A school board candidates
charges that county taxpay-
ers are not getting their
moneys worth in the school
construction program met
with firm denials from Off
Gals this week.
Outspoken School Board cam
didate William e. Coyle of Sill
yer Spring made the charges
Tuesday in a luncheon speech
before the Bethesda Kiwanis
Club.
'Mr. Coyle has made a lot of
allegations l think he'd better be
prepared to prove" said School
Supt. c. Taylor Whittier.
Among the charges was a
claim that school officials turn
ed down an offer by a contrac-
tor to save $4,000 in the build
ing of the new Bushey Drive
Elementary School by substitute
ing split-rock brick for pre-cast
concrete panels in the outer
walls Of the S494,000 circular
structure.
School officials cOuntered
that the actual saving would
have been closer TO $500,
further Offest by the "intan-
gible loss" of time in meeting
deadIine for the schools con-
pIetiOn.
James Fl. Sheldon, director OF
school construction, said he had
queried the builder on substitute
ing brick walls as a lever to
get quicker delivery on the con-
crete panels" which had been
delayed in their design stage.
Figures provided him showed
total cost of caulking, construc-
ton and erection of the con.
crete panels would be $41,700,
Sheldon said. Brick substitution
would have cost the School
Board $4,000, for a difference
of $13,700--but a $1,000 charge
for work already done on the
I panels and another $1,000 for re.
design work would have re.
duced this saving to $500.

City Asks
Post Office
Site Change

Rockville has proposed to
the United States Post Office
Department that it consider
two additional sites for loca-
ton of a new post office at
the County Seat before COM
pleting construction plans to
build at North Washington
ST., and Martins Lane.
Desirable locations the city
wants the department to con-
slider are the east side of Hun
gerford drive, north of Park
road, and the northeast side of
E. Montgomery southwest of
Dodge st.
Official City objections to the
North Washington st. location
center around probable conges-
ton which will result on the
narrow thoroughfare from post
office traffic, and the fact that
no time table has been set up
for widening of Martins Lane.
At this time, the City has
funds available for engineering
design and rights-of-way acquisi-
tons along Martins Lane. In
the event these phases Of the
widening project are concluded
this year, funds for widening
work will be allocated in the
next fiscal budget.
It has been pointed out to
Post Office Department officials
by the City, that while another
site choice may involve greater
initial expenditure, decided over
all advantages will be gained in
accessibility.

Spectrum
By The Observer

Republicans pulled closer to
the Democrats in new voter
registration figures released
this week by Rose Dawson,
clerk to the Board of Election
Supervisors.
By Tuesday, a total Of 11OS
Democrats had signed UP as
new voters and there were
903 Republicans. Only 200 of
the 2211 total declined to state
their political affiliatiOn.
Last weeks figures, going
back to the start of the new
voter registration drive Sept. 4
were: Democrats, 537; Republi-
cans, 367; declines, 80.
Many more nel0 Uoters are
coming into the roUing boards
of registry carrying Republican
literature, according to one OBJ
serUer 1Oho stOtNg around to see
several of the boards in action.
And the whole new voter
registration drive has been, we
are very sorry to say, a lack
luStre affair.
1t seems fair enough to
ascribe the apparent lack of
new voter interest in, regis
tratiOn to a lack of new voter
interest in the election. And
we know a lot of old voters
aren't very interested either.
We must say, with all due
recognition of the old cliches
about the urgency of voter in
terest in governmental affairs,
that it's kind of discouraging to
be a Maryland voter.

