Trash Costs
Too High
Briggs Says

The county's special budg-
ct consultant told the Coun-
ty Council this week that
refuse collection charges lev
led by the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission
are too high and he suggest
ed the County control the
activity of or arrange to do
the job itself.
Consultant John F. Briggs told
the council in a memorandum
that the special circumstances"
surrounding the WSSC's county
service Suggest that this
(WSSC service) is, perhaps, not
the most appropriate arrange
ment."
The memorandum pointed out
that the WSSCs jurisdiction
covers only about % per cent of
the county's land area and about
"a per cent of its 1860 popula-
ton. "The remaining population
must provide for refuse collec-
ton and disposal by other
MEANS" Briggs said.
He said that since the respOn-
sibility for refuse collection here
legally rests with the county, ''it
is appropriate that the agency
that provides this service be
subject to the policies estab-
lished" by the county.
"The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission is not pre-
sently in this position" Briggs
memorandum said.
Briggs suggested an alterna-
tive to the county assuming
direct responsibility for refuse
disposal and collection sis to
successfully achieve adjustment
in the management of the
WSSC so that this commission
will have the authority to serve
all of Montgomery County and
that the management of such
services" be under control of the
county.
But IL the county should
decide to take over the job
itself, Briggs recommended that
the collection activity be handled
by contract with private cOlIec-
tors on q collection district
basis.
Should the county take over
the job, it should provide the
disposal facilities for all refuse
collection, he said.

. Suggested that "a more

satisfactory, as well as econom-
ical" operation of the libraries
in secondary schools might
result if each library were linn
tied to one teacher-librarian,

expansion of school bus trans

that the school board apply
Continuous pressure" on its
staff to study and develop ways
to reduce bus transportation and
on other county agencies to plan
and implement alternate means
of student transportation "such
as sidewalks, bicycle paths and
public transit"
The amendment calling for
further study of the budget was
proposed by Mrs. j. w. MOhler,
a committee member, who made
1t clear that she was not in
accord with the position taken
by Thomas Atchison, committee
chairman.
When a federation member
observed that the original pro-
posals failed to show what the
group favored with respect to
Whittier's budget proposals, she
declared: These things were
crammed down our Threats as
things our chairman was for.
When 1t came to the important
things, we got nowhere"
Her position was supported
by George D. Hansen, another
committee member, who con-
tended that the group had
spent just about an hour" in
discussing major issues in the
budget.
By a vote of II to 16, the fed.
GRAFTON rejected a motion by
Robert Hacken, of Silver Spring,
that the group go on record as
supporting Winters general
budget proposals. as "satisfac-
tory"
In a discussion Of that pro-
posal, Hansen declared "if we
do this. we might just as well
disorganize. Wed just be voting
for a pig In a poke"
At one point in the long dis
cussion, the group rejected a
proposal that 1t return the entire
report to the education COM
mittee for further study. Also
turned down was a suggestion
that the federation refrain from
submitted a report to the school
board and, instead, submit its
recommendations directly to the
County Council.
Fewer than half Of the mem.
bers on hand at the start Of the
meeting were present when the
final vote was cast at about

Band Boosters Seek
$1,000 Uniform Coal

The fund drive for band uni
forms for Richard Montgomery
High School has reached about
two-thirds of its $4,000 goal.
The Band Boosters group is
urging local residents to contrib
ute to the success of the drive
by the end of this month so that
the marching band can order its
new outfits in time for the
Cherry Blossom Parade, which
has invited RMHS to partici-
pate.
A spokesman for the band
boosters said that not enough
presentable uniforms are now
available for the entire band to
make public appearances. The
new colors will be almost the
opposite of the existing combin-
atoms.
The marchers will wear black
trousers, above gold spats, and
fancy gold jackets, topped off
with a black cap and gold
plume.
Among the pertinent support
ers of the drive were the Rock
vile Rotary Club, which con-
tributed 5000; the High Schools
student activities fund, $50;
Rockville Optimist Club, $50;
Leland Fisher, Inc, S65; and
Giant Food Stores, $50.

In Jeopardy
At Rosecroft

Three divisions Of the Prince

Rosecroft Raceway May 6.
Each division of the Prince

race.
The Rosecroft pacing record
of 200 2/5 is expected to be
