that we are in one of the fast

United States and that it is a
difficult matter to keep pace
with the shifting population,
with new employment trends,
new transit problems, and ex-

is no area in the United States

satisfied all factions of the
population.

to demand that our Planning

However, the problems of

is nothing wrong with large

Planning Report

The Montgomery County OBJ
server two weeks ago carried
a story that dealt with a report
prepared by members of the
Montgomery County Citizens
Planning Association. In the
story, emphasis was put on the
Conflict of interests" portion
of the report. The MCCPA
board has discussed the story
and is somewhat disturbed that
that so much was made of the
conflicts" portion of the re-
port and your reporter devoted
SO little attention to the other
issues in the report that are
just as pressing, if not more
so.
l can't help feeling that, for
example, what is happening to
our watersheds is as great a
scandal as the others mention
ed in the report. The County
is about to adopt an elaborate
general plan, and 1 notice that
the County Council has been
very careful, since the staff
presentation of that plan, to
keep coming within the restric-
tons required by it. The
trouble is that "NOW he tells
me-" as it were: Zoning al.
ready allowed in places like
the Northwest Branch newt
ably weakens any attempt to
maintain the open space re-
quired for the success of the
plan. Indeed, there is so much
land zoned for residential or
denser uses all over the Coun-
ty that we can't possibly use
up half of it, even by the year
1000.
Or again, to quote the re-
port, This sewer project (near
Olney) provides a classic ex-
ample of how present finan-
cling arrangements in effect
permit private developers to
"buy" sewer extensions into
areas where they have invest
ments, even though better
planning would require with
holding development in that
area" This certainly seems
scandalous to me, almost on a
par with vote-selling. There
was a time, l am told when
the vote was a property right
and so could legally be sold.
Nowadays, we hope to get bet
ter government by subduing
naked economic power a little,
so vote-selling is illegal. In
planning for physical develop
ment of the County, too, feel
that we need a little subduing
of naked economic power. AS
long as private money can be
so loudly heard, all that tax
money (41s cents per $100) we
put out for the planning func-
ton of the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission might as well be
devoted to popsicles, for all the
planning we can get out of it.
In short, the developers are
doing our planning as it suits
them, and the overall public
interest is whatever is left
over.
Worst scandal of all is the
fact that the County Council
has never been brought to see,
let alone use, such powers as
it now has to control the plan.
