Sparks Fly
AS New City
Heads Meet

A zone big happy family
atmosphere at the first meet
ing of the newly-elected Rock
vile Mayor and Council was
suddenly dispelled Tuesday by
a verbal clash between Coun-
Gilman John M. Rausch and
City Manager John MARYLAND.
Relations between the old coun-
Gil, Of (which Rausch was a mem.
Der, and the city manager, have
seemed strained recently. But
Tuesday was the first tiiie an
argument broke out into the
open.
The subject Of disagreement
concerned an attempt by the new
Mayor, Alexander Greene to cut
down on the long hours spent at
council meetings. He recon-.
mended limiting items OH the
agenda and getting advance
briefings from the staff OH the
subjects TO be discussed.
MARYLAND baked at the brief
ings as not being practical from
the standpoint of the staffs time.
Furthermore, MARYLAND felt
that anyone who wanted an audi
ence with the council should not
be kept off the agenda because
of time limit. He was proud,
he said, of Rockville's "small
town atmosphere that made the
Mayor and Council easily avail.

plants.
