Large-SizeLot
zoning Urged

With an eye to preservation
of Montgomery County's green
spaces" a citizens advisory
committee yesterday proposed
a new zoning classification for
subdivisions, under which lots
would average one-third Of an
acre.
A 13-man group, known Of
ficially as The Committee on
Soil Erosion, Natural Topogra-
ply and Open Space Plan
ming" voted to recommend a
new "R-150" zone establish
ing a minimum of 10,5OO square
feet per lot and an average of
$4,000, square feet.
The categorywould be aimed
specifically at still undeveloped
areas in the county, such as
the Rock Greek watershed, for
which subdivision plans al
ready are under way.
Blair Lee III, chairman of
the county's delegation in the
Maryland House of Delegates,
said the new zone would be
designed to encourage owners
to dedicate to the county any
large sized lots which were not
subdivided so that the legal
average size could be main
tanned.
The committee, of which Mr..
Lee is chairman, expressed its
determination to "avoid future
abuse" of such tracts, so that
they could not be re-sold for
high-density purposes.
Members were not in agree
ment on exact provisions for
frontages of lots, but Mr.. Lee
pointed out that the proposal
would have to go before the
County Council and subse-
quently to public hearings to
iron out details.
Their proposed amendment
to the zoning ordinance recon-
mended still another zoning
classification. to be known as
"R-200.", It's dimensions would
range from $4,000 to 10000
square feet.

Before the return trip. the
group had cookies and grape
Juice in Lincoln Park.
Despite their inexperience,
the Brownies soon adapted to
the streetcar. They failed in
their efforts to make the seats
adjustable, but they scored an
engineering triumph by fitting
six girls into a seat built for
three.
Others may lament the pass
ing of the streetcars in mourn
full silence, but the Falls
Church Brownies believe in
more rousing sendoffs.

Larger Power
For Municipal
Court Rejected
Conference Fuvors
Keeping Civil Case
Limit at s. 900

An expansion of the Munich
pal Courts civil Jurisdiction
was rejected yesterday by the
District Judicial Conference.
The action followed a COM
mittee recommendation. that
the limit for civil actions remain
at $4,000. 1t had been proposed
that the limit be raised to
$4,000.
Proponents argued that the
change would reduce the large
volume of litigation in District
Court.
Objections included argu-
ments that judges of superior
legal ability" preside in District
Court.
SupOenaS in City
1t also was pointed out that
the Municipal Court cannot
subpoena witnesses from out
side the city. while the District
Court can, within a radius of
100 miles.
In the metropolitan area of
Washington, the power to COM
pei the presence of nearby
Marylanders and Virginians is
indispensable to the trial and
just disposition of a serious
case" Attorney Frank F. Rob-
erson said.
Attorney William E. Stewart.
jr., suggested that Congress
increase the subpoena power of
Municipal Court. He favored
the change in line with the
continuing improvement in the
caliber" of the Municipal Court
judges.
The court increased its juris-
diction from $1,000 to $4,000
in 1912. The District Court
can transfer cases which its
judges believe will result in
verdictS under $4,000, even
though plaintiffs may ask for
considerably more in their
suits.
New LOrtOn Facilities
The conference was told that
the city had proposed legisla-
ton for providing detention
facilities at Lorton for youths
committed by the Juvenile
Court.
The mmission ers an
nounced over a week ago that
a bill was being drafted to cope
with the growing problem Of
where to place juveniles from
the Juvenile Court after they
are too old to be detained in
the National Training School.
A 300-youth facility is ex-
pected to be ready in about
three weeks at Lorton. 1t is
mainly intended for youths 18
to IS years who are, convicted
in the adult criminal courts.
Several judges have ruled that
the youths committed from
Juvenile Court must not mingle
with those convicted in the
adult courts. Therefore. the
Commissioners concluded, sep
arate facilities must be pro-
vided at the Lorton institution.
The conference ended a two
day session yesterday in the
United States Courthouse.
