The Executive Secretary of the
Maryland Municipal League told
the County Council Tuesday that
the league will seek even wider
annexation powers for cities at
the coming session Of the State
Legislature.
Edmund c. Mester said bill
will be introduced giving cities
planning and coming authority au-
tomatically in newly annexed
areas. Under existing Home Rule
laws a city does not acquire zon-
ing and planning powers if those
powers are held by another body.
Rockville has annexed two
tracts, totaling 225 acres, under
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission juris-
diction in recent years.
In an earlier appearance j.
Bond Smith, general counsel of
the MNCPPC commission, called
the tremendous power" granted
municipalities by Home Rule leg
islation "a real problem"
Mr.. Mester said the MMC be-
lieves that planning must be an
arm Of 'the legislative body that
makes the laws for the jurisdic-
ton" He said he is opposed to

is better government

About RingwOrm

An outbreak Of fungus diseases,
especially ringworm, among dogs
is reported in the county this
week. A similar epidemic at this
time last year died out when the
weather turned cold. Veterina-
rians believe the unseasonably
warm weather has favored the
fungi.
One Rockville veterinarian says
ringworm is contagious among
dogs but doctors disagree over
whether or not the disease can
be transmitted to human beings.
