Councilman Charles Schwan expressed his feeling that the recommendations of CRAB were quite reasonable. Stating that ''No man is an island", Schwan said that it did not matter to him if people did come from outside Greenbelt to the renter. He then mo\•ed to accept CRAB's report and r!'commenda-

l1door Swimming Pool
A city-wide referendum on an indoor swimming pool, to be held not later than November 1972, was one of the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Indoor Swimming Pool Committee presented to city council at its December 6 meeting. The Ad Hoc Committee, chaired by Steve Polaschik, was appointed last summer by the city council to explore the fl'asibility of holding a referendum to finance the construction of an indoor swimming pool facility.
The Committee, however, urged that prior to the holding of a rcfl'rl'ndum, a series of hearings be held to give citizens an opportunity to learn more of the dl'tailx of the proposals before they arc ask~d to VOl<', Su~h hf'arings, the Committe<' said, would also be useful in gotting citrlzen suggestions on the plans for. th<' faeilit;\'•_and in determining the extent to which various groups would be using the pool and providing financial support.
The Committee furtlwr urgNI preyaration of brochures and articles explaining thl' proposal and also asked that the Parkg and.RccrcatJon Advisory Board and the Advisory Planning Board bP askl'd to make comments on the Committee's report.
The Committee recommended that an exploration be made of sources of supplemental State and Federal funds. The bathhouse to serve both the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, the Commftt<'e felt, may most appropriately qualify under Federal open space matching funds.
Council Action The council lmmedia.tely took ac
tion rto refer the Committee's report to the city's advisory boards with a hope for comments from them in time for a proposed January 12 meeting that council wanted to hold with the Ad Hoc Committee.
The referendum date was suggcsIU!d for November so it could be held in conjunction with the General Election for National and State offices. Councilman Gil Weidenfeld noted that there was also an earlier <'lection day in connection with the presidential primary in May 1972.
Members of the Ad Hoc Committee, in addition to PoJaschik, werP Joseph Costa, Leonie Penney, and Muriel Wcldenfeld. Councilman Charles Schwan served as chairman before his election to council in September.
Accompanying the Committee's recommendations was a 12-page report discussing the various options open with respect to the location of -the pool, lf.S design, l'quLpmcnt, facUlties, and methods of financing.

The 12.9 percent increase is fquivalcnt to 16.2 percent of operating expenses which is defined to exclude mortgage payments. The GHI bylaws require that an increase in operating expenses or 10 P<'rcent or more must be approved by the membership.

Amberg said that despite what he called "grievous mistakes" of the board on other matters, "we must face the hard decision of approving the budget prepared by the board. We cannot reject out of hand the budget, if we are to keep our homes."
He said he could understand people's distress over rising living. costs, but this frustration cannot be taken out on GHI. "What is happening is the result of actions in the total economy," he sald.
Burgoon Comments Ed Burgoon, former GHI pres!·
(!f'nt from 1954 to 1962, made a strong pitch for supporting the
· bud got propa.red . by GHI manage--ment. "\Ve have to cover ourselves or go' down the drain," he warned He regretted that during the years of his term, the board didn't always follow the advice of professional management to allow additional increases in the budget, such as for reserves.
"If we had followed that advice," he said, "we would not have to raise charges as much as is being recommended h!'re." Devonshire made the saiiif!"'"point. "You have .to be realistic. If you don't allow for the increases this year, you will be faced with even larger Increases next year."
Burgoon also cited from his own experience as a housing IIIILilllger the large increa~~es In costs that are occurring In apartment projects aH over the area. *
Opposition Opposition to the proposed bud
get increase was expressed in a minority report of the Audit Committee by Mabel Kandler. She said that unusually large amounts were going for GHI payroll costa and for capital improvements and she wanted rto see the results of the management survey before approving the budget.
The proposed budget· calls for a $10,000 management survey. Cathy Foster thought that this was not sufficient to get a good survey. She also a:sked people to vote against the budget until the survey was made. Eunice Coxon implied that the large increase In the budget could be blamed on the GHI board because of its "mismanagement."
ReHer for Elderly
On the relief measure for the elderly, the voice vote in favor wu overwhelming. This measure, ru amended, provides a deferral of the 1972 incrCIIiSC in monthly charges for a member who is 66 years of ap or disabled and whOse annual Income is $3,000 or less ($4,600 for a family). The member must agree that the corporation may apply the sum of such deferred Increase in monthly charges against the selling price of the unit when the memb!'r 1-l'avt's th<' corporation.

