M-NCPPC proposal for the val
ley will be held at 8 pm. on
January Is. in the Walter john
son High School, Bethesda.
Prepared by the technical
staff of the commission, the
general plan has yet to be given
final approval by park and PLAN
ming commissioners. If approved
or amended. the plan is due to
be brought before the Mont
gomery County Council for final
adoption of coming and land use
patterns for the entire water
shed area.
Recommended by the comis-
sion was a 55-acre regional
shopping facility just north of

Inc business group. which
presented its own master plan

conference yesterday. declared
the regional center would be cut
off by the limited access pike
and would be too large for the
watershed area. The agency's
plan for a 200-acre park Just to
the north was described as i'm
practical"
Park Areas Urged
Instead, the alternative plan
urges "a number of local park
and recreation areas"
In general. residential patterns
principally half-acre and 5000
square-foot lots) proposed by
the commission are favored by
the new plan. 1t was begun some
two years ago by S. E. Sanders
& Associates.
In place of the criticized re-
gional business mart, the Sanders
plan would construct a 30-to-35-
acre shopping center on the
northeast corner of the Tucker
man lane-Seven Locks road in
tersection. At that spot, the
M-NCPPC map recommends a
small shopping facility which
would extend to the south side
of Tuckerman lane.

Madison County Commissioners

Monday when they approved an un-

ed several budget increase requests
from departments within the coun-

making taxes payable until jan
uary 20. incidentally, it was en-
phasized that payment of taxes
can now be made in the office of
the Madison County Treasurer
near the front entrance of the
courthouse.)
For the benefit of those holding
bills against the county, it was
stressed that such bills should be
in the hands of the commissioners
for approval at the December %
meeting. No bills will be approved
after that date, and no bills will
be paid by the auditor if not ap-
proved by that time. The books
will be closed for the year after
payment of the December % ap-
prevails.

Emergency And
Suspended Rule
Measures Taken

West Jefferson's Village Council,
in their last regular meeting, took
full advantage of the time to pass
a number of ordinances. Actually,
they cleaned their slate of the busi-
ness of the past year, with whole
sale run of ordinances passed un-
der suspended rules. The only
business not given approval {.
two ordinances tabled early last
fall were left on the table to
die with council. Both tabled ordin-
anceS were concerning one way
streets and parking changes in the
village, and were tabled after pub
lie resentment of such matters had
been expressed.
In the ordinances passed Monday
night they gave approval of coun-
Gil to one which makes it necessary
to obtain a permit before tapping
a sanitary sewer, and imposes a
tapping fee of $3.50 each tap 1t also
set out that violations will be pun
ishable by fines of as much as
$4,000 with each day counting as
a separate violation.
In other ordinances they voted
to give a supplemental salary in
crease to all village employees dur
ing December; voted to cancel the
obligation of Robert Ford to pay
special assessments which have
been charged to him since 1949 as
payment for services not made
available to him; also decided in
two other ordinances to advise the
Auditor against putting the assess
ments on the tax duplicates for
Ford ard two other properties In
the same circumstances.
