Growth Brings County Many Problems

/ climate concern and the coun-
ty government is genuinely
concerned about it too, espe-
cially because of the tremen-
dous building boom here. The
County Council sponsored an
all-day seminar last year on
this subject, featuring detailed
presentations and lengthy panel
sessions by experts in planning,
conservation, real estate de-
velopment and related special
ties. The Council has since ap-
pointed a committee to study
this problem and make recon-
mendations on its solution. The
committee is actively engaged
in an ambitious research UNI
dertaking to produce findings
and recommendations on this
pressing subject.
TAXPAYER = Zoning is of
great importance in a county
that seeks to develop itself in
an orderly, attractive pattern.
What have we done in this re-
spect lately?
MANAGER - The County
Council adopted a single zon-
ing ordinance covering all of
Montgomery County in 1858.
1t is designed to provide con-
trolled growth while preserv-
ing n tural resources and
beauty. This coming ordinance
enables the county to apply the
same building standards and
restrictions in both the upper
and lower sections of the
county.
TAXPAYER - I'm a home
owner in Montgomery County.
I know we pay the bulk of the
money needed to finance what
we residents want in Mont
gomery County. / also know
county officials are aware of
this because I've heard them
mention it. My question is
this: What is being done to OBJ.
tain tax money from other
sources that would tighten the
burden on the individual home
owner, or at least prevent it
from getting any heavier?
MANAGER - We're trying
hard on this problem. We strive
diligently to attract to the
county the kind of industries
that will help us and are the
type for which residents have
voiced a preference - namely,
garden-type industries minus
smoke, noise and other unat-
tractive characteristics. Poto-
mac Electric Power Company
built a plant in Montgomery
County last year that will
eventually be worth 500 mil
lion.
Atomic Energy Commission
built its worldwide headquar-
tiers here, adding prestige to
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-08-25

the atmosphere of science and
research that we want to Gre
ate to lure garden-type in
dustries. Emerson Research,
General Electric and l. B. M.
are other examples of the
leading companies that have
moved to Montgomery County.
A recent count showed an
estimated so private research
and development firms are in
Montgomery County totalling
5000 persons. All these are
progressive efforts that are
bringing more tax money into
the county.
TAXPAYER - Police pro-
lection is pretty important to
all of us. Have you made any
improvements there?
MANAGER - We certainly
have. The Division has been
increased steadily, rising from
1873 officers in 1855 to 1888 au-
thorized today. We have es-
tablished an Accident Proven
ton Unit and are about to Gre
ate a Juvenile Bureau. The
police training school for new
officers has undergone major
revision and expansion and
now consists of 100 hours of
instruction, five times more
than before.
Recreation Boom
TAXPAYER - What about
recreation? This is always an
important item in the general
mental and physical well-being
of a community.
MANAGER-Our Recreation
Department operates a wide
ranging program that provides
our residents with seasonal
Fairgrounds, adult athletics,
teen clubs, holiday basketball
tournaments, youth athletics,
boys baseball, social-cutural &C.
tivities and golf. Our total at
tendance jumped to 1905 in
1859, an increase of 1886 over
1858.
TAXPAYER-Getting back to
taxes and money for a minute,
can you describe the vastness
Of Montgomery County's finan
cial activities? 1 know they
must be huge in a county as
growing and as progressive as
this.
MANAGER-W ell, the best
answer to that is that our budg-
ct for this fiscal year is $82
million, and bear in mind this is
for just one year. From 1855
to 1859, Montgomery County
collected and disbursed more
than $270 million. County funds
through w | e investment
earned more than 100000 in
the same period. In other words,
ours is a big financial oper
alton.
TAXPAYER-I'm convinced
Now how is all this reflected in
changes, m y b e expansion

ager of Montgomery Coun-
ty and ask him about our
government and your tax
money? You say you'd like
to find out what we've ac-
cOmplished I'm MOntgOm-
cry County and what must
be done in the future?
You say YOU might have
trouble getting to talk to
the County Manager be-
cause he's a busy man?
Here he Is now. Be our
guest.
JOHN @. TAXPAYER
Mr.. Manager, first Of all I'd
like to know what's so spe-
cial about government in
Montgomery County. Coun-
ty government is county
government, right?
COUNTY MANAGER
No, not necessarily. Mont
gomery County operates
under a form of government
that is rarely found at the
county level. It's the coun-
cil-manager form of govern
ment and only about Is out
of more than 5000 counties
in the United States have it.
TAXPAYER-What makes it
different?
MANAGER would say sew
eral things. First Of all, unlike
the commissioner form, the
council-manager method gives
the council certain legislative
authority. Also, 1t establishes
the county manager as the chief
executive of the county. 1t pro-
vides a merit system for county
employees, an independent
audit every year, a system OF
centralized purchasing and COM
petitive bids. Under the COM
missioner form, there normally
Is no one overall head. The
voters of Montgomery County
approved a charter adopting
this form In 194S and we've
been operating under It ever
since.
TAXPAYER-Is It working
very well?
MANAGER-rd say a pretty
good answer to that Is found
in a municipal credit survey by
Dunn and Bradstreet In 1859.
One conclusion was: while
heavy borrowing since 1915 has
been undertaken and remains
incomplete, 1t has been accom-
parted by strong growth trends
in population and taxable valu-
alton, with the debt load kept at
a fairly moderate level the
debt structure is well planned,
the current position Is sound
and the county functions under
an efficient manager govern
ment."
can give you another an.
swer: Even in this 'heavy Dor
rowing" since 1945 that they
mention, the county's credit
rating has been raised by the
people in the bond market, In
dicating their respect for the
way we operate and the re-
suits we get.
TAXPAYER - I know that
most Of the money the county
receives in revenues goes to
schools. Can you tell me how
much?
MANAGER--About II cents
out of every dollar.
Major Accomplishments
TAXPAYER - What fields
represent our major accom-
plishments in the fantastic
growth we've had in Montgom-
cry County since World War
II.
MANAGER-The chief ones
are schools. roads, Industrial
and economic developments, ex-
pansion of public facilities.
TAXPAYER-What will be
the major items confronting US
as we continue to grow?
MANAGER-The same ones,
oddly enough.
TAXPAYER-I know you
don't have anything to do with

nothing more than having

Mr.. Godfrey's attorney, Cur

legislators had this view when
they passed the law 81 years

The next, he was holding a

A detective had charged that
