Area Requested

Rockville's Mayor and Council
Tuesday heard a request by the
Joseph Berlin Construction Co.
of Bethesda, to amend the city's
coming regulations TO permit con.
struction of apartments in com
mercial zones.
Past history of the Mayor and
Council on similar requests would
indicate unfaVorable reaction to
the request. The request was
taken under advisement, how.
ever.
Berlin repeatedly wants to
erect apartments on North Wash
ington Street in the future. His
firm already owns several apart
ment buildings nearby.
In other business before the
Mayor and Council at the Civic
Center, Gilbert and Associates,
sewer and filtration engineers
from Pennsylvania, presented
their preliminary report on sewer
lines and pumping station to
serve the Watts Branch drainage
basin in West Rockville.
The Mayor and Council prob
ably will make recommendations
TO Gilbert and Associates by early
October in order that plans may
be drawn. The city already has
