There are very definite rules

The law, and l hope you'll

night during March, April and

Q There must be a fire break

ing burned.
. There must be present adj
quate personnel and equipment
to prevent the fire from escap-
ing.
. At least one person must
be present until the last spark
is out.
By the way, the penalty for
violating these rules is a fine of
$40 to $500 and Imprisonment

Bethesda Corridor Axing
Backed by Businessmen

Bethesda area business

that the Observation-Disclosures

Commission would retain the
controversial Wisconsin Ave.
Corridor plan despite its OBJ
vious rejection by the Coun-
ty Council.
Appearing before the Council

OF two office buildings which
would be built directly in the
path of the proposed corridor,
representatives of the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Chamber of Com
merce urged the county heads
to discourage the planners from
retaining the corridor in its pro
posed master plan for the Be-
thesda area.
c. Edward Nicholson, one of
five chamber members who APP.
peared at the meeting, said area
business men were extremely
apprehensive" that the corridor
would be included in the general
plan despite the issuance of per
mits for the two buildings. OF
the more than 600 business men
in the Bethesda area, he said,
a vast majority are opposed 20
the original corridor plan.
Planning commission insist
ence on retaining the plan,
Nicholson declared, would be a
"disservice" to the community.
A Chamber of Commerce reso
luton submitted by the group
commended the council for what
it termed a forward move and
urged that "this route not APP
pear on the master plan" Not
ing that the 'lead-in leg" had
shown for a number of years
on the master plan as a route
through Rock Creek Park, it
"be again SO shown as going

The resolution also urged that
the Capital Beltway be "expe-
dited" between Connecticut Ave.
and Georgia Ave. 80 the lead-in
leg might be the north central

Board Links
Project to
Aides Thesis

The Montgomery County
Board of Education took a close
look Monday night at a depart
mental research project" that
has been linked to the private
educational advancement of one
OF the school systems top EN-.
ployes.
Initiated by Board Member
Everett H. Woodward, the
query took up a QUESTIONABLE
sent to some $50 parents to
determine their reaction to
newspaper stories about the ed
ucational program. 1t was in
ferred during the discussion
that the questions and answers
formed the basis of a thesis
prepared by Dorothy Waleski,
in charge of publicity for the
school system, in her studies
toward a masters degree in a
downtown Washington univer-
sity.
Maxwell Burdette, director of
research for the school system,
conceded that replies to the
missionaries had been turned
over to Mrs. Waleski-possibly
for use in her educational aspir.
atoms outside the school system
but he said the replies ap.
parently were helpful to the sys.
tenn in its own program.
Such an inquiry, Burdette
said, actually had been approved
some six months before Mrs
Waleski submitted her univer-
sity thesis with a view to i'm.
proving the school departments
public relations program if i'm
provement were needed.
Board members, after a dis.
cussion lasting nearly an hour,
thanked Burdette for his views
and took no further action on
the issue.

