County Housing
Project Limited

The Montgomery County
Council decided last night to
restrict Rockville's proposed rs
unit Federal low-rent housing
project to the city's Lincoln
Park section.
It sanctioned a contract be-
tween the Rockville Housing Au-
thority and the Public Housing
Administration after voting
down, Az, an amendment that
would have permitted construc-
ton of the project anywhere in
the city.
Reason Cited
Robert T. Snure, council pres
Iident, said the restriction on the
slum-clearance project was
placed because the council does
not want the housing placed on
potentially valuable industrial
sites.
Land on which the housing
will be placed will be tax-exempt.
The county will receive 10 per
cent of the rent receipts, after
utility costs, in lieu of taxes.
The council also heard two up
county coming change requests,
deferriug action on both.
RezOning Asked
David T. Cavanaugh asked the
council to rezone IS acres on
two sides of Route 240 near
Neesville, to commercial use. The
Upper Montgomery County Plan
ming Commission recommended
denial of the application pending
the findings of a contemplated
land-use study in the upper
county.
The commission recommended
approval of the request of a group
of applicants for rezoning to in
dustrial use 1919 acres adjacent
to the county dump on South
lawn lane north Of Rockville.
Owners of the tract are Dr.. Jo-
seph A. Stimek,> Woodrow w.
Neal and Ola T. Neal.
w. B. Mckinney, acting plan
ming engineer for the county, had
urged denial of the change.

ton is following the pattern of

revised to include penalties for
dog owners. Fines ranging from
$40 to 500 for violators were
recommended by Fred Myers, ex-
ecutive director of the National
Humane Society of Washington.
Mr.. Myers. who said he will
speak at the 8 pm. public hear
ing in the Rockville County
Building auditorium, declared
dog control ordinances without
penalties would not be enforced
properly.
Dogs Have Champions
The Council received a letter
from Bethesda man who de-
clared that dogs allowed to play
freely are "a cohesive influence
in a neighborhood." The letter
writer. Charles A. Brown, jr., of
4406 Gladwyne drive, declared
that in a California community
where roaming dogs were banned,
the boy and his dog were
overruled and were replaced by
a painted woman with a French
poodle with a red bow"
A Bethesda couple who wrote
to protest the upcoming ordi-
nance declared that tied dogs
become mean.
I'VE think all children should
have a dog" Mr.. and Mrs. R. E
Moreland Of IA Lucas lane
added.
Mrs. Murray Ressler of 9800
Cottrell terrace, Silver Spring,
urged the Council to pass law
with stiff penalties" She de-
clared that her son was bitten by
a stray dog in March.
Another letter received by the
Council contained a poll on the
dog proposal in which the writer
said that "a Of 81 homes in one
residential block favored tighter
control of roaming dogs. Several
other residents declared that SUBJ
urban neighborhoods in the
county are too densely populated
for roaming dogs.

Montgomery Hearing Set
On Leoshing Of Dogs

Montgomery County residents
who favor leashed or fenced-in
pets and those who believe that
a boy and his dog should be
allowed to pursue happiness I'M
restrained will state their cases
at q public hearing in Rockville
on Thursday.
The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil will conduct the hearing on
an ordinance prohibiting dogs
running at large and barring
canine pets without leaShes or
2muzzles on school grounds.
The ordinance, as proposed,
applies only to pets in the more
densely populated southern por-
ton of the county, known as the
suburban district. The ban
against dogs on school property
would apply only on schooldays
between the following hours: One
hour prior to school opening and
one nOur aICer closing.
The regulations before the
Council provide for the impound-
ing of stray, unSupervised ami
mails, that may be reclaimed by
owners upon payment of a 81
per-day fee for the impounding,
up to five days.
Controls Appear Favored
County officials indicated the
dog ordinance or one similar to
it stands a good chance of being
enacted. Letters from citizens
urging dog controls outnumber
opposing letters by about four
to one. The County Board of
Education recently went on rec
ord in favor of appropriate
legislation for the protection of
our school children" School
heads have received Numerous
complaints from principals,

Mayor Claude r. Warren of
Riverdale, Md, was fined $25 in
Hyattsville Police Court yester-
day for politlcking too close to
the polls during town elections
last May z.
Although conceding he solic-
tied votes for his favorite candi-
dates from his town Office ada
cent to the polling place on
Queensbury road in violation of
town election laws, Mayor War
rem posted a $50 bond pending
an appeal of the guilty finding
by Trial Magistrate Grover Lee
Small.
Mayor Warren contended,
through his attorney, Waldo
Burnside, that button holing
voters within so feet of the polls
on election day is a general
practice in Riverdale and that
everybody was doing it," He
said the voters came to him for
advice.
Judge Small agreed cleo
tioneering near polls is wide
spread during balloting. He called
It "a despicable practice" how
ever, and said, II think this sort
Of practice should stop"
IF this sort Of case comes be-
fore me again. I'm going to put
somebody in JAIL" he declared.
Election Contested
The charges against Mayor
Warren grew out Of a contested
election in which Hanson D.
Powers was defeated for re-elec-
ton as treasurer by Robert q,
Fuerst. and Mrs. Edna F. Wade
lost to Charles L. Graefe in her
bid for reelection as a council
member from Ward 2.
Mrs. Wade's husband. Erwin D.
Wade, testified he saw Mayor
Warren take three people into his
Office "by the arm" as they were
approaching the polling place,
and later saw him passing out
literature.
Gerald Gilmore said Mayor
Warren insisted he and his wife
60 into the town Offices where
the Mayor asked them Ito vote
for his side" He said the Mayor
offered them a sample ballot,
but that was going too far"
Mrs. Hazel McMullin, a poll
watcher, said Mayor Warren was
"in and out" Of the door between
his Office and the election place
all day. She said she frequently
