Councilman
Delays Job


Appointment of two aides
in Montgomery County's
department of assessments
was delayed by the County
Council Tuesday, after one
member of the body objected to
a State tax officials method Of
recommending applicants for
the jobs.
The council agreed informally
to seek further information
after Councilman Grover K.
Walker took exception to an ap-
parently.preferential listing of
applicants submitted by Albert
w. Ward, director of the State
Department of Assessments and
Taxation.
In certifying five applicants
for the position of assistant SUI
pervisors of assessments and
three for the job of assessor
aide, Ward listed each group in
numerical order. This, Walker
contended, amounted to Wards
recommendation of the No. 1
applet in each group.
"He is merely required to GER
tify whether the candidates are
qualified or not" said Walker,
"and wasn't asked to designate
anyone as the No. l man."
Two resolutions, prepared
routinely for action by the
council, listed two proposed APP
pointees-in each case the first
applicant for Wards list. Walk
er said they gave no indication
whether the other candidates
actually were qualified for the
positions, and suggested that
additional information be OBJ
tanned before final action.
Had the council approved the
resolutions as presented, Walk
er declared, 1--WE would just be
a rubber stamp for Mr.. Ward"
Proposed for appointment in
the two resolutions were Gar
ner w. Duvall, of Gaithersburg,
for the post of assistant super
visor of assessments. and Will
liam M. Pearce, of Wheaton,
for assessor aide. Thersalary
range for the assistant super
visor is S7S94-S9607, while the
aides pay is set at $3.50.

Ia. Payment
Plan Giuen
Council OK

County residents will be
given an opportunity next
year to begin accommodating
credit toward payment of
property taxes by the pur-
chase of tax certificates which
will increase in value the longer
they are retained.
The County Council this week
approved an ordinance provid.
ing for issuance of the tax an
ticipation certificates, which will
be sold through the office of
Finance Director Alex K. Han
cock in denominations ranging
from $40 to $500. If purchased
at the start Of the tax year,
they will increase in value at
the rate of $3.50 for each $1O0
before they are due to be sur
rendered.
Hancock told the council the
certificate plan was devised for
the convenience of property
owners who do not hold mort
cages through which taxes are
provided for In monthly pay
ments. He said he did not an
ticipate extensive use of the GER
tificates since most residents
utilize the mortgage plan.
The council approved the
ordinance by vote of 50, with
Councilmen Stanley B. Frosh
and Jerry Williams dissenting.
During a discussion of the
new payment plan, Frosh ques.
toned its advantages. "What
the people really want is an in
stallment PLAN" he said. That's
what they've been asking for"
Frosh said he felt straight
installment payment plan would
be preferable to ian expensive
system that gives the taxpayers
a premium or discount"

Three Questions Posed
To determine the teachers at
titude toward the recognition
program, the association will
ask them to answer three ques.
tons generally framed around
these issues.
. Is 1t effectively possible to
evaluate teachers effective
ness?
. Do you favor the proposal
of the MEGA career recognition
committee to discontinue the
program for two years pending
thorough study Of its merits?
. Do you favor the present
program?

quested to prepare the specific
questions in line with these pro-
posals. and to submit them to

ration of a l96l-62 budget,
the program calls for these fea-
lures:
. Expansion of the Sandy
Spring Elementary School for
use as a training center for
severely-retarded and multiple
handicapped children between
the ages of 6 and 81 in the up
county area.
. Construction of a new, SINH
lar facility to serve children of
the same age group in the sub
urban area.
. A special high school to
provide vocational training for
pupils who, because of their
handicaps could progress no
further accidentally than the
fourth grade.
. Future provision of space
for special education classes in
all newly-built schools.
Program Received
The plan was proposed by
Mrs. Marian Tannhauser, super
visor of the special education
division, who participated in an
extensive review of the prog
ress of the special education
program since its inception in
1854. While services and facili-
ties have been expanded con.
sistently since that time, she
told the board, the program still
falls short of meeting the needs
of all retarded and handicapped
children in the county.
Mrs. Tannhauser and DR..
Elaine Barnes, director of edu-
cational services, told the board
that more than 200 children re-
ferred by school personnel for
special training are awaiting
placement because of made.
quate facilities. In response to
questioning by board members;
they agreed that many other
pupils probably would benefit
from special education classes,
although they have not been
specifically referred for such
training.
Special Classes Held
The current program pro-
vides 81 special education
classes in 26 schools, in which
a total of 813 pupils are en-
rolled, the officials reported. In
addition, 1904 children in regu-
lar classes are receiving spe-
cial education services.
OF the pupils enrolled in the
special education classes, a to.
tai of 405 are mentally retard.
ed. About two-thirds of the 813
pupils suffer from three OF
more handicapping conditions,
the report noted.

