New Arlington
Shopping Center
Plan Opposed

A proposal to develop a COM
munity shopping center at the
intersection of Lee highway
and Glebe road In Arlington
met citizen opposition last
night.
The plan, drawn by County
Consultant George c. Smith,
calls for Transforming q mile
long stretch Of tangled busi-
nesses along Lee highway into
a modern center.
It would enlarge the COM
mercial area at the intersee-
ton into a l6-acre center and
rezone some Of the strip COM
mercial land to residential and
apartment classifications. The
plan also calls for eventual re-
location Of Glebe road through
the area.
Members of the Old Domi-
MON Citizens Association pro-
tested the enlargement of the
central commercial area on
ground it would be an en-
croachment into the residential
section. They spoke at a meet
ing called by the County Civic
Federation and the Chamber
of Commerce to discuss the
plan.

Secretary-treasurer from Mont
gomery County.
When T. Howard Duckett
tof Prince Georges) became
chairman shortly after forma-
ton of the commission" Mr..
Smith continued. Darby Bow
man Of Rockville was elected
secretary-treasurer. The Offices
Of Secretary-treasurer were sep
arated in 1855 and both posi-
tons went to Montgomery
County, with the full under
standing and expectation that
the Craftsmanship would con-
tinue to go to Prince Georges
County" Mr.. Smith said.
II was on the board in 1855
and that just is not true"
Mr.. Morris said. I'VE agreed
to name Mr.. Bourne chairman
because Of his fine background
for the job. The Montgomery
members have never proceeded
under the assumption that the
Craftsmanship would automa-
tically go to a Prince Georges
member"
The longtime understand
ing" referred to by Mr.. Smith
has been mentioned on occasion
by certain Prince Georges poll
ticians, a county spokesman
said. but Craftsmanship Of the
WSSC is not written into the
commission charter.
Similar Agreement
. Mr.. Smith. in his statement.
also noted that "a similar gen.
tlemen's agreement" exists in
selecting a chairman Of another
bi-county agency. the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. He said
a Prince Georges man has held
the Craftsmanship Of that
agency since its early days"
and a Montgomery man has
been secretary-treasurer.
Herbert w. Wells of Prince
Georges is the current chair
man of the MNCPPC and Jesse
F. Nicholson Of Montgomery is
its secretary-treasurer.
Adding to his argument, Mr..
Smith pointed out that the vice
chairman and the WSSC full
time attorney are from Mont
gomery County. An active Dem
ocrat and former officeholder,
Mr.. Smith denied rumors that
he was to get the Craftsmanship
as a political payoff.
1T certainly cannot be seri-
ously contended that Prince
Georges County is seeking po-
litical plums." he declared.
Our members are only asking
that which rightfully belongs
to them"

for several weeks, since Former
Chairman T. Earle Bourne of
Prince Georges declined to

was named to succeed Mr..

his intention to seek the top

The Montgomery County

Georges has held the chair

think it should go this time to
Mr.. Hewitt. currently the vice

Following release of the

said the matter probably will

Tile Reacts to Damp Concrete
BY HERMAN BAUM
Contributing Writer

"A few months ago, the
fioor Of the game room in
my cellar was covered with
asphalt tile. Within a few
weeks after the job was
completed, a dark-colored
substance began to ooze up
through the cracks between
the tiles. The children have
tracked it all over the floor
and II is a mess.
II complained to the COM
pany that did the work. and
their comment was that it is
due to water coming through
the concrete and this is not
their responsibility. We never
had any sign Of water in the
cellar before this work was
done and so I doubt their
story. What is your opin-
ion?" C.C.A writes.
AnSwer-Your flooring con-
tractor is a gambler who is
reneging on paying his loss.
He is correct in saying that
the trouble is caused by
water, but it is his RESPONSE
bility because it is evident
that he did not test the floor
for dampness before laying
the tile.
The circumstance is some-
thing like taking the family
gas buggy out without a
spare tire. You will do it
many times and have no
trouble but that one time
when you have a fiat miles
from q filling station makes
you pay the penalty for your
negligence.
Except where a membrane
waterproofing has been built
into, a concrete slab, some
moisture always will pene-
trate the concrete. The
amount may be very small
and 1t can evaporate as
rapidly as it reaches the
surface so that you never
see 1t but when you seal
this moisture in with a resil-
lent tile floor. the water can
accumulate beneath the tiles
so that it breaks down the
cement and then this oozes
up through the joints. The
tile eventually will come of
the floor.
Another condition caused
by this moisture is the dis
solving Of the alkaline salts
in the concrete. These salts
are then deposited as a white
powder along the joints. If
not wiped up Immediately,
they can cause permanent

To test a concrete floor on
or below grade for dampness
before installing asphalt or
vinyl asbestos tile, patches of
concrete primer are spread
in each corner and in the
center Of the room. Allow "a
hours for drying and then
attempt to rem owe the
primer with a putty knife.
If it peels of. the floor is
too damp TO receive the tile
and the job should be post
poned until a drier season.

should be evident why floor

not test concrete.

that the tile is a grade that

be destroyed by the salts. but
If the tiles take the punish

crete.
