Hospital
WiLLed
$4,000

Officials at the Montgomery
County General Hospital, Inc. an
nounced Tuesday that the hospi-
tai has received a $4,000 bequest
from the estate of a wealthy How
ard County dowager who admired
the appearance of the hospital
Although she never was a pa
tient at the hospital, the late Ella
McKubin often passed it on trips
between her home and Rockville.
Friends said she once told
them, I'D like to be patient
there if l ever need hospitaliza-
ton" Though this never came
to pass, her will contained the
generous gift.
Mrs. McKubin died several
years ago, but her estate has been
tied up.
NJ. B. futile, hospital admins
traitor, said the board of directors
has not yet decided what to do
with all of the money, but that
part of it will probably be APP
piled to the hospitals mortgage.

Bar Head Says
Bar Head Says
People Should KnOtU More
About the Constitution

You - the adult public and
the school kids - should
know more about the u. S.
Constitution, David E. Belts
believes. And as newly-elect-
ed president Of the Mo1tgom-
cry County Bar Association
he hopes to do something
about it.
And you ought to know more
about the Bar Association, too,
he believes, what it is, its pur-
poses and goals.
Belts says he hopes to enlarge
on observance by the bar group
Of Constitution Day, every Sep
TENDER. Next year, he said, he
will attempt to get lots of law
yers to talk to school kids about
the Constitution.
He pointed up public unfarfl.
iliarity with the Constitution by
citing several important passages
of the Fifth Amendment.
Most people know only that
a person cannot be required to
testify against himself" Belts
said, whereas the amendment
also provides that no person can
be prosecuted twice for the same
crime and that no person may
be incarcerated without due pro

Reese Stout!y Defends
School Architect Plan

County Manager M L. Reese stands firmly
by his guns in contendng that it would be good
idea--the county would save lot of money-if
the school board had its own architect
Such a school board architect would save
many times over his salary in the curtailment of
fees paid out to private architects for small jobs
he points out.
And he adds: an experienced man would al
most certainly be able to find hidden expenses in
plans submitted which otherwise would 90 unde-
tected by lay members of the school board.
Last week the County Council hired new
county architect But he will have nothing TO do
with schools just county government work
Reese believes the school board should follow suit
His views simply in the form of a suggestion
The school board itself must decide whether it
wants to even consider the Reese suggestion.
Reese believes in the wisdom of adopting

Road Job
Awarded

A real Christmas present is
being packaged for Rockville
residents and maybe they'll be
able to open it before Decem-
Der 25.
The present: the final link in
a series Of highways that will
enable through traffic to bypass
the city's business district.
Completion date: December 1.
The last link is 10 miles long
and is called Montrose road. It
begins--under the name of Ran
dolph road-at the Rockville Pike
just south of the city line. 1t will
join the southernmost tenacle of
the Washington National Pike,
reaching toward Washington, at
a point TO be known as the Mon
trose Interchange.
New Surface
Inc road ped OF the National
Pike has been roughed in and, if
plans go smoothly, its concrete
ribbons will be tied together with

December l.
The joining Of these two
thoroughfares will complete the
first major circumvention of the
city's downtown section. Mer-
chants long have clamored for
some relief from through traffic
which makes II difficult for area
shoppers TO park their cars on
Montgomery avenue.
The contract for the Montrose
road project was awarded to the
T. Edgie Russell Construction Co,
Of Frederick. which submitted the
low bid Of $153.246. The next low
est bidder was Richard Kline, also

Sale of Parking Lot
To City Is Delayed
3-Week Hold Up
On Commerce Lane
Site is Ordered

Sale of the county-owned
parking lot on Commerce
Lane to the City of Rockville
has been delayed three weeks
pending publication Of a public
notice on the transaction.
The city has offered to buy the
property, which contains 1880
square feet, for So per square
foot for total purchase price of
$63,900 The county has leased
the parking lot premises to the
city for the last 10 years at
rental rate of 81 year. The lease
expired last April.
The purchase offer provides
that Rockville viii pay $4,000 at
the time Of settlement with the
balance due in four equal annual
installments at an interest rate
of 3.5 percent on the unpaid bal
ance.
County Manager Melvin l..
Reese told the County Council at
its meeting Tuesday that the fac
tor of the best use of the land
must be considered. The long
standing lease arrangement inn
piled county cognizance of the
city's needs for parking facilities,
he indicated. Several council
members raised the question that
other private interests might sub
NIT higher bids for the property.
County Attorney Charles Irelan
advised that the public notice of
Rockville's offer to buy does not
bind the council to sell to the
highest bidder and the county
could even withdraw the land
from sale.

Ceeraert
ReneWS
Zone Plea

Joseph Geeraert, Rockville
builder, has renewed his fight
to get a tract of land in his
Meadow Hall subdivision re-
zoned for apartments by petit
tioning the Mayor and Coun-
Gil for reconsideration.
The city officials, who denied
his first application last month,
will decide next week whether to
grant his petition, and allow an
other hearing.
The new petition is being
fought by the same group of cit
liens from Twinbrook Park who
opposed the rezoning at the first
hearing.
Representing the group, Der
nard j. HaSson, Jr. denied Geer'
aert's contention of new evidence
and that cases cited in his petition
from the Maryland Court of APP
peals had any bearing on the re
zoning.
New Development
Another spot of trouble be
tween Geeraert and the city was
reopened Tuesday night when il
was learned that his construction
of a filling station in his new
shopping center on Viers Mil
Road had been stopped for lack
of a use and building permit.

had been heard by the council or

up pending a study of the traffic
pattern by the city Planning Com
