May Is, 1858
Palmer Urges
Prince Georges
To Study Plan

The County Council Tues
day was given a deadline to
qualify for federal funds and
a preliminary blueprint of a
proposed study for an airport.
Final construction plans and
specifications must be submitted
before March 81 and a project
application must be presented by
May Is to retain tentative fed
eral ALLEGATION Of S275, 900, Joseph
w. Mott, Jr., district airport
engineer of the Civil Aeronautics
Administration, advised County
Manager Melvin L. Reese.
Failure to meet either OF
these headlines will result in the
automatic withdrawal of the
tentative ALLEGATION" Mott noti-
fled the county manager.
Meanwhile, the Council author
lied Reese to confer again with
William c. Burrage, director of
planning for the Maryland-Na.
tional Capital Park & Planning
Commission, who submitted his
recommendations on how to study
the airport question.
Burrage advised undertaking a
five-point preliminary study after
which a consultant should be
engaged to estimate costs, reve-
nue. and financing.
The planning director also sug-
gested that the preliminary study
should be sponsored jointly by
the Montgomery County Council
and Prince Georges Commits
sioners.
st Is extremely doubtful that
two airports could be supported
In this suburban area unless one
was OF extremely limited capac-
ity," Burrage stated. IAN airport
located in either county would be
OF benefit to the sister county
particularly If the site were well
located in terms of inter-county
highway access and future land
use requirements" the planner
added.
The preliminary study should
include: ~ an air traffic survey;
W air traffic estimate for future
years; 90 whether airport is
needed and site requirements;
"a study Of sites in relation to
population, highway plans, de-
sign standards and land values,
and, go recommendations should
be made on best site or alternate
site with cost estimates for land
and development and construc-
ton Of one $500 foot runway.
The CAA tentative ALLEGATION
would provide land acquisition
for clear zones and airport de-
velopment, site preparation, paw
ing OF primary runway 1000 feet
by Is feet, taxiway and apron,
according to Motifs letter to the
county manager.

Cab Fare
Hike to
Be Aired

The County Council will con-
duct a public hearing March 4
at 2 Pm. on a petition for an
increase in taxicab rates and also
upon the adequacy of liability
insurance for taxicabs.
A majority of taxicab owners
in Montgomery County have petit
toned the Council for an increase
in taxicab rates and for authoriz-
alton for a time and mileage"
rate. The owners seek 50 cents
for the first mile and 35 cents
for each additional mile. The
time and mileage" rate would
mean that meters would keep
running when cabs are stopped at
traffic lights or at a standstill
in heavy traffic.
At present, taxicab meters com
pute only when cabs are NOV
ing. Customers pay only the
mileage rate now. III, however,
a rider stops to 90 shopping and
asks the cab TO wait. the meter
then computes the time for the
stop made.
Present rates are 80 cents for
the first mile and a half or frac.
ton thereof plus five cents for
each additional rs OF a mile.
Requisite liability insurance
coverage for taxicabs in Mary
land Is $4,000 for one passenger;
$4,000 personal liability for any
one accident, and 5000 property
damage liability. Corresponding
liability IN the District Of Colum.
bia is $1,000. $4,000 and 81 900.

2-Acre
Z0niing
Proposed
By Marge Flynn
staff Reporter

Two-acre zening would be
extended, along the Potomac
and Patuxent watersheds and
north of Gaithersburg under
a proposed countrywide Zon-
ing ordinance.
Proposed changes in the ION
ing laws to reconcile the exist
ing two ordinances in upper and
lower Montgomery County were
submitted yesterday by the plan
ming staff to the Montgomery
County Planning Board
A public hearing will be SEIZED
uled in late February after the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission has re-
viewed the technical staffs draft.
An area one mile wide and
two miles long north of Cath
ersburg would be changed from
one-half acre to two-acre Zoning
This conforms with the recon-
mendations of the Pomeroy Re-
port for high value development
in that area.
Purpose of extending the two
acre coming in the watersheds is
protection of the purity of the
water supply. The twO-acre zone
along the river would extend up
to the PEPCO property near the
county line at Dickerson,
Effect of the proposed consoli-
dalton of ordinances would make
uniform Is coming classifications
both up and down county. At
present, there are four classified
tons up-county residential es
tate, two acres; rural residential,
one-half acre; commercial, and in
dustrial.
Other proposed changes include:
Q Transfer of filling stations
from permitted use to special ex-
ception in the CT zone;
. degrading of offstreet park
ing regulations from 160 square
feet of car space to 200 square
feet;
. Redefinition of duties and
powers of the County Board of
Appeals; some special provision
requirements have been made
more stringent;
. Change in the industrial
zones to allow uses not now
specifically permitted to come be-
fore the Board of Appeals as
special exceptions;
Q Changes in definitions af-
fecting airports, billboards and
other classifications.
The proposed coming revi-
sions would exclude the incor-
porated areas of Poolesville,
Rockville, Gaithersburg. Wash
ington Grove, Laytonsville,
Brookeville and GAINESVILLE.

