The Montgomery County Edu-

refusal to. approve the opera

The board denied the associa-
tons request for a special ex-

law to permit its use of the
property, primarily on the
ground that the teachers organ

The coming exception was
sought at a February IL meet

fact that the Meadow Hall prop

some are not within proper zon-

City Hall
Plans Get
approval

Plans for Rockville's new
City Hall got an okay from
the Mayor and Council at its
regular meeting last Monday
night. The Council also
voted unanimously to have ar
chitects Rinadout and Coupard
proceed Immediately to draw
up working plans SO that con-
struction on the building can get
underway as soon as possible.
Approval of a modern design
for the $250,000 building came
on the motion of Councilman
Frank Ecker and was supported
by Mayor Greene and Council
men Achilles Tuchtan and
Ralph Williams. Only Council
man Glen Keopenick voted
against the architectural style.
The Councils action was ex-
pressly to approve the general
concept of the building includ-
ing design, structure and in
terror floor plans as presented
last week. 1t reserved the right
to approve details and any
notifications that may require
future approval.
At its meeting last Monday,
the Council also deferred action
on putting one-acre coming on
the Glen Hills Club Estates zon-
ing map. Council members in
dicated that although one-acre
coming might be desirable in
Glen Hills, at the far western
end of Rockville, it could make
developments too costly for
builders under present Rock
vile road and storm drainage
requirements.
Four members of the Coun-
Gil agreed that study should
be made of the city's codes with
view to revising these require
ments for one-acre tracts. Cur
rently the largest tracts zoned
in Rockville are one-half acre.
Mayor Greene, seeking an i'm
mediate reserve of one-acre
tracts, dissented.
In other action, the Council
introduced an ordinance to
tighten UP Rockville's laws on
door-to-door solicitors who are
not members of the local bust.
ness community. The new regu-
lation would require that such
statesmen be fingerprinted and
would exempt persons with
fixed and permanent places of
business in Rockville.

Liquor Bill
Rejected by
Delegation

Montgomery County S
delegation to the General
Assembly has turned thumbs
down on a proposal that it
introduce legislation to per-
NIT the sale of hard liquor
by additional restaurants in the
county.
The delegation rejected a re-
quest filed on behalf of the
county's Licensed Beverage AS
ISOLATION by Kenneth Patrick,
operator of the Westwood Inn,
who appeared before the legis-
lators in Annapolis with the as
sociation's proposal for a liber-
allied liquor law in the county.
Delegate Blair Lee, III, dele
cation chairman, said after the
closed hearing the county legis-
lators felt it was too late in
the current Assembly session to
introduce the measure, which
has been the subject of consid-
cradle controversy in the coun-
ty in recent years.
Under the associations pro
posal, sale of hard liquor would
be authorized at so-called thigh
class" restaurants in the urban
areas of Bethesda, Silver Spring
and Wheaton. Their eligibility
for licenses would be governed
by specific restrictions, includ-
ing a provision that they pro.
vide complete dining facilities,
designed to eliminate the ele-
ment of taverns catering pri-

law within the last three years.
In many cases, businessmen
pointed out, the cost of remov-
ing a sign would exceed its ac-
tual value, and in others, re-
placement or removal would de-
stroy the effectiveness of the
display.
Business representatives did
not disagree with the councils

attractive through control of ad.
vertising, but expressed the
view that additional study is
required to attain the objective.
In return, Mayor Greene said
the city did not want to impose
hardships on local merchants
and said the council would be
glad to receive reasonable
proposals for a solution.

Breimyer Backs Lee Bill
For Study on Education

sion to study the needs and
possible forms of expansion of
public higher education in the
State"
The Montgomery County
School official also expressed
opposition to a bill supported
by Gov. J. Willard Tawes to
convert Frostburg State Teach
ers College into a branch Of the
University of Maryland.
Alternate Proposal
The resolution proposed by
Lee is an alternative to two
controversial proposals now I'M
der consideration, the Warfield
Commission plan to convert all
of the teachers colleges into
branches of the University of
Maryland and the Program for
Progress in Higher Education,
which would place the teachers
colleges under the supervision
of a new board of directors.
"In a word, we are not con-
vinced that either the Warfield
plan or the Program for Prog
ress was blueprint for the

best plan for the future Bret
myer told the committee.
Moreover, we are not sure
either study was made in as
objective and dispassionate an
atmosphere as could be wished"
He said Montgomery officials
do not believe that the program
of training teachers in Mary
land fully meets all current
needs.
TOO StereOtyped"
1--WE think it tends to be too
stereotyped, and maybe too pa
rochial," Breimyer asserted.
1--WE want goals to be pursued
embodying vision and farsight-
edness, and we would like
teacher training 10 be a part of
the stream of academic higher
education, not set apart from it.
"As to form of organization,
we are reluctant to think in
terms of an enormous super
university, but we think some
changes in the present admin
istrative structure of the teach
ers' colleges are desirable" he
continued.
Breimyer expressed the view
that "a responsible study of
higher education must also con-
Germ itself with how best to uti-
lie junior colleges"
AS to the controversial Frost
burg proposal, Breimyer said,
1--WE hold no prejudgment
against making Frostburg into
a university appendage; our OBJ
lection to the bill is that it
makes prejudgment."
"The sudden, hasty, ill-consid-
cred or even unconsidered ele-
ment in the bill is the cause for
our opposition to it," he added.
He said county officials also OPP
pose "the effort to deal with
one school in isolation to others
and in disregard Of the total
problem Of which Frostburg is
only part"

Average Size"
Zone Plan Gets
Councils Nod
VariabIe-Sized
Lots Permitted
Under New Law

A change in Montgomery
County's coming laws - re-
volutionary in the State of
Maryland - was approved
by the County Council Tues
day to provide greater flexi-
bility of subdivision develop
ment by permitting variations
of lot sizes in specific residen-
tial zones.
Labeled an average size lot"
measure, the amendment per-
mits the variations in two exist
ing zones and creates a new
zone, designated as R-150, in
which an average area may be
used as the basis for develop
ment. 1t applies only to areas
where public water and sewers
are available.
Under the new proposal, de-
velopers will be permitted to
lay out some lots of less area
than the existing minimum re-
|quirements, SO long as the
average size of all lots in the
subdivision equals the recon-
mended minimum.
Compensation Required
The new law offers develop
ers a choice of two methods of
compromising for smaller lots
--one, by laying out other lots
larger than the zones average,
and the second by dedlcating for
public use "ssa- area al least a
great as the deficiency for
utilization as parks, Fairgrounds
or similar installations.
In the RsR (rural residential)
zone, an average lot size of 20.-
600 square feet is required, but
some may be as small as $4,000
square feet provided the neces-
sary compensatory require
ments are met.
In the ROO zone, an average
lot size of 5000 square feet is
specified, with a permitted
minimum of 5000 square feet in
approved instances.
The newly-created R-150 zone
calls for an average lot size
OF $4,000 square feet, with a
minimum net area OF 10,500
square Feet. The amendment
provides further that no more
than 80 per cent of any lot in
the zone can be occupied by
buildings and bans construction
of accessory" buildings within
so feet of the front lot line.
In an opinion released by the
council with its adoption of the
new amendment, it was noted
that the original draft of the
measure called for repeal Of the
existing R-60 zone. However,
the council said the Park and
Planning Commission and other
witnesses at public hearings had
called for retention Of the zone,
and agreed to abide by their re-
quests.
However, the opinion said, the
council does not desire extern