Council Moues to Up-Date
Ne1U Rockville Master Plan

cerned with the city's first
major decisions involving the
plan, would move an industrial
area from g. acre site on
Great Falls I'd. to a so acre
site on 70 S, The National Pike,
at the TT. % interchange.
Recent Denial Cited
Mayor Alexander ]. Greene
pointed to a recent denial by
the council for an industrial
park on Falls rd., an area desig.
mated in the master plan as in
dustrial. Greene said the coun-
Gil would reserve this area for
residential use.
Furthermore, he said, the

County National Bank
To Build Drive-In

Reuben Riggs, president of
the Montgomery County Ma
tional Bank in Rockville, an
nounced that the bank has been
authorized to establish a Drive
in-Walk-up Branch at 401 North
Washington St, with entrances
and exits on North Washington
st. and Hungerford DIR.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-12-08

council would create an indus
trial-park zone in the N. w.
quadrant of the TT. % inter-
section.
The council has before it a
request for industrial coming
for this tract. Greene said a
poll of the councilmen showed
this probably would be granted.
Prestemon Defends Plan
Robert G. Prestemon. Vice
Chairman of the commission,
defended the plan as a closely
integrated one and prophisized
farreaching problems If the
council tempered with it.
"Once you establish this plan,
and then begin to deviate from
it, you cause q whole series Of
changes" he said.
You'll end up with a mish-
mash" he warned.
Councilman A. M. Tuchtan
replied, "A master plan is only
so good as it is adaptable to
flexibility. 1t is only a guide to
the council"
Interchange Is Factor
Greene insisted the Falls I'd.
site should never be allowed to
develop for industrial use until
an interchange to 70 S. is built
which would take traffic from
the city. To further strengthen
his point he added that an
interchange at this point I'M
doubleday never would be built.
The Rt. % interchange, he
said, would funnel the indus
trial traffic away from the
center of the city.
The Falls I'd. area, Greene
said, is developing as the city's
finest residential area, and
should be encouraged. He
termed the county Jail, to be
built in the area, compatible
with residential neighborhoods.

Court Directive
Given Council on
White Oak Zone
Decree Throws
Out Denial by
Predecessors

The Montgomery County
Council took initial steps this
week toward rezoning of a
White Oak tract in compli-
ance with a Circuit Court
order directing the body to re-
consider a previous councils
denial of the rezoning in 1857.
AT issue is the rezoning re-
quest of William Wilder Evans
for plot of some 5000 square
feet off New Hampshire ave.
adjacent to the Naval Ordnance
Laboratory. Wilder, who asked
commercial coming of the tract,
appealed to Circuit Court after
the council denied his request
three years ago.
Recommendation Asked
In the face Of a December 1
decree by Judge James H.
Pugh, directing that the prop
erty be rezoned, the Council on
Tuesday agreed to seek a
recommendation from the Mont
gomery County Planning Board
as to the proper land use Of the
property for purposes other
than its present two-acre resi-
Dental classification.
At the same time the council
agreed to withdraw an appeal
to the Maryland Court Of APP
peals, in which it had taken
issue with an earlier injunction
granted by Judge Pugh, re-
straining the council from inter-
fering with Evans commercial
use of the property. The final
decree Of December / gave the
Council considerably more lee
way IN its rezoning OF the prop.
erty than the original injunc-
ton, which specifically provided
for either CT or CT use Of the
land.
Bars Residential Use
The final decree ordered that
the rezoning not be "inconsist-
ent with the finding by this
court that any residential zon-
ing Of said parcel will deprive
the owner Of his property with.
out due process of law" While
barring rezoning for any other
residential use, according 10
County Attorney Alfred Carter,
the ruling does give the Council
the authority to zone the tract
for any Of several commercial
or industrial uses.
Carter said the councils APP
peal from the original injunc-
ton order was based on its
objection to specific provision
for CT or CT use Of the site.
Consultations Held
The decree was the result OF
consultations between attorneys
for Evans and the county, after
the council had filed motions
for a revision of the original
injunction ruling.
The Evans property is thanked
by a fire department and the
Naval Ordnance Laboratory
golf course, and Is adjacent to
playground. County officials
have conceded its location
makes It virtually useless for
residential development.
Judge Pugh's decree called
for rezoning of the property
within 80 days of the date OF
his order.
