The commissioners, as forecast in The Star, yesterday passed a formal resolution, directing that each land owner be asked to in- form the county officials as to what . price they would sell their property for courthouse purposes. It will require several days to collect the information, as to ownership of the various parcels of land included in the square, and when this is complete the letters will be sent out, each having attached a copy of the resolution passed yesterday. The resolution directs a permit for the establishment and maintenance of a modern cemetery on a 200-acre tract on the Persimmon Tree road near the Congressional Country Club in Potomac district, as petitioned for by Edward H. Jones, Harry M. Mar- tin and others. Refusal Not Specific. _The resolution did not specifically mention the nfiplicluon in question, simply stating that the “commissioners of Montgomery County herewith decline —_— to consider further any spplications to f Th . issue permits for the location o B'l;l,;l!':; cu;::;:‘;::‘s Aepsm'" 17— commercial cemeteries in Montgomery Recommendations for construction of | COunty unitil euch time a3 the majel approximately 27 miles of lateral roads | IAEUTES O BE€ T LG otion of || that the|on 12 highways in the county during |REVE SSFEN &0 LIE SUNQOnq answers {0 the request for & stated price | the coming year were made by the |5 og siated that the Maryland Na- be made public when received.

The county governors also expressed, in the resolution, their willingness to expend a reasonable portion of the emergency funds at their disposal for the purchase of the square, over and above the $85,000 made available by the 1929 session of the General Assembly, and state that ample funds now are on hand for the construction of the proposed courthouse as recommended by the building committee and the county commissioners. The $85,000 which the commissioners say is available is provided for in two bond issues, one for the purchase of a triangle of the square on the west side of Court street, and $50,000 for the purchase of 16 feet on the north side of the square for the purpose of widen- ing Montgomery avenue to carry the heavy traffic which passes east and west through the town. ‘The emergency funds which the com- missioners refer to in the resolution is the $200,000 emergency certificates of indebtedness which the authorities are allowed to put in circulation by an act of the 1927 Legislature. money was tied up in the school con- struction, to make up the difference be- tween the $336,000 allowed by the Legis- lature and one bond issue, and the amount authorized in the bill as it passed the House of Delegates. Question of Amount. The commissioners did not indicate what they would consider a resonable amount, but it is understood that it might be as high as $90,000 if that amount is found necesary in order to purchase the land in the square so that the project can go forward this Summer. The “feeler” to be put out in the form of letters to the property holders also will show whether any owners of property desire to stand in the way of the project. Should any of them not deslire to sell, then, it was said, the pur- chase of the other parcels will go for- ward, if the prices are reasonable, and the others left until after the next ses- Some of this| The recommendations call for the building of five gravel and five con- crete roads, while it will be necessary to confer with the roads commission engineers before it is definitely decided which surface will be used on the other two. | The roads wili be paid for out of the | $134,000 gas tax refund and the $550,- 000 bond issue recently authorized. Just how much the projects recom- mended will cost cannot be learned until the roads commission has passed on the estimates made by the county commissioners, but it was stated that all the funds available from the two sources would not be expended this year. Roads to Be Improved. The roads recommended are: Extension of the Brandywine road from its present terminus three miles toward Aquasco, gravel. Extension of the Crain highway- Croor{]e road, past Croome, four miles, avel. e Completion of lateral road from the present terminus of River road by way of the present country road to the De- fense highway, about one mile," con- crete. Extension of the Livingston road from Piscataway toward Charles County line, three miles, gravel. Construction of two miles of gravel road from the National Defense high- way to Bowle via the Laurel-Bowie road. Construction of lateral road from the Baltimore boulevard to the Edmonston road via Jefferson avenue, Riverdale, one and one-fourth miles, concrete. Extension of Central avenue from Halls Station to the Crain Highway, 1 mile, concrete. Completion of the Jackson-Goodheart | road from Riggs road to the Montgom- | ery County line, about 1 mile, concrete. Extension of Riggs road to Old Pow- der Factory road, about 3 miles, gravel. Near District. Line. Construction of lateral road from the | present terminus of Chapel road over sevelt avenue to the District line, approximately 1,000 yards, concrete. If it is found possible to complete the road from Landover to Upper Marl- boro by way of Oak Grove with a gravel surface the commissioners will recom- mend the entire 12 miles of this road be built this year. If the State roads commission insists that this road be concrete, only 5 miles will be recom- mended, to include the portion from Landover to Largo. ‘The twelfth road ended by the commissioners is that Trom Gordons Corner on the Washington road to Huntts Corner on the Livingston road, other features of the proposed plan are Etchison toward Damascus, the final one-half mile of pike from Darnestown || of improved road from the end of the and Potomac and north as far as Ner- || beck and Colesville.
