Services will hft OCI i Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Big Road Projects Mulled for Area The State a Commission will ask the Maryland Legislature this winter to finance $3,326,000 worth of highway improvements i Washington County during the next fiscal year.

SRC officials told the County Commissioners and a members of the House of Delegates that these projects will be budgeted: --Rights of way acquisition and construction of a grade separation bridge and one mile of new two-lane highway where the Downsrillc Pike crosses the Norfolk a Western Railway, $608,000. --Grade separation bridges for the intersections of Rt. 11 and Wilson Blvd. with the including rights of way and construction, $1,670,000. --Preliminary engineering and rights of way acquisition for later construction of six miles of two-lane highway from Rt.

11 to a point near Clear Spring, along Rt. 68, better known as the Pinesburg Road, $470,000. --Preliminary engineering for inter construction of an eight-mile, four-lane freeway running from 1-70 east of Hagerstown to 1-81 north of Hagcrstown, to be known as the Hagerstown a $518,000. That beltway and a proposal to dualize Rt. 11 north of Hagcrstown later in the 1970's touched off most of the discussion at Monday's conference with the SRC authorities.

"I'm not sure we have the traffic demand a Washington or Baltimore-type beltway," said Del. Richard Grumbacher. "We're short a few million people here." i i Evan Crossley had a i rent question about the beltway proposal. He asked how traffic would reach it from Hagerstown if something isn't done immediately to nail down access corridors through the rapidly developing countryside north and east of the city limits. The original plan to extend Northern Avc.

to the beltway is already threatened by construction plans, he said. David Fisher, i chairman of the described the beltway as needed for through traffic as well as for local vehicles. It would serve as an alternate way of getting from 1-70 to 1-81 for traffic from Frederick bound for Carlisle, lie said. Fisher called the access question one that plagues road planners "Developers can move faster than we can," he said. "If we put all our money in rights of way, we'd halt construction." Other SRC spokesmen called dualization of Rt.

GO, the Leitersburg Pike, an alternate method of getting vehicles to the beltway from Northern Ave. A map provided by the SRC shows the beltway running from 1-81 near Showalter Road southeastward, crossing Rt. 60 about midway Hagerstown and Leitersburg, proceeding southward across Rt. 64 about a mile west of Chewsville, and ending at 1-70 just cast of the Rt. 40 interchange.

"You just can't do it," Crossley commented on the proposal to dualize two and one-third miles of Ht. 11 from Oie northern edge of Hagerstown to Showalter Road in fiscal 1974 sud 1975. There isn't enough room for dualiz- ing in the areas where the road runs past one commercial establishment a another, he indicated. i Hawthorne, a SRC official, predicted that it could be done if constructed without a divider between north and south lanes. The right of way is wide enough for four undivided lanes with an extra left turn lane at major intersections, he believes.

Hugh Downs of the SRC pointed to a recent traffic count which showed 13,600 daily vehicles on Rt. 11 at Northern Ave. as evidence that dualization is needed. The SRC program to be presented to the legislators coven only the next vear But tentative projects covering the five years were summarized for the local authorities Monday. They show that the eventual total cost of the Pinesburg Road reconstruction will be $4,678,000.

The beltway would not be completed within this five- vear period, but expenses on it through fiscal 1975 are estimated at $7,183,000. The total cost of dualizing Rt 11 north of Hagcrslown is estimated at $2.822,000. One other project on the five-year proposal would have only i i i a engineering completed 1975, at a cost of $329,000 for this phase of work. It would consist of rebuilding Rt. 66 from HI.

40-A to Rt. 64, a distance of 10 miles irom Boonsboro to Cavetown. Williamsport Okays New Development WILLIAMSPORT C. William Hetzer Sr. proposed annexation of 20 acres of land north-northwest of town at a Town Council meeting Monday night.

He and his son, C. William Hetzer plan to form a partnership a i i i a invest $1,000,000 in a 96-unit apartment complex. Future development of the tract calls for another 72 apartment units and a shopping center which Hetzer said "will have room for nine to 10 good-sized stores. "People from Cloverton, Mt. Tammany, Van Lear and Williamsport would use these stores, thus keeping money in our area and contributing to the economy." The council voted to approve the annexation subject to the legal and physical restrictions proposed in the town charter.

Town clerk Warren Seymour said that the annexation process would take about 90 days. The land must be surveyed, then an advertisement must be placed twice in newspapers circulating in the area, ard finally Williamsport voters must ballot to make it an official ordinance. Hetzer said the project would be privately financed, thus "keeping federal monies and the forced deterioration of surrounding properties out of the picture." The property to be annexed is part of Milestone Farms, where Hetzer and his family breed horses. It is north- northwest of Route 11 and is bounded on the south by the Cloverton housing development. The apartments would be confined to the northern area of the tract where the 24-inch water main that supplies Hagerstown is located.

Under an agreement with the city of Hagerstown, Hetzer can tie into the line at any point where it crosses his property. apartments e' designed by a Baltimore firm. There will be two groupings of four buildings each in the initial development. Hetzer said that within each complex, there will be three different design faces showing, keeping the units from looking like row housing. To cut down on the possibility of increased traffic problems, two 92-car parking lots will be built at the same time as the apartments.

