$785,525 CITY BUllET PRESENTED; $500,000 BOll. ISSIE PROPOSED

by AI Skolnik

A nominations and elections committee consisting of 5 members will be elected for a 1-year term through nominations from the floor at the Wednesday night meeting.

Voting for candidates Is by secret ballot, with each member asked to vote for as many. choices as there are vacancies. The candidates getting the highest number of votes are declared winners. Unlike city elections, no previous regIstration Is needed to vote. Membership In the housing co-op (GHI) entitles a member to vote. Each family Is entitled to only one ballot and vote .

By-law changes In addition to the elections, the

membership will have before It bylaw changes. The amendments for the most part are Intended to bring the by-laws into conformity with corporation PQiicles and practices that have developed over the years and to clarify provisions that have produced confusion.

Among the major changes are: (1) clarification as to the circumstances under which the GHI board of directors will go Into executive session; (2) clarification of powers of GHI board; (3) clarification of regulations dealing with financial matters; ( 4 l retitling of officers; <5l clarifirntlon as to when a newly·clrctrd nominations and elections committee assumes office; anrl (6) revision of amounts authori?.rd to be deposited with insured financial institutions - from $10,000 to $20,000.

Of more substantive nature arc by-law proposals that (1) the board be allowed to enter Into new fields of business enterprise, but only when specifically authorized by the membership at a membership meeting; and (2) the corporation be permitted to lliiJeiB members for violation of parking regulations, not to exceed $15. ·

Closing of Roadway

A preview of the 1968-69 municipal budget, presented ~ city council on Monday ,May 6, by city manager James Giese, revealed no planned increase in the real estate tax rate of $0.87 per $100 of assessed valuation. However, an increase of 50 cents per month in refuse collection charges is being proposed Total expenditures of $785,525 are being anticipated, an increase of more than $90,000 over the current fiscal year.

The highlight of the budget Is· a proposal that a bond Issue In the amount of $500,000 be authorized to finance a number of major capital projects, Including an addition to the Youth Center, new tennis courts, purchase of additional parkland, parkland development, and major street construction projects.

The -bond issue would require ap· proval of the voters at a referendum.

"By undertaking these projects now," Giese said, "we will be able to meet better the future needs of our growing city and enjoy the benfits now." He stated that by Issuing bonds, the city will Insure that future residents will share in paying the costs. He pointed out further that the project can be built at pre-. sent-day lower costs, assuming fur- . ther Inflation.

Since it would be several years before all these projects could be implemented, the bonds would be issued only as required. The effect on the tax rate for any single year would thus be minimal.

It is assumed that the $500,000 bond issue would be supplemented by $193,000 from Federal aid in the form of opm space funds and urban secondary rmid funds.

Ji'und Distribution The distl'ibution of the funds

would b<' for the following major projects:

<1 l Reconstruction of Southway. Between the Baltimore-Washington Parkway exit and Ridge, it is .proposed that Souhtway be constructed as a four-lane divided boule· vard with a grassy, tree-planted median strip. Between Ridge and Crescent, It Ia proposed to widen the street slightly but malnt&ln only the present two travel lines.

<2) Springhill Lake Streets. City IU!IIlatance may be needed In the construction of an acceea road to re· place Edmonston Road, either by extending Sprlnchlll Lane through the - rear of Board of Education property or by extendlnc Breezewood Drive to Kenilworth Ave. City funds would alao )le uaed to

SHL Republican Club

pay for the extra cost of constructing the perimeter road at a width greater than that required fol' a normal street In an apartment de"· velopment.

(3) Perimeter-Road Right-of-Way Acquisition. Right-of-way Is needed along the northern side of the citY. and because there are several small parcels Involved, acquisition by sub· dividing of the property cannot be expected.

(4) Youth Center addition to en· compass a game room having pool tables, ping pong, a Teen Club lounge, a Golden Age Club lounge with separate outside entrance, ad· ditional arts and crafts space, rec• reation classrooms, and shower facilities.

