Plans for construction Of q
|$2.5 million LUXURY apartment
house on upper Connecticut ave-
nue. were disclosed today at the
District Building.
The proposed building, to be
located In the short block be-
tween Cumberland and Daven-
port streets. would be eight
stories high, contain 100 dwelling
units and accommodations for $50
tenant automobiles in q two
and-a-half story deep basement.
The project was brought to
the attention Of the District
zoning adjustment Board today
by the real estate investment
group Of Gerson, Samuel and
William Nordlinger.
The developers asked the
board for permission to erect the
door to the underground parking
garage flush with the building
line on Cumberland street. This
would require an exception to
coming regulations which require
garage doors to be set back at
least rs feet from the building
lime.
Their request ran into the
Opposition ofthree homeowners
who live across the street from
the proposed garage ramp.
Through Attorney Cornelius j.
McCool, these residents con-
tended that this location would
create a nuisance along Cumber-
land street due to the noise and
traffic.
Mr.. Mccool, urging rejection Of
the builders request, said that
the garage entrance should be
located in the middle OF the
proposed building facing an alley
which runs parallel to Connecti-
cut avenue.
The Nordlingers and their
architects, Berla and Abel. said
that this location would be UNI
feasible. They further contended
that If the board grants their
plea, they win be able to inclose
the garage ramp, thus cutting
down much Of the trafiic noise.
The 2oning body took the
petition under advisement.
The board also accepted for
study a revised site plan for q
$6.6 million public housing
project Of the National Capital
Housing Authority In Southwest
Washington.

Attorney Andrew A. Lipscomb.
Al, acting as spokesman for the
Rollingwood Community Assoc
citation, said the group would act
against Dr.. Norris rather than
against the School Board "since
the board appears TO have abro-
gated its authority TO Or. Norris
in this case"
The decision to resort To legal
action to block the transfer Of
the colored students came at o
meeting Of members Of the Rol-
1ingwood group in front Of the
Board Of Education building In
Rockville after DR.. Norris had
read statement reiterating his
stand on the matter to members
Of the School Board.
Some IS residents Of Rolling
wood sat tight-lipped during the
school board session.
Lists Four Reasons
The school superintendent said
his decision to transfer Negro
students from the now-closed
Linden, River Road, Takoma and
Ken Gar Negro Schools to Nc
Kenney Hills, Woodlin and Roll
lingwood Schools was based on
the following four considerations:
l.. The welfare Of al the chill
dren.
2. The caliber Of the total in
struction program In all the
schools affected.
8. The disturbing Of as few
children as possible BY the
transfer.
4. The establishment Of per-
manent school areas "as soon as
possible"
He answered critics who have
noted that LyttonsviIle is 2 miles
from the Rollingwood School and
thus would require school bus
service by pointing out that
Rosemary Hills children are
transported to- the Rock Creek
Elementary School because Of
the hazards Of East-West High
way. Children from LyttOnsville,
he said. would have merited the
same transportation.
Rejects Rock Greek Plan
To those who have said that
the Linden pupils should be
transferred to the Rock Greek
Elementary School. since it Is
closer to the Lyttonsville area
than Rollingwood, and that Rock
Creeks excess Of white children
could then be handled by Roll
ingwood. DR.. Norris gave an en-
phatic mo"
He said that had such q trans
fer been made, Rock Greek
would have faced q threshold
problem Of having some Of its
children temporarily housed Of
Rollingwood, q need for others
to remain on double sessions
and the introduction of the
problem of integration while on
double sessions.
After the reading Of DR.. Nor.
ris' report, the School Board
president, Willard G. McGraw
told the Rollingwood group ant
! small delegation from Lyttons-
vile that the length of the eve

discussion be heard.
