6 0LD GOURTHOUSE ORDERED REPLACED Entirely New Building at Rockville Will Be Munici- pal Center. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md,, July 20-—With a | vision before them of Montgomery | County becoming one of the greatest | metropolitan additions to a greater Capi- tal of the United States in general, and of this town, looming in importance os | the seat of government, in particular, men who have been actively associated | with the phenomenal progress of the | county during the past few yzars, rcp- | resented in the courthouse building committee, as recently enlarged, late vesterday gave a large general order for a new county building, which would be far in advange of the present #trid=s in the county and would set as a center 8’?"" for the predicted development cf e future in the county and town. 01d House to Bs Scrapped. With one stroke, the committee de- cided that the present courthouse build- | ing must be thrown on the seran heap 10 make way for modern construction. Not even sentiment for the historic oid building, now crowded out of its useful era by the advancing jmportance of this county could save any part of it to be included in the proposed new building. ‘This new structure, the committee de- | cided, will be of white limestone throughout, and the general order given to the architects was for a long, low | structure to occupy the site to be made | by the prosent square and the area to | the west soon to be acquired by con- demnation, and to be united by 1hr‘1‘ closing of Court strest by authority of the town council here. The progressite march of the county has also rounde the coming abandonmer:s of tha prese; sail by the provision of modern living conditions for the counts prisoners in a new jail to be made a part of the pro- posed new building. While the projected structure is re- ferred to as the courthouse it will really combine all the features of a modern municipal building. In addition to the house of justice, it will house all of the county government offices and will provide modern facilities in the way of hearing rooms and offices for the board of county commissioners, the police headquariers, tax and other municipal and county offices. Survey of Town Planned. As a part of the county building project, instructions were given for a complete survey of the town, with the idea of planning its future development in conjunction with the proposed new structure. Irving C. Root, chief engi- neer of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, who attended the conference, was instructed to take steps to have this study made, in co-operation with the mayor and council of the town, and he was asked particularly to request the Charles W. Eliot, 2d, city planner of ital Park and Plan- in this important | the National Ca ning Commission, task. Although the proposed building proj- ect, which the committee considered. is to b2 designed to take care of the business of the county for many vea nevertheless the committeemen &re even looking beyond this, and proposed to plan far in advance of this, so that fyture expansion will not be beset with the ccstliness experienced by other cities and towns. For three hours the committeemen dis- cussed the project and they had before them tentative exterior and interior plans for the proposed new building which were prepared by architects. These served merely as a basis of d¥ cussion and were not in any way ap- proved, the building shown in the de- sien being declared to be tco high. The final action of the committee was for a lohg, low building, which wculd be set off properly by the new site and which would prove attractive to the people passing along the national high- way on which it is to be located. The decision to have a survey made | of the entire town in connection with | the site was prompted by a statement of D. H. Smith of Washington, consult- ing architect, in connection with the District of Columbia Courthouse. Re- ferring to this, he said that it was meant to be located on Pennsylvania avenue, but that funds were not avail- eble for the purchase of such an im- portant site. As a result, the building s erected at the far end of a squalid commons which occupied the space that is now John Marshall place. Its near- est neighbors were a few disreputable sheds and, “yet,” he continued, “we see it today et the head of a dignified vista which is to become the center of & great group of buildings. No one in 1820 could foretell the growth of Wash- ington. In a similar way, you are building for a future which will prob- ably surpass any prophecy that could be made today Would Avoid Mistakes. “It is, therefore, advisable to avoid in 80 far as possible any present mistakes in the development of streets, the plan- ning of public improvements, and in the architecture of buildings. During the past year I have become acquainted with some of your problems as related to the Court House. Some progress un- doubtedly has been made. but, in my opinion, no satisfactory solution to the problem has been reached. Otherwise, I should not be making the suggestion that you go back to a new start on cer- tain fundamentals before undertaking a detalled discussion of the plans.” Mr. Smith said that it was of prime importance that the building should be conceived in a style and on a scale that will be fit for its position and uses, and added that the building should be as near perfect as can be made for the price, not a casual sort of structure that might be found in any other place of the size. “The time for action brings with it the feeling that divergent ideas should be merged in an attempt to get the best possible court house,” he continued. “It i 1 i also brings to you the responsibility of organizing your committee and its agents for getting the best results. For a at least, e should be a Ibcommittee to work in almost tact with the architect or ‘who should be the best avail- able. subcommittee should make periodic reports to your general commit- tee which would lay down all broad policies, such as present and future needs of each department, allowances for growtk, present and future environ- ment and zoning, mode or style of arch- itecture, materials of construction, build- ing time schedule, temporary office ac- commodations and relations with archi- tects and contractors, all as affecting the cost, permanency and suitability of the proposed building. “This statement is offered with the suggestion that you look at this prob- lem, for a time at least, as though you were starting anew, so that you may have a chance to review and change ‘where it ‘may be found desirable. The long period which has elapsed since it was t begun would seem to make this necessary.” Decision Forecast. ‘The decision of the committee to provide for a new building was as predicted in The Star. It means that the plans drawn following the original authority given by the 1927 session of the uflshmre will be scrapped for the new plan. These provide for the use of the present building as a part of the new structure. Charles W.

