Olney Norbeck The Citizen's Protective Association met Tues. Feb. 28 at 8P.M. with Mr.& Mrs. Brooke Johns. The meeting was called to order by the Pres. Calvin Bready. Minutes were read and adopted.

Brooke Johns reports for Mr. Sharpe that he had ridden over these back roads but could not tell yes as to rates of extension but he would bring out the Pres. of the Co. to go over the road, as suggested.

Mr. Sharpe advises we get a speaker from the Public Utilities Commission in Baltimore from whom he is sure we shall get cooperation. M. Root, chief engineer of the Parking and Planning Commission was introduced at this time. The extension of the Metropolitan Area will be from Norbeck to Brookeville to Brighton to [Palunint?] River and Prince George's Co. line and the increase in tax rate will 3 ¢ on $100: It will also extend for 300 ft on the west side of the Brookeville Road.

this area will be protected from such things as road side markets, growing into beer, gardens and all such undesirable things.

Zones are divided into residental and commercial. Zoning will have no effect on buildings you will want to erect on your own farms. For instance you might have a stand to sell your own farm products but not to buy, and sell again. You also cannot rent space for road signs. We should look into regulations which are handled by Count Com. A group reconstruction should be written up which would protect our land in all details. This will only cost for the writing of the articles. (Inspection)

Brooke Johns wants to know will the extension of the Met. area have any effect on our getting reductions in public utilities i.e. telephone and electric rates. Mr. Root does not know but feels it should. He suggests we shall ask the Co. Com. to set up another zone.

The Olney-Norbeck Citizens Protective Ass. met with Mr. & Mrs. Brooke Johns Tues. Mar. 14. The meeting was called to order by the pres. Calvin Bready at 8.15 P.M. Minutes read, corrected & adopted as corrected. Brooke Johns reports that he has been to see the Public Utilities Comm. of Md. at Balto. and had had a very satisfactory talk with the sec. Mr. Harper. After stating to him our troubles concerning the telephone and electric light rates Mr. Harper thought it best he take time to take the matter up commissioners, investigate and report to us at a latter meeting. M. Johns also investigated the matter of lights for Olney & Norbeck. The cost would be 450 & 400 respectively. M. Sharpe said he would let us farm the cost of lighting roads. We felt the matter of traffic lights should be financed by Plates Road Com. Again we have the matter of telephone-dial rates etc. There is a decided opinion concerning dial system but the consensus of opinion seems that if the matter of fire alarms can be satisfactorly arranged then we are willing for it to be installed. Mr Beane makes a motion the pres. appoints a com of 3 to write a petition to be sent to the
