Saks Fifth Avenue today

The store site is bounded by
Wisconsin avenue, Belmont

Plans were announced jointly
by Saks and the Chevy Chase
Land Co., owner of the prop
erty.
Letters already have been
sent out to residents. civic as
sociations and county officials
assuring them that commercial
coming is being sought for only
a part of the block where the
single store will stand and that
the building will be screened
from the rest of the neighbor-
hood by trees, shrubbery and
garden walls.
Construction will began as
soon as rezoning can be ap-

The close attention given to
meeting any community OBJ

rezoning for a store in the same
neighborhood because of civic
opposition.
