Zone Change
In Damascus
authorized

Rezoning of 14.7 acres in
downtown Damascus, planned
as the site of an extensive re.
gional shopping center, was
given formal approval of the
County Council Tuesday by a
unanimous vote.
Initiated by the council itself
as a move to reverse a denial
of the zone change by a So
vote of its predecessors la st
year, the action converted the
property owned by James c.
Dulin from residential to COM
nercial. The tract lies directly
behind an existing small bust

The controversial site was
purchased early last year by

According to Jerry Cook, Da-
mascus realtor who represented
Dulin at the coming hearings,
the shopping center has been

School Plan
Reuse Is
Rejected

Use of an existing school
plan to save approximately
$4,000 and two months in an
urgent" building schedule
was disapproved Tuesday by
the county School Board.
The school staff asked board
members to approve reuse OF
plans for an already built
school designed by the architec-
tural firm of Cohen, Haft and
Associates for the proposed
Seven Locks Elementary School.
Need for the school is urgent
due to rapid growth of the area
it will serve, school officials
said, and using the already
drawn plans would not only pro-
vide $500 in savings. but would
speed design on the facility by
two months.
Board member Mrs. Lucy
Kicker, arguing for using the
already drawn plans, question
ed members opposing the school
staff's recommendation as to
their reasons for taking such a
stand but she was unsuccessful.
Supporting reuse Of the
plans with Mrs. Kicker was

Hassle Snarls Pay Hike
For 1000 County Aides
Party Lines
Followed in
Board Split
By William H. Smith
Sentinel Reporter

A long-awaited pay raise
affecting most of Montgomery
County's 1000 employees has
been sidetracked by a dispute
between majority members of
the Personnel Board and the
County Council.
The deadlock was brought to
light Tuesday when the Repub-
lican-dominated council issued a
statement asserting it had re.
fused to adopt the new salary
schedule proposed by the Demo-
cratic controlled Personnel
Board because of its opposition
to salary provisions affecting
eight members of the police de-
partment.
Within a few hours after the
council adjourned its meeting,
however, Personnel Board mem
bers Louis A. Palmer and Grace
Angle denied that the overall
salary schedule was affected by
the eight jobs at issue. Their
position was disputed by Hal
Lackey, chairman of the board
and its only Republican mem,
Der.
County Manager Mason
Butcher, who apparently sup
ported the stand of Lackey and
the council, said he would at
tempt to arrange a conference
as soon as possible for recon-
sideration of the controversy.
At issue are the positions of
the captains Of the detective bu-
reau and the juvenile bureau,
five detective lieutenants and
one juvenile lieutenant. I'M
der existing policy, they re-
ceive four per cent higher pay
than officers of similar rank In
the police department, a differ.
ence favored by the Personnel
Board Democratic members.
Palmer and Mrs. Angle In.
sisted, however, that the extra
pay Is not provided in the new
overall salary schedule under
consideration. Instead, they con.
tended, it has been approved as
a matter of policy established
before either of them were ap.
pointed to the board.
The extensive council state
ment noted that the Personnel
Board submitted its revised
personnel regulations to the
council on Feb. 10, calling for a
pay increase for most county
employees averaging about four
per cent. Since the first report
was received, however, it said
minority report had been sub
mitted by Lackey.
A major issue in the Lackey
report called for elimination of
the four per cent pay differen-
tial granted the eight detectives
and juvenile officers. He based
his argument on the contention
that no such differences are
provided by other administra-

Racial Law
Legality Is
Questioned

Both sides in the fight
over the county's public &C.

planning to go to the law

The Rev. Kennth B. Vented,
chairman of the Human Rela-

day he has asked the County
Attorneys Office for a formal
opinion on possible conflicts be-
tween the ordinance and the
newly enacted public accom-

Mrs. Norma H. Duffin. the

Mrs. Duffin said is "about $3.50

Their plans, she said, are to

D. Noyes is virtually certain of

Now it seems a majority of
the council has swung around
in favor of reappointing Moves
even though it'll make some
of the more enthusiastic COP
stalwarts unhappy.
Those who usually know
about these things say the
other two judgeships up for

are certain to go to Repub-

of q bill pushed through the re-
cent General Assembly, the
terms of each Judge will be er-

Ostensibly, this move is to
make the judgeships more at

council members agreed with
the applicant in his contention
that the apartment dwelling

President John A. Floyd and

that she was absent when the
