Plans toChanqe
Road Code Set

Montgomery County Manager
M. L. Reese said yesterday coun-
ty engineers are expected to re-
wise a set of county road code
provisions by the middle of next
month.
Under study are proposals for
undermining the 5la year old
ordinance which lists road stand
ards. the county manager said.
County Council members, on
Tuesday, requested that possible
code revisions be submitted.
Earlier, the council voted five to
one to cancel a public hearing
Originally scheduled for next
Tuesday on a proposed amend
'ment to one section of the code.
The proposal would have al
lowed county officials to waive,
under special conditions. re-
qulrements governing the thick
ness of pavement in residential
areas.
The hearing had been sched-
uled earlier this month by the
council after road inspectors
declared pavements in a Gath
ersburg subdivision under con-
struction did not comply with
the code.
1t was held that pavement
depth in the Rosemont SUBJ
division, a Eugene B. Casey de-
velopment, was not sufficient for
areas of the subdivision outside
the corporate limits of Gathers
burg. RoSemont builders have

nance. would take at least un-
til fall to complete.
Since adoption of the county's
present ordinance in 1949, county
officials have left approval of
residential development in the
hands of the planning commits
sion.
Developers, it was explained at
yesterdays session, have been
able to construct subdivisions
without any reZoning. providing
the areas were served by water
and sewer facilities and met SUBJ
division regulations of the COM
mission.
Fred w. Tuemmler, Hyattsville
planning consultant, and former
director of planning for the
planning commission, said the
arrangement came about at the
time of the ordinances adoption
by agreement between the county
commissioners then in Office and
the planning commission.
Practice Developed
Over the years. it had become
the accepted practice for the
planners to approve residential
subdivisions without the county
commissioners exercising control
over development in R-R zones
as they we're empowered to do
under the ordinance.
Discovery of this situation
necessitated on Wednesday the
mass rezoning of 70 already
completed subdivisions from the
R-R to the R-55 zone to make
them conform with LOCALITIES of
the coming ordinance.
The county commissioners said
yesterday they are now requiring
their subdividers to apply for
any R-55 coming. Subdivisions
having access to water and sewer
facilities probably will be granted
the coming change. Other cases
will be considered on their merits.
Mr.. Baggett said.
1t was indicated the board will

building until the new
providing the larger
lot sizes is approved.

Prince Georges County is head
ed for major revision of its
coming ordinance this year be-
cause it was recently discovered
the County Commissioners have
not had the opportunity to pass
on coming for residential SUBJ
divisions.
The commissioners, after an
all-day meeting in Hyattsville
with c. Warren Giaque. plannel
for the Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion, pressed for immediate ac-
ton from the commission on de-
velopment of the new ordinance
and a related coming map.
Under present coming regula-
tionS, Single-family residential
areas in Prince Georges fall into
two categories: The R-R zone
with a minimum lot size of TO-
900 square feet, or the R-55
zone with a minimum lot size OF
$500 square feet
The new ordinance under
preparation by Mr.. Giaque
would provide the county with
intermediate residential zones
such as R-60 for lot sizes of
5000 square feet and R-80 for
lots of 5000 square feet.
Small Lots Developed
The commissioners are smart
ing under present regulations,
which have enabled developers
to cover almost completely the
county's vast Metropolitan Area
with small lot sizes of $500
square feet, resulting in high
density single-family units with
little variation from one COM
immunity to another.
Commissioner Herbert w,
Reichelt summed up the boards
feelings yesterday by asking
why can't we try to encourage
construction of more expensive
homes in the county?"
Board Chairman Jesse S. Bag
gett said, Il don't think we
! should continue all these low
cost housing programs which re-
suit in burden on the county's
tax structure"
Other board members agreed
with Commissioner Reichelt that
the county "is now at the cross
roads where definite decisions
must be made Immediately on
policies governing residential
coming for undeveloped land on
the Metropolitan Areas fringe.
Rules Not Flexible .
Mr.. Giaque told the board that
present coming regulations are
not flexible enough to encourage
proper development of the
county, but he advised that
there will be continued demand
for low-coSt homes.
He said the new ordinance
could be drawn quickly. The

In Dorchester County, Mr.. Ma

caravan carrying about 40
elected officials and county Dem
ocratic leaders. including Mr..

bottom.
At the head of the caravan
was car with a loudspeaker,
which necessarily announced
that Mr.. Mahoney was "a friend
of the working man."
At each stop, the Democratic
leader of that area would take
charge of introducing the candi-
date to the proper people. most
of whom had been primed for
days in anticipation of meeting
"Maryland's next Senator"
A week ago yesterday, Mr..
Tydings came through here on
his second visit of this cam
paign.
One-Man Escort
He was escorted through Cam
bridge by one man. When he
went out into the rural COM
munities, there were more re-
porterS than supporters accom-
panying him. There had been
no advance notice that he was
coming.
He had a car wired for sound
with him some of the time. but it
was imported from Aberdeen in
his home county.
At Secretary, in northeastern
Dorchester County, Mr.. Mahoney
was escorted through an oil COM
pany warehouse and dock by the
boss himself. Mr.. Tydings never
even met the boss.
Mr.. Mahoney also was taken
through about twice as many
business establishments as Mr..
Tydings toured on his own.
Mayor Aids Mah0ney
At Hurlock yesterday, Mayor
Ralph Milligan took MI. Ma
honey around. Here again the
shopkeepers and political lead
ers had been alerted for a week
or more that Mr.. Mahoney was
coming to shake their hands.
There seemed to be about the
same number of people on the
streets and in the shops for Mr..
Mahoney as there had been for
Mr. Tydings last week, but Mr..
Mahoney brought most of them
into town with him in his cara
van.
