Encouraged by the peak, initial

Saws Rockville Is Now
At Crucial Point in
Use of Business Area

Rockville is at a crucial
point in it's history where it
can either use it's tremendous
commercial and industrial
, area to good advantage or it
can strangle it's present CEN
trail business district through
unwise, improper develop
ment.
This is the opinion of
Mathew Witenstein, city con-
sultant on planning, as ex-
pressed to the Board of Trade
at its Tuesday luncheon.
Mr.. Witenstein, who has his
own firm specializing in urban
land economies, the Capital Re-
search Association, has been
studying Rockville'S development
since June 1858.
Two courses of action were
recommended by Mr. Witenstein
to the Rockville businessmen for
the development of the city's
commercial land which he de.
scibed as being almost three
times as much as Silver Springs.
The first, remedial in nature,
was program of an integrated
road and parking arrangement
for the central district that
would rearrange the traffic flow
and utilize the present land avail.
able. The present bad" situa-
ton in this area is due as much
to traffic congestion as to lack
of parking space, he said. Part
of the solution would be to divert
traffic from East Montgomery
Avenue down Hungerford Drive
to East Middle Lane and Com
merce Lane.
The present parking space in
this area could be doubled, ac-
cording to Mr.. Witenstein, by
utilizing alleys, back yards, gov
eminent building parking lots
and also a parking control sys.
tenn which would assign parking
space instead of, using the old
laissez-faire method.
The second course of action
recommended is to expand and
develop the entire triangle at
Hungerford Drive and North
Washington as an integral part
of the central business district to
counter balance the present
, tendency to move to the outlying
districts.
If a plan for an integrated
shopping and parking area were
put into effect and no non-con.
forming use were allowed, this
could be the salvation of the
central business area, he said.

Lawyer Charles K. Davies,
Gaithersburg Town Attorney
until June, 1854, wrote to Gov.
ernor Theodore r. McKeldin five
times urging the executive to
request added sewage facilities
for Gaithersburg from the
WSSC. In a March 5, 1853, letter
to the Governor, Mayor Perry
exclaimed, "The sewage situation
in the town has reached the
point of desperation"
In reply to each letter from
the town, Governor McKeldin
stated that he had turned the re-
quest over to the WSSC.
In his final letter to the Gov
ernor on October %, 1853, Davies
stated, Il regret that / must
state at this time that no pro-
gress has been made since the
matter was first brought to your
attention in January Of this
year, although / must admit in
fairness that we have at least
had talks.

from the administration to en-
cheering to legal, etc"
One such talk" was held on
March 10, 1854, between Davies
and Arthur Keefer and Harry

ced that in compliance with an

Cites Lack
OF Sewage

BY Ronald Nessen
Staff Reporter

At least eight planned
building projects that would
have created more than 500
dwelling units in Gathers
burg have been abandoned
because of a State Health De-
partment order prohibiting
an increase in the sewage
load of the Muddy Branch
treatment plant, town sources
say.
Gaithersburg Mayor Merton
Duvall blames the lack of sew
age facilities for the town being
40 to II years behind in its
construction. He feels that the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission has a moral obliga-
ton" to provide new sewer out
let's.
Ex-Mayor Harry c. Perry
claims my council did every
thing but go to the Supreme
Court to get sewers"
In reply, the WSSC indicated
that one of II long range
sewerage plans now being
studied calls for $1,159, 200 for
extending the Rock Creek line
from Viers Mill Road to the
juncture of Rock and Mill
Creek, the construction of n
pumping station ut Gathers
burg, and installation of a force
main to Washington Grove.
By law, the WSSC is forced
to await recommendation
from the Park and Planning
Commission, although IL need
not follow these suggestions.
Indications are that the
MNCP&P ideas will be submit
ted before the end of Septem-
Der and that the WSSC will con-
slider them along with its
existing plan.

Soils and Crops
Uneven Ripening Was No Problem

state checking on crops for growers
that have made application for certifi-
cation, whether it be legumes or grass
es. or cereals and corn. 1t looks very
much like the %, 1865 acres that were in
spected in 1854 will be surpassed in
1855.
Certified seed of all types is either
made or lost in the field and for that
reason each grower is asked to do his
very best to have fields clean and
ready for the Inspector when he ar
r;ves. The rather abundant rains dur
ing May, and in some sections IN june
will no doubt make for rather diff
cult sweet clover problem with alfalfa
and clover growers, but every effort
should be made to see that the old
plants are dug out and that the NUM-
Der of the young plants is reduced 10
a minimum.
Keep Fields Clean
While the young plants will not seed
this year, in most cases they Will re-
main to become a hazard later on. AS
sweet clover seed content in alfalfa and
clover seed is becoming more ana
more of a trade factor, it behooves
every grower to do his best to keep
his seed fields free of these plants as
the tolerance is low and buyers are
getting more insistent that this class or
seed be sweet clover-free.
The producers of certified small
grains should be in a position to not
only rogue the fields of crop mixtures
after the field is in full head, but to
make several roguings, the last OF
which should come just prior to the
time the grain is cut This means that
the last roguing will be done after IN
spection is made, but many OF the bet
ter producers find that it is time well
spent. Unless a good job is done with
all crops that are planted for certifica-
tion. while they are growing IN the
field. there isn't a great deal that can
he done after the crop has been mar
vested A good clean crop harvested
from the field can be polluted in many
ways after it is harvested. Unless the
field is clean, there is very little chance
that certification can be carried through
to completion because the sample that
goes to the seed testing laboratory is
the one on which the grade is estab-
lished. Certified seed is clean seed and
the beginning of that type of produc-
ton is a clean field.
