Careful Check Made

In the last % years, procedures

Evidently the County Council
on investigation found these pro-
cedures satisfactory or il wouldn't
have voted an increase in the
budget request made by welfare
director William T.. Roger.
The appropriation was raised
from $763, 9f5 to S7S2, 100 in spite
of a recommendation by the
county manager for a cut.
What evidence could the vel
fare department offer that might
have influenced this decision?
For one thing, there is the fact
that out of TIC cases receiving
public assistance last year, only
seven were referred to the States

In C'tOWn
Bank Loss

William r. Young, former
cashier of the Germantown Bank,
is free under $250O bond pending
grand jury action on a charge
that he embezzled $525 from the
bank.
The charge was lodged by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
last Thursday, after bank presi,
dent A. r. Selby disclosed that
shortages in the banks funds
were being investigated.
Mr.. Selby said he still donesn't
know how much money is miss
ing. A full audit is being made of
the banks records and should be
completed next week, he added
James H. Pugh, Mr.. Young's at
torney, said his client isn't sure
how much money he took.
Mr.. Young is charged with TAX
ing the $525 on July Z, 1852.
The 57-yeor-old county native
resigned from the bank June 80,
giving Health" as his reason. He
worked for the bank for % years
and was cashier for ii years.
Mr.. Pugh said Mr.. Young has
made complete restitution" to
the bank by signing over his
home and four-acre tract. The
attorney added that his client has
"cooperated fully" with FBI
agents on the case.
All of the money Mr.. Young
took, Mr.. Pugh said, was used for
living expenses. He said that
low pay"-Mr. Young earned
$500 a month as cashier-led the
cashier to embeZZlement. Mr..
Young has two married daugh-
tiers and a 16-year-old son who

The shortage in the bank was
discovered after Mr.. Young re.
signed, when depositor brought
his passbook in to have interest
credited. Figures in the passbook
differed from the banks records,
and complete check was touched
off.
Mr.. Selby stressed that Ger

Montgomery Countians were

denied by Judge Patrick M.
Schnauffer of the Circuit Court.
In doing so, Judge Schnauffer
upheld city attorney David Ca
hoon's opinion given last year
that the town had never accepted
this street, and upon which the
mayor and council had based it's
granting of the building permit to
Mr.. Kimmel.
In the judges opinion, even the
dedication of the street had not
been proved and none of the evil
dence presented by Robert B.
Myers, attorney for Mr.. Kelly,
could be interpreted as acts of
acceptance by the town.
Judge Schnauffer pointed out
that although Mr.. Kelly is object
ing to the closing of the street be-
cause it furnishes an entrance to
his property occupied by the
Standard Supply Co., he has only
used the street once in an emer-
gency and that his property has
been fenced off at this point since
1915.
The only other testimony of use
of Wood Lane was given by three
men who had used it as a walk
through on rare occasions.
That the town had cut weeds
several times a year on the 49,
foot right of way was not done
to maintain the street as a public
thoroughfare but as a health
measure for residents in the area,
according to the judges opinion,
and that in any event the Court
of Appeals has previously ruled
that such acts do not establish ac-
ceptance on the part of the town.
Mr.. Kelly, according to his at
torney, is considering the posi-
hifIty of an appeal. Although he
is out of town at present on vaea.

note an appeal if he so desires.

Setfor City

Plans for a 700-acre park along

approved last week by the Mary

The park, an extension of Park
and Planning's stream-valley sys-

garden, three artificial lakes with
facilities for boating and fishing,
and parking space for more than
5000 cars.
1t will extend from Gaynor
Road to the Rockville to Norbeck
road, the outer limits of the com

Regional District. The park will
be from 1000 to 1000 feet wide.
Planned location for the recrea.
ton area is south of Viers Mill
Road, with two of the lakes north
of Viers Mill. Negotiations for
purchase of the land are already
under way, the commission said,
but plans must be approved by
the National Capital Planning
Commission before the deal can
be made.
In other action, the commission

State Roads
Puts Freeze
On 24O Land

The State Roads Commission
Friday took court action to freeze
prices on lard needed to widen
Route 240 from Bethesda to Rock
vile.
Acting under a new law de-
signed to eliminate speculation in
road rights of-way, the commits
sion filed a right-of.way plat in
Rockville Circuit Court. This ac-
ton allows it to take immediate
right of possession to the land at
its present value.
Leroy c. Moser, right-of-way
engineer, says 70 properties are
affected, valued by the commits
sion at $636,G00. He said $4,000
Of that is for land needed for the
new National Pike where it Joints
210 at GroSvenor Lane.
The commission is buying that
land now, Mr.. Moser said, so that
1t won't have to negotiate twice
with the same owner.
Route 240 will be widened from
its present three lanes to four
lanes from Rock Creek Parkway
to Rockville. Contracts for con-
struction will be advertised when
the land is acquired, Mr.. Moser
said.
The new land law, which be-
came effective June l, grows out
of road speculation scandal in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties.

board to present some of it's prob
lens to the council, no definite
plans were presented.
1t was pointed out by Mr..
Knight and DR.. Kehne that great
deal more preliminary study
would have to be done before the
type of handicap, the kind of
treatment and the number of chill
dren could be determined.
They stressed the fact that this
would be pilot project both for
the county and the country as
with few exceptions this type of
school is usually privately endow-
ed because of the large expense
involved for relatively small
number of children.
The point raised Monday night
by both staff and board members
was that although the number Of
these children is small and unde-
termined, possibly some 200, it re-
mains constant each year.
Either the school, the home or
both, aren't able at present to give
adequate help to the children who
for the most part are in the sec.
ondary school age group.
Local Care Called Best
The thinking In the four agen-
cies most closely involved with
these children is that the local au-
thorities on the county level could
provide more adequate care than
any other source.
The county council left the way
open for future discussions when
more detailed plans are ready.
None of the school boards pro-
posals require immediate action.
In speaking of the junior college
branch, DR.. Norris said the pres
ent school in Takoma Park would
be over capacity by 1859, and that
the center of population has
grown away from the down-coun-
ty area and branch of the col
lege will be necessary sometime
In the next decade in some cen.
troll location because of transpor.
tation problems.
The elementary school site
should be at Monroe Street and
Seven Locks Road to answer the
needs of the coming development
of the Cabin John Valley, said DR..
Norris. If recreation area adj
joins it, only five acres would be
needed.