The resolution, Introduced by council members Charles Callow, Francis F1rancols, Gladys Spellman
-and -Francis White, lists six minimum conditions or standards that sewage package treatment plants In general would .have to meet:
<1) The proposed treatment plant should serve property that has lm· mediate sewage rights <Area 3 of the county 10-year Water and Sewer Plan).
<2) 'I1he use of the treatment plant shall be strictly comidered as temporary. As soon as addltlional public sewage capacity Is availble, the temporary plant shall be terminated and the plant hooked up 'wlth {the per;1118J1ent Washlngon Suburban Sanltacy. Commission ( W\SSC) system.. '·
:(3) The,;qu~tiy ~f' \,l:le. effluent · .al)d the stand.ards . to be met will

(4) The treatment pmnt.!J sball be mllllntalned and operated by wssc with WII cOIIts of this service ·to be borne by -!Jhe di!VIeloper, who must also post a bond to aaure

Parcel Q Plat Approved · At the December 21 hearing of
the Prince Georges County Planning Board which saw !Jhe approval of the record plwt for the development of Parcel Q In ·Beltway Plaza, city manager James Gdese once again expressed the city's desire for a deflnllte over-all comprehensive plan for the area west of Cherrywood Lane.
"In the absence of such a plan," he said, "we are getting strip commercial, hodge-podge development. This Is not good planning." ·
Giese said he recognized that the County Planning Board had no choice but to approve because It did not have the tools with which It would require such a plan. But he reiterated that the Board should seek thOBe tools.
Plannh\g Board stsff members lmd explained that on .slibdivlslon plat.!J,. the applicant heed n:ot desl¥nate the uses of the proPertY •.
duced an amendment to the resofutlon whloh would require evacuation of realdent.!J Jn the event the effluent falls below hellllth department standards.
How applicable these a&ndards are to the Greenbriar situation Is uncertain because the major problem fMing a pack~ treatment plant for Greenbriar Is the fact that the only available conduit for the discharge Of the effluent Is a tributary of Beavet Dam Creek, which !Is an inbennlttent running stream part of th(' year. '11he county council policy lltatement seta down no standards for using Intermittent s(.l"('ams.
Reeder had Introduced an am- · endment to the resolution which would have forbidden authorization for a package trewtment plant unless th" point of discharge ·was Into a moving natural stream of wat!'r wth an average dw:Iy flow at iPMt •lx times the avcrage daily flow of thl' package 'treatm.Pnt plant HP later wlthdr.-w the arnf'ndment.

CbaSanow argued ~a~ . In moet cases of special IISBils.imellt.'l It Is the propcl'ty own"rs' who petition the city for the Improvement. In this case, he said, none of the owners want the Improvement
Ma, or Rich& d f'llski Interrupted to ask if. Chasanow's clients were agadnst Improving the center mall. Chasanow quickly replied, "No, but they are against paying for an Improvement from which, they can see no benefit." Chasanow maintained that the renovation of the center mall was of chief benefit to the city and communllty as a whole, rather ~ban to the adjacent commercia! businesses.
Chasanow thought that the city should go ahead and pay for the Improvements In H:s properties In the hope th&t by setting such an e~ple the property owners will In turn reciprocate and upgrade their l!topertfes. · The city owns the c:enter· mall ·1and between Centerway and· the '~tatue. The sidewalks betw~ri th~' stores facing Centel;Vay lind Ceriterway'itself are m~s~y: ow11ed by .~e Coh~. Similarly, the plliSBil'geways I'Qnnlng to the east and wellt · wai'klng lot• alongside cO..op and the 'Medical Center are partly privately-owned.
NeJrotJatlon? Pilskl respo~ded that the city
has been waiting in vain for the Cohens to come forth with plans for repairing their sidewalks and upgrading the propert:t} '!What .-ill be dUTerent now?" he asked.
Chasanow said that he Is not authorized to negotiate for his client, only to rPprt'scnt him in court, but that he could otTer his good offices to set'k a settlemPnt and h!' thought that his c lirn t might be P<•rsuadt'<l •bhat it would be more productive If the moneys usl'<.! to pay legal ft'l's were divrrt••tl to Improving the property.
