Sewage Problems Surface At School Site Meeti1g

by Elaine Skobalk School site developments continued to create confusion and

uncertainty in the minds of the city council, the city manager and local civic groups as evidenced by last Monday's council me~ing. Among the items that caused much speculation and received few clear answers were:

For the Unlverllllty of 1\l'.aryla.nd incident, the unit W'88 activated on Flrlday ai'ternoon but .then dillbllon· ded. 'l'hey ~ reactivated at 10:40 a.m. Monday and began. mov· ing dn to Greenbelt that afternoon aond evening.

Cooperation from (Jity

The Guard uriit is w.:!II aware of oome criticism from re:olidents ooncerning the extent to which faeltl<tiCl! within tht,. city had been takon over. Commenting on the "absolute cooperation" which the men h<'ld received from .the city of Greenbelt, the Heutcnru1t stated his personal regret that the citizens of the community had to be dep~ived of their rreroa.tion area. He poinbed out, however, that the armory was quite crowded with the needs of the headq uarter.r for the emergency operation. Tho availability of nearby rostroom facilities wru~ a major factor in thc troops' being !oc-~t<>d ncar the town c~nter, rnther ·than, for <'Xnmpl<', at the lake park.

A qqeslion as to whether the city had Jc>gal powers to inspect and control the sewer system brought no answPrs. Councilman Dick Pilski express~d concPm that the city was not getting information first hand which he felt was vital since there may be a health problem. The couneil adopted his suggestion to write the State He>dth DepJ.rtment and WSSC to get al! pertinent data dealing with the school complex. The council also asked its city solicitor to research the legal rights of the city to inspect sewage plants.

GREENBELT NEWS REVIEW

City Notes With ground-breaking for the

wid<>ning of Southway Road expected to begin within about two weeks, the city is taking steps to insure as little disruption as possible of the present landscaping. On th<' west side of. the street. a proposed sidewalk will be laid out with a bend or two to avoid removal of some ornamental· trees. On the east side changes will be more extensive though only a very small number of trees there will be endangered. While theo;e trees are too larg<' to be transplanted. their absence will be less noted becau~e other flowering trees will be planted along the median strip which will separate the two halves of the road as far as its intersection with Ridg<' Rd.

City officials have been meeting for some time with adjacent property ownt•rs to advise them of any changes that will be required in the landscaping of their yards. The Parks crew has also relocated plants and in one case staked a hedge line which must be mo\'Cd back,

DPSpite a short staff which has forced the Public Works Dept. to assign regular crew members to the trash collection detail, the city has been able to make some progress on special projects, 'partly with the help of two additional summer employees for the Parks crew. Following pet,itJon by some two dozen young people in the \•icinity, the city installed a basketball net at the playground at the top of the hill where Crescent and Ridge Rd. merge. The large filled af{'a behind ·the Municipal Service Building was also cleaned up. But further devclopmen.t there was . postponed until the ultimate development plans for the area have been formulated.

The latest oil leak to ;find its way into the feeder .streams tel the Jake has been traced by the city to the basement of one of the stores in the commercial center. A broken feed line between a fuel tank and the nearby furnace, which was the source of the leak, has already been repaired and all spilled oil cleaned up.

Traces of oil are still appearing in the creek however, forcing the city to a new hunt. At this point the city does not yet know whether a new leak is involved or whether oil spilled earlier has dis· appeared into the soil, only to be washed out by the recent heavy rains.

Both the main crews and the Parks crew have been doing many spring spruce-up jobs - painting new picnic tables for the parks, painting the reconstructed foot· bridge <after the oil fire), at the base of the lake peninsula, cleaning roadsides, cutting grass, and placing trash receptacles near ball-fields and play areas.

Impasse Cifii~Si~OiBCU;t Citizens Clish Over I • 95

by VIrginia Beauehamp An impasse which has come to. take on national scope during

the last few months confronted the Greenbelt city cOuncil on May 4th. This is the virtually irreconcilable conffict between· the de- . mands of those who, in seeking to control the quality of the ~vironment seek also to call a halt to industrial and econonuc expansion 'on all fronts and those who support such expansion as a means of extending the good life, or at least coping with pres~nt problems. The underlying conflict was raised in the form of discussion on a proposed resolution urging rompletion of Interstate

95 south of the Capital Beltway. ------------Spokesman for those opposing the problem of congestion caused

the resolution, led by Robert F. by all this tra.tlic converging in Mueller of Lanham, President of Greenbelt.

Greenhelt council to face what they No Single Solution felt was the pmctical question of how heavy traffic, generated hy a partially completed I-95, could be funneled into the Dlsbrict of Oolumbia without choking the already seriously overcrowded Route 1, which runs through their city.

Council members showed themselves wei! aware of this problem. Of even more concern to Greenbelt than Route 1 would be Kenilworth Ave., Greenbelt !'ttl·· ·and th~ Baltimore-Washington Parkway, all of w'hich were mentioned by council as .the inevitable •routes for 1-95 .traffic to .reacll the city of Washington and all of which traverse this city.

City Undisturbed By lfalional Guanl

Most people think thBJt an army 1n action leaves a big mess behind when it moves on~d usually armies do. But not the Maryland NaNonal Guard contingent rthat spent two days In Greenbelt last week. 'Dhing!s were cleaner, U anything, after l:lhelr departure on Wednesday, May 6, than usual. No ~rnss was damaged at the ball fields, except for one tiny spot where someone set down a too-hot pan and hurned some turf. The Youth Center, which had been used as quarters for Guard officers, and the pool locke-r rooms, which housed enlisted men, were in apple pie order.

City officials were pleased hy the thoughtfuhwss of the Governor's military staff when they took time out to visit City officers i)efore the hatbalinn> kft. to thank GrccnbPit<•rs for t hPi r court<•sy and palit'llt'l', Thr> oflil'Prs also mn.de a p('rsonal in:.;rpction. with City offici.ds. l.ll insur(' that the troops had hf'f'll g )~)d g-ut'sts.

A resident, AI Her:!lng, summed up the debate by criticlzing tbe advocates of a cleaner environment tor what he ca.lled a "single· solu!Jion" . approach. He ridiculed .two confticting views which bad been presented earlier - to let the hig'hways booalne so jammed that other solutions, such as rapid transit, would become imperative or to merely stop oonstructlon of major highways in mid-alr, leaving drivers to hurUe off the end into oblivion. "Let us ask oouncil," be .said, ".to work seriously end bard on mass transit-on oil oompanles for de-leading gas, on vehicles not to pollute the a.ir." To concentrate all pollultion in one aroo., hawev'er <by which he Implied Greenbelt u othe ne&rellt exit from the aJrea4y completed sectlion of 1-95), would not \e an &n~Wer.

Councllwoman Elizabeth Matfq perhaps best expressed the mood· of the council majority when she said, "From an idealistic viewpoint I agree with the environment group." But she went on to desorlbe the present roods in the area as "death traps." Concerned with safety, she saJd, she OOM!dered herself constrained to vote from a ''realistic" point of view with College Park's request.

The resolution was passed three to one, councilman Katz voting no. <Councilman Edgar Smith was absent.)

Swimming Pool Rati'S

Another resr>lutlon, which council had expected to pass routinely when it was introduced for second reading, also generated considerahle debate.
