Gaithersburg acquired an
extra councilman last week
and the town charter that
hadn't been changed for 20
years got a new look"
Under authority granted them
by the Maryland constitution and
the General Assembly, the coun.
cilmen adopted a resolution re-
pealing and reenacting the
charter with changes so that it
conforms generally to a standard
modern city charter recommend
ed by the legislature.
The newer version will become
effective automatically so days
after last Wednesday unless 20
percent of the registered voters
sign a petition demanding a
referendum.
The new constitution, beside
upping. the number of council
men from four to five, provides
that the councilmen and mayor
shall run on a nonpartisan, at
large basis for simultaneous
four-year terms. No vote is given
the mayor at council delibera-
tons but he can veto council
actions. The council, in turn, can
override the mayors veto by a
four-fifths' vote.
Cecil E. Custer. town counsel
said he would seek ruling from
the United States Civil Service
Commission permitting govern
ment employees to run for town
office. Under the Hatch Act, he
pointed out, US. aides may not
run for office with a party label.
Because Gaithersburg's elections
would be nonpartisan he expects
such permissive ruling to be
favorable.
Relocation of the A omi C
Energy Commission near Ger
mantown and the expected shift
of the US. Bureau of Standards
to a 500-acre site near Gathers
burg make it doubly important
for government employees to be
eligible to participate in town
elections, he pointed out.
