Open Space Needs

groups.
Twelve immediate recon-
mendations" proposed in the
study seek permissive legisla-
ton to alter assessment proce-
dures on rural land and a gen.
eral policy stating that open
space is in the public good.
The assessment revision, to
avoid the levy Of high taxes on
farmland just because it has a
high market value, is under
study by the Virginia Com

Fairfax ranks only slightly
ahead Of Prince Georges and

Montgomery, 1881 acres; Fair
fax, 3,198 acres; Prince G

Privately owned land may
provide two-thirds of the 1O0,-
900 acres of open recreation
area that Fairfax County
planners hope to preserve in
coming years.
A staff study, "The Vanish
ing Land" released to the press
yesterday, recommended de-
vices such as density conserv-
alton and estate coming to re-
strain development Of private
land.
Public acquisition Of 10000
acres cost $18 million at 1862
land prices, the study says.
About 100000 open acres will
be needed, it states, to accom-
modate a growing population
with rising income and more
time to spend in recreation.
The planners have been con-
cerned In recent years with the
rapid westward growth Of ur-
ban subdivision sprawl. Their
study released yesterday seeks
to use open spaces to control
development in the western
two-thirds Of the county.

Sci Outcry Dies Down
But Legal Actions Pend

BALTIMORE, Dec. 81 (AP).-
For Maryland investors, 1876:
was the year when the huge
savings and loan bubble burst
creating a shock wave thai
won't die out completely fol
many years.
By the time 1862 arrived, the
States breakdown on savings
and loan firms had reached its
peak. The public was openly
dissatisfied with discoveries OF
mismanagement, misuse OF
funds, mail fraud and other
violations.
The year closes with much
less public outcry, but a lot Of
legal loose ends as a result of
receivership and conservator-
ship DEGREES and criminal in
dictmentS.
The State took court action
against more than q dozen
troubled companies in 1862. It
has nearly completed examina-
tons of the State chartered as
sociations and has set up a
quasi-public company to insure
deposits in savings and loan
firms.
Approved New Law
Recently completed was es-
tablishment Of a new Depart
ment of Building, Savings and
Loan Associations, which was
automatic after the voters in
the general election overwhelm-
ingly approved the States first
savings and loan regulatory
law.
The act was approved by the
General Assembly in 1851, but
had been challenged by refer
endum.
The head Of the new depart
Evening star., 1962-12-27

! ment is Harry B. Wolf, jr.,
whose appointment was an
nounced in December by Gov.
Tawes. Mr.. Wolf held a similar
position when administration
of the law was carried out
under the State Department of
Assessments and Taxation.
The new insurance company,
the Maryland Savings-Share
Insurance Corp, began operat-
ing December / with 13l mem
ber associations, representing
about 500 million in savings
accounts. Each account in
the l31 associations is insured
up to $4,000.
Effect Felt Later
Although the regulatory act
went into effect Immediately
pending the outcome of the
referendum - after Gov. Tawes
signed it in June 1851, the ef-
feet Of the breakdown on poor
ly run associations was not felt
until four months later.
During the past IA months,
81 associations have been
placed in some form Of official
custody as the result Of State
and Federal action. The 81
firms represent $42.4 million In
belonging to about 49,
500 shareholders.
Generally, these people can
expect refunds of a few cents
on the dollar. When they will
get this money remains uncer-
tain. because the tedious work
Of liquidating and collecting
outstanding debts must be
completed first. ....-..
