The council by a 4-to-2 vote,
approved the purchase of a
two-acre tract at Arson street
and First avenue. The decision,
which appeared to end a s.
year controversy over the loca-

ed his vote.
Mr.. Knowles said a site near
the intersection of Sligo avenue
and Fenton street in lower Sill

the arm for land values in the
area.
Leading the tight for the
Arson street site since the
council rejected twice a third
site adjacent to the Silver
Spring Library on Colesville
road have been County Mana
ger M. L. Reese and Council
men David L. Cahoon Houston
McCeney.
Mr.. Reese has contended
that the Arson street site alone
the northern fringes of the
business area would be more
centrally located for the sec.
ton of the county police viii
serve. The county now ha.
under construction another
police station in the Wheaton
area.