!5) Twelve tennis courts. (6) Park Land Acquisition. Three

major areas proposed for parkland acquisition are Indian Creek flood plain north of the Beltway in the Springhill Lake North section, the flood plain on parcel 2 located ahng th~ eastern city limit, and the rcnt~r of the Smith and Ewing property north of Glendale road and ~net of th~ Baltimore-Washington Parkway,

(7) Lalcc Park Development. Funds would be used to implement the recommendations of a development pian for Greenbelt Lake that is now being prepared.

The flrst council meetings on the budget arc scheduled for tonight <May 9l, and Tuesday, May 14. The budget must be adopted by June 10.

Coa1cil leeks S1fe1••~• On Spriag~ill Like lotel

W AI Slcolalk A meeting has. been called by city council for this Mon-

dii(Y to see if a.n accord can be reached on how to guarantee the use of some 6 acres in Springhill Lake North for ~nstruction of a motel-convention center with shopping arcade, but excluding a gasoline station. Invited to the meeting were representatives of Springhill Lake nia.nagement, the city solicitor, and ~embers of the city's Advisory Planning Board.

The six acres lying between the State Roads property and the city cemetery on Kenilworth Ave. have been the subject of a rezoning peti· tion to C-2 <General Commercial) by the Springhill Lake management, which Indicated plans for a motel and gasoline station.

The council at last Monday's meeting expressed approval of the motel complex, but reiterated IIlii concern that the C-2 zoning would permit all types of commercial operations, not all of which would be desirable. The council Is seeking a way of restricting the development of this acreage to the type of construction promised by the owners of the property.

Harold Kramer, representing the Sprln,rhlll Lake management, llta· ted that the city would be protec· ted since the gasoline station and other uses considered undesirable by the city could not be constructed without first obtaining a special exception.

The cquncll, however, expressed

Constitution Vote May 14 A special election, In which the

only ltem1 voted upon will be Maryland's proposed new constitution, will be held between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 14. If approved~ the constitution will become law on July 1, except for such Items 1111 Charter Home ·Rule for coimties, for which a transltlon period has been provided.

The propoeed constitution would· completely --revise -tlie juillclal -sys: tem, lower the voting age to 19 and make county home rule mandatory after January 8, 1971. It was prepa-red by the Constitutional Con· vention elected last September and _ has received widespread bipartisan support from many organizations.

Endoned by Council Among those publicly expressing

support for the proposed constitution Is the Greenbelt City Council, which on April 1, by a 4 to 1 vote, endorsed the document. The lone opposer was Councilman Bill Hoff, who felt concerned about the cur· tailed powers of municipalities under the new constitution.

Copies of the constitution have been distributed In Greenbelt by Boy Scout Troop 2746, and can be obtained free of charge from the Greenbelt Library and Twin Pines. They arc also distributed by tile Springhill Lake Democratic Club and by the recently formed "Republicans for Constitution" (call 47-1-6666 or 174-3471).

Polling will take place in Center School for voters of the 3rd precinct and in the Springhill Lal<e Community Center for those in the 8th. However, polling for 6th precinct voters will be held in the Greenbelt Baptist Church on Crescent and Greenhill, rather than In North End School where It is usually held.

Its preference for 801De kind of conditional zoning that would dl· rect1y commit the developer to the type of conatructlon shown In hill plans. -

Mayor Edgar Smltlr said that while "we have had excellent relations with the present Sprlngh!U Lake management. the property might conceivably change banda and we want to have safeguard&"

Petlf;lcug The council received a variety

of petitions and requeats dealing with recreational mattenr. A group ·~f boatownenr, led. _ by .. ~rp Loutsch, 13 Maplewood, submitted petitions requeatlnr council to re-

scind the recently-adopted ann~ fee of $3 for a boat permit. Their objections centered o~ the annual fee as opposed to a one-tlm\..re tration fee of $1, anll Its &o t which the~ felt was ,discrlmlna • ry.