gamblers are offering 10 to one

DueHere
BY Lila H. Thomson
Sentinel Reporter

At least five junior sky
scrapers are expected to be
pushing up to unprecedented
h e i G h is for commercial
structures in Rockville be-
fore year-end; and,
BY next spring, a luxury
type So million motel and
restaurant will be rounding
into shape on the east side
Of Rockville Pike just above
Congressional Plaza.
Two of the figh-rise buildings
now are under construction at
Rollins Park. The first of four
scheduled, for Rollins Park, each
will contain $50 units and will
rise seven stories. Construction
cost of each is estimated to be
$1.2 million.
At the same time, 1t is ex-
pected a seven-story office build
ing and motel will rise shortly
on Rockville Pike across from
Court House Square apart
ments. Details are being handled
by the Rockville office of Sam
uel w. Bogley; in addition six
store building for Suburban
Trust Company is scheduled for
North Washington Street be-
yond the N. Washington Street
shopping center; and,
A new, six-story Medical Arts
Building is planned for Rock
vile Pike and Edmonston Drive
on the site of the building pres
emily occupied by Glen Koepe-
nick real estate office.
The Medical Arts Building
will be constructed by a syndi-
cate of doctors headed by DR..
Herman Maganzini. Before this
gets under way, however, the
structure occupied by Koepenick
will be RACED and the first 400
feet of Edmonston Drive ex-
tended will be built by the City.
Congressional House, the So
million motel and restaurant
which will get under way early
next Spring, will be constructed
by Wheeler Corporation of
Prince Georges County. De-
signed by William L. Mayne of
Arlington, Va, the ceramic,
glass and metal structure will
be built Sin the round" and rise
four floors, excluding the lobby
floor. To be constructed on ap-
proximately 31z acres of land,
the circle building will have a
diameter of 240 feet.
Parking facilities and shops
will be on the ground floor and
a swimming pool on the first.
Motel rooms on additional floors
will command view of the pool
from overlooking cabana s.
About 152 rental units are in
cluded.
Negotiations are under way
at this time with a large, ma
tionally known hotel chain int
rested in a leasing arrangement
and an equally well known res.
taurant chain interested in a lux
ury restaurant in the Washing.

Planning Unit Okays $500 Survey
OF Its Role In Wake OF PAS Study
Polinger
Eases Plea
On Tract

With a referendum set for
Oct. l on the controversial
annexation of the 412-acre
Anderson tract on Route 355
by of Rockville, it appeared
this week city officials and
developer Milton Polinger
will agree on zoning compro-
misses that will bring the
tract within city limits and
onto Rockville tax books.
Polinger purchased the So
called Anderson tract for SIT
million. Early this year, he petit
toned for annexation and zon-
ing which would have permitted
construction of 1872 housing
units, including high rise apart
mellts. He also asked for 81
acres ef commercial and 30
acres Of industrial coming.
The Rockville Planning
Commission, however, turned
thumbs down on apartments
and told Polinger he could build
$40 single family dwellings and
204 in high density RIGS coming.
At the same time, 1t said mo"
to industrial and recommended
five acres for commercial.
In April, the Mayor and
Council backed up Planning
Com m issiOn recommends
tons; told POlinger to seek
professional help in planning
his development, and invited
him TO return at a later date
with a more detailed plan. At
the same time, however, IL
agreed TO the annexation.
Polinger, in an unprecedented
move, requested a referendum
on annexation. The law allows
a 45-day protest period on an
nexations before Inhalation
and provides for referendum
procedures.
Monday night, Polin & e r,
thanked by his attorney, c. Ed
ward Nicholson and planning
consultants Mott and Hayden of
Washington, appeared before
the Mayor and Council with a
pared-down version of his orig.
inal request.
Among other things, he re-
quested that 371s acres of land
be classified in the R-30 zone
instead of 1873 acres; 253 acres
for R-90 rather than 1928. In
the matter of commercial, the
original request for 81 acres was
dropped to 10 acres in the CO
classification. No request was
made for Industrial
For 28.6 acres Immediately adj
jacent to the requested CONNER
cial zoning, Polinger asked for
RS coming. In effect, this is a
form Of holding zone for future
classification. Polinger indicated
he would ask for rezoning Of
the RS land when he could
demonstrate need for additional
commercial.
Mayor Frank Ecker indicated
the Mayor and Council would
think" about the new requests
until next Monday night and
told Polinger to think" of add.
tional concessions he may be
able to make, particularly, in
the matter of apartments acre
age. He indicated additional RS
coming would be more palatable
to the city at this time.
It was agreed by the council,
however, that Polingers re-
quests have reached shirt
sleeves discussion stage and
next Monday night, a week be-
fore the referendum date, may
bring about agreement.
Polinger said II the Monday
night meeting results in favor

the voters property owners and
those residing on it, will vote
