Would Bring City
Water, Sewer, Bond
Powers Inside Code

City Attorney David Cahoon
presented the Mayor and Council
Tuesday with two proposed res
olutions that win bring the city
fathers powers on water and
sewer systems and bond issues
into line with the Maryland Code.
A public hearing will be held
Tuesday at 8 pm. on the two res
olutions which Mr.. Cahoon said
made few major changes but
were part of the codification
program under way during the
past two years to bring Rock
ville's charter up to date.
If the revisions are approved,
the Mayor and Council will be
able to issue revenue bonds and
to extend its water and sewer
systems outside the city limits.
The latter will enable the council
to sell water from its line to the
Potomac which is expected to be
completed in 1858.

County Building
Down 3OP Percent,
Freeman Predicts

Building in Montgomery Coun-
ty will drop 30 percent this year,
Carl Freeman, Bethesda devel-
oper and past president of the
Suburban Maryland Builders AS
ISOLATION, predicted to the County
Council Tuesday.
The prediction came after fig
ures were released showing build
ing declined to 500 million last
year from the all-time high of $88
million in 1855. The figures came
from the County Department of
Inspections and Licenses.
Mr.. Freeman said some build
erS have reduced their construc-
ton projects by 35 to 100 percent.
Single family residence con-
struction toppled from $45.7 mil
lion in the record year to 59.4
million last year with permits de-
clining from 4,676 to 1918.
Commercial projects decreased
from 1872 to 96 with a cash drop
from $50 million to $6.3 million.
The only category that in
creased was private schools. Four
schools worth $1.1 million were
built last year compared to two
schools costing $4,000 in 1855.
Public schools decreased from
nine costing $72 million to seven
costing $2.9 million.

Sidewalk Levy Set
On Georgia Avenue

Commercial property owners
along the dual.lane portion of
Georgia Avenue will be assessed
the full cost Of sidewalks installed
between 1851 and 1858, when the
road was widened, the County
Council decided Tuesday.
Commercial property owners
will be assessed between 1923
and $3.50 per front foot, ac-
cording to County Public Works
Director Mason Butcher. He has
recommended that residential
property owners be assessed half
the cost of the sidewalks.
The Council put off a decision
on how much to charge residen-
tial property owners until a sur
vey of benefits is completed. The
Council has been debating the lev.
les for more than year.
The five-mile stretch of side
walk from Silver Spring to Glen
mont cost $4,000, Mr.. Butcher
said. The sidewalk and street
were built by the State Roads
Commission.

GaitherSbur3
ReViSeS Laws
Passed in 1929

The first complete revision in
Gaithersburg's general ordi-
nances in 2S years will be pro-
posed to the Mayor and County
by Town Attorney Cecil Custer
next Thursday at a closed meet
ing.
When the laws were last re-
vised in 1929 Stedman Prescott,
now judge of the Maryland
Court Of Appeals, was Town At
torney.
Mr.. Custer says the revision
win primarily update outmoded
regulations, such as the one that
requires motorists to halt their
autos if the machine frightens a
horse or other animal. This will
be eliminated, Mr.. Custer says,
along with the ancient 20 mile
per-hour auto speed limit in the
town.
Mr. Custer will propose limit
of two household pets per home
and requirement that dogs ex-
hibiting viciousness more than
once be removed from the town
or destroyed.
He will also suggest that oper.
ators of short wave broadcasting
stations and other electronic
equipment be regulated.
Ordinances pertaining to ION
ing, planning, building, and
plumbing and electrical installa-
tons are not included in the re-
visions.
The general ordininces, con-
corning parking, sanitation, dogs,
and nuisances, contain about 80
sections.
Mr.. Custer has been working
on the revision for about six
months. The Mayor and Council
may modify some of the lawyers
proposals before enacting the re-
vised laws.

held for speculation in order to
enjoy the lower assessment rate.
Mr.. Allen said farm land would

compared with rate of several

It's been estimated the county will
