Mr.. Casey contends he. county
and Gaithersburg officials and
his surveyor erred in believing
the subdivision had been an
nexed by Gaithersburg. The re-
suit is that the streets were built
to Gaithersburg standards and
do not meet the higher county

be taken over for county main
tenance.
The council yesterday voted

Tabled for Week
The amendment, however. was
tabled for a week when Council

he felt it was too general in
scope. He has urged that the

public works office study the
situation, with an eye toward
lowering the standards on some

Would Guard Budgets
In another matter regarding
release of information to the
press, Councilman John TIGER
suggested that budgets and SIM

security documents" are in the
Federal Government.
He said the $50 million budget
proposed for 1867 was released
without consent of the council
last week. Il think we. should
send out receipt forms with all
such documents distributed just
as the Government does secur-
,ity information" he said.
Mr.. Willard and Mayor Bend
helm told Councilman TIGER that
the budget was released with the
consent of four of the seven
Icouncilmen.
Budgets are public documents
and the citizens have right to
them" Mr.. Bendheim said.
Solicitor Curb Rejected
In another action, the coun-
ell turned down a proposed ordi-
nance to require the registra-
ition of door-to-door solicitors.
The proposed ordinance was
drawn after former Mayor Mar

he was a victim of a fraudulent

Opens Today

Plainfield Orchards and Muir
sery Mart, opening today in San.
dy Spring, represents a new en-
terprise for a family that has
farmed and done business in the
same area of Montgomery Coun-
ty for five generations.
The place will be run by Will
liam w. Moore and his son Stan
ley. They are descendants of Rob.
ert r. Moore, one of the original
1874 members of the Sandy
Spring Farmers Clubs.
The new enterprise is the nur-
sery mart, which will sell all typ
es of plants, shrubs, evergreens,
fertilizers and sprays. The fruit
business is an old story at Plain
field - William Moore planted
his first apple orchard in 1908,
and peach trees have been added
since.
Between 1866 and 1917, the
Moore family farm was operated
as a dairy. Through its history,
its owners have pioneered in the
use of farm machinery and new
types of fertilizer.
Stanley Moore plans a three
day grand opening celebration for
his nursery mart, continuing
through Saturday. Souvenirs will
be given away to all patrons. The
mart is on DR.. Bird Road in San
dy Spring.
