SUBUR BAN NEWS.' THE EVE G STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, MONDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1929. SUBURBAN NEWS. o | GAS PERMIT FIGHT IN COURT PLANNED Lyon Village Action Based on Alleged Violation of Ordi- nance by Supervisors. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Cor: of The Etar. LYON VILLAGE, Va., December 2.— Basing their action on the wording of an ordinance that was passed on M by the board of county yon Village Cit today was prepari against the permit t urday for the erection of a gasoline filllng station on the Lee Highway op- posite Lyon Village. The executive committee met last night, those present having been Rob- ert N. Anderson, president of the asso- ciation; I. C. Buchanan and Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Freer. It was decided to carry the question to the highest tribunal if necessary. Provision of Ordinance, The ordinance on which it is p to base the request for states that “no permit for the erection of & commercial or industrial structure shall be granted without having been filed with and approved by the Zoning Commission. The Zoning Commission, it was pointed out by Anderson, first approved the permit, which was filed by Mrs. Marie Clark Bell, and later rescinded this action, at that time disapproving the issuance of the permit. On the strength of the latter action the execu- tive committee believes the board vio- lated its own ordinance because of the fact that the permit was not approved by _the Zoning Commission. ‘The objections to the location of the filling station at that point are based principally on the fact that the station will be located on what is considered a dangerous curve and that approach- ing traffic will be imperiled by auto- mobiles entering and leaving the sta- tion. Residents also claim’ that the site is located in a strictly residential section and that the presence there of the filling station will depreciate the value of their property. History of Case. The first application was filed by Mrs. Bell some months ago and was acted upon by the Zoning Commission without the residents of Lyon Village having been given sufficient time to prepare and present their objections. When the' matter was brought before the board of supervisors residents of the section affected pointed this.act out to the county governing body and the permit was returned to the Zoning Commission for reconsideration. At that time it was disapproved, and the commission, on the strength of what it believed to ‘have been an error on its part, passed a resolution to the effect that no further permit would be approved until suffi- cient notice had been given to persons affected, so that they might voice their approval or disapproval. anned ‘The matter then lay dormant for sev- | eral months until it was suddenly re- vived at Saturday's meeting of the board of supervisors by Attorneys Jesse, McCarthy, Phillips and Klinge. The permit was immediately approved, de- spite the fact that Lyon Village resi- dents did not know that it was to be presented at that time. ‘This makes two decisions of the board of supervisors that are being strenu- | ously fought by a number of the resi- dents of the county, the other being the permit recently issued to the Sun Oil Co. of Philadelphia for the erection | a_rehearing | [Officer Plays David, Kills 2 Ducks With Marble From Sling Special Dispatch to The Star.

WHEATLEY. Staff Correspondence of The Star. | BETHESDA, Md, Docember 2—In | what is expected to be a vain attempt to prevent the location of « domestic | sas-distributing plant adjacent to the | Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks: at Halpine, several hundred yards east of the Rockville pike, in the vicinity of the | Congressional Airport, scores of persons |are expected Wednesday night at the | county building here to appear before the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission to protest its proposed establishment. Much bitter- ness has been caused in the section over the proposed plant, and it has been hotly contested from its inception, with the application to the commission some time ago for a rezoning of the prop-| erty from residential to industrial. The rezoning has been approved, and the gas company already has placed some of its distributing tanks and building ‘mal,erm on the site. Adjourned Hearing. ‘The hearing scheduled for next week is an adjourned one from last week, fol- lowing a protest by F. Barnard Welch, attorney, of Rockville against proceed- ing in the absence of Robert G. Hilton, one of the members of the commission. Mr. Welch wanted all of the Montgom- | ery County members of the commission present. He represents certain of the protestants against the location. The proceedings Wednesday night, which will begin at 7 o'clock, because of the expectation of a long list of i speakers, are for the purpose of hear- | ing protests against the location of such a plant in the industrial area. Under the metropolitan district zoning act certain activities may be located in an industrial zone as a matter of right, but others, classed as “nuisance industries,” cannot be located without a special per- mit. ‘There is little doubt, it was indicated { by county officials in a position to know, that the issuance of & permit will fol- low the holding of the hearing. The present hearing, it was plainly said, is | for the purpose of complying with the of a large oil storage and distribution | 12W, nd it was decided upon when the plant on the Lee Highway in Rosslyn.

AFTER FINISHING HOME | Paralysis Stroke Takes Sam Siggins | in House He Built county officials learned that the prop- erty owners in the vicinity were plan- | ning to seek an injunction in the Cir- | cult Court to restrain the operators from establishing the plant on the proe posed site. Owners Incensed. Property owners in the vicinity are highly incensed at the action of the county commissioners in authorizing the rezoning, and the formation of the Rockville Pike Citizens' Association was a direct result of this action of the county governors. Several property owners, it was said, have put their hold- ings on the market as a result of the rezoning and because of the fear that the location of the gas plant s0 clos: to a residential community was highly dangerous. It is on the ground of the danger that the protestants will seek to forestall its establishment. Regardless of the outcome of the pro- ceedings Wednesday night, it was said that the opponents of the plant will take their fight through the Maryland courts in an effort to get a decision as to the rights in regard to zoning in the county.

These are planted according to color, correctly labeled, and visitors de- siring to compare varieties during the flowering season can easily do so. ‘The society’s annual iris show, which is held in Washington in May of each year, has become an event of more than local importance. The American Iris Society, with which the local body is affiliated, each year awards silver and bronze medals for the most attractive exhibits. The American Dahlia Society likewise annually awards medals at the Fall exhibition, which is devoted to the dahlia. Plans are already under way by the new administration for the forthcoming sprln¥ exhibition, which promises to be one of the most comprehensive displays of the iris ever staged by the soclety.
