MClty Manager John MARYLAND
reported that at the request of
Councilman Wendall Turner last
month he had inspected blacktop
videValks on North Washington
\ Nreet and Atlantic Avenue and
N }o) walkways inAtEs4 Twinbrook
rel and found them lacking by
much asy an inch the four
ehes q UAcktop specified.
However, the city manager
pointed out, other projects of
play areas under the same con-
tract were found to be over the
Specified requirement.
4 As a result of his investigation,
1.-THE city had stopped payment of
|S5852.S5 to the Day-Moxley Com
Ipany of Rockville and the presi-
ient Of that company had writ
letter offering to supply
4dditional inch of blacktop
AND regretting the mistake.
But the cbuncil members, wor-
rying about whether the city had
been receivihg its dollar for dol
lar value all along, began to won
der if the inspection techniques
were all that they should be and
\ Vso if perhaps their contract doc.
n Npents shouldn't be revised.
NThe fact that one contract was
w up to specifications gave rise
TO doubt on all the city's construc-
ton and a big worry over the
maintenance problems that would
he involved.
AS a result City Engineer JOS
oh Rodgers is in the process of
i'awing up list of all the pro
Iects completed since 1913. Mr..
MARYLAND is investigating engin.
eering firms to get estimates of
a the cost of core-drilling each pro
ject to test the specifications.
And all this was started by
one unnamed citizen who told
Mr.. Turner that he didn't think
= r ssity was>getting its moneys
fth in blacktop!

Home Rule Bills
Opposed by Group

posed any prospective home rule
for the District.
The group was prepared TO
adopt o motion opposing one par
ticular bill in Congress calling
for a presidentially appointed
governor and an elected l5-mem-
Der city council to serve as the
governing body here.
However, after debate, many
of the members were found to be
cool to home rule of any sort for
the city, and the substitute mo-
ton was passed.
1t was pointed out that many
citizens here still cast votes in
Ihome-State elections and that
they would not give up that
privilege to vote in a District
election.
Mrs. Edward B. Morris. presi-
dent. noted that the community's
junior high school. Kramer. was
second-best in various achieve
ment tests administered to pupils
in the city's % junior high
schools. but still was below the
national average. Mrs. Morris
blamed the type Of courses
