0 * COUNTYTORENEW LAND CONFERENCE Rockville Committee Wil Meet With Church Trustees Sept. 12 to Seek Contract. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Sta® Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 3.— Another effort will be made September 12 to acquire by private sale the proper- ty of the Presbyterian Church in the square west of the present courthouse lot, which is to be added to the site for the proposed new courthouse, it was learned today from an authoritative source. The county commissioners were today asked to call a special meeting of the courthouse building committee for that night to confer with the trustees of the Presbyterian Church in a final effort to adjust the differences in the prices asked by the trustees and offered by the county commission- ers for the parcel on which the church stands. The church trustees have fixed & price of $42,000 for their land, while the building committee has set the price at $30,000. In the meantime, however, Joseph C. Cissel of the firm of Cissel and Wood- ward, counsel for the county commis- sioners, announced that they would in- stitute’ condemnation proceedings in the Circuit Court. It was pointed out, on the other hand, that should the building committee be successful on M‘Yndn.v night _in adjusting the price with the church officials, that the con- #emnation proceeding would then be withdrawn. There is only one other par¢él in the square which will be the subject of fur- ther conference, This is the Robertson property, which adjoins the land of the Farmers' Banking & Trust Co. While the Krlce for this property is agreeable to the building committee and to the county commissioners, it was said that the contract which was offered by the owner was not satisfactory to the Mont- gomery County government officials. One of its provisions stipulated that the owner was to have use of the land and improvements until the proposed new building for the Farmers’ Banking & Trust Co. is completed and ready for occupancy. This feature proved objec- tionable. With the land problem settled, it is probably that bids will soon be asked for the construction of the west unit of the proposed new building.
