longing to many owners.
All this can be done, under
the urban renewal provisions,
without permanently tieing up
any city funds.
I'm the long run, 1t should
prove profitable" Greene said,
because the value of all land
will be greatly increased"
First step in the program will
be to assign the planning func.
ton to an appropriate city
agency: the City Council itself,
the planning commission, or a
new body created especially for
the purpose.
Once plan has the approval
Of HHFA, the city would buy all
the land in the area involved,
either through negotiation or
condemnation. The land would
then be re-sold to private inter-
ests for development in accord
ance with the overall plan.
Government financing would
play an important role in all
the transactions, absorbing a
substantial portion of whatever
loss might be entailed in the
buying and selling.
There may be at least tenn.
porary legal bar to some of
these broad dreams. This is a
provision in the state constitu-
ton prohibiting condemnation
of land for other than public
use"
Legal authorities are not
agreed as to whether urban re.

ly involving a public purpose"
can be strictly interpreted as
having public USE"
To eliminate this possible re.
striction, a constitutional amend.
ment will be submitted to the
voters in November, 1860, which
would remove any doubt as to
the legality of urban renewal
procedures.
In announcing the approval
Of Rockville's request for parti.
cipation, the HHFA noted that
the city's population has leaped
from about 1000 to about $4,000
since 1850.
The Agency also took note of
the city's development of hous-
ing, building, plumbing, electri.
cal and fire codes; the pending
adoption of a master plan; and
the adoption of a set of sub
division regulations.

Pope Installing
Air Conditioner
In Apartment

VATICAN CITY, July 8
(AP). - Pope John XIII is
getting an air conditioner, and
that modern innovation is
likely to change the Papal
summer routine. Vatican
sources said today technicians
are installing the unit now and
1t is expected to be in service
in a few days.
The arrival of air condition
ing in the third floor Papal
apartment stirred speculation
that Pope John might not go
to the Pontiflcal summer resi-
dence at Castel Gandolfo, in
the hills about is miles south
Of Rome, until August. 1t was
also said he might only spend
a few weeks there.
Previous Popes in this cen
tury spent most of the hot
Roman summer at Castel Gan
dolfo. Pope Plus XII died there
last october.