Both the one and two bedroom models will have balconies and a dinette in the kitchen in addition to a separate dining room area. The two-bedroom model will have two baths. Each floor will have its own laundry and locker room facilities. Landscaping plans include a fountain in the center of the development. Plans call for it to be lighted at night.

Lighted walkways providing access to the apartments from the town and the parking lots will be built. Hetzer plans to build all the streets in the development, including curbing and the installation, of lights. When they are finished, they will be deeded back to the city of Williamsport, which will then a maintenance responsibilities. The parking lots and their lights will be maintained by Hetzer. In presenting their request to the council, Hetzer and his chief engineer Robert Roulette emphasized that the town would benefit most from annexing all 20 acres now.

"Although we could install our own sewerage system, we think the town ought to benefit from it. The development will increase the population of Williamsport 14 to 16 per cent," Hetzer said. Hetzer said that with all the property a if something happened to him and his son, the town would have the tax base in the area already established, forcing any other developer to connect into the town utilities system. Hetzer said that rents will be pretty much in line with those in the Hagerstown area, although they would slightly higher. "We are attempting to attract better tenants, those who might make this their permanent residence." 'Floating Landfills' Proposed for County "Floating landfills" were proposed Monday as one way lo solve Washington County's junk problem.

Wilfred H. Shields chief of the Division of Solid Wastes, State Department of Health, left little doubt in the County Commissioners' minds that he favors landfills for junk disposal. They are more economical than said. Shields defined a floating landfill as an area which is used for two to four years as a landfill and then is converted into some community purpose like a park or playground. Less public uproar will occur if residents of such an area know in advance that the site will be used for trash disposal only for a few years, he said.

Shields offered to help the county obtain a study of the potential of land the county is considering for purchase. The state official emphasized the for engineering before a landfill is opened. Anne A 1 County discovered that the cost of a new landfill over a 30-year period would be reduced by $7,500,000 by using a site which cost $10,000 per acre instead of land that was available at $2,000 per acre. Shorter hauling distances for the more expensive site will create the long run economies, Shields said. Shields warned the County Commissioners a incinerating trash can create problems.

Montgomery County is suing the designers of an incinerator that cost county $5,000,000 to build in 1965 because of problems involved in its operation, he said, while- one of Maryland's Planners Receive Report on Master Map A progress report and a bill for work completed on Phase II of the county's Comprehensive Development Plan were presented to the County Planning and Zoning Commission Monday night. William McDonnell, consultant Baker-Wibberly Associates, said this phase of the plan shows what will hap- nen if no plan is used and shows profits that would go to people owning land in a particular area. The Commission a judgment on payment for work completed thus far and directed Chairman a Frush to authorize payment after he has studied the report. "We have just received the report a few hours ago and have not had a chance to study it" Frush said. In other business, Frush stressed that the "next six months would be very, very busy." He plans to have all three phases of the master plan done by June.

The commission will meet again Jan. 19. worst open dumps has sprung up beside it. portable incinerator which has been proposed as a junk disposal machine in Washington County has little more than half the capacity claimed by the manufacturer, according to a federal study, Shields said. Monday's discussion produced no threats of immediate Health Department a i against this county's landfills.

But Shields warned the commissioners: "We will exercise the police powers of the state here if necessary." County authorities told him what has been done recently to improve junk disposal. Commissioner Evan Crossley, chairman of the county's solid wastes committee, pointed out that a a i a beautification a a a planned for one used-up part of the Resh Road landfill. Topsoil has been stockpiled and trees are to be planted there. Don Ruth, director of landfills for the Washington County Roads Department, was optimistic about eventual success in the long battle against underground fire at the Kaetzel landfill. A bulldozer was utilized to rip up the area to a depth of 10 or 12 feet, Ruth said, and after four days' work, the fire has been brought under better control.

But more fire fighting remains to be done there, he added. Ruth also cited the fact that the county has $233,000 for' solid a disposal this year, $140,000 of which will go into capital outlay. "We're proud of the strides we've made and we don't intend to stop now," Chairman Lem Kirk of commissioners commented. He compared today's a i operation for his home community of Hancock with the procedure years ago when the town hauled junk to the shore of the Potomac River, where it lay until high water washed it away. Shields and other representatives of his office also discussed i city-county landfill operation.

The commissioners were told that the statewide trend is to county operation of junk disposal where a city and county agree to merge this service. In Washington County, the Williamsport and a landfills are run by the county, Boonsboro has been looking for land where a new landfill could be operated in similar manner, and there have been suggestions to operate a joint Hagerstown- county landfill.

Adv. For Housing, Industry Hancock Considers Two Annexations HANCOCK Two parcels of land were considered for annexation at the Council meeting a night. One would be used for housing development, while the other would be for industrial development. "We have no definite plans for specific action on these parcels at this time," said Mayor Daniel Fleming. "We are just considering the value of annexing them." At the last Washington County Municipal a meeting, Fleming urged other incorporated municipalities to acquire land for future use.