Guide Adds
Rural Land
amendments
Special to The Sentinel

Amendments to major
bills affecting rural land ir
Montgomery County were
made this week by State
Sen. Gilbert Guide (R-Mont
Coz. They were:
. Revising bill that would
have extended the jurisdiction
of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission to the en-.
tire county so that under his
amendment the WSCS area
would extend only to areas
where county planners have al,
ready adopted sectional master
plans.
= Changing his bill requiring
that land receiving the prefer.
entail farm assessment be re,
zoned to two acres category.
Under his new proposal such
land would continue to be eli.
gible for the lower farmland
assessment until it is actually
rezoned to apartment, CONNER.
cial or industrial.
Guide said he was also persist.
ing in his efforts to win enact.
ment of his bill giving the Coun.
ty Council greatly increased au.
thority over extension of all
sewer lines. At present, the
Council may veto only major
trunk sewer extensions. Guides
proposal, which is repeatedly
viewed favorably by the House
delegation from the county,
would enable the Council to veto
every size sewer line, laterals
as well as trunks, and allow the
Council to designate certain
sewer as non access.
Both bills restricting or i'm
posing greater control over
WSCS sewer line extensions are
cited as being necessary by
Guide on the grounds that ex-
tension of sewer lines spurs de-
velopment of subdivisions which
may be premature before
proper planning has taken
place in the areas involved.
The effect of Guides amend
ment limiting WSSC extension
to areas where sectional plans
have been adopted is that little
or no such extensions would
take place in the immediate
future.
A sectional plan is to be
drawn for the Potomac area
this year. And sectional plans
have been adopted for the
Upper Rock Creek and North
west Branch Watersheds as
well as Rockville Gaithersburg
and vicinity. But there are no
immediate plans for preparation
of sectional plans for the re-
mainder of the county's rural
areas.
Concerning the amending of
his farm assessment bill, Guide
said the Maryland Legislative
Council will conduct a study of
the entire farm assessment
problems during the coming
year. Pending completion of
that study he believes his bill
will prevent any serious
abuses of the farm assessment

Assessing
Procedure
Is Changed

A revised program of re-
assessing residential property
values which conceivably
could bring Montgomery
County an additional SIS
million in taxes next year
was approved by the County
Council Tuesday.
By unanimous vote, the Coun-
Gil authorized a change in pro-
cedures recommended by its
new financial consultant, John
F. Briggs, after Briggs said it
would able assessors to
double the amount of work they
are now doing in the depart
ment's program to bring resi-
dental property assessment up
to date.
During the past year, Briggs
noted, reassessment raised the
recorded value of property by
some SAT million. Under the new
system, he said the increase
would be raised to about 1874
million within a years time.
The basis for Briggs plan was
the use of available IBM ma
chimes and o 9TH er calculating
equipment already utilized by
other county departments in the
tax program. In effect, it would
be a change from "a manual to
machine process" which would
free assessors from office duty
to conduct additional work on
the outside, he asserted.
Briggs recon m e n datiOns
came after an extensive study
of the assessment system in
which he found recorded prop.
erty values submitted by asses
sOrs differed extensively as a
result of mathematical errors,
inaccurate use of the depart
ments assessment handbook or
differences i'm judgment.
In four cases involving record
cards IS lie C t e d at random"
Briggs said, the value estimates
differed from actual values in
sums ranging from $40 to $4,000.
He said a combination of fac
tors" was responsible for the
errors but admitted he was
unable to pinpoint any one at
this time.
His proposed change in the
system, the financial consultant
told the council, would enable
assessors to devote more time
to outside work and give them
more time to gain experience
in the assessment field. The
added experience, he said, would
have a tendency of reducing
Judgment errors.
Basically, his recommends
tiOns called for use of auto.
mated equipment in the mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation of property
values and the accumulation of
sales assessment ration infOr-
nation.
At the same time, he called
for a review of reassesSments
completed this year with view
to detecting errors that might
have been made, a continued
analysis of procedures in the
Division of Assessments until a
complete review has been ac-
complished and a complete ex-
animation of existing methods
on the theory that additional
Improvements might be de-
tected.
The change in procedure,
Briggs contended, would require
no increase in the personnel of
the Assessments Division. Cal
culating equipment available in
other county departments, he
added, is adequate for the job
and the change would bring no
increase in operational ex.
penses.
Because of the nature of the
program, Briggs said, the antici-
pated increase of SAT million in
the next year would be reduced
gradually until it reaches
normal level" However, he
asserted, the stepped-up pro.
gram would raise the level "well

Bunting said. "This is the first

Almost all shark attacks on

cited the case in Sea Girt, N. j.,
several years ago where a man
lost his leg to a white shark.
Sharks In other varieties are
not uncommon in Delaware
waters. Some varieties are
edible. Bunting says that last
winter he remembers one day
in which cod fishermen at Indian

which they were going to sell.
