mission, point to refusal to annex
areas in which they cannot per
form the municipal functions of
planning, zoning and sanitation.
The sanitation powers of the
WSSC, incidentally, go beyond the
construction and maintenance of
water and sewer systems to in
clude plumbing regulations,
storm drainage, abatement of
health menaces and refuse col
lection.
80 Both petitioners and city Off
Gals are in agreement that the
natural boundary for Rockville
should be the limits of the drain
age basins surrounding the city.
All the proposed annexations lie
within these basins.
City Manager John MARYLAND
recommends that this be the first
consideration, as drainage within
the area would depend on gravity
rather than the expensive pump
overs necessary to connect with
the WSSC system.
Mayor Dickran Hovsepian, in
response to recent comment, has
said that Rockville has no inten-
ton of empire building" nor 60
ing beyond these natural bound
aries. He has pointed out that
the four petitions did not origin
ate with the Mayor and Council
but with 100 per cent of the prop
erty owners in the areas to be
annexed.
The insistence of the Mayor and
Council on having sole jurisdic-
ton over all areas within the city
limits has a practical basis be-
sides the point that city has no
purpose if it can't perform its
municipal functions. In the opin-
ion of City Attorney David Ca
hoon, residents of the new areas,
who are also in the WSSC and
MNCPP districts, would suffer
double taxation.
He, has found that the city
hasn't the power to make a spec
ial tax area of the proposed an
neXations but must uniformly
levy taxes. For similar reasons,
he presumes that neither can the
WSSC abate its ad valorum tax
nor the MNCPP its special tax
for parks and recreation. This
will create what Mr.. MARYLAND
terms "a fostering spot that will
be a constant source of irritation

By Dorothy b. Waleski,
Staff Reporter

With four decisions on anneXa-
ton petitions pending, the City
of Rockville has the limelight as
Maryland's guinea pig for the
annexation problems arising from
the Municipal Home Rule Amend
ment.
A 1855 act of the General AS
sembly in Annapolis created the
problem of dual jurisdiction by
providing that coming, planning
and sanitation in areas to be an
nexed by a city remain the func-
tons of the agencies in control
before annexation.
All four areas now under con-
sideration lie within the districts
of one or more agencies of the
county or region. The first, and
most complex, is the petition
heard on Sept. 8 of Joseph Geer-
aert, president of the Twinbrook
Development Corp. for 220 acres,
known as the Bulls and Clark
.Winchole tracts.
These are at present under the
coming and planning jurisdiction
of the Maryland National Capital
Parks and Planning Commission
and in the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commissions district.
On the same date, Donald Gin
gerry, president of the Dawson
Land Corp, applied to extend
Hungerford Towne by 127 acres
now under the Upper Montgom-
cry County Planning Commits
sion'S jurisdiction.
Within this agency's district,
too, are the 80 acres of the former
Lyons estate, applied for on Oc-
tober 3 by Burgundy Estates, Inc.
represented by State Senator Ed
ward S. Northrup.
Also on Oct. 3, County Manager
NJ. L. Reese spoke for the present
owner of the M. L. Reese sub
division, Byron A. Chaplin, in his
petition for annexation of g.
acres, south of Baltimore Rd., now
within the MNCPP district al
though not part of that agency's
special Metropolitan tax area
which is a further complication
for the Geeraert property.
At present, indications of the
feelings of the Mayor and Coun,
Gil, along with the recommended

Bike Riders
etWarning
On'DriUing'

Bike riders must follow the
same safe and sane rules formu-
lated for driving motor vehicles
in order to reduce accidents on
the highway.
That advice was advanced to-
day by August G. Detlof, man.
ager of the club in Maryland, in
an appeal to all bicyclists to
strictly observe 10 rules designed
to make bike riding safer with
in any way cutting down on its
enjoyment.
I. Obey all traffic signals,
signs and rules. Observance of
stop signs is important, because
motorists on through" streets
are unprepared for sudden ap-
pearance of bicycles from side
streets or highways.
2. Ride in single file. There is
grave danger when groups of
cyclists ride three or four abreast
on heavily travelled roads.
3. Keep out of car trucks and
ruts. Numerous accidents are
caused by riders being thrown
. from bikes in front of oncoming
traffic.
4. Don't do stunts or race"
in traffic.
5. Don't carry a passenger"
or permit children on roller
skates to hang on for a ride.
6. Always signal intention to
make right or left turns.
Z. Make repairs off the travel
ed portion of the roadway.
8. "Walk" the bike across
heavy traffic unless it is con-
trolled by officer or traffic light
9. Don't "hitch" rides on
trucks or other vehicles.
10. Always keep brakes and
front and rear lights in good
operating condition.

