Bond ISSUE;
To Pay Cash

RockVille'S new one million gal
Ion water storage tank at Horn
ers Lane and the 800 feet of
water line necessary for better
distribution will be bought with
cash and not borrowed money,
twas decided at Tuesday nights
mayor and council meeting.
In a mid-year review of the
budget, the council voted to fol-
low its "pay-as-you-go" system on
capital Improvements rather than
getting a bond issue for the $751;
600 necessary for the project.
City Manager John MARYLAND
said that the $4,000 for the tank
could be paid back to the general
fund when and if the SO million
bond issue for a water supply
system from the Potomac is APP
proved in a city referendum.
He reported that the money
could be raised now without cut
ting the $3.50 capital program ex-
cept for four minor projects
amounting to $4,000.
Savings will come from $11, 900
on water purchases from the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, $4,000 unpaid to
Pepco because of the delay in
installing the new street light
n (, $1,000 from the delay on pur-
f.6as'ag equipment, and minor
cuts throughout the entire budg.
ct.
The remainder of the $4,000
was obtained through a $1,000
increase in expected revenues
and $4,000 borrowed from the con-
tingency fund.
The capital projects eliminated
by the purchase of the new tank
will be given first priority in the
1867 construction budget.

Mr.. Belts argued that under the

Junk, Industry
Ban Opposed
In Rockville

The ban on heavy industry and
junk yards in the proposed new
coming ordinance for Rockville
was attacked at a public hearing
before the city coming commits
sion last Thursday. While most
of the small crowd approved the
proposed measures general In
tent, a number of revisions were
suggested.
Rockville's present coming ordi
nance, providing residential, com
mercial, light industrial, and
heavy industrial zones, was en-
acted in 1881. The new ordinance
would establish five residential
two commercial, and two indus
trial zones. City planner Robert
L. Plavnick, and coming commits
sioners Leslie M. Able, Robert
K. Maddox, Chester Nichols, and
Walter A. Taylor prepared the
proposed ordinance.
The mayor and council indi
cate they will hold several pub
lie hearings on a new town ION
ing ordinance after they receive
the commissions report.
The new zoning measure would
force all existing junk yards to
close up within three years. Al
the public hearing Donald De
Lashmuth, attorney for Mont
gomery Iron and Metal junk yard
on Hungerford Drive, stated
"The three-year time limit will
never hold water in court"
Mr.. Plavnick said "as far as
know" the elimination of unde
sirable businesses has been up
held in court. David Cahoon, city
attorney, said he did not think
such a law had been tested in
Maryland.
Mr.. DeLashmuth also asked for
better system of granting ex
ceptions. The ordinance states

view the application and after
