Golf thinks
Hearing Is
Expected

A public hearing will be
conducted in the near future
to allow the County Council
and the public to explore the
feasibility of buying 155
acres between Rockville and
Potomac for a public golf
course.
The Council recently APP
proved a budget request by the
Revenue Authority for $4,000
for site acquisition. The Rev
enue Authority, headed by J.
Ingram Medley, would operate
the course for about 80 years,
or until purchase bonds are re-
tired, at which time the 18-hole
course would revert to county
ownership.
The Revenue Authority was
created last year as agent to
develop and operate such prof.
ects on a self-hquidating basis.
1t already has studied possible
construction of a municipal
airport for the county but 1t
has not taken positive steps
this year on that project.
The proposed golf course
tract lies on the west side of
Great Falls I'd. and is owned
by William Collins and Helen
Harris. The RIA holds a pur-
chase option on the land. Ac--
QUESTION arrangements were
handled by Charles H. Jamison,
former County Council presi-
dent and an up-county real
estate man.
William r. Mckinney, execu-
tive director for the Authority,
said the purchase option
figured to be about $3.50 an
acre, a price generally conceded
to be equitable at today's land
prices for the tract involved.
He pointed out the import.
ance to the proposed course of
Kilgogr Branch, q small water
way that bisects the tract.
Watering of the golf course
could be greatly facilitated by
the creek which also could be
used as a natural game hazard.
Also, he said, the property
contains a large house that
could be pressed into service as
headquarters for the courses
administration and golf shack.
He said he could not comment
on possibility that a golf pro-
fessional might be retained.
One OF the biggest induce
ments of the course, Mckinney
said, was fits relatively treeless
character. He pointed out that
contractors generally charge
about $500 an acre to clear land
Of timber.
Should the tract be pur-
chased - and little real opposi-
ton is expected-the completed
golf course would be 20 minutes
and ID miles from the heart of
Silver Spring, 10 minutes and
ii miles from the heart of Be
theSda, and six minutes and a
little more than four miles
from the heart of Rockville.
