Presentation of Rockville's
suggestions will be made at the
Maryland Municipal Leagues
Oct. 1927 convention in Hagers-
town. They must be approved
by the Leagues Legislative
Committee before inclusion in
the Leagues general Legislative
program.
In a memorandum of propos-
ais submitted to the Mayor and
Council by City Manager Walter
Scheiber, it was pointed out that
the 1861 General Assembly Act
authorizing municipalities to
create storm drainage districts
should be extended to permit
creation of parking districts
similar to those utilized by the
Montgomery County govern
ment. A parking district pro.
vision was included in the 1861
legislation but was knocked out
by the Senate Judicial Proceed.
ings Committee.
Scheiber said a possible k
ing districts amendment is i'm
portant to Rockville in its ur-
ban renewal program.
Rockville also will ask the
League to include a request
for a constitutional amend
ment in order to empower the
General Assembly to give spe-
Gifted cities "quick take" con.
demnatiOn powers similar to
those existing for county gov.
ernment.
While Scheiber pointed out

For one thing, their taxes are
higher because of the preferen-
tial assessment of farm lands,
justified as a means of preser-
wing farming near the metro
politan area, and "open space
as an amenity necessary to
human welfare and happi-
ness, but without any require
ment for rural zoning to pre-
serve that open space. In addi-
ton, down-County taxes help
to make the up-County schools
just as excellent as those
down-County, thereby helping
persuade people to move up
County and buy houses from
Mrs. Bowling.
It's not "idealistic propa.
ganda" to maintain that good
planning saves money. AS the
General Plan points out
page 81 "As much as $12 mill.
ion Of public funds may be
saved on sewer trunkline con.
struction alone in the next two
decades If new urbanization is
directed into easily sewerable
areas instead of being allowed
to scatter aimlessly. Much
greater savings may be real
lied by concentrating urban
development along transporta.
tion routes which can supply
convenient rapid transit to
take peak loads off the high.

for criticising the present

that this may be hard to get
through the legislature, he said
it can be made palatable by
vesting in the General Assem-.
bly, the final decision as to
which municipalities should en-.
joy such power through enact
ment of special local laws.
Rockville officials are of the
further opinion that legislation
introduced in 1861 at the city's
behest which would give muni.
cipalities and counties power to
require that developers dedicate
adequate recreational areas
should be reactivated. The 81
attempt to get the legislation
through the General Assembly
resulted in bottling it up in Com.
mittee.
Depending upon outcome of a
preference survey of city per-
sonnel, Rockville may initiate a
special bill for the General AS
sembly next year to provide for
withdrawal by the city from the
State Retirement System.
In this event, Rockville would
set up its own pension plan
under Social Security would be
supplemented by whatever addi-
tional coverage was deemed ap-
propriate. The additional GOV.
erage would be underwritten by
city and employee contributions
and financed either through a
City-administered trust fund or
some sort of insurance program.

different planningg and zoning
actions affect the value of pro-
perty, or what can be done to
avoid inequities between land
owners while still preserving
open space.
But consider the choice
offer the voters this Novem-
Der. In their questioning of all
C "a n didates on the crucial
issues, the League Of Women
Voters posed the folling ques-
ton to Council aspirants: For
anyGeneral Plan to succeed,
the areas designated as open
space must be preserved. What
specific measure can the
County Council adopt to ac-
complish this?"
Five Of the seven Republican
candidates refused to answer
this question, four of them
claiming they first have to see
the proposed General Plan
(now available). Fetrow re-
sponded that only public own
ership could preserve open
space. Wilson evaded the ques-
ton.
Among the Democrats, Wer-
ner, Kramer, Lin tn cum,
Frosh, and Sher all noted that
preservation Of open space re-
quires coordinated planning,
restrictions on the location and
use OF sewer lines, a new rural
zoning category, and the ac-
QUESTION Of development
rights. Kramer and Sher added
the utilization of the taxing
power TO channel growth.
Williams listed only the veto
power of the Council over
sewer programs and the acqui-
sition Of parkland and develop
ment rights Walker simply
suggested incentives for
farmers TO keep their land in
present use.
For anyone interested in
public officials who are willing
to take a position on contro-
versial issues land incidentally
in tax savings which may be
achieved by good planning)
the choice among Council cam
didates in the coming election
should be quite clear.

Last week, former deputy,
William A. Schotter, resigned
with a broadside charge that
Offutt, Democratic candidate for
Benefits old job, had cancelled
a leave granted by Bennett to
allow Schotter to campaign on
the COP ticket.
Offutt denied that Schotter
had been given a leave,
point backed up by Bennett
in a press letter received here
this week.

Major (Schotters nickname) to

Bennett supported Offutt's
claim that the decision of time

the then chief deputy sheriff.

Rule on
attorneys

Two Washington attorneys
who live in Montgomery County
nave asked the Maryland Court
OF Appeals to strike down a
Montgomery County Circuit
Court rule which requires law
yers to have offices in Maryland
before they can practice in the
county.
The rule requires that attor-
neys must be residents of Mary
land, that they maintain a "bona
Tide" office in Maryland where
they spend a reasonable
amount of time" and that they
maintain a Maryland office tele-
phone" to be admitted to prac-
tice before the Court of Ap-
peals.
The two attorneys, David c.
Bastian and William ]. Rowan,
contend they were admitted to
practice law by the States high
court and were issued certifi-
Gates, which said, among other
things, that they were entitled
to practice law in any of the
Maryland courts.
The attorney general said the
rule does not prevent the two
lawyers from practicing in the
county. "CThey) may file their
pleadings with their District of
Columbia address thereon, so
long as they are joined of rec
ord by local counsel.
1T is noted that the rule re-
lates only to the filing of court
papers, not to general practice" :"

Shot Fired
At NOrbeck
Country Club

County police said Monday
they found no evidence to sup
port a report that a Norbeck
County Club golfing party was
narrowly missed by a bullet as
they played the course Sunday.
1t. L. M. Whalen, chief of
detectives at the Wheaton-Glen-
mont station, said officers
searched the wooded area ad-
joining the golf course carefully,
but found only two boys.
'They didn't have any guns"
1t. Whalen said.
He said a full investigation
of the reported incident was
hampered because they could
not find the man from the party
who reported the incident.
Asst. golf professional Bob
Clark said he heard of the shot
from a man identified only as
"Mr. Gordon"
According to Clark, Gordon
said the bullet whiZzed within
two feet of his ear as he played
on the courses 18th hole. The
hole is located near a wooded
area. ~
"The people in the party-I
don't know their names-were
