School Fund

As a result of a meeting be.

and the county manager, the
school Board Tuesday voted to
ask the county council to trans
fer funds from the Germantown

ton Junior High addition, and to
postpone the furnishing of the
hensington school until next year.

had been to raise the $4,000 need.
ed in addition to the $4,000 al.
lowed in the appropriation for
furnishings, by transferring the
money from Sherwood High.
But the county manager report
ed that a planning study now in
progress may recommend changes
and new concepts for the entire
Germantown area. Also the Sher-
wood High excess may be needed
TO purchase more land for that
school.
In other action Tuesday, the
board awarded the contract for
the Macdonald Knobs Element

Board
Book
PLnn

The School Board Tuesday fl
nally adopted its long,awaited
procedures for selecting basic
and supplementary textbooks for
the county schools, but delayed
consideration of extra pay for
teachers used as readers until a
later date.
Wylie Barrow, who precipitated
the review of the procedures
when he objected to certain ba-
sic social science texts last year,
was voted down on most of his
amendments to the new set-up
recommended by the staff in
September.
AS adopted, the steps for select
ing new social studies books are:
referral to a textbook committee
which includes a professional
reader, the supervisor of library
services and representatives from
the elementary and secondary SUI
pervisors; all texts are read by
the professional reader who re-
ports back to the committee, who
in turn selects certain texts to
be read by two other readers who
are teachers in the subject field.
If the professional reader and
the special readers agree, the
texts then go up through chan
neis to the School Board for ap-
proval.
Mr.. Barrow fought to get a
member of the junior college
staff or some nearby university
specifically included as reader.
He was seeking experts in each
field, he said, to prevent out-of-
date material being included in
the texts, which was his main OBJ
lection to the previous method Of
having only one reader.
The board compromised to the
extent of saying that the teach
ers may be chosen from outside
the county system"
The board also agreed to Mr.
Barrow's request to ask the at
torney general for a ruling on
whether it is legally required to
approve all supplementary texts
In the meantime, supplement
tary texts approved by the com
mittee may be ordered without
the boards approval providing
that a list of such books is re-
ported to the board.
This was the result of plead
ing by staff members for the
board TO expedite the method of
selecting books. AS Mrs. Gene
We've Bleu, a member of the com
mitee, expressed it, I'VE are in

Storm
Drain
Plans

Rockville's Mayor and Coun-
Gil received Tuesday night
rom City Engineer Joseph
Rodgers the first concrete
proposals for a major storm
drainage program to begin
this year with an expenditure
Of $4,000, and continue at the
ate of $4,000 year until June.
961 to clean up all the main
rouble spots in the city.
Basing its report on an earlier
tudy Of Gilbert Associates, con-
ulting engineers, the city staff
recommended that the Croydon
Park drainage area from First
street to Upton Street, be given
riority.
Mr.. Rodgers asked that the $780,
90 available for storm drainage
n tthe '56-'57 budget be used to
enlarge the culverts at Seth Place
md Horner's Lane and to improve
he two retaining walls at Hor-
hers Lane.
In addition, he recommended
that, If the $4,000 necessary
could be found in the mid-year
budget review, storm drainage
pipes and structures be included
n the construction of East Middle
Lane which is scheduled to start
n the spring.
In fiscal year SO, ii is proposed
that the stream bed from Hor-
ler's Lane to First Street be inn
proved and the remaining inn
orovement of the Croydon Park
stream, including pipe under the
bypass and the railroad at Park
Road. and the cleaning and widen
ing of the stream from the rail-
road to Horner's Lane be under
taken in fiscal year 80.
The Maryvale area Is given sec
ond priority with its whole drain
age improvement program, in
Guiding cleaning and widening of
its streams and augmenting the
culverts down Crabb Avenue to
be constructed in the fiscal year
go.
Two projects are reserved for
the final year. Rockcrests main
stream running parallel to Craw-
ford Drive, and secondary stream
between Parrish Drive and Thorn
den Road are planned to be clean
ed, Widened and Strengthened.
In the area south of West Mont
gomery Avenue and east of South
Washington Street, it is planned
to install new storm drainage
pipes and replace or augment
existing pipes.
The recommendation for this
area was to include curb, cutters
and storm drainage in the street
construction program beginning
IN the downstream district and
working upwards. II was esti-

amendment to the down-coun-

tised.
Opposition expected from the
builders failed to materialize at
County Council public hearing
on the proposal last Thursday.
Only handful of builders and
no private citizens showed up.
The builders suggested:
1. The limit on directional signs
within 1000 feet of the advertised
subdivision be raised from one to
four.
2. Three square-foot signs be
permitted at any intersection on
approach roads to the new subdi-
vision. The signs would give only
the name of the subdivision, the
name of the developer or seller,
and the distance to the housing
development.
The proposed changes were sug-
gested at the hearing by William
Brannan, Jr., of the law firm of
Wheeler and Brannin, represent

Also submitted at the hearing
was the favorable recommends
ton of the park and planning
commission. Donald E. Gingery,
a MNCPPC commissioner who is
a developer, voted against the rec
ommendation.
The park and planning commits
sion suggested that two direction

instead of just one within 1000
