Strip of Pike

With the reZoning of another

residential to commercial, the
Mayor and Council came a step
closer Tuesday night to their ul-
innate goal of making this main
thoroughfare into the city 100
per cent commercial and light

In the opinion of the Planning
Commission this is a more suit

The Commission is recommend

where possible, light industrial

of the tract applied for Tuesday
night met with unanimous ap.
proval of both the adjacent prop.

1t was the light industrial re.
Zoning of the rear strip which
in this case is 1873 feet deep that
brought dissension from the prop

member of the Council, James
Robertson. He voted against the
application because he felt that
the policy of zoning industrial
should be defined before any ac-

Another rezoning application

Hear Suggestions

Rockville had one of the coun-

Rockville's al accident injuries
last year ranked them GAL among

said Mr.. Parsons. He said the
formula for cutting down acci.
dent deaths and injuries was,

While Rockville's injury rate

Mr.. Parsons. Thirty-six thou.

weeks ago to recommend half

recommendation reverses earlier
stands that proposed ten-acre lots
with six zones, and later five

Mrs. Werner and Mr.. Jamison

Mrs. Werner charged, There are
pertinent facts we should keep
before us as duly elected protec-
tors of the general health, safety
and welfare: l find 947 building
lots on 10 plats already recorded
in the up-county; PEPCO is con.
sidering Montgomery County as
the site for its new plant; the
government is considering land
in the county; and spectators
are buying up farms. The Health
Department says our streams
cannot absorb the effluent from
private sewage disposal plants in

tinated for one year. / say three
quarters of the opponents of this

PEPCO Fight
Sees Good
Plant Sites
In County

County Manager M. L. Reese
charged this week that the Lou
doun County, Va, site selected
by Potomac Electric Power Co.
for its new hundred million dol
lar plant doesn't meet the
specifications publicly announced
by the power company.
Mr.. Reese'S was one of many
voices raised this week in the
county's battle to convince
PEPCO it should select a Mont
gomery location for the plant
The electricity produced will be
used in Maryland. Officials esti
mate that the plant will provide
between $750,000 and $1,000,00C
yearly tax revenue.
Meanwhile the power company
is proceeding quietly to obtain
approval for the plant from the
necessary Virginia juridictions
company this week stated "Oul
officials are continuing their dis
cussionS of these plans with all
the appropriate agencies and nc
further statement can be released
at this time"
Manager Reese says PEPCO is
conducting an engineering sur
vey of the Virginia tract and has
promised to forward a copy tc
Montgomery County officials
when completed. The manager
said that Maryland, which claim;
jurisdiction of the Potomac
Rivers waters, will not attempt
to exert that claim until the pro
per times comes"
Manager Reese announced thai
the Virginia site did not NEE
PEPCO specification after max
ing possible Montgomery Coun
ty locations last Friday with
County Councilman Charles
Jamison. Mr.. Reese charges
"The power company says they
are going to use water from
Broad Run. That is four mile;
from the proposed Virginia Site
He further contended, "PEPCC
says they want to locate on the
Loudoun site because it is above
the Potomac flood stage. We
saw logs and other debris wash
ed up onto the site by flooc
waters. That location is not al
the elevation they announced"
Mr.. Reese says he is in "con
slant contact" with PEPCO

venue resulting from a Nrgiinia
PEPCO site was called to the at
tention of the County Council BY

Wheaton Chamber
Votes Decorations

After Vic Leisner dramatically
offered to raise the necessary
$4,000 by canvasSing personally,
the Wheaton Chamber of Com
merce voted unanimously at its
Tuesday meeting to reconsider its
action Of two weeks ago, to drop
plans for elaborate Christmas
decorations in the Wheaton busi-
ness district.
The Chamber approved Saul
Alper's suggestion to scrap de-
corating plans at a sparsely-at-
tended Oct. II meeting, with its
president, Mr. Leisner, out of
town. Reason for dropping the
plan was that Mr.. Alper and other
members felt the $4,000 which the
decorations would cost could not
be raised by solicitation from
Wheaton merchants.
But at this past meeting,
Thomas Oyster stated that in
1852 $500 was contributed by
merchants to promote a celebra-
ton of the rededication of Geor.
gia Avenue.
There were about 200 business
firms in Wheaton at that time,
Mr.. Oyster said, and there are
many more now.
1--WE should give back to the
people in the form of Christmas
decorations, a little something in
appreciation of what they have
done for us merchants" Mr.. Leis.
ner said. Then, he offered to
pound on the door of every mer:
chant" and "raise $1,000 myself
by the Chambers next meeting,
Nov. ID.
AIper Doesn't Object
Mr.. Alper, saying that he still
didn't think the merchants would
go along with the assessment,
but that he didn't object to Mr..
Leisner trying to raise the money,
then moved that the president
(Mr. Leisner) be authorized to
