Washington Grove Heads
Adopt Charter Changes
The town of Washington i <
Grove, with a population of 1 1
around 550, voted unanimous j'
approval last week of a new ,
town charter that has been ,
rewritten “from A to Z.” I,
Mayor George A. Pughe, 44, ,
now completing his third, one- ,
year term, said the job of re
vising the charter took a little ,
more than two years.
As important as any of the j,
many new features in the char- J,
ter was one the town retained: (
firm measures that make loca-!,
tion of commercial or industrial
enterprises well nigh impossible
in the Grove.
Held over was a law requir-, -
ing an affirmative two-thirds j,
vote of the electorate before
commerce or industry can estab- ,
lish a beach head in the tree-,
shaded community.
One of the.new charter pro
visions incorporated what
Mayor Pughe called referendum
initiative power that, in effect,
would let the electorate over
ride decisions of the mayor and
council.
The measure was incorporat
ed In order that elected offi
cials could not push across mu
nicipal decisions not approved
by the majority of voters, Puglie
said.
The rewritten charter was
based largely _ on Maryland’s
home rule bill passed in 1955.;
which contained a model char- 1
ter, Pughe said. Among the
model charter’s enabling fea
tures ignored by Washington
Grove was a provision allowing
special tax assessments.
The town is financed from
four sources: a 10-cent property
tax for every SIOO assessed val
uation: a 25 cents bond tax per
SIOO valuation: a front-foot ben
efit tax of 10 cents per foot for
any town construction: a flat;
$23 per house dwelling tax.
| Of the town’s four “agencies." j
only the supervisor of parks,
building and grounds, and the
treasurer receive salaries. The
| T
Higher Education, and the'
American Academy of Political
and Social Science.
Congregational hymn singing
will open the 8 p.m. revival
services. The public has been
; invited to the meetings by the
I Rev'. B. Frank Foster, church
pastor.
A full week of evangelistic
services will conclude at the
Twinbrook Baptist Church to
morrow at 8 p.m., with Dr
Clarence W. Cranford, minister
of Washington's Calvary Bap
tist Church, preaching. He will
speak tonight on “Patched Gar
ments or New Robes?” His'
final sermon will be “Operation
Andrew.”
An all-family church supper
of the Bethesda Congregational
Church will be held tomorrow
at 6:30 p.m. at the Warner Me
morial Presbyterian Church in
Kensington. Special entertain
ment will be a play with an
African theme written and di
rected by Mrs Morris T. Jones
of the church's board of Chris

Approved in the new charter
was a two-year term for mayor,
now a one-year term. Retained
were the three-year council
terms, two of which come up for
re-election every two years.
Election Day and Town Meet
ing Day were changed from the
second Saturday of July to the
second Saturday in June of an i
election year. Another charter
change was abolition of the 10-
cent ceiling on the property tax
rate, Pughe said.
The new charter, approved by
the town Thursday last week,
was ordered advertised for 40
days, and will become effective
after 50 days if no one submits
a petition requesting the char
tei be put to referendum vote.

TCA Starts
Drive for
Teen Center
The Twinbrook Citizens A.- o
ciation has mounted an all-out
drive to have Rockville erect a
teenage center, just like the Fl
wood Smith teen center in
Hungerford Towne, on a city
owned site next to the Twin
brook swimming pool.
Louis M. Gross, TCA presi
dent, has started a month-long
survey on community senti
ment for or against the center
at its proposed location.
The 1.7-acre tract is south of
Veirs Mill rd. and just east of
Atlantic ave. Gross estimated
that the teenage center wou.J
probably cost less than the
$42,000 invested In the Elwood
Smit i center.
Furthermore, he said, the
city’s new preliminary master
plan calls for a recreation cen
tet almost exactly at the site
singled out by TCA. Gross said
TCA hopes to convince the city
to build the new teen center in
the coming fiscal year.
Estimated tax cost of the
center and its operation, with
normal amortization, averages
out to approximately 65 cents
per year for all Rockvillites,
Gross asserted.
Another good feature about
the location, Gross said, was
that it is just across Atlantic
ave. from the new branch li
brary in the basement of
Peoples drugstore. Children
could patronize both places I
with equal ease, he said.
Results of the TCA survey
will be tabulated and presented
to the mayor and city council,
Gross said.