ROCKVILLE, Md., July 20.—Further evidence of the exercise of jurisdiction as public park lands over the strip in North Takoma Park was given by Ta- koma Park town officials and formet officials here yesterday in the hearing {before Kenneth Lyddane, examiner in chancery. in the controversy between the muncipal corporation and the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad over the con- tinued use by the latter in delivering of freight to consignees from a siding to trucks parked on the public lands. Ben G. Davis, who was town clerk | and treasurer from 1900 to 1926, and who has been mayor since tnat time Fred L. Lewton and E. E. Blodgett, foi mer councilmen, all gave details of | work performed on the strip at public | expense by reason of the iact that it | was public park property. ‘Testimony Halted. ‘The taking of testimony came to & | halt yesterday and will not be resumed, | it was sald, until next Wednesday or | Thursday, whichever day is convenient for the appearance of Daniel Willard, | president of the Baltimore & Ohlo | Railroad, who has been subpoenaed to | appear as a witness for the «-fendant | in the suit, the town of Takoma Park. | He, it was said, will be followed by | several more witnesses on behalf of the | town, and rebuttal witnesses to be put | on by William Stanley of Laurel and Willlam F. Prettyman of Rockville, | counsel for the railroad company. Mr. Lewton, who said that he became | g in controversy was made in the | few years subsequent to that, and then | only for railroad camp trains. He iden- | tified a printed circular of the parks | committee of the Takoma Park Citizens' | Association of 1909, recommending that the town council consider the question of improvement of the public parks, and | particularly mentioning the square | south of a then existing hotel on | Takcma avenue and the adjoining rail- | road. Questioned as to why he knew | that the strip in question was referred to, he said that a public fund was raised by voluniary contributions, and | one of the largest contritutors was an | owner of property facing the siding. | who specified that it was to be used on | this plot. He said that he made a| motion in the council that the public | { contribution fund be matched dollar for dollar by the town. Directed Work on Strip. | Mr. Blodgett, who said he moved to | Takoma Park in 1889, and who was for | 14' years a member of the council, said | that as chairman of the street commit- | tee he directed the performance of work | on the strip in question, including the | cutting of grass and weeds. At that | time, he said, the plot was in grass. He said that a carload of lumber had been | delivered to iim at North Takoma and | he refused to eccept it there, because | At that time the hauling was done by horses, and the distance was too great. | He said the side track was placed there | originally for the purpose of delivering | lumber for the hotel. Mr. Davis testified that he first knew the public park lands of the town in 1900, soon after he became town clerk when he made a thorough study of the whole town from plats. He said it was a matter of common knowledge in the | town and official knowledge to the council that the strip was public park Jand. And testified it was mentioned | in the town minutes. The first com- | plaints in regard to the use of the siding for the delivery of the freight, | he told the court, came to the council in 1915. Beginning again in 1928, the complaint in this respect, he said, were almost continuous, culminating in a special meeting of the town body in April, 1928, when the matter was con- sidered fully, and instructions were given to the civic improvement committes to formulate regulations for the abate- ment of the nuisance. He, too, said | that the town had spent funds in| cleaning up the strip. | On cross examination. he said he could not say that freight was not de- livered there in 1900, and alse told the | court that the town had interposed no | objection to the delivery of cinders to it | there by the railroad. He testified that | the council in discussing questions re- | lating to its parks considered them as a | whole, and the strip in question was a part of them. Asked why nc action had been taken to improve the‘strip as far back as 1915, he said there were no funds available for such improvement. He was questioned particularly by Mr. Stanley of rallroad counsel, in regard to certain minutes refersing to a com- plaint, and which said that the town was in doubt as to its powers in the matter. He explsined that at the time the corporation limits only extended to the raflroad right of way, and the ref- erence in the minutes did not mean that the council had no authority over the strip in question. —— e FOUR DOCTORS FIGHT TO SAVE INJURED CHILD! 1 A.