to Answer Four
Annexation Pleas, Rockville
Takes on Guinea Pig Role

be solved if the General Assem-
bly, votes to override the veto
next February. If not, it is the
opinion of Attorney Cahoon, that
legislative action will have to wait
until the General Assembly in
1857.
The areas under the jurisdic-
ton of the Upper Montgomery
County Planning Commission do
not pose as difficult a problem
as this is county agency and
the areas could be removed from
its jurisdiction by action of the
County Council. Mr.. Cahoon has
reported that favorable negotia-
tons are already in progress with
the agency and he was authorized
by the Mayor and Council two
weeks ago to continue them.
At the same time, the Mayor
and Council voted to postpone de-
cisions on the first two petitions
to allow Mr.. MARYLAND and Mr..
Cahoon to reach agreements with
the other two agencies on the de-
STABILITY of annexation and
whether they would join Rock
vile in petitioning to have the
areas excluded from their dis
tricts. An interim agreement on
coming and planning will also
have to be worked out
The Mayor and Council have
repeatedly emphasized their inten-
ton of remaining within the nat
ural barrier Of the drainage basin
but at the same time it is evident
that they are anxious to set up
some plan of uniform annexation
within this boundary line.
One "straw in the wind" in this
direction is Councilman John Ok
ley's statement against "spot an
nexation" in the case of the His
torical Society's Glen View which
would become an island of nom
city property surrounded by the
Burgundy Estates land if that pet
ition were granted.
Another is the Mayor and Coun-
ellis view that Halpine Rd., be-
longing to county and city, should
become a part of the city's outer
road belt. The County Council
has not included this through
street between Viers Mill and
Rockville Pike in its five-year
road program. The city would
like to take it over and widen
and pave it.

Asks County
Play Program
For Youths

A Silver Spring billiard parlor
owner and former member of the
Bi-County Vandalism Committee
has asked the Montgomery Coun-
ty Council to establish an even
ing program of supervised recrea-
ton for teenagers.
j. H. Myers, director of the
Silver Spring Recreation Center,
says, Juvenile delinquency can be
beaten but only by keeping our
youngsters active in such a pro-
gram"
In letter recently to the
Council, the Recreation Depart
ment, and the School Board,
Myers urged, "The time has come
to establish a definite winter pro-
gram with the future idea of con-
tinuing all year round. 1t should
include college students, as well
as high school students and work
ing teenagers."
Myers suggests that the school
gyms be opened at night for
supervised basketball, gymnas-
tics and similar activities. He
also thinks commercial billiard
parlors and bowling alleys should
be employed in the proposed
program. Recreation Depart
ment personnel would be in
charge of the activities, aided by
volunteers.
Myers says that three-year
survey has revealed to him that
though 70 percent of the school
students go out one night week,
half of them "have very little or
no money. He says this creates
lots of time for idle hands with
nothing to do"
The former Takoma Park Boys
Club director concludes, eve
have juvenile delinquency on the
run and our winter program
would keep it running"

to its citizens"
But the WSSC has already in
dictated that it would not agree
to removal of any area from it's
district as this might impair its
obligations on its outstanding gen.
eral bonds. The MNCPP too
might have trouble in this direc-
ton although to a lesser extent.
There is doubt as to the valid
ity of this argument since some
areas have already been removed
from the WSSC district without
causing damage to its bond is
sue. The Congressional Airport
strip was taken out of WSSC's
jurisdiction and given to Rock
vile by an act of legislature in
1858. Also all the land under con-
sideration for annexation at pres
ent is undeveloped so its low as
sessment value is a minor factor
in the total value supporting the
bond issues.
1t is ironical that Rockville
should be the chosen one to work
out this problem. Its Mayor and
Council fought hard last year to
prevent just such situation as
this arising.
At the Feb. Is hearing before
the delegates to the General AS
sembly on the question of extend
ing WSSC boundaries, Rockville
City officials presented a drain
age shed pattern of the area
around the city and asked that
it be reserved for future annexa-
ton to the city.
To do this would have meant
excluding some of the area al
ready in the WSSC district and
not extending its boundaries clos
err to Rockville. The legislation
finally passed respected Rock
ville's request only by not extend
ing the WSSC boundaries west
of the town. No areas were taken
out of the WSSC district.
In the extension of MNCPP
affecting only the area south and
east of the town, the city officials
were successful in getting Rock
vile, Washington Grove and
Gaithersburg, "as now and here
after constituted" excluded from
MNCPPs district in the bill that
passed the Legislature. But this
bill was vetoed by the governor.
This phase of the problem may
