Home Beauty
Salons Given
Councils OK

The operation of eauty
salons will be permitted through
issuance of special exceptions
in certain residential zones of
Rockville under an amendment
to the coming text approved by
the City Council Monday night.
The amendment, authorizing
exceptions for beauty salons as
home occupations in the R-40,
R-60 and R-75 zones, was pre-
pared at the request of Mrs.
Betty Oszust, of 301 Farragut
ave.
Mrs. Oszust previously had
been prohibited by State health
authorities from continuing her
salon until she obtained permits
sion from the city to display a
small sign describing the nature
of her business. Under the re-
vised law, she will be allowed
to display the sign if the Board
of Appeals approves her request
for a special exception.
The amendment also places
an additional restriction on
home occupations, prohibiting
them from constituting a NUS
ance by adding to traffic con-
| gestion or creating noise.
The council turned down
Planning Commission proposal
which would require home bust
nesses to obtain permits.
The coming ordinance already
| imposes these restrictions on
home occupations:
. The business must have no
employees other than the oper'
ator.
1t must not require a sep
arate entrance, with the excep
ton of doctors offices.
. Motors required for the
business must not exceed three
horsepower.
The business must not oc
cupy more than 20 per cent Of

While Montgomery County

higher salaries than the state
minimum, the increase in state
minimums would mean addi-

The abrupt end to most pas

transport and the Mattatuck

unit were able to track down
buses last night. The Coast
Guards encourage will consist

cratic National Committeeman
John Golden, of New Haven,
was still trying to secure
alternate transportation for his
party of about 100 people from
Connecticut.
