Visitor Brings
Greetings from
Sister City

A German visitor came to
Rockville Tuesday bearing
gifts from Rockville's SISTER
CITY," Pinneberg, Germany,
a suburb of Hamburg.
He was Gerd Pfeifer, a Ger.
man civilian employed as an
information specialist by the
United States Information
Agency in Hamburg who is on
a three-month USIA-sponsored
tour of the United States.
Pinneberg officials when they
learned Pfeifer was coming to
the United States called him
and asked if he would bring a
group of photographs and some
letters to Rockville to further
the SISTER City" exchange
which is encouraged by the
United States Department of
State.
"These are for my brothers
and sisters in Rockville" Burg0.
meister Henry Glissmann, Of
Pinneberg, told Pfeifer when he
handed him the photographs
and letters.
Included in the packet were
beautiful color photographs of
Pinneberg buildings and scenes,
including the city's famed rose
gardens, and some movie films
and tape recordings of former
Mayor Dickran Y. Hovsepian's
SISTER City" visit two years
ago.
Pfeifer formally presented the
items to the Rockville City
Council Tuesday night in the
Civic Center and Fluctuations
were exchanged. Pfeifer also
paid a visit to the Sentinel Tues
day and bore greetings from
the Sentinel's counterpart in
Pinneberger, the Tageblatt.

Plan to Curb
Soil Erosion
lis Advocated

Proposals aimed at curling
soil erosion in new subdivisions
were submitted to the County
Council Tuesday. by the Coun-
cil's "anti-bulldozer advisory
committee.
The Soil Erosion, Topography
and Open Space Planning Com,
plittee, urged that subdividers
work with the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission to
prevent premature grading
and subsequent soil erosion-of
new streets.
This could be accomplished,
the Committee report said, if
builders would work out an en-
cheering agreement and make
a deposit for the cost of engi-
neering with the Sanitary Com.
mission. Armed with this, the
Commission could work up plans
for water and sewer pipe in
StaIlation before ne wstreets
were constructed.
Unless such cooperation is
carried forward, Lees commit
tee said, Sanitary engineers wait
until streets are in and graded
to full width before making en-
cheering plans for water and
sewer lines.
Excavation after grading leads
to muddy conditions, bad soil
conservation, and siltatiOn of
natural drainage basins, the
experts pointed out.
The committee also endorsed
q new policy whereby developers
OF new rural streets will pay
the Sanitary Commission $40
per building lot in lieu of grad
ing streets their full right-of-
way.
/. The new policy of the Com.
mission tends to minimize the
amount of raw, unpaved street
right-of-way cleared by the
builder, pending installation of
water an dsewer lines. The $40
charge will compensate the
Commission for connecting
homes to main lines at a later
date.

mittee opposed any further cut
in the levy on commercial in
ventories. These now enjoy a
so per cent tax exemption.
Elimination of the personal
property tax on manufacturing
would cost the county about
$250,000, or approximately 21a
cents on the property tax rate,
the committee noted.
Pointing out that neighbor-
ing counties have already taken
such action, the group said such
a move here would help in
creating an attitude favorable
to industrial expansion of the
proper sort"
Also, it would place the coun-
ty ION an equal competitive
basis with its neighboring
counties i'm the attraction of
industry" the committee as.
serted.
In this connection, the COM
mittee's six members urged
that careful watch be main
tanned on prospective new in
dustries to make certain their
wage scales approach or meet
the present $1,000 average an
nual income of Montgomery
County families.
A low wage scale, the com
mittee explained, will impose
more costs upon the county
for schools for the children of
the workers than they will yield
in tax revenues on both the
factories and the houses of the
employees"
In discussing the commercial
inventory tax, the committee
found no compelling" reason
to justify an additional exemp-
ton. The present personal prop
erty tax on commercial inven-
tories brings in about 100000
year, or the equivalent of
about seven cents on the tax
rate, the committee said.

In the 1916 election the Re-

AS an example, in two pre-.
vious campaigns charges had
been made that the curves in

it was laid out to pass property

When this charge was made in
1916, the Republicans through
their spokesman, stated that
there was no evidence to prove
these charges and that the only
position the Republicans would
take relative to the highway
would be to change its name
from 'East-West hwy" be-
cause of its many curves, to
