BALTIMORE, September 16.—The suggestion made by Mayor William F. Broening of Baltimore that it might be possible to use a portion of the city port development commission's funds t0 help finance the proposed Chesapeake Bay bridge has met with considerable approval on the Eastern Shore, accerd- ing to reports received here. It is the opinion of business men and civic bodies thete that it would be a serious mistake for Baltimore City to | permit the project to go by default| because of the inability of the bridge company to dispose of its bonds on a favorable money market. Large sums of money have been spent by the Delmarva Eastern Shore Asso- ciation and its associate_chambers of | commerce throughout the Delmarva peninsula in advertising the advantages that would accrue to both sides of the bay through some quicker means of communication than ferry service now affords. Baltimore City is looked upon.as the logical metropolis with which the peninsula‘s agricujtural, commercial and industrial activities should be associated. ( From the ~tremendous increase " in motor traffic on the Eastern Shore dur- ing recent years the people of the Eastern Shore are convinced that the bridge will prove a paying investment. ROCKVILLE.

BANBURY, England, September 16 LG TOMORRDH N REZONNG AT Decision Expect'ed to éhangef Two Halpine Parcels to Industrial Status. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md. September 16.— Decision on the petitions to rezone three parcels of land at and near Halpine, one to commercial and two to indus- trial, and all from the present classifi- cation of residential, it was said today, will be made at the meeting of the| board of county commissioners here to- | morrow afternoon. It was indicated that the members of the board would not discuss the mat- | { ter officially again until that time. While there has not been an intimation | ]trom the members of the board as to, what their decision would be as to any of the parcels, there are indications from several sources that at least the two industrial properties would be so classed. Decision Rests With Dr. Perry. Although the entire board of county commissioners sat as a board of zoning appeals at Bethesda Friday night, when scores of residents came to protest against the proposed rezoning, and told the board that the present petitions were but an entering wedge for an in- | crease of the area surrounding the | present affected parcels as industrial, it was indicated that the decision would rest largely with Dr. Benjamin C. Perry, president of the board, and commjs- sioner representing the district in which the proposed rezoning is sought. | While county officials would not defi- nitely commit themselves on the de- cision, the trend of discussion, particu- larly with regard to the industrial {changes sought, indicated that they saw no way that this could be legiti- mately denied along the line of the | Baltimore & Ohilo Railroad. the logical place for industrial develop- ment, it was said, and the opinion was | expressed that there would be no resi- | dential development along the railroad. | At the same time there were speakers at | the hearing Friday night who said that they lived along the railroad and did not find it undesirable. It was disclosed yesterday that the | Baltimore & Ohio Railrcad Co. some | months ago had made a move to have all of the land along its right of way in the metropolitan district, now zoned &s { residential, rezoned as Industrial for a distance of 200 feet on either side of its This was | R.

Special Dispatch to The Star. FREDERICK, Md., September 16.— Their plane crashing into a tree as they attempted to leave the ground, Lieut. L. F. White, Logan Field, Baltimore, and {Mrs. A. W. Geiske, Catonsville, were slightly injured yesterday afternoon, |near Walkersville, this county. The plane was demolished. The plane had taxied down the fleld for seve: hundred yards and struck the tree as it took the air. The plane fell about 50 feet, burying its nose in the right of way. This would indicate a proposal for an industrial development following a strip along the full length of the railrGad. Nothing was done with the suggestion at the time. Should the zoning appeals board, which is made up only of two commis- sioners within the metropolitan district, the other two being from the rural dis- tricts in other parts of the county, de- { cide for industrial zoning, it will run counter to the ercommendations of the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, composed of three men from Prince Georges County and three from Montgomery County. who are charged with the duty of watching and planning the orderly de- velopment of the county. Of course, under the same theory of 1ocal self-gov- ernment, the recommendations of the commissioners from each county affect- ing their particular county are closely followed by the commissioners in the other county. The Montgomery County | park and planning commissioners’ are Robert G. Hilton of Rockville, Joseph H. Cissel of Silver Spring and George P. Hoover of Chevy Chase. While these | ofmcials not expert city planners, they have at their disposal a planning | expert in the person of Irving G. Root, chief engineer of the commission. With all of the expert advice before them, the planning commission voted against all of the rezoning proposals, which result. ed in the appeal to the higher tribunal Much Interest Aroused. Nothing has stirred up so much in- terest in the county since the famous fight ag: t the installation of the belt line railway through the lower end and the fight against the zoning is for the same pugnse as the fight against the belt line Yallway—that is to protect, resi- dences against the encroachme of industriaism. The fight against the belt line raflway was a bitter one and | the present controversy is none the less bitter between the owners of residences, on the one hand, and the eral estate promoters on the other, The controversy has been fraught with charges and counter charges and with statements alleged to have been made by workers for the organization Democrats, who are alleged to have told residents that the matter of rezoning had been decided upon long before the hearing. This is not a fact, it was learned, and county leaders are known the whole question would be decided on its merits, based entirely upon the testi- mony offered at the public hearing. The kearing has not served to reduce any of the fire and whether the smouldering embers will be rekindled by an adverse decision for either side, coming up in the way of court action, remains to be seen. — HURT IN DETROIT.
