Referendum On Pets Planned By Council

Greenbelt . residents will vote in the near futt1re on whether pets shall be outlawed by the local gov­e:nment. Present town laws pro­VIde only for control of pets, not the banning of them. At the re­quest of Community Manager Chas. M. Cormack, Town Manager Chas. T. McDonald Monday night asked the town· council at its regular meeting for approval of a referen­dum . on the highly controversial question.

Following quickly on the heels of Cormack's letter of two weeks ago 'to all reside~s, informing them that further violations of the non­pet provision of th.eir leases would result in 10-day notice of termina­tion of their leases, the council upon motion by Councilman Aile~

Granahan Cites Need Of Zoning Plan

Concluding that the master zon­ing plan for Prince George's Coun­ty, if p:ossed by the county commis­sioners as presently proposed, will be badequate protection for Green­belt citizens, the town council Mon­day night voted to imple.nent a res­olution which has been on the books in Greenbelt since March, 1947.

That resolution, passed by a for­mer council, provided that a citi­zens' committee be establishi!d, to study, zoning and building cncles, with an eye to passa~e of local leg­islation. Such a committee was appointe<!, an.-1 preliminary sturlies made. HoweveJ-, the county zon-

The new rent schedule propo:;ed for Greenbelt will cause no major hardship, according to Community Manager Charles M. Cormack. Tables of adjustments--reductions in rent for i'ncome and family size­were released to the Cooperator this week.

Schedules of maximum rent~ can be found elsewhere in the Coopera­tor.

Cormack's Statement General principles governing rent

pvlicies in the past apply to the new schedules, according to Cormack, who issued the following statem'!nt:

"Tile ne'\'1' system of rent adjust­ments will avoid any major hard­ship to any family. Preser•t ten­ants of the original Greenbelt proj­ect who find themselves unabl~ to pay .the minimum rents now es­tablished for that p~ject will be permitted to transfer to the war project .... but no tenant will be forced to transfer provided he is· willing to pay the new minimum rent of the unit occupied."

Six Months at a Time Rent adjustments will be grant­

ed for six-noflth periods. Tenants must re-apJ:ly before the expiration of the period. Changes in family income anc. composition must be reported and Cltljustments• will he

lgno•rance Is No Excuse Housing Expediter Tighe Wood has ignored the orders issued

•by the Congress of the United States in granting a rent increase in Greenbelt. Not by tbe action, but by the method used to arrive at such a decision. ·

-The Senate Committee on Banking and Currency, in its report on H. R. 1731 (The Housing and Rent Act of 1949) when that bill was brought befor_e the Senate on March 17, 1949, specifically states that "th•El Housing Expediter should in the future modify his Jt"egu­lations ·s:o as to grant rent adjustments on the basis of compara­bility on:ty in cases where the maximum rent is abnormally low due to peculiar circumstances."

The Housing and Home Finance Agency of the Public Housing Administration in its releae::e to newspapers stated that ":?HA emphaE.ized that the new sohedule was approved by the Office of the Housing Expediter solely on the basis of rents charged. for comparable accommodations on the rent freeze date. The new rents do not represent any ~djustment on the basis of increased. operating expenses since the freeze date, and were not approved under the hardship provisions of the rent control regulations."

We have maintained there is no basis for comparability of any oti1er housing project, public or private, that the Housing Ex­peaiter's office· could use .. The deep digging Mr. Wood's office used to come _up with the Falkland project proves our point.

. The· Seriate Committee also found it "advisabl~ to redefine "rent", ln order to be certain that it will include not only the formal

spec11ne·a but also all additional consideration received b-y the by. whatever device obtained, in connection with the occu­the tenant of the particular rental accommodatiuns in­

This definition is the one now contained in the regulations of the Housing Expediter."

That takes eare of the inc!"eased utility charges.

The Cooperator office will be

closed next Monday night.

After the girl was taken to the hospital. her aunt, a residt;nt of Bloomington, 1,4aryland, came to identify her.

There was one complaint from a resident that her four-year old son had come home without any. clothes

Children 113.d strung a wire be­tween two houses and caused in­jury to several children, according to one complaint. A bathroom door. blown shut ~o that it would­n't open was the cause of another complaint. There was no nne in the room at the time. howev<:r, it was later determinecL

X ina movie

Compoop is an inveterate fan here in Greenbelt.

From her picture above you can s"ee she is jus~ a typical, ordinary Greenbelt housewife. Her husband has consehted to sit home with the kids; he'll either invite a few boys over for poker, watch television, or fall asleep on the coucl: after read­ing the paper. So Nina is off for the movies. No matter what pic­ture. It's enough to get out of the house. She left tqe dishes. and will scold her husband for not doing

.J . them when she returns home. After _ _,....calling her friend Yetta and arraag­

ing to meet her in the movies "on the right hand side," Nina walks to the theatre and buys her ticket. She pauses to purchas(. a bag of choco­lates and saunters into the darken­ed hall. It's a little difficult to see in the dark, so she walks down the aisle, looking for Yetta. After mak­ing a round trip down to the stage and back • • . no Yetta. She tries again. "Yetta!" she whispers. "Yetta!" A little louder. "Yetta!"

