Butcher was directed to call
a meeting Of the committee at
the soonest possible date so

committee is an outgroWth of
constant urging by County
Councilman Stanley B. Frosh.
Frosh backed council inclu-
sion of $4,000 in this years
budget to hire cultural center
consultants. His proposal was
voted down because it came in
the closing days of budget hear
ings without sufficient con-
sideration of the whole council.

Arts Center Study OKd

Although loathe to appro-
pirate $4,000 in this years
budget to hire consultants,
the county council, never
theless voted in favor this
week of naming an advisory
committee to study plans for a
cultural and civic center for
Montgomery County.
The council voted Tuesday to
name a six-man committee to
study "the feasibility, size, fl
nancing, scope of activities,
location, facilities to be included
and the management" of the
proposed center.
Named to the committee were
Mason A. Butcher, acting coun-
ty manager; Lester WEIGH, di-
rector of sites and planning for
the school board; Forest v. Gus

recreation department; John P.

posed by the planning commits
sion.
The average lot size coming
proposal is practically the same
as another in regular use by
Fairfax County, Va. Montgom-
cry County landowners at last
weeks hearing held up the Vir.
ginians' arrangement as highly
desirable.
Specifically, they asked the
Montgomery County Planning
Board to consider amending the
county coming ordinance to in
clude two new zones: RIBS
dots averaging 1880 feet) and
R-2OO dots averaging 10000
feet). q
The proposed RIBS zone
would allow subdividers to
have lots as small as 10000
square feet while some would
be larger than the overall aver
age of 1880 square feet, with
in a subdivision served by
sewer and water.
The associations proposed r.

would have average lot sizes of
10000 square feet and mini
mum lot sizes of $1,000 square
feet, where water and sewer
was available. Corner lots could
be larger.
Where neither water nor
sewer was available in the pro-
posed R-200 zone, average lot
sizes would be 1900 square
feet and 1850 square feet as
a minimum.
Average lot sizes would en-.

ers' proposals, Board chairman
j. Newton Brewer said that he,
individually, twas inclined to
favor average lot sizes, pro.
vided the average are high
enough"
In no case should minimums
in any average lot zone be less
than 5000 square feet, he said,
nor should an average lot be
less than $1,000 square feet,
where water and sewer services
exist.
AS to the proposed R-200
zone, Brewer said he might
favor minimums of $4,000
square feet where only water
was available. Where neither
water nor sewer was available,
Brewer said minimums of 90
600 square feet and average
sized lots of 25,000 square feet
might be acceptable.

the remainder in the same den

The Planning Commission

5000 acres in the valley be

lies with the county council
and its control of coming.

district has been formed to relieve
what was becoming a dangerous
situation due to expanding popu-
lation.
They saw so acres of straw
berries in one plot bedded down in
plastic cover to reduce wedding
south of Miami. There was one
field of 140 acres of staked toma-
toes which the farmer was trying
to save from freezing by the use
of helicopters and smudge pots.
They examined a $4,000 harvest
ing machine which took SO men
to operate in harvesting celery.
This particular farm shipped an
average of 80 car loads of celery
per day during the peak of har-
vest.
One firm was receiving, washing,
waxing, and packaging 1900 crates
of green wrap tomatoes per hour
with one machine. The group was
told that the reason consumers
find the flavor so poor at times is
because they are improperly ripen-
ed. Flavor is best if the tomatoes
are ripened at temperature of
20. Most terminal packers play the
market and either hurry or delay
ripening by varying the temper
ature.
Farm specialists at the Univer-
sity of Florida developed the sched-
ule which emphasized winter pro-
duction of tomatoes, potatoes,
strawberries, and leaf crops. Coun-
ty agents in the five lower Florida
counties guided the group. Spe-
cial visits were made to research
plots at two of the Florida agri-
cultural experiment stations.
