the
area were greeting the prospect
with mixed emotions.

$40 Million Acc Plan Hits County Taxes
Acts to Cut
Red Tape
In Courts

Failure by Governor McKeldin
to re-appoint Alfred D. Noyes as
county juvenile court magistrate
probably won't make a whit of
difference in day-to-day opera,
ton of his court for the next 40
days.
In an unprecedented action,
the County Council Tuesday
named Noyes as referee" for the
juvenile court.
McKeldin appointed Demo
cratic lawyers John B. Diamond,
III, and Einar Christensen as
interim magistrates but said he
could not name Noyes because
his appointment had been pre-
viously blocked by the State
Senate.
In his temporary role as
referee Noyes will hear testimony
and make recommendations to
the two magistrates. He cannot
render final decisions.
County Attorney Charles M
Irelan pointed out that his recon-
mendations will probably be fol-
lowed by Diamond and Christen-
sen although technically they are
not bound by them.
The arrangement, Irelan said,
was worked out to continue the
sensible and effective operation
of juvenile court"
Noyes will serve during the
40 day interim period at his
regular salary of $4,000 annu-
ally.
When the new Peoples Court
is organized on June Is, the three
interim appointees will take over
the eight-year full-time court
posts.

PROPOSE CITY, WIDE PARKING LOT IA
All Rockville Business
Property Would Bear
Assessments in Plan

Rockville moved a step clos
err to the solution of it's bust
ness district parking problem
Tuesday night, but the pro-
posed solution calls for the
sharing of the tax burden by
all commercial property own
ers.
This was the decision of the
City's Mayor and Council
subject to a public hearing on
the matter on May 25. The
recommendation, which lean
ed heavily on previous Board
of Trade parking surveys, was
made by the city's traffic adj
visory committee.
The proposal would assess at
the rate of 40 cents per 500 of
evaluation on both real and per-
sonal developed commercial prop
erty. The rate would be 20 cents
per 500 for undeveloped CONNER
cial and industrial property.
The proposal received favor
on the grounds that, while all
owners of commercial property
within the corporate limits of
Rockville may not receive direct
benefits from the parking lots,
all will receive indirect benefits.
If the plan is approved at the
May IS public hearing, it will be
included in the new budget COM
ing up in June.
The City authorities also estab-
lished three priority zones to be
taken care of in order in the park
ing lot plan. They are:
l. The area bounded by Perry
st. on the West, Jefferson or
Park Ave. on the East. and Com
merce La. on the North.
2. The East Montgomery,
Bridge st. and Commerce La.
area.
3. The tract bounded by Com.
merce La. and Middle La. East
of Washington and West of
Fayette.
Glen Koepenick and Morris
Stern told the Mayor and Council
that strong business sentiment
exists in favor of the project. No
opposition was expressed at the
meeting Tuesday night.
Joseph Geeraert made formal
offer of Bulls tract buildings and
land TO the City for a civic cen
ter. He quoted a price of 100000
for the building Meadow Hall
and supplemental structures, and
$2500 per acre for as many acres
up to 10 as the City might wish
to purchase.
His proposal, as well as the
earlier plan of the Board of Trade
for the utilization of the Poor
Farm as civic center, we're re-
ferred to the advisory committee
on recreation and planning for
study.
The City fathers did. however,
send letter to the County ex.

ton Of the Poor Farm.