After another round trip, Yetta yells out from the left hand side "Here I ami"

"What are you doing there?" "C'mere I got two seats!" (If you

ever saw Yetta, you'd .believe her.) "I told you this side!" "What's the difference, I got two

seats."

The G1·eenbelt Town Council Monday night refused to sanction the holding of a carnivc.l in the cen­ter of town, directly in front of the swimming pool, as requested by the American Legion, the -..·olunteer fire department, and the rescue squarl.

Absolutely Opposed Council member Elizabeth Har­

rington said th?.t while 5he · v;as in sympathy with efforts of the tr.ree organizati0ns to raise money, she was "absolutely opposed'' to a car­nival being held in the town's cen­ter. S~1e cited unpleasant aspects of such affairs that have in the past been ht:ld on th·~ outskirts of town

Mrs. Harrington's sentirr.cnts were endorsed by the other mem­bt~rs, with additional remarks !rom Mayor Thomas J. Canning and CouncHm:m Frank G. Lastner tha~ consideration shoul<i be given to the type of carnival pl:.nned. Last­ner said that the most undesirable feature~;. the side shows. hacl in some cav:niva!s been eliminated. McDonald, however. said that he had bt:en given no assurance that such would be the case in this in-stance.

Parking Problem The towa maroager also brought

up th~ question of parking. He pointed ou't that attendance from out of town would be needed to make a financial success of a car­lnival, and ti1at with most of the town's parking space taken up by the carnival, there would b-: no fa ... cilities for out-of-town cars.

Other objections raised incl•Jded the fact that the date of the pro­posed carnival i,s before the end of school, involvi.:lg the problem o~ child attendance during school hours and late in the evening: the lack of adequate space with sanita­tion facilities for cc:.rnival person ... nel to stay while in town: and the disturbance that would be created with respect to nearby residents.

The repeal of fishing licen:;es and the revision of the bicych.. licence prqvisions were discussed at last Monday's Greenbelt Town :.:ouncil meeting, and the town manager was instructed to draft appropr;ate or­dinances.

Towr. :Manager Charl'!s T. Mc­Donald. who initiated the discus­sion, said in respect to fishing that 1 c hoped some day to make the sport a part of the official recrea­tion program. In the mean1 ime, he ~aid, the services of volunte ~r lead­< rs for children interested in fishing might be procured. ,

Poor Fishing When asked how outsidens could

be kept from crowding o·1t local anglers, McDonald said that one 1i~hing trip would be effectiYe, since 1 he Greenbelt lake at pres~nt has :nactically no fish, d'espite the re.:. ·;tocking done last year by the lzaak Walton League.

Bike Revisions Bicycle licenses. he said, are is­

;ued to residents for 15c apiece, while their expense to the town is ;omewhat more. He suggested that, rather than an annual lkense, a permanent licen!e be gran1ed, and 'hat its cost to the owner be sub-• stantially higher. Indication that r.:1any ·resident may not be aware of the annual renewal of licer.ses now provided for was given in the re-

THE DISPOSAL OF GREENBELT. IT WAS PASSED BY THE HOUSE ON APRIL 13 AND IS NOW IN THE SENATE.

AN ACT. To authorize the Public Housing Commissioner to sell the suburban

The statements below a:ce from the rep,ort of the Committetj on! Banking and Currency of the House of Representatives when the above bill was brought to 'the floor of the HouJC.

The Grt.enbelt towns derived their names from the concept of a ·protecting green belt of park and forest land su.rrounding each com­munity. There are three of these towns-Greenbelt. Md .. near \Vash­ingtq'n, D. C.; Greendale, near Mil­waukee, W;is.; and Greenhills, near Cincinnati, Ohio. These towns were constructed in the period from 1935 to IP37. One of the purposes in building them was tc provide con­structive work relief and to increase employment: The original towns W<"re developed out of funrls ap­propriated by the National Indus­trial Recovery Act of 1933 an<l the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935. The original program involved both the construction or these greenbe!t towns :eo.nd subsist­ence homestead projects which were designed to rehabilitate families in distress by providing them with a homestead on which they coulf\ sul)plement income n~ceived by seasonal industrial work. L:qu:,•a­tion of the subsistence homestead phase of the program already has been s u b s t a n t i a 11 y completed through disposisition of the units.

In the original town-site devel­opments there were provided 2.~03 dwelling llllits which, together wtth 61 dwelling units in rural areas brought the total to 2,264 dwelling units. Except in Greendale, wbere 48 percent of the dwelling units are in single-family structures. these dwelling units are principally in ..-ow-type and apartment-type struc­tures which in the main are of ma­sonry construction. In 1941 at Greenbelt, Md., under' the war­housing progTam (Lanham Act) construction was begun on an ad­ditional 1,000 dwelling units pro­viding dwellings in row-trpe •tructures of frame construction.

