An Emergency
An Emergency
Try to Halt
Eviction of
Olney Aged

Montgomery County Man
ager Melvin l.. Reese has
made an emergency plea for
higher old age assistance
rates to stave off possible
eviction of II elderly indi-
gents from an Olney nursing
institution.
Meanwhile an official of the
institution, Carl Howe, bust
ness manager of the Brooke
\ Grove Foundation, dashed
back at the states program
for the aged as inadequate.
Reese wired State Welfare Di-
rector Thomas j. S. WaXter that
the county situation is critical
and pointed out that other county
nursing homes are turning down
public assistance patients because
of the low $3.50 monthly rate.
Two patients, he said, have
already been transferred by the
Brooke Grove Foundation to
Montgomery County General
Hospital.
Officials at the institution, he
said, told county welfare author
tiles that $150-a-month would
meet costs but S135-a-month
would be enough to allow the pa
tients to remain
Welfare Director William E.
Roger said there are 81 old age
assistance patients in the county
with majority of them in insti.
buttons. Of the present $3.50
rate, he said, $14.40 is paid by the
county, S37.10 by the state and
, $35 by the federal government.

can run medical institution

that rate" Howe said. I'VE Just

Despite Problems
New Road
Squirt Seen
In County

A County road building
program that is held back by
a shortage of technical man.
power and a State effort that
lacks funds: that, in a nut
shell, is the situation facing
County motorists.
Nevertheless, Joseph C.
Kordella, chief of the County
Highway Engineering divi-
sion, says that this year will
set a new mark of accomplish
ment in County road con-
struction despite the fact that
his division lacks 20 engineers
who would enable construction
to go ahead at an even faster
rate.
Because of this manpower
shortage, Mr.. Kordella told the
SENTINEL, the Highway divi-
sion actually has more money al
located-in the neighborhood of
SIS million-than it can spend.
On the other hand, his opposite
number in the State Roads Com
mission, Norman Pritchett, said
that the legislative cuts inflicted
in his program will hold up many
projects passed the blueprint
stage.
One of these is the long-await-
ed improvement of Route 240
from Rockville to Pooks Hill.
This job, which is planned on a
basis of two 80 feet concrete
strips divided by 16 foot center,
will not be started until next
year.
Because the State Roads Com.
mission has had to cut back its
spending to a current rate of
$4,000,000 a month, all State road
projects will be delayed at least
four months, Mr.. Pritchett said.
This means, among other
things, that part two of the Viers
Mill Rd. job-running from Viers
Mill village to Georgia Ave
will be caught up in a delay al
though contracts for it will be let
"Soon."
Bids will "soon" be asked for
to improve River Rd. from the
District line.
The National Pike-made up of
four road and six bridge pro
jects in the Upper County-will
also be delayed in completion.
