County councilmen are, how
ever, considering appointing at
least one layman to the new

uneXpired term that ends on

not seeking reappointment.
Legislation Effective August Is
The legislation enlarging the
appeals board from three to
five members was approved by
the council on May 81 and be-
comes effective on August is.
Two of the board members
must be from the first, second
or third council districts which
cover the upcounty rural area.

Of the board members may be
AFFILIATED with the same politi-
cal party.
According to the legislation,
the two new board members
and the successor to Mr.. Reich
must be appointed to three
year terms. This could lead to
a replacement of a majority
Of the board in 1861.
Terms of the present three
members expire on successive
years. Board Chairman William
A. Quinlan, a Republican. is
serving a term that expires in
August, 1859. The term Of the
other board member, Henry j.

Various solutions to the prob
lem have been advanced. The
county council repeatedly has
considered delaying the APP
pointments of two of the board
members to be named for a
few months or a year.
One Objection
This method, however, would
result in depriving the upper
county of full representation
on the appeals board in August.
The appeals boards principal
duty is to rule on applications
for special exceptions to the

Three judges will begin near

double. The town now has
about $500 residents.
The town, incorporated in
1892 claims the additional ter
ritory is needed for future
growth and Ito assure that the
town will grow in an orderly
and systematic manner" 1t
claims it can provide more and
cheaper services to the area
than the county can.
Most of the territory sought
is residential land within the
watershed of Accotink Creek,
However, a large section is be-
ing sought south of the town in
the Pope's Head Creek water
shed. Part of the area south of
the town would be used for in

County officials are fighting

The county would continue
to collect taxes from the an

eventually becomes a city the
properties would be taken of

county cannot control planning

recently ended hearings on the
Potomac budget item.
It came as q result Of rep
reservations made by District
government and civic leaders at
the Congress annual conven-
ton here last month.
Problems Stressed
In greeting the delegation at
the Mayfiower Hotel, Col. Alvin
C. yelling. District Engineer

bership the Potomac--like many
another of the Nations major
rivers-has many and complex
problems that need immediate

Harbors Congress. The Potomac

Engineer Corps on an au-
thorized study.
Authorized 2 Years Ago
Congress. by joint resolution,
authorized the comprehensive
survey of Potomac watershed
water resources in 1856. In each
of the three fiscal years since
then, appropriations for the
SIS million survey have come
to less than one-third of the
total although the completion
target date is 1861.
Col. yelling and others have
previously urged the House
subcommittee to provide $780,
900 not only for the coming
year of the study, but for each
of the two succeeding years.
The great sense Of urgency
is attached because of the rap
i'd growth Of Metropolitan
Washington and the need for
presenting Potomac watershed
interests with recommended
tons that may take care Of
the watersheds many water re-
sources needs into the foresee-
able, If not immediate future.

At previous hearings. Mr..
Gutheim cited reports that the
Regional Highway Planning
Committee might discontinue
it's activities. and warned that
this would leave a major gap
in Washington's knotty metro
transportation picture.
Still FunctiOning
However. Mr.. Harrison said
the committee has never
ceased to function" and that
the District. Maryland and
Virginia "all are extremely
anxious that it continue"
In 1913, the committee made
intensive studies Of area trafic,
estimating all trips by origin
and destination. In 1850, it
published in one volume the
future highway programs for
the entire region in Maryland,
Virginia and the District. In
the last three years. it has been
bringing the 1948 studies up to
date, and gathering data to
project traffic for the years
1875 and 1880.
Expenses Shared
The Federal Bureau Of Public
Roads pays for half the COM
mittee'S expenses, and the Dis
trict and the two States split
the remaining half.
Mr.. MARBLE, who headed the
committee staff from 1913 until
a few months ago. on loan from
the roads bureau. has been
recalled for another assign
ment by the Federal agency.
Mr.. Harrison said the COM
mittee is searching for a re-
placement for Mr.. MARBLE, and
that the past financing Of the
committee will continue. But
he said the job Of finding a
replacement is difficult because
Of money limitations and a
scarcity of traffic engineers
capable of filing the post.
