SUBURBAN NEWS, RVERDALE TOLAY " | NEW SEWERDRANS - BOARD WITHHOLDS SIGNBOARD PERMIT Prince Georges Officials De- lay Action Due to Rezon- ing Incident. By a Staft Corresbondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBOROC, Md., Septem- ber 4--Displeared by ‘the action of a property owner who filed application to erect a roadside sign within a week after obtaining reclassification of. his property from residential to commercial, the Prince Georges County commis- sloners yesterday agreed to require all future applicants for zoning changes to state in writing the purpose for which they intend using their land if the change is ordered. i The commissioners voted to withhold the permit to erect the sign at least: another week to allow James C. Black- | well, county clerk, to communicate with both the property owner and the | Maryland-National Capital Park and | Planning Commission. i Written Approval Asked. Blackwell was instructed to inform J. B. Cochran, president of the Frank- lin National Bank, owner of the prop- erty involved, that a permit to erect the sign would not be issued unless he obtained the written approval of the park commission. The property lies along the Baltimore boulevard, near Paint Branch, College Park. ‘The clerk was also instructed to, write the park group that the county board had a “gentleman’s understand- ing” with Thomas E. Hampton, sec- retary of the planning commission, that he would “use his influence” with Cochran to prevent the erection of & roadside sign. The board was outspoken in pro- claiming that it would not have granted the change in zoning had it believed the property would be used for roadside signs. Commissioner Brice Bowie, repre- senting the suburban area, claimed there was strong sentiment against additional advertising signs. Told of Approval. ‘When the application was given hear- ing last week, the board was informed the Park Commission had conditionally approved the change, suggesting that only a portion of the lots involved be reciassified, inasmuch as they were in- formed the owner had announced the change was desired so as to erect a public swimming pool. Upon Hampton's Tequest, hbwever, the county commis- eloners approved the change for the full depth of the lots. The application for the permit to erect the signs give the P. & H. Morton Co. as the builders and estimate the cost at $500. LEAVES FOR POST. J. Hall Paxton Completes Furlough | at Home in Danville. Special Dispatch to The Star. DANVILLE, Va., September 4.—J.
