Pruning Ornamentals and
Shade Trees-People often ask
when can l prune my trees
and shrubs" Here are several
suggestions that may help you
to determine when to prune
your own trees and shrubs.
Those that bloom in the
spring are best pruned at the
end of the Towering period.
Trees and shrubs which bloom
in the spring, bloom on wood
produced the year before. If
you trim them after there will
be a maximum amount of time
for growth of new wood.

Unforeseen rock formations at
the site of the County's new jail
on Seven Locksard.. and U. 5.
240, Rockville, have forced re-
surveys of the land and shifting
of the CO. -truction site, it was
learned this week.
Joseph c. Kordella, assistant
to County Public Works head
Mason A. Butcher, said crews
for the Regent Construction Co.
of Washington, D. c., hit rock
formations about 10 to IL feet
below the surface of the old
County Poor Farm site.
Deeming removal of the rock
by blasting to be too costly,
County md Regent officials re-
located the building site about
so yards south of its original
location.
Workers ran into the rock
around Christmas, Kordella
said. New test borings OF the
soil strata and resurveys of the
ground have stopped work since
that time. The County is nego-
tiating with Regent TO deter
mine how much, if any, addi-
tional construction costs will be
involved at the new site.
Kordella said that the County
ran routine soil borings at the
Jail site, but only at the four
corners of the building. 1t
would be impractical, Kordella
said, to sink bore holes at other
than buildings corners on all
County construction jobs.

Near Monor Club
Old Zoning
Thrown Out
by Council

High density residential zon-
ing for 100 acres bordering the
Rock Creek Watershed near
Norbcek has been knocked into
a cooked hat by the County
Council.
Effect of their action was to
lead to eradication of the patch
of R-90 coming, sticking out like
a sore thumb from surrounding
half-acre coming across the Nor.
beck-Rockville I'd. from the
Manor Club.
The Council found that the
coming was mistake committed
by members of the immediate
past Council, even though three
members of that old Council are
still in offices.
The land is owned by Earl M.
Macintosh, jr., real estate man
of 1904 Glennon dr., Bethesda.
1t was zoned for 9000--square.
foot lots only minutes before a
June 1, 1858 deadline for adopt.
ing a Countrywide coming map
elapsed. 1t formerly was zoned
in half-acre lots.
The Council found last week
that there had been no real EVIL
dence in favor of rezoning the
tract. The ruling came on a
AZ vote, Councilmen Jerry T.
Williams and Grover K. Walker,
dissenting. Walker and Will
liams were two members of the
old Council that approved high.
density coming for the tract in
1858. Mrs. Stella B. Werner, an.
other carryover from the old
Council, voted against the ION.
ing then and on Tuesday.
Residents of Manor Country
Club, headed by lawyer David
Macdonald, protested high-den-
sity zoning across from their
larger lots and took the issue
to Court.
Only recently, Circuit Court
Judge James H. Pugh remanded
the case to the Council for re-
examination.
Specifically, he charged them
with determining whether half.
acre zoning imposed years ago
by the Upper Montgomery
County Planning Commission
had been erroneous.
In finding the half-acre coming
to be the right use for the tract,
the Council, therefore, scuttled
the R-90 coming.
ut can be expected that the
Court will reverse (R- 9O)
zoning," declared County Attor.
ney Alfred H. Carter, last week.

Rock Formation Causes
Shifting of Jail Site

architect John F. Siam, said
builders found "three or four
major peaks" of hard rock ap.
proximately where the jaiPs
boiler room in the basement was
planned. Since the extent of the
rock formation was too large
for removal by bulldozers, build
ers first turned to the POSSIBLE
ity of dynamite.
But additional borings deter
mined that the rock shelf was
too deep and wide to justify
cost of blasting, he said.
The new location, according
to Kordella, places the center of
the Jail building almost exactly
on the foundations of the old
Poor Farm building, demol-
ished to make waye for the new
jaips landscaping.
