Council Taxi
Vote Upheld
By Pugh

A Montgomery c cunt y
Circuit Court judge this
week ruled that the County
Council acted in the public
interest in authorizing a
public taxicab stand oppo-
site the Silver Spring bus
terminal on Pershing DIR.
Establishment of the public
stand has been opposed by
Silver Spring Taxi, Inc, which
operates a privately-owned cab
stand In the 900 block OF
Pershing dr., where the public
stand will be.
In dismissing Silver Spring
Taxi's request that he set aside
the County Councils action,
Judge Pugh said the fact that
they are owners Of a valuable
tract of land adjoining the pro-
posed stand is not sufficient to
m a Ike the Councils action
illegal.
There is not the slightest
evidence, nor inference, that
the Council has been fraudulent
or corrupt" in exercising its au-
thority to grant the public
stand, Judge Pugh said.
BY holding four separate pub
lie hearings in the matter, he
added, the Council indicated its
determination to act in the
public interest.

Commission Seeks
ST. Million Budget

Suburbia's battle against
urban sprawl is reflected in
the 1928 budget of the
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion, which proposes to
spend nearly half its ST.
million budget for park land.
Executive Director Jesse F.
Nicholson, in submitting the
proposed budget to the Commits
sion, said:
With no sign of a letup in
population growth, it is impera-
tive that the Commission main
tain its emphasis on park land
acquisition to provide open
space for present and future
generations"
The proposed purchases total
about 1000 acres. The Commits
sion plans two regional parks
IN Prince Georges, nine in the
up-county portion of Montgom-
cry, and a large park along both
sides of the Pawtuxent River
including both conservation and
recreation areas.
Nicholson noted that the
budget is about 100000 less
than that for 1862. He ex-
poets no increase in the 13-cent
park tax and Az cent planning
tax in Montgomery and 10-cent
and Accent taxes in Prince
Georges.
Parks planned for Montgom-
cry County, which now has four

Creek, Olney, Travilah, Fair.
land and Piney Grove.
Preliminary master plans to
be put into the works during
the year are those for Four
Corners and Damascus In Mont
gomery. :.
The budget would finance q
regional survey of the needs for
urban renewal, a transportation
study, a land use survey and a
preliminary master plan Of
highways.
A total of 100000 Is sought
for the acquisition of land for
completion of George Washing
ton Memorial pkwy. in Mont
gomery. Matching funds from
the Federal government will
allow construction of a divided
highway from Great Falls to the
District line, along with con-
Meeting roadway between the
parkway and Little Branch
pkwy.
Also proposed is a $4,000 49,
hole golf course in Northwest
Regional Park In the Layhill I'd.
section near Sandy Spring.
The budget must be approved
by the Montgomery County
Council. Public hearing on
Montgomery proposals will be

Best Mudder
Sure Winner

NAPLES, Fla. - Here is the
slowest race course in the world
where If there isn't enough
mud, they spray the track with
fire hoses.
That's the story Of the race
of the ponderous swamp bug
gies, scheduled for Neples Nov
ember %.
Strictly q south Florida in
vention because of the proxim-
ity of the Everglades, Swamp
Buggy Days draw thousands of
spectators each year.
The race covers a mile Of
cypress swamp mire with the
track made horrible either by
rain or fire hoses.
The irregular mile track Of
fers a varied assortment of OBJ
stacles which would stop al
most any other vehicle. Mud,
water. water holes, gumbo, and
more mud is the oozy, squishy
condition Of the track over
which the skilled drivers must
take their swamp runners.
Speed is definitely out as the
snorting monsters strain for
even a tiny bit Of traction and
just getting to the finish line
is considered something of a
feat. The racing committee
thoughtfully provides bull
dozers to haul off mired or
drowned out buggies.