Tentative plans for potential devel­opment of the 3 towns indicate that provision could be made for a total of 13,510 dwelling units or almost four times the number of presently developed units.

The investment of the Govern­ment in the three projects stands at a cost of $40,791,300, including the 1,000 units of war housing con­structed at Greenbelt. Any consid­eration of unit costs, of course, must involve recognition of fac­tors other than simply dividing the oover-all cost by the number of de­veloped dwelling units for. the rea­, son that the over-all cost includes the provision of complete municipal and commercial facilities of a whole town such as roads and streets, util­ities, schools, reqeation and park areas , equipment and administra­tive as well as commercial buildings needed to mak.: tne project a going community. Further, many of the muhicipal facilities w·~re install.:d on a basis anticipating further fu­ture development of additional dwelling units in the projects. For instance, the existi.ng water-supply facili~ies, sewage-disposa.l plant, and mcinerator plant at Greendale, Wis.. would serve almost three times as many families as now re­side in the project. As the projects are developed more nearly to their ultimate potentikls the ove:r-all town cost per dwelling unit (exclusive of the direct costs of the dwelling uuits) will go down. This is il­lustrated by the 1,000-dwclling-unit war-housing addition at. Greenbelt. Due to the f~ct that the hnd had been ar.:quired, and that only rela­tively small expenditiures were ne­cessary for expanded, utility, street and commercial facilities, these over-all additional municipal costs amount>!d to $783,000 oil" only $783 per added dwelling unit whereas prior to this 1,000 dwelling unit ad .. dition. the project's town facilities cost as a going communiity amount­ed to $4,634,000 or abou1t $5,200 per original dwelling unit. \\'hen the $783,000 is added to th~~ $4.~.000

It is the opinion of the commit­tee that by authc ~izing disposition of these propertic:s through nego­tiated sales, wit!. first preference being given tu ve1·erans· groups or­ganized on a nonprofit basis as pro­v.ded :n the committee amendment, materia.! assistanct will be rendered to veterans not onl.r in acquiring the housing units prt ~ently located in these projects, but also in acquiring the planned and J:artially developed s:tes which ,.,·ill facilitate the im­mediate construction of several thousand additional housing units.

It i~; intended t:tat in future con-' struction of ad•litional dwelling units veterans wJl ;be given the first priority in occupancy oF premises. In the case of negoti~ a ted sales, provision is made in: the committee a:nendment to in~ sure that tenant~ presently occu­pying a project C·n th.:: dat~ of its acqu~si tion hereunder by a veterans' group will be afforded an opportun­ity to become members of such group upon the same terms and conditions and wi ::1 ti1e same rights «n~l responsibilities as veteran mem­b,ers of the group. It was testified· before the committee that the vet­eJ·ans had no desire to evict present non,·eteran tenants but would wel­come their part,cipation if suchi ttnanb desired to become members r~I the group. Th· s provision would be made for prot~:ction both to the tenant against eviction and to the veterans' group fc r nonveteran ten­ant participation.

In case n••o c r more veterans' g1·oups desire to J:·Urchase any ~uch p1·oject on a negc•tiated basis they shall be required to submit sealed bids therefor and the award shall be made on the b:1sis of the h:ghest acc~ptable monetc1rv return to the Government.

Gree:Bbelt's conformity' to W,ash­ington · daylight-sa"·ing time. will this year, for the ,first time, be offi­cial. . A motion by Councilman Frank G. Lastner at• Monday night•s regular session established the summer time to c·)indde . ex­actly with that in the District oi Columbia. '

Kids Won't Go Tc) Bed Councilman Allen D. Morris::m.

although he voted for the measure, said he objected to thf" plan on prin,­ciple, because of the difficulty he said it causes in getting children to go tQ bed while it is st'ill light.

Greenbelt has always conformed to daylight-saving time, since it is in the metropolitan area of the Dis4

trict of Columbia, but never before has the town gov~rnment given its official sanction.

DECREASE from Page 1 probably not be allowerl. to increase rents on the basis of hardship­that, in fact, tb.ey had never done so -because they do not now charge the maximum allowed. PHA com­ments in the past have indicated tl:at the altc:rnative to increased maximums w:mld be elimination of' g:·aded rents except for speciat h u-dship cas·~S. Berquist said it was his unde:·standing that increas­e•! operating expenses motivated FHA's request for an increase in n·nt.

Although the re-registration s=gned last week by Area Rent Di~ r•!Ctor \Valte1· R. Heath cut the re­quested increase almost exactly in l:alf. members of the commfttee ,,-ho met under the chairmanship of Mayor Tho:nas J. Canning last Thursday agreed that further ex­amination of the need for any in­t::rease was a :lvisable.

In explori'lg the legality of the comparability feature of the in­crease. the services of a \Vashington hw firm vere secured. From i Lmds collectc~d at the mass protest raily held ,last September, a re­tainer was r romise<.l the attorneys t•.J determine what steps can be tak­' :1 to prevcrt the increase.
