of community sewers and away
from individual septic tanks"
Mr.. Bingley said a public
hearing will be held before the
final proposal is presented to
the State Board of Health and
Mental Hygiene.
Our proposals aren't the I'LL
innate answer" Mr.. Bingley
said. "but it's a fact that septic
tanks shouldn't be used at all
in some areas"
I'm subdivisions of so lots
or more, or in an area of such
potential" the revision pro-
poses. individual wells for wa
ter supply and/or individual
sewage disposal facilities may
be permitted if suitable soil
exists and lot areas are not
less than 10000 square feet
almost an acre. and lots
widths are not less than $50
feet"
The current minimum re-
quirement is $4,000 square feet,
but this varies according to
soil condition.
In subdivisions of fewer than
so lots. the new regulations set
the minimum lot width at 100
feet. The minimum lot area
would be 10000 feet for sub
divisions up to Is lots and
$4,000 feet for those up to 40
lots.
Previously, there was no
breakdown by subdivision size,
with the minimum of $4,000
square feet applying in all
cases.
I'VE felt the minimum should
be raised for larger subdivi-
sions," Mr.. Bingley said, be
cause of the increased danger
of soil Saturation."

The Good Points

The educational improvements proposed in DR..
c. Taylor Winters budget request deserve the sup
port of all citizens desiring to make Montgomery
Countys school system the best in the nation.
Although the superintendent of schools is seeking
an increase in operating funds of nearly $9 million
over last year. few will cavil at the cost of reedying
the teaching and curriculum defects brought to light
last year by the School Boards own study committee
High on DR.. Whittier's list of recommendations.
and rightly so are additional English teachers. This
would reduce classes in several high schools to 20 each
and enable instructors to assign and correct more
written work.
We are intellectually in agreement on the need
to relieve the pupil load English teachers so they
can place more stress on aims research papers and
other writing assignments.
The average high school English teacher has five
classes day. or 100 students on the basis of DR..
Winters suggested 20 per class. One written assign
ment per week 100 papers to be read and cor
rected by the teacher.
If we assume the teacher spends at least 10 min
ues to check each paper-and this is certainly not an
excessive amount of time-he will have to devote APP
proxmately is hours week to this task alone in adj
dition to his teaching duties.
Obviously, the present 30 to 35-student classes
place an almost unbearabe load the conscientious
teacher who assigns a minimum of one theme week.
And there is question of the vital Importance OF
written work in promoting the use of good English
The fund requests for more remedial teachers
and specialist instructors in elementary Mathematics
science art and music are equally essential for these
programs, too badly need strengthening
Nor can any sensible person quarrel with the rec
concentration for more books and librarians. No
school can be considered either adequate complete
If it lacks the books to supplement what the student
learns in the classroom
We congratulate DR.. Whittier on his move to meet
citizen demands in areas where it has been shown
that system is weak And it is felt that both the
School Board and the County Council should give him
support in these areas

News Of Teachers

The Montgomery County
Sentinel deserves a vote of
thanks for bringing to the at
tention of the teachers of the
county unbiased news of the
MEGA Delegate Assembly.
1t is to be hoped that report
ing by the Sentinel will stir
teachers into action so that
they will insist that the MEGA
Delegate Assembly be guided
by its leadership into only
such actions which are unques-
tionably within the framework
of the Montgomery County Ed
ucation Association Constitu-
ton and which pertain to the
field of Education.

Governor ]. Willard Tawes is on extremely
shaky ground in attempting to justify his veto OF the
1860 Savings and Loan regulatory legislation.
The Governor contends the bill was too weak
and would have given savings and loan depositors a
false of security. He also claims the measure
could have harmed legitimate Maryland firms by
favoring non-residents corporations.
These arguments fall flat in the face of the
shocking information of mismanagement and book
juggling that has been uncovered in recent months.
1t is obvious that the bill sponsored in 1860 by for
mer Delegate Joseph d. Tydings would at least have
enabled the State to begin preliminary investigation
of savings and loan institutions and perhaps pre-
vented good part of the losses suffered by thou
sands of innocent investors.
1t becoming increasingly apparent two
years ago that Maryland because of its complete
lack of protective legislation attracting unsavory
elements to the savings and loan business There is
no evidence that Governor Tawes was unaware Of
this situation when Mr.. Tydngs introduced his BILL
vigorous and forward looking chief executive
would have signed the bill on the premise that some
thing is better than nothing, and then sought to inn
prove and strengthen it the following year.
Instead, his negative action permitted the status
quo to continue for Is months, during which cond-
tons steadily worsened. This was and is typical Of
an administration marked by hesitation and inacton.
All of this is water over the dam, however. And
Mr. Tawes frantic efforts to defend his veto cannot
repair the damage that has been done. What he can
DO constructvely is to take immediate steps to in
crease the staff charged with enforcing the new reg
latons adopted last year and TO insure the people of
Maryland that the States resources will be thrown
behind full and public investigation of this entire
unsavory mess.