SIT Million
Park Funds
ToBeAsked

The County Council will be.
asked for a grant of 81, 1885,
JO0 to help finance the start
of an ambitious 20-year pro-
gram for park development
by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
The request will be made when
the Commission submits its 1858
budget proposals in April. Pub
lie hearings will be held in
March in both Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties.
The $1,785,000 total represents
the share Montgomery County
will be asked to underwrite for
the first year of the 20-year pro-
gram. The Commission plans to
seek a grant from the county
commissioners in Prince Georges
as well. In addition, SIS million
will be sought in Capper-Cram-
ton federal funds, one-third as an
outright grant and two-thirds as
an eight-year loan at no interest.
Jack Hewitt, director of parks,
asst week presented a capital bud
get, totaling 1898 million as the
estimated price tag" on the 20
year master plan which was
adopted by the Commission in
1856, following public hearings on
the proposed park acquisition and
development plans.
The budget provides for S15,9
million expenditure for land ac-
QUESTION and SOB million for de-
velopment of the park system in
Montgomery County.
Hewitt recommended to the
Commission last week seeking
only $625,000 from the Montgom-
cry County Council in addition to
federal funds. The Commission,
however, voted to seek an add.
tional 81 10000 from this county
10 include the Wheaton Regional
park in the first.year program.
No federal funds will be avail
able for that project.
To achieve the 20-year pro-
gram, the Commission cannot
use any part of the funds from
its 10-cent park tax which is now
at its statutory limits. The park
tax provides about $752,O0O in
Montgomery County plus another
100000 in fees paid by the
county recreation department as
% percent of the maintenance
cost of facilities used.
After salaries, engineering and
maintenance costs and debt serv-
ice, only 100000 remains in this
fund which would be inadequate
for the vast program the Com
mission proposes to undertake.
Planning officials favor rapid
acquisition of park lands be-
cause prices of land in the subur.
ban areas are rising sharply. 1t
was indicated that the Commits
sion will plead for some share of
the county liquor tax revenue,
estimated at 81 million. This
revenue is always made part of
the county's general fund for dis
tribution to all county programs.

Whittier
Pay Hike
Approved
$4,000 Salary
Favored by
School Board

. NO~NAA~J
School Board voted unani-
mously and without comment
Tuesday night to raise the
salary Of its new School SUI
perintendent from SIS, 500 to
$4,000.
Action came during the first
of a series of Board action SEES
sions on Supt. c. Taylor Whit
tiers $26.1 million Operating Bud
get recommendation for 1889.
Whittier came to Montgomery
last July from the Pinellas Coun-
ty School System in Florida. His
starting salary then was $1,000
more than that paid his predeces-
sor Forbes H. Norris.
At Tuesdays meeting the Board
asked for two more remedial
reading teachers, Winters raise,
and indicated it might ask for
ANU oSiiOOA UuScS.
Mrs. Rose Kramer termed ad.
dition of the two remedial teach
ers, "a very sensible expenditure
of money" Member Wylie w.
Barrow commented, I'm go along
with it If you cut out two travel
ing art teachers. / think this is
more important" The Board took
no action on his statement.
A move by Member Harrison
King to postpone a $22,673 re-
quest for a special consultant to
evaluate and improve curriculum
was defeated as the Board voted
to approve Whittier's 1898, 900
Recommendation for the Division
of Educational Services.
The School bus situation came
up during a discussion of the
5000 ITO request to run the Bus
mess Affairs Division. The Board
okayed the recommendation but
withheld action on the $754.301
Transportation Section pending
further study.
Members expressed concern
over failure to cut bus service
with the opening of new neigh
borhood schools, and with the ne
cessity of bringing children and
teachers to school before 8 AM
because of crowded bus sched-
ules.
The Superintendent had cut the
Departments request for 20 new
buses to 10, a reduction from
1874, 900 to $4,000.
A $774,376 item to run the Of
flee of the Comptroller passed
the Board. The request would
add an Assistant Comptroller who
could concentrate more on de
velopment of methods of overall
control" with International Bust
ness Machine equipment owned
by the Board.
An official nod was also given
to the Montgomery County Jun
Tor Colleges $48S, 800 operating
schedule. OF this, the portion
necessary from County funds
was listed as $170,146.
Whittier's recommendation of
S57-298 for running his own Of
flee was okayed plus his raise.
I He asked for a second administra-
tive assistant, to handle inforna-
ton and publications and prepare
various reports, and a secretary
to help the assistants.
