Council Backs
Planning Group
Reorganization

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil has voted to support legisla-
ton extending the jurisdiction of
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
to all of Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, increasing the
number of commissioners from
six to ten and requiring the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission to submit plans for
major sewer and water line ex-
tensions to the planning unit for
approval. The vote on all three
proposals was SD with Mrs. Stella
Werner and ]. G. Grahame
Walker disappearing.
The proposals will be handed
to the county delegation to the
State Legislature for introduction
at the three month session open
ing Wednesday. In voting to sup
port extension of the M-NCPPC,
the Council rejected proposal to
strip the planning duties from the
commission and give them to the
individual county governments.
This plan was supported by
County Manager M. L. Reese, the
Montgomery County Planning AS
ISOLATION, and a number OF civic
groups.
Mrs. Werner and ]. G. Walker
promised that they would have
minority recommendation for the
Legislature delegation. They fav-
ored the plan to give the counties
planning powers.
Deleted from the proposed ex-
tension bill was a provision that
would have exempted from
M-NCPPC administrative taxes
the new areas taken into the COM
missions jurisdiction. Council
president Charles II. Jamison of
Poolesville said, I'VE don't want
to ride on anyone's coat tails.
Well pay the tax"
The new areas that would be
taken over by the M-NCPPC are
upper Montgomery County and
lower Prince Georges County.
Two of the five Montgomery
County commissioners would have
to come from the up-county area.
Mr.. Jamison briefly pushed a
move to include property owner
ship as requirement for appoint
merit to the commission, but
dropped it when J. G.. Walker
warned that the provision would
hang the Council.
Under the plan approved Mont
gomery Countys commissioners
would be picked BY the County
Council and the Prince Georges
representatives would be selected
by that county's Board Of County
Commissioners. At present M-NC-
PPC commissioners are selected
by the Governor.
The five members from each
county would work on problems
of their respective counties as a
"sub-commission." However any
commissioner could request that
problem be brought before the en-
tire Commission.

Base Unit Rates
For Corn, Tobacco
Announced

The base unit rates from which
payments under the 1857 Acreag,
Reserve Program of the Soil
Bank will be figured have been
set at 80 cents a bushel for corn
and II cents a pound for Mary
land tobacco, reports Chester S.
Bradley, chairman of the State
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Committee. These
figures are the same as last year.
The corn rate Is national fig
ure, the chairman said, and if the
1857 freight differential of 10
cents a bushel is the same as in
1856, the unit rate will be one dol
lar instead of 80 cents. This diff.
ferential represents the approx
mate cost of shipping a bushel of
corn from Baltimore to Chicago.
When the winter wheat acre
age reserve was announced the
Department also announced that
farmers entering land in the 1857
Acreage Reserve Program for
any crop would be offered incen.
tives to designate the same land

land. RockWlIe's new $1,000 street
sweeper will keep the place clean.

trees along Viers Mill Road will

Sewer and Water
The City Manager believes the
sewer line, whose capacity will
be eight million gallons daily, will
be in operation by midsummer.
Dumping into the Washington
sewage system, which eventually
empties into the Potomac at Blue
Plains, the new sewer will abolish
Rockville's sewage treatment
plant and end pollution of nearby
streams.
The new trunk line will make
unlimited extension of sewer lines
in Rockville possible, according to
Mr.. MARYLAND.
Rockville will pay $680,000 of
the cost; the WSSC, $350,000. The
line was begun in October.