City manager James Giese and the Park and Recreation AdVIsory Board favored an annual permit requirement so that the city could have an up-to-date record of boat permits. The annual fee was ~~Ct at $3 so as to cover administrative costs.

A motion to switch from an an· nual fee to a one-time registration fee paid just once Willi defe~~oted 3-2, with Smith and c6uncllman Francis White In the minority.

Tennla Courte A group of tennis playera sub

mitted petitions requeatlng renovation · and resurfacing of existing tennis . court:& and comrtructlon of additional one&. · Acknowledclnc that the present _courts are In deplorable condition, Giese said that the 1968/~9 budget does not ·Include funds for, tennis courts from current Income. However, the bud· get calls for a bond Issue which would Include $70,000 for 12 new tennis courts.

Discussion followed as to whether the tennis courts should be centrally located at Braden Field or located In several areas. It was decided to take the matter up with the budget, when an overall plan for the development of the lakepark area will be considered.

The Lakeside Citizens Association requested that the land at the foot of OlivewOQ,d Court abutting the lake be developed for recreational purposes and not left as open play area, with first priority given to coml:>ination tennis and ba.sh::t'tball ro•trt.

The matter was referred to management and the city's advleory boards.

Bicycle Pathe In other recreational mattere,

council authorized a bicycle rental conceaaion to SCH corporation at the Lake for 12 bikes, and man· agement W88 directed l9 review the posalbility of reAurfaclng pathwaya. Concern was expre~ from the floor that ACtion ot coun· cll would attract out-of-townel'll and create congestion.

The city council will consider at Its next regular meetlnc on May 20 the closing of the road behind the Municipal Building. This Is the road that connects the center : achool with the West parking lot. 'City Manager James K. Giese has recommended this action beca\llle of accidents that occurred as a result of police cars backing out of parking spacea at the Municipal Bulldlnc Into c&rs which cut through the roadw&y. Closing the road will also create a total of alx additional parking spaces.

The newly formed Bpringhlll Lake Republican Club will meet at 8 p.m., Wednesday, May 15, at the Sp·ringhlll Lake Community Center. The guest spe&ker will be Jay, F.

tant to a·ur country and to ~aeh of us individually. I'd like to <'XPrt'"' some thoughts - on th<' subj~ct. First. ll't me state that I thin!< progress in this situation hingrs on two imoortant factors. On~. wlwn violPnce. looting. or burning on~ur. our law ('nforcf'rs must be alloWl'd to usc whatrv('r force is nrcflgsar~;

to bring tlw affair to an end. The law \"ic>lators must be .arrested. brought to justice. and punished according!)·. A frC<' societr cannot sun·h·e without law and order. Two, we must try to cr'l>ate. in the short tim<' left to liS. conditions in which none of our citizens. black or white. has to suffer human degradation bccause of his color or station in life.

Each .of us can do a great deal to bring these conditions about. We can start by showing just simple human decency to those we encounter. We can make sure that our children are taught that character, and not color or status .. is a most important factor. More important, especially for those with religious beliefs, we can teach them that each human perso~. by his very nature, has an infinite· worth which is completely independent of his physical or men tal makeup.

I'm reminded of Pope John the 23rd of a few ·years ago. It s<'emed there was a continuous stream of Prot!.'Stants. Jews. and others coming to see this great man. These distinguished guests W!'r<'

certainly not attracted by the Pope's physical attributes. .Pope John often joked about his own homeliness. His mental prowess was. as he admitted, quite limited. Could It have been that these ~reat men took long journeys to visit for a few minutes with JohH because here was a man who r<'ally cared about people and with whom they felt completely comfortable? To him Jew, P..,testant. Negro or White all looked the same. He was somehow able to penetrate through the irrelevant surface characteristics to the real human ~rson. I wonder if this thing that he had is what's r<'ally needed to turn our· country right side up.

I think we can change things because people are· basically good. I think we can prove to those of the commune system that free men can control events. It· will he difficult for many of us because someone in the course of our 11\·es Ingrained in us feelings toward certain people that we can nelth«· <'Xpialn nor understand. But so is any operation painful. For those unable, for various r<'uons. to make the change, they can at leut glv.? moral support to tl:os•• trying to do, what In coMCI .. nec they must. to better thir.p.