HIGHEST PRICE PAID FOR COUNTY BONDS Prince Georges Commission- ers Sell $425,000 of Road Securities at $98. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md, July 20.— Recelving the highest bid offered for county bonds in the State of Maryland this year, the Prince Georges County | Commissioners yesterday sold $425,000 | of their lateral road bonds to the Balti- more Trust Co., at the rate of $98. ‘The sale of the bonds concludes a | series of negotiations with various financial concerns lasting over a month. | ‘The bonds were first put on the market early in June. Initial bids of $96.68 were rejected, and two weeks later an- other bid of $97.68 was received, but | also rejected. | Satisfied With Sale. | In view of the unfavorable condition | of the market, and of the fact that all | other counties have had to sell their bonds for less amounts, the Prince| Georges commisiosners expressed satis- faction at being able to dispose of their bonds for $98. The sale clears the way for immediate commencement of opera- tions on several roads this Summer ‘The bonds are part of a $550,000 issue authorized at the last session of the Legislature. They pay 4% per cent interest and are returnable in 30 years. In addition to disposing of the bonds the commissioners yesterday conferred with the State Roads Commission in Baltimore on their road program.

By the Associated Press. DANVILLE, Va., July 20.-Calling for an outspoken and a free press, Louis L Jaffe, editor of the Norfolk Virginian Pllot, speaking at the annual banquet of the Virginia Press Association here last night, said that the need in Vir- ginia and elsewhere in the South is not for newspapers “freer from legal restric- tions imposed by law, but newspapers freer from self-imposed inhibitions.” The editorfal Pulitzer prize winner for 1928, discussing the “press and Vir- ginia's coming of age” asserted there is a joint responsibility here on the part of Virginia and her newspapers. Vir- ginia, he said. should temper her com- ing of age with wisdom and grace and human understanding “that come with the age of discretion” and t news- paper should serve “at once as the criers of her wares and resources and as the jealous watchdogs of her liberty.” Independence Good. Mr. Jaffe declared that it was good for Virginia and the Virginia press that editorial pages are “today as never before cultivating the art and technique of political independence.” “As one Virginia editor.” he said, “I rejoice that as unimaginative, uncritical, soft-soap- ing alliance between the newspapers and the established State government, directed as this alliance used to vac- einating the public mind against the contagion of rival political doctrine.” “The emancipation of the eruder FILLING STATION ACTION DELAYED Ariington Zoning Board, on| Reconsideration, Postpones | Decision on Project. | By & Staff Correspondent of The Star. | ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT i HOUEE, July 20.—The application hav-| ing been returned to them for further consideration, by the board of county | supervisors, the Arlington County | Zoning Commission last night decided | that the request of Mrs. George H.| Eckert for a permit to erect a filling | station at the corner of Glebe road and Lacey street, Ballston, presents a major | zoning problem and as such cannot be | acted upon at this time. } The Zoning Commission had pre- viously taken favorable action on the application, but by the time it reached the board of county supervisors for ratification several protests had been filed, so the higher body returned it to the Zoning Commission.
