last Monday night. This ruling
will apply to the work done recently
on Pickard Lane. Pine Lane, High
land Woods, Arrowhead Road,
Howell Lane and Old Mill Road.
Reversing a policy Of years
standing. the Board, after getting
the opinion Of the towns attorney,
John Q. LeGrand, asked Town
Manager Thomas Rose TO draw up
lists Of assessments on linear
foot cost according to the individ-
ual petitions submitted for the serv-
Ice. Thus all the people that sign.
ed a particular petition for the
work will be assessed q specific
amount per running foot for the
services performed on their res
pective properties. The costs Of the
work will not be averaged with
those Of other projects that we're
undertaken at the same time.
The new policy was set after
the Pine Lane residents month
ago questioned the legality Of the
job-contract assessment procedure.
They contended that they had
bought their land with the under
standing that the curbing and gut
tering costs would be relatively
small. They said they saw no rea-
son for their having TO share the
high cost for such services In the
Highland Woods area, for instance
The lowest cost involved in thu
debated project was that for the
tPickard Lane work, $2.20 per foot
Pine Lanes construction cost
ljnst over $3.50 per foot while tina
fof Highland Woods was over $50
per foot.
The new assessments will b
advertised and hearing viii b.
held In February.

Dispute Over
School Site
Aired Again

Rockville's second hearing on
whether il should give Rockcrest
park land to the School Board
for a school site brought no final
decision this week from the May.
or and Council.
However, council members
strongly indicated Tuesday that
the decision TO be made on June
10 will not differ from the one in
March which turned down the
boards offer to exchange Rock
crest land for recreation site in
Lincoln Park.
This weeks hearing brought
out an equal number Of spokes-
men for and against the .ex,
change Petitions were also filed
which gave a majority of two to
one in favor of locating in the
park the school which would re-
lieve overcrowding at Twinbrook
Elementary.
Mayor Alexander Greene and
other council members stressed
that a question of land use was
not decided by the numbers OF
people for or against IL but on
the basis of the best use.
A new proposal from the coun-
Gil was made to the Rockcrest
residents in favor of using the
park for school. The city heads
suggested that this group might
petition the School Board to use
its powers of condemnation to ac.
quire another site in the area.
The only alternative considered
SO far has been a l0.room add.
ton 10 the Twinbrook school
which would make that school