Civil Rights and Violence Tlll're is a right and \\lrong wav

to change the laws, namely, the courts. Civil!, disobedience has been extolled by ;its champions as a form of expression that cannot morally or legally be interfered with even though it incites to violence. produces riots and results in the loss of millions of dollars worth of property and lives lost.

There is a need today for a differentiation between a moral conviction that a law ought to be amended or repealed and a deliberate at~mpt to encourage an ·individual to violate any law he doesn't like.

Nothing in .the Constitution says freedom of speech means the right to incite persons to destroy lives or property.

Those that bring out our history of violence during our war for ind<'prndcnee in comparison with what is going on "today, I would ask the question: we also had a history of slavery, docs this make sim•ery OK too?

I believe the responsible people .,! both races ar<' fed up to here with the disorders and violence that go on in the name of civil rights.

Slowly bnt surely the rights of all arc being undermined today and if the starry-eyed "liber&ls" would get their heads out of the sand they would sec this for themselves.

In fulfillment of an agreement made last year between .the city and the owners of pro!l"rtY at 40 and t.2 Lakeside, the Pub~; .. Worlrs Dept. eretterl a rustle tail fence between the rear of thos~ Jots and the pathway around the lake. Because the city's right-of-way at that location was too low and boggy to support the neccS!lary ac~ driveway for the cit~~s maintenance vehicles, the two lot owners agreed to allow the city a right-of-way on their own land. In exchange, the city agree<! to build the aforementioned rail fence.

Greenbelt Junior High's Selle~~ sponsored trips seem to have lll3J" tered.

This year the ninth grade trip to New York City Is scheduled for the weekend of May 25 and 21. Two bus loads of ninth graders will pull out of the school yard at I a.m. Saturday morning. Students will spend their next 42 hours touring Rockefeller Center, the United Nations, and the Empire State Building, attending a shOW' and movie at Radio City MuM Hall. cruising around Ma:nhattP Island, and resting up at the Sheraton-Atlantic HoteL' Students- will return to the school Sunday at U midnight:.

Work on the Eleanor Roosevelt Memorial on Crescent Rd. Is now almost complete. All construct!on has been finished and only the job of sandblasting the stone work remains to be done. This will be the first sandblasting to be undertaken by the city crew. They will use the city's own machine, now in the process of being acquired.

A 6-inch drain pipe is being installed to carry run-off from .the swimming pool deck and adjacent sidewalk past the handball court to the creek beside Braden Field. Previously the overflow was carried throug11 an open drnin.

The city crew spent many hours cleaning up broken branches and trees from public parks after the severe wind and rain storm Tuesday afternoon, April 30. GHI also· reported many calls for similar clean-up in residential properties. The Public Works Dept .placed a large temporary patch on a chuckhole in the pavement at Eastway and Crescent.

The nPw city crew in chargr of parks has bern sN'ding gra..."fi behind new curbing throughout the city, pruning trees and shrubs, and cutting grass. ..

Contractors for Charles Burton Builders were asked to remove a chemical toilet from the city's right-of-way on Lakecrest at its intersection with Lakeside.

Commissioners iss.ued a special warning to all parents to be especially alert to the dangers of youngsters playing in and around any open pits or excavations. and particularly gravel pits in the area during this period of spring rains.

A report issued by the U. S. Geological Survey states that much of Prince Geqrge·County rests on n slippery footing of Patapsco clay which is prone to landslides and cavo-ins. ·When rained upon, the slippery clays become unable to support the over-lying soils.

