Damascus, Md. CL 1-2284 MI. AIRY 22 The four-story structure of glass, steel and porcelain panels eventually will be able to con tain 1600 workers, a GEICO spokesman said. Unusual features of the build ing include wide use of special glare-reducing glass, imported! from West Germany. Brown in exterior appearance, the glass! allows clear viewing from in side. By Mayor from P. 1 Bright Future Seen for City V One suggestion, for example, envisions E. Montgomery Ave nue as a pedestrian mall, with traffic routed around the edges of the business district. Another possibility is the complete redesign of the now blighted area between E. Middle Lane and Highway 355. This could involve new streets and public parks as well as planned commercial development. Slum portions of Lincoln Park and aimilar areas could be cleaned up and redeveloped in a more orderly fashion. Other areas, such as Stone street Avenue along the B&O tracks, could be opened to in dustrial development, now vir tually impossible because the land is cut up into tiny lots be longing to many owners. All this can be done, under the urban renewal provisions, without permanently tieing up any city funds. “In the long run. It should prove profitable,” Greene said, "because the value of all land will be greatly increased.” First step In the program will be to assign the planning func tion to an appropriate city agency: the City Council itself, the planning commission, or a new body created especially for the purpose. Once a plan has the approval of HHFA, the city would buy all the land in the area involved, either through negotiation or condemnation. The land would then be re-sold to private inter ests for development in accord ance with the overall plan. Government financing would play an important role in all the transactions, absorbing a substantial portion of whatever loss might be entailed in the buying and selling. There may be at least a tem porary legal bar to some of these broad dreams. This is a provision in the state constitu tion prohibiting condemnation of land for other than “public | use.” Legal authorities are not agreed as to whether urban re newal property, although clear ly involving a “public purpose,” can be strictly interpreted as having a “public use.” To eliminate this possible re striction, a constitutional amend ment will be submitted to the voters in November, 1960, which would remove any doubt as to the legality of urban renewal procedures. In announcing the approval of Rockville’s request for parti cipation, the HHFA noted that the city’s population has leaped from about 7000 to about 25,000 since 1950. The Agency also took note of the city's development of hous ing, building, plumbing, electri cal and fire codes; the pending adoption of a master plan; and ! the adoption of a set of sub | division regulations.
