Mayor Washington White an nounced after the meeting that the Town Council will meet sometime next week to decide what steps to take. Laytonsville, which incorpor ated in 1892, is made up of about one-third square mile with a population of 212 per sons. There are 66 homes here. The annexation proposal would more than double the town’s present size. Mayor White said. Only outspoken objector to the plan was former mayor and councilman Lewis Kibbee. “I am against annexation in the absence of a definite plan,” he said. “The issue is zoning and nothing else and there would be no benefits derived either for the town’s people or those in the area to be annexed.” Mayor White disagreed, say ing that the town has “reached the point that it must either expand or dissolve.” Many residents attending the meeting, called by Mayor White the largest he has seen, favored the annexation and said they want to see the town grow in order for families to stay together. At present, there are no lots in Laytons ville which have not been im proved. SANTA] TWINBROOK ARRIVES mirn mmSKmSM Come One-Come All TWINBROOK SHOPPING CENTER • VIERS MILL RD.

A motion to raise the collec tion rates by 50 cents was over whelmingly defeated, however, after lengthy debate. Another suggestion to raise the rates to lower the almost sll-million spent for debt ser vice also met cool reception. The terms “champagne” and “deluxe” service applied to the WSSC by certain members met with mixed reaction. While some residents were glad that collectors would come around behind their houses to make pick-ups, others said that this was an extravagant meth od. and that substantial savings could be realized by setting cans and boxes in front on the curbs on trash days. Mrs. Blanche Lawton said that if the rates were raised, she wants to be able to deduct for days the collectors miss her house which she said lias happened seven times so far this year. Lynch stated that the turn-, over—about 49 percent—in pick up personnel is the main reason for the occasionally interrupted service.

Worth's On The IMke 11416 ROCKVILLE PIKE Council Meet Asked By Relations Group Montgomery County’s Hu man Relations Commission members want a special ses sion with the incoming Coun ty Council soon to present their future plans “and to see where we stand.” In line with this special ses sion, the Commission apparent ly agreed it will not take any immediate position on state wide anti-discrimination laws now being talked by newly elected members of the Legis lature. No definite date for the meet ing was selected, but Rev. Ken neth B. Wentzel, chairman of the Commission, said the meet ing will be closed to the press and the public “unless the Coun ty Council directs that the meeting be open.’’ Such a special session pro bably will give indication on the future of the Commission. At least one member of the incoming Council, Henry Hiser, is an outspoken oppo nent of the Public Accommo dations Ordinance which creates the Commission. Hiser, one of five moderate to conservative Republicans elect ed to control of the Council in the Nov. 6 election, has said he favors an attempt to repeal of the ordinance. Partisan backing of this position could kill the ordinance and the Commission. Officially, Rev. Wentzel said the meeting “will be to get acquainted with their (the by recruiting young college graduates. A big expense item, Lynch said, is the replacement of trucks purchased six and seven years ago. The average life ex pentancy of a SIO,OOO truck is three years, but many of WSSC vehicles have lasted more than twice that long. Salary expenses increased about eight percent, with a two percent increase in total staff over the past year. Specialists in IS arrow Widths . . .

ROCKVILLE CouncH’s) attitude toward us.” “After the meeting, we should know how we stand and how we will operate ii- the future,” he said. “Who knows, the Commis ’ sion may not exist after the meeting.” Rev. Wentzel and other members of the Commission did not go into what they would present to the new Council other than to indicate they hope to put the facts on the table in a straightforward manner. The outcome of that meeting —expected to be arranged after the new Councilmen take office Dec. 4—presumably will deter mine whether Montgomery County will take any official position on proposed state wide accommodation legislation. The Commission agreed the special Council-Commission ses sion should be out of the way before any stand is taken on such a state law. The Commis sion’s special study committee now is studying such legislative proposals. But one member of the Com mission urged that a position be taken for presentation to the Council. “If we havemade up our minds, I think we should quit dilly-dallying around,” Mrs. King, vice chairman of the Commission said. Rev. Wentzel said he feels “we all have made up our minds,” but he said simply tell ing the County’s Legislative delegation the Commission ' “goes along” is improper. “I say this,” he said, "because we may not actually go along with the bill actually presented. Then, we might have to re examine our position.” Commission member Dick Cooperman agreed. “Any blan ket approval of state legislation might be wrong,” he said. “We may wish to express ourself in principle, but not on particular legislation now.” Commissioners returned to a discussion of state-wide leg islation after going into an executive session which soon excluded the single press rep resentative. The executive session, Rev. Wentzel said, was to discuss the Commission's budget for the next year. “If anything else takes place,” he told the eject ed newsman, “you will hear the repercussions.” AT MARK DANIELS . . .