The Commissioners added that builders and excavators should be particularly careful in shoring excavation and trench walls .

y 0 u -AID THE NEW MARYLAND COISTITUTIOI Your First Chance in 100 Years To Modernize Maryland's Government

YOUR VOTE IS NEEDED -Previous uemands for constitutional reVISIOn, although approved by 0\"Cl'

wheiming state-wide refert'ndum, had been simply Ignored by the powers that mn the State on the premise that the total votes represented a minority of th<' elrdorate. Today Maryland has finally come forth, for the first time in a century, with a draft of a modern constitution, reflecting today's ~~eenc, and recognizing the mnny lessons we've learned over the past hundred ycl\rs in making a democratic government more etf~ctive.

In spite of this long-awaited opportunity to up-date our State government, spt"cial Interest groups· througout the State, particularly the holders of minor elective offices nrotected by the old constitution, are organizing opposition to the proposed constitution. Generally, theJIC groups are comprleed of etfectivc political profesalonals. Your vote - FOR adoption of the new CoMtltution - Is URGENT to assure that th<'SI' s~cial interest groups will not deny YOU, and the State of Maryland, a charter that has been recognized as a model for the other forty-nine

states.

The Proposed Constitution is endorsed by the following Organizations:

YOU WILL BENEFIT -• Fair apportionment gives you increased representation from Prince George's

County in the .. Maryland Legislature. • Home Rule .. rt'<Jull'NI. for all counties, will bring Jorol government clost'r to

you, permitting the "Legislature to concentrate on State-wide matters. • A Declaration of Rights extends your safeguards under the Federal Constitu-.

lion <such as double jeopardy) to State ci\!!Cs as well. l • Reduced age and residency requirements extends the vote to more of our

citizens. • A streamlined Executive Department would reduce . the 240 · administrative

boards. agencies, and departments to 20 principal departments. • A more representative Legislature would be elected ssingic member

districts. • A modern constitution should 118\"1' you tax money in more efficlen govern-

Revolutionary War Day At SmaDwood State Park

Sunday afternoon, May 12, will be marked as Revolutionary War Day In the Southem counties o( Maryland. The main celebration will be held at Smallwood State Park In Charles County, featuring music and musketry of the revolu· tlona.ry period and many other shows.

"Smallwood's Retreat" Back in 1776, General William

Smallwood was first commissioned as colonel of the First Maryland

·Regiment Smallwood's men soon galned a reputation for "the hottest blood In the Union", and historians credit their stand at the Battle of Long Island aa saving the entire American Army.

After the war, Smallwood built "Smallwood's Retreat", a mitall but handsome brick building overlookIng Ma.ttawoman creek near the Potomac river. The building baa

, been completely restored by the Smallwood Foundation, a cltlzllns' committee, and the State of Maryland has acquired 300 acrea of the liWTOundlng land for use as a park. Tile building wil be open to vfaftors during the celebra,Uons, which will last from 1 to 6 p.m .

Just as "Smallwood's Retreaf' has been ·preserved, the First Maryland Regiment Is still with us, evt'n though slightly under strength. Composed of over 50 dedicated history buffs and college students. the regiment will demonstrate tbeginning at 2 p.m.l Baron Von St~ubm's precision drill and flintlock musketry, while the regimental Fife and Drum Corps will play authentic tunes of the revolutionary war.

Othrr E\·tnt8 Also scheduled for the a.ftemoon

Is the performance ot a 1780 period comedy''The Contrast" by the Port Tobacco Players, beginning at 8:15 p.m. The Plegari Puppeta, who appeared In Greenbelt .aenraJ months ago, will give 5 pertormancea, and other exhibition., ahowe, and rides are allo .ched· uled.

Greenbelt Supports New Constitution By Large Majority

The 1968-69 municipal budget of $785,000· officially presented to city council last week, represents a. 13 percent increase in expenditures over fi.llCII.l-yea.r 1967-68 appropriations. Despite this increase, no hike in the current property tax rate of $0.87 per $100 assessed va.Iua.tion is anticipated. Helping to produce the $88,000 needed to ba.la.nce the budget will be increased financial aid from the State of about $36,000, a.n anticipated surplus of $10,200 from the current year's budget, and an increase of $26,000 from the real and personal property tax. The last item is attributable to an anticipated increMe of $3 million in the assessable tax base.
