Build Dams Now
County Urged By
Commission Members

A strong recommendation that the Coun-
ty proceed with the ulti-millon-dollar con-
struction of two proposed dams in the Rock
Creek watershed area north of Rockville
without waiting for Federal funds-was made
to the County Council this week.
At joint meeting of the county heads
with the County Planning Board, board mem
Der Donald E. Gingery questioned whether it
is worthwhile waiting for an anticipated
Federal contribution toward the dams con-
struction, declaring the amount is $50 small"
it may not justify holding up the project for
it.
Lets get them in before prices go up"
he urged, adding that land values are con-
stantly increasing and the County would be
wise to go ahead as soon as possible with the
building of the dams.
Purchase of sites for the dams could be-
gin this year if the Council agrees to them,
Board Chairman j. Newton Brewer said
Describing the need for the dams as
obvious he said he didn't want to see"
the same thing happen in Montgomery Coun-
ty which occurred in Prince Georges County
several years ago. He explained it cost the
county SIT million to correct flood problems
in Hyattsville and Riverdale
The planners and council members met
jointly to discuss the boards three master
plans for future development In the county,
but discussion conferred almost exclusively on
the Rock Creek watershed

Governor 7a,Ues May Hare
Keen Competition In 1862

Governor Tawes this week
appeared to be headed for
some real competition if he
makes his anticipated bid for
reelection next year.

of young Democrats is report
edly out to form a ''new era"
challenge to the incumbent
governors ticket in next

Daniel B. Brewster, who is
being boosted for the COVER

Montgomery County, for the
U. S. Senate nomination.
State Senator Harry r.

have asked him to shift his
interest for the time being to
the State House at Annapolis.
The 37-year-old Baltimore

favor the switch.
