Extension
OF 2-Acre
Plan Gains
BY Steed Evans
Staff Reporter

Only spotty opposition to
proposed two acre coming
along the Potomac and
Patuxent river watersheds
was voiced at a countrywide
public hearing held last Mon
day by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Relieved Planning Commission
officials later said they had ex-
pected one or more subsequent
meetings. The turnout of IT'S per-
sons was far more receptive to
Commission proposals than those
who attended meetings that
created existing upper county
coming regulations.
Attorney Robert Linowes. presi-
dent Of the Montgomery County
Chamber of Commerce, said that
the Planning Commission ought
to hold a meeting further up
county in order to allow showed
in and mud-marooned residents to
attend.
The public hearing was SEIZED.
uled to get reaction to the Plan
ming Commissions new version
Of coming ordinances for up-coun-
~ areas. Development in those
areas has been at virtual stand
still since the new defunct Upper
County Planning Commission
went out Of existence last June 80.
The county must enact new
ordinances for the upper por-
tons of the county by June i Of
this year.
Is Proposed Uses
The proposed changes in zon-
ing ordinances offered Monday
encompass 10 land-use classified
tons within uniform regulation
serving the whole county.
Most discussed Of the innova-
tons was the proposal to zone
land along the Potomac and
Patuxent watersheds into 2-acre
parcels. 1t got mixed reactions.

Hey Kids!
Hey, Kids.
You Lose
-Four Days
WHOIiday

Easter vacation for Montgom-
cry public schools this year will
start on Good Friday, April 4,
and end on Easter Monday, April
z. Schools will be open the rest
of the week on April 8. 8, 10
and IL.
The curtailing of the usual
Easter holiday Is the result Of
last weeks snow storm with the
loss Of five school days from the
180-day school year. This is the
legal minimum needed to qualify
for state aid.
A total Of six days have been
lost because of weather so far
this year. Two OF them win be
made up by extending the school
year from June IL to June 10.
A further extension in June
was not recommended by Super.
intendent c. Taylor Whittier after
he had polled his staff and found
that n schools were in favor OF
the shorter Easter vacation over
a third week Of school in June.
A third possibility of making
up lost time on Saturdays Is not
feasible, the superintendent said,
because Of the large number Of
teachers and students holding
weekend jobs and also because
Saturday Is Q religious holiday
for many.

RoclSville's Mayor and
Council anal Planning Com
mission looked into the
crystal ball" last week for a
preview of possible future de-
velopment in the city.
The crystal BALI in this case
was a preliminary Master Plan
presented for the first time by
the Commission and consisting of
five maps: Existing Land Use;
Existing Coming; Topography;
Water and Sanitary Sewer Sys-
TENS; and Proposed Land Use.
The Proposed Land Use Map,
developed from a careful study of
the information contained in the
first four maps, offers some ma
jor innovations in the city's plan
ming, including:
Q The addition of a Special
Industrial district providing loca-
tons for garden-type industries
on tracts of very low density. Pro-
posed areas are along the south
side of the new National Pike;
at the Shady Grove interchange;
and the Guide Nursery area off
Hungerford Drive on the city's
northwest boundary.

Fire Study
Report Gets
Brush Off

A long-awaited appraisal OF
the county's fire services from
the Maryland Fire Underwrit-
ers rating bureau this week
received what appeared to be
a brush-off from the County
Fire Board and County Man
ager.
Both the Fire Board at meet.
ing Monday night and County
Manager Melvin Reese at the
County Council Tuesday contend.
ed that most of the recommended
reforms contained in the report
either had already been corrected
or were in the process of being
worked out.
The county manager, after re-
viewing the Underwriters report
point for point, told the Council
he would like authorization to
ask for "substantiating informa-
ton on which the report was
predicated. Several council mem.
bers too expressed a wish for
the groups findings of fact.
The underwriting group, how.
ever, is not expected to comply
with the request on the ground
that 1t has submitted its report
and the county can accept 1t or
reject 1t.
Fire insurance rates are based
on a point-system rating OF the
efficiency of fire services as de.
termined by the underwriters.
However. the report made no
mention of the effect of its find.
ings on its insurance rates.
The County Manager disputed
the underwriters claim that there
has been, Inadequate response of
volunteers" to fire alarms. He ex-
planned that the rating bureau
counts only men riding the fire
trucks. Many volunteers report
directly at the scene of a fire in
their own cars, he said.
The underwriters recommended
that the practice of paid fire
men responding to ambulance
calls should be discontinued, and
this service should be operated
by volunteers or by additional
paid men whose sole duty will be
to operate the ambulance serv-
ice"
The Fire Board and County
Manager countered that taxpay.
ers expect rescue service from
fire departments, so five paid
men will continue to be used on
ambulances for emergency calls.
The Fire Board maintains that
a large part of the underwriters
complaints will be answered by
adoption of dual system of cen
trail fire alarms. A central system
is now in effect in upper county
and another is in the process Of
