DEGREES SPRAYING Plans

Urban sprawl is the villain
many suburban Montgomery
countians we're Kissing this
week as the County Council
held hearings on three pro
posed master plans.
County residents fear the en-
croachment of more and more
subdivisions as the ballooning
metropolitan popula ito n ex'
pands into the Montgomery
County countryside.
They made that feeling clear
during three hearings on the
Gaithersburg Rockville, Upper
Rock Creek Watershed and
Upper North west Branch
Watershed master plans.
The plans were approved this
Spring by the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. The County
Council cannot change the
plans; members can simply pass
along recommendations to the
planning group.
Many of those who testified
suggested that an overall
master plan for the county be
completed before adoption Of
sectional plans. An overall
master plan is currently in the
works by the planning commits
