With County Council cleo.
ton Districts ranging from
IL, 500 population in the First
District to 10000 in the
Fifth, the Montgomery Coun.
ty Civic Federation Monday
night proposed three plans
for Council consideration
which would provide a more
realistic alignment of Council
election districts.
The first plan, requiring state
legislation, would enable the
Council to re-district the county
to make equal population in the
five districts and have two coun.
.cilmen elected at large, as at
present.
The other two plans would re.
quire legislation at the county
level and a vote by county resi-.
dents in the Fall on an amend.
ment to the charter to combine
the first three districts into two
districts thereby losing one mem.
Der; divide the present Fifth Dis
trict into two districts, gaining a
member and adding the Colesville
District and the Potomac Dis.
trict to the first group.
The third choice would set up
seven Council Districts of ap-
proximately the same population,
with one member each and no
members at large.
Other action taken by the Fed
Grafton in the Park and Planning
Building, Silver Spring. was a
vote favoring a charter amend
ment to require only a majority
vote of the Council on all budget
action. The present law requires
a Sd vote for the Council to
raise a budget appropriation over
the recon m end a ion of the
County Manager. Last month
the Federation defeated a meas.
ure which would in effect have
by-passed the County Manager
when the Council acted on the
Board of Education budget.
The Federation recommended
that the Montgomery County
Delegation to the General Assem-
bly, propose legislation which
would provide for overlapping
terms for members of the County
Council. All seven council seats
are now voted on at once.
The group re-affirned its OPP
position to spot coming of any
kind and called for laws which
would make 1t more difficult for
commercial and industrial coming

bly, contained in the entry that
gave Judge w. V. Bouic permits
sion "to remove dirt from the
hump on the city road in front
of the Catholic Church property
for the purpose of filling up
road of his"
Throughout the year were
numerous reports on 'piking" an
archaic phrase used then to
describe road building.
The price of "piking' can be
found in the low bid for paving
awarded to William Carr at SO
cents a square yard.
Another low was the total of
$202.50 for which the council
bought three domestic fire en-
gines and 100 feet of hose.
That was in November but the

Gil called a special meeting to
vote a 5000 reward for informal

note with the council borrowing
5000 on certificates of indebted
ness to be paid back in three
years.
