ley;
"The community which has

gave SO generously in all her
numerous activities"

la predicted it will take a mini
mum of five months to build
each of the elevated type of
parking projects already agreed
on. A spokesman in the audi
ence said he knew of a firm
that could complete the job in
five weeks, but the comment
drew no reply.
Kordella also reminded the
chamber members that there
will be an even greater short
age of parking space when the
elevated lots are under con.
struction, since construction
material will occupy all of the
ground parties.
The discussion brought out a
number of differences of opin-
ion among chamber members
themselves as to the type of
parking facilities needed in the
area. One, a businessman, pre-
dicted that within few years
there would be nothing but
office business in the Bethesda
area and the principle need
would be all-day meters to
take care of their employees.

Six Expanded Areas
Proposed by Smith
Firm in New Plan

Expansion of six existing
parking facilities in the Be-
thesda area at a total cost
of $1,934,600 has been
recommended by Wilbur
Smith and Associates, con-
sulting firm engaged by the
County Council last year to
probe the growing parking
problem.
The report was submitted to
the Council Tuesday as the ini-
tial result of study inaugur-
ated last October and which,
when completed, will include
reports affecting parking dis
tricts in Wheaton, Silver Spring
and Montgomery Hills.
While the consulting engi-
neers found deficiency of only
573 parking spaces when they
began their survey, the report
said, they predicted the number
would increase to 1910 spaces
by 1878. The six "strategically
located" sites were proposed to
meet the need.
In citing the cost estimate,
the consultants said ''the ad
valorem taxes, parking viola
tons and meter revenues from
the curb and off-street facilities
should satisfy the existing anti
cipated debt service require
ments necessary to finance the
program"
Locations of the six facilities
and resumes of the overall plans
and their effects include:
Site A = located in the block
bounded by Woodmont Avenue,
Old Georgetown Road, Fair

metered spaces catering to both
short-time and all-day parkers,
the tract would be increased to
264 spaces initially through the
construction of a single deck"
designed so that additional lev
els can be added as demands

VI GlSE.
The ultimatum was issued by
the County Council Tuesday ir
response to a plea by Mr.. ano
Winfree Irvine Jr., who charged
that a series of map errors and
lack of cooperation have made
it impossible for them to reach
their own property because OF
obstruction of the road by
Francis Harding, developer OF
Sharon Woods settlement.
The councils decision came
after lengthy hearing in which
Mrs. Irvine, an attractive blonde
antique shop operator, took over
the role of attorney in her be.
half. She said she and her hus.
band obtained a farm home
near Sharon Woods last Octo.
Der, but have been unable to
reach it in recent months be.
cause the only road has been
taken over by Harding as part
of his development.
Producing records to prove
that the right-of.way, Walkers
Mill Road, was dedicated as a
public road in 1880, Mrs. Irvine
declared that the error was par.
TALLY due to faulty maps that
failed to identify the roadway.
Since then, however, she con.
tended, Harding was informed
of the error but still has taken
no steps to clear the path that
was blocked by his own con.
struction work.
Mrs. Irvine's position was
supported by County Attorney
Robetr Tobin Jr., who said that
Harding was informed of the
map error by his office and was
told to clear the right of way.
Douglas H. Moore, an assistant
to Tobin, said Harding recently
has taken the position that the
right of way is not a public
road and has done nothing to
improve it.
Tobin said his office conceiv-
ably could bring criminal action
against Harding, but preferred
to see the issue settled in other
ways.

Discussion Brings
Moments of Tension

Plans for two major park
Ing projects endorsed by the
B e t. e S d a Chevy Chase
Chamber of Commerce were
given the green light Mon
day in a conference that
helped iron out strong diff
ferences between the trade
body and top coun t y

The chamber was told by
County Manager Mason A..

Director Joseph A. Kordella
that its selection of two parking

Wilbur Smith and Associates,
consultants employed by the
county last October, in report
just released on the overall
parking problem in the Bethesda
area. AS a result, they said,
immediate development of the
projects can be expected.
The report of the consuItants,
who propose a total of six park
ing-expansion facilities in the
Bethesda area, was brought out
during a Bethesda conference
between the two county officials
and the Chamber of Conference
requested by the chambers
parking lot committee.
Brought on by the commit
tees dissatisfaction with the
county's response to requests
for immediate" action on park
ing problems as early as last
May, the discussion was marked
by some tense moments. At its
conclusion, however, chamber
officials agreed some definite
progress had resulted.
At one point, after several
speakers had complained about
lack of official action on the
May request, Butcher said the
county had held up decisions
because it was awaiting the
report of the Smith consultants.

you that the chamber went

you" declared Robert Furnace,
"that We didn't want it from the
start, but that we did agree TO
It only when we were told we
would have to put up with it.
We never really did want it,"
During a discussion of the
overall problem, Kordella said
a lack of personnel had been
a handicap in the past, but
noted the new budget provides
for additional employees who
are now being recruited to work
on the parking program. At
the same time, he added, re-
ceipt of the Smith report has
set the stage for speedier ac-

waiting to hear the chambers
views on its findings.
