Urge Commissioner Authority
The survey is one of the first
comprehensive looks at urban
renewal needs in the county,
The Health and Welfare Coun-
ellis blight committee recently
recommended to the county
commissioners that they, and
not municipalities, be vested
with urban renewal authority
The county's legislative dele
CATION plans to introduce a bill,
however, which would give the
authority to the municipalities
Delegation Chairman Edward
T. Conroy said the move would
be made merely Ito see what
happens"
Five municipalities - College
Park, Laurel, Glenarden, Hy-
attsville and Mount Rainier
have asked for renewal powers.
But the blight committee
feels the county commissioners
could best coordinate a
countrywide renewal effort, en-
comprising everything from
do-it-yourself home improve
ment and cleaning-up, to DEM
clifton Of selected areas.
The survey emphasizes, how
ever. that the overall need for
self-help is on a larger scale
than wholesale demolition of
blighted property.
Much of the problem can be
solved by specialized activities
similar to that provided by
agriculture extension workers
encouraging self-help programs
in connection with enforce
ment of housing codes :"
the report states.
It also asks that the county
commissioners explore imme-
diately the possibility Of devel-
oping a team of experts in the
field Of extension activity" to

BY PETER MASLEY
Star staff Writer

Substantial evidence of urban
blight has been discovered
in Prince Georges County In a
recently completed survey by
a Health and Welfare Coun-
Gil committee.
The year long survey, first OF
its type in the county, calls
for possible demolition in two
blighted areas reported in the
Capital View subdivision and
the town Of Fairmount Heights
Also named as areas exhibit
ing blight were Nash street
near the District line; Brent
woo6 and North Brentwood and
the property along the District
line between Shadyside and
Central avenues.
The report states that the
Capital View subdivision, on a
hill near the Baltimore WASH
ington parkway and near Prince
Georges General Hospital, has
such poor housing and steep
grades that "it Is the opinion
Of this committee that this area
will not improve in the long
run without drastic action, in
GLIDING the probable condem-
nation Of the property ="
Health Problem
Another area Of billy topog-
raphy, Paramount Heights, also
has poor quality housing and
sanitary facilities, the report
says. 1t adds:
ut would be folly to
install modern streets and sani-
tary facilities in many sections
Of Paramount Heights unless
selective demolition Of struc-
lures could take place in con-
junction with providing modern
facilities"
The county's health director,
DR.. Daniel Finucane, confirmed
the findings of the committee
on health problems in blighted
areas. He said: There's more
evidence Of poor health in the
two areas Capital View and

Attack on Blight Problem
Urged in Prince GEORGES

| further determine the scope Of
the problem and to determine
the feasibility of Immediately
beginning self-help and fix-up
programs"
Particular stress on reloca-
ton Of people in demolition
areas is made in the report.
THE area of complete de-
molition should be kept as
small as possible, involving the
least possible relocation of peo-
pie" 1t advises.
There are problems in
Prince Georges County which
at the present time require
urban renewal attention." the
report says. However, the
areas where complete clear
ance of structures might be
required are small in area and
few in number, with the pos
sible exception of areas in the
town Of Paramount Heights.
The survey began with q
compilation of 1860 census
data and plotting areas Of di-
lapidated housing on a map,
according to Harry A. Boswell,
jr., council member and a pro-
fessional planner.
Then, he and three other
blight copmittee members.
Walter F. Mulligan, William
H. Ziehl and Ira T. Byram, in
spected the blighted areas.
Mr.. Boswell said most Of the
urban blight was not found in
municipalities. but adjacent to
them.
In urging that the county
hold renewal powers, he said
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion should play a large role
in planning urban renewal
projects. The commission cur
rently is making its own blight
survey.
Comments on Areas
Briefly, the blight committee
found:
Capital View-"Sanitary con-
ditions we're such that it would
seem advisable for the Health
and Welfare Council to request
an analysis of health and sani-
tary conditions as well as a re-
port on housing code viola
tons. Also, an analysis Of well
fare costs going into this area"
Area next to District line,
between railroad tracks, Fifty
second avenue, Nash street and
Fifty = fourth street Within
this area, one street, Nash
street, consists Of housing of
such poor quality that a report
should be secured from the
public authorities as to health,
welfare and housing code vio-
lations. The remainder Of
the area probably can be
into an improving area
with self-help activities and en-
forcement of existing codes"
BrentwOOd-"This is an area
which shows substantial evil
dence of blight but is being
rapidly converted into an in
dustrial area. 1t is recon-
mended that no public action
be taken in this area as the
market place will solve the
majority of the problems and
residential use of this area will
probably be eliminated in the
forseeable future"
North BrentwO0d-"This area
has some structures which are
below standard and many I'M
slightly yard conditions. =.
However, the town is generally
improved in appearance"
Paramount Height@"The
problems here should be
faced within the forseeable flu
ture possibly by a continuing
program on a small area-by-
area basis so that the scale at
any one time would be large"
Next to District line, between
Shadyside avenue and Central
avenue -. continuing de-
probation and lack of MAIN
tenance Of. structures could
cause problems to arise, the
housing types being Of a sort
which are tending to become
obsolete throughout much Of
the area"
