MLLONS SOLGHT | FOR PBLC WORK| Montgomery. and Frederick Officials Attend District Committee Parley. BY JACK ALLEN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. FREDERICK, Md., July 7.—A barrage of applications for Federal loans aggre- gating several million dollars was being fired at the Public Works Committee for the sixth congressional district of Maryland by county and civic officials of Montgomery and Frederick counties at the meeting in City Hall here today to prepare plans ior the pretentious program of public improvements sched- | uled to be carried out in this area with money made available by the national recovery act. More than 50 leaders from the two counties went into conference with the committee shortly after 10 o'clock and made ready to submit their eppeals for loans with which to develop important school, road, sewer, water and park | projects. Lewis Calls Meeting. The meeting was called to order by Representative David J. Lewis of| Cumberland, chairman of the Public ‘Works Committee which will supervise the distribution of Federal loans allocat- ::kfor improvement work in this dis- t. 3 . president of the board of Montgomery County Commissioners, who was the first of the officials to be heard by the committee, advised the public works group that Mont- gomery County has funds available with which to finance a portion of a school construction program totaling $750,000 and an elaborate road program embracing 14 items on which figures are not available at this time and asked that the committee approve the grant- ing of sufficient Federal funds to carry out this work. Shaw told the committee that the county has on hand $204,075.21 to aid in completing the system of important arterial highways included on the pro- gram which he presented with the county’s application, while he declared that Montgomery also has available $525,000 to finance 70 per cent, or the county’s share, of a program of necas- sary school construction work to pro- vide adequate facilities for the children ©of Montgomery County. $750,000 School Program. ‘The school program is identically the e as the $750,000 school construc- lon program of the Montgomery County Civic Federation published in ‘The Star yesterday and has the in- dorsement of State Senator Robert G. Hilton, a majority of members of the Montgomery County delegation in the Maryland General Assembly, the Civic Federation, Montgomery County Gov- ernment Club and the Board of Com: missioners, Shaw said. It was explained by Shaw that a 30 per cent grant by Federal authorities on the $750,000 school program would per- mit the completion of the school pro- gram, first devised by the county ad- ministration as a part of its platform in 1931 and subsequently approved by leading civic organizations, but which ‘was not completed because ot a lack of funds. Shaw explaining the road program, said that a reasonable amount of State aid is _expected on the im- rovement of Wisconsin avenue be- 'ween Bethesda and the District line, while a similar State expenditure from purely State funds is expected to be allocated for improvements along Con- necticut avenue and Massachusetts avenue extended and that a 30 per cgn Federal granf coupled with the $304,075.21 that Montgomery has avail. sble would allow completion of the road schedule. Edmonds Follows Shaw. Dr. George L. Edmonds, member of the board on Montgomery County Com- missioners, followed Shaw on the floor apd advised the Public Works Commit- tee that the Montgomery commission- ers had approved the programs of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Com- mission and the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commis- slon, which would be explained by representatives of those two bodies. The Park and Planning Commissions’ schedule, Dr. Edmunds said, calls for the expenditure of $262,300 for the [ development of the Sligo Valley Park- 'way, Cabin John Creek and Rock Creek [ Parks. ‘The commission, he declared, has $100,000 in cash available, is seeking to borrow $118,000 on short-term secur- ities already authorized by the State Legislature, and is requesting a 30 per cent Federal grant to furnish the re mainder of the funds needed for com- pletion of the program. J. Bond Smith and Irving C. Root, eral counsel and chief engineer for he Park and Planning Commission, respectively, told newspaper men that the commission’s plan would include the erection of shelters, construction of athletic fields, roads, bridges, the installation of recreational equipment, fountains and landscaping work in both units of each park.
