"What do you consider the major issues facing the city. in the coming two years and how do yoU feel about them?"

The replies of the .candi®tes ·appear below in alphabeticcll order.

lORN :p, BOGUMILL

I OOvewood ct. The problems Md illsues facing

Greenbelt !In the next two years are primarily those 8rlalng from the receDt great popullll.tion growth (~approximately 7,000 , In 11162 to aJinost 20,000 today>. In order to accommodate to this phenomen­al growth It Is neceaary for City yovemment to change In view­point, In pace of operation and In methods, rather tlian just in size.

NOTICE Next week's Issue of the News

Review will be the last before the city election. In order tO give our Editorial Board suffi­cient time to review communi­cations regarding the election, such copy must be submitted by 9:30 p.m., Tuesday night, Sep­tember 9.

lew Lutheran Cbur'h Dedication Sunday

The membl'rs of Holy Cross Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Greenbelt, Md .. will dedicate their new sanctuary at 10:415 a.m., Sun­day, Sept 7. The address of the new church is 6905 Greenbelt Road, Greeonbelt The Reverend Edward H. Birncr, pastor of the congregation, wm conduct the dedication service.

The dedicatory address will be delivered by the Reverend William H. Kohn, D.b. Dr. Kohn is tlw present executive sccrctnry of mis­sions for the Luther<m Church·-­Missout'i Synod and pllSt-presi<knt of the Southeastern District of the Luthenm Church- -Missouri Svnod. l<'onnerly he ~crved as past~r of R<'d<'emcr Lutheran Chur,'h. Hyattsville. Md.

A r••ceptioit for Dr. Kahn will follow immediatdy after the dedi­cation service. Members and friends of the congr<'gation '"" invited.

I am a.ri eeonom1at and. u wch, I strongly beUeve In eftlcleney and economy In Government. I deftne eftl.cleney and economy in the broadest sense of the terma. hoW­ever. Pinching pennies Ia not al­~· efficient, for emmple, for tills may turn out to be Hpenny­wlse 'and pound foollllh." I WBilt us llimply to use all of Greenbelt's resources more ·efficiently. It 'Ia a more efficient use of re­

sources for Greenbelt to develop its present parkland& before spen­ding a large share of the recent $9110,000 bond lasue to buy new parklanda. Wby can't we have parka In Greenbelt like thOle In Wheaton and Cabin John, where ". • • parks are beautlfuUy de­signed and executed recreation ar­eas just right for a picnic or romp . . ~ They have extensive shady playgrounds . . . are fitted with well-kept picnic areas, rest roolll8, and lots of wide open spaces under the sun and shade of tall trees ... " (Washington Post. August 24, 1De9) It Is a more efficient use of re­

sources to treat city employees fairly ·and pay them well and de­mand from them a full and effec­tive day's work for a fair day's w"ges. I believe the City Councll should undertake a comprehellSive review of city employees; talk ~to each of them about their jobs and their ambitions. I believe tliat, at least once in a while, the Coun­cil should not just accept the City Manager's word about the admini­stration. Honest and able thoufh I believe bimo to be, Mr. Giese is still human and capable of over­sights and shortcomings. The Council should. con8111t with Mr. Giese himself about his own career plans.

It Is a more efficient use of Greenbelt's resources -- which I define broadly to include the time and l'fforts of iis citizens as well as the money and manpower of Its Government -,- to work for the timely construction of the Perime­ter Road and the Improvement of Gentry Drive. Traffic congestion never yet won a prize for efficiency.

It is a more efllcien t use of the time of the mothers of Greenbelt to allow them to register their chil­dren by mad! JQr swimming and other sports lessons rather than han• them stand in long, slow lines as is presently done.

Finally, it is ultimately most •·f­ficknt, in the broadest sense, for the Government ·of Greenbelt to bl' decent and humane in its deal­ings with people nnd organizations. By f a.r the majority of issues whkh come lwfore Councll arc mainly practical, "nuts and bolts" type items with little moral or ethical connotation. Occasionally, however, such issues do arise. I

The major issues facing the city in th•• next two years arc: the "" rly construction of the perimeter road.· the upgradini( of Gentry Drivl', plnmwd dc\•elopmPnt of Greenbelt, aequtrmg additionnl p"ri<land and the full integration of Springhill Lake into our com­munity lifl'.

I assurl' a.ll Gr{'f'nbeltcrs that I am fully eommitted to positive ef­forts in behalf of the abo\'e men­tioned is~ues.

While not intending to give the impression that r am a one issue candidatP, I would. nevertheless like to emphasize tlw one i,;su•• which I can do more for than any of the other candidates - the peri­meter road. As a mother. I haw a natural instinct and awareness of problems concerning the wei­far" anti saff'ty of chilrh·••n. Also.

munity organiz:ttion. I beliew th"'t this background will b<' \'ery useful in fighting for the construction of the perimeter road, which will likely be the major issue to con­front the City Council in the nPxt two years.

I am shocked to find so many of our Greenbelters completely unin­fonned, or indiffcr<'nt, on this vital issue.

Consider what the lack of a peri­meter road means to us: A senior High School with an enrollment of about two· thousand students will generate monumental traffic prob­lems. Some students will have cars. and will be compelled to pa.rk on our streeLq, since there is no pro­vision for student parking. Some fifty school buses, many faculty 1\utomobllC!!. nnd tlw automobiles bl'longing to raf<'teria nnd janitor­ial personne-l will congest the resi­d!'ntial strpets of Greenbelt. mak­ing them a;ppc<tr somewhat like Times Square in New York City!

Of course none of the candida IPs or any citiz••n of Gre<,nbelt wants this mt•ss. But wluit haw tht•y done about it? Really nothing very ctTcctiw. This is not a situation that we can, or should live with. WI' """ told that the perimf'tl'r I'OIId is In the twenty year rt>ad plan. 1969 plus 20 equals 1989!

The City Council after considera­ble effort succeeded in getting its recommendations adopted by The Maryland N~tional Park and Plan­ning Commission.

In order to provide a healthy en­vlronm~nt for the future we must follow this Master Plan. Tr1111ic

Traffic will be one of the mnjor issues for the council. The com­pletion of the school complex. the Golden Triangle, Springhill Lake residential and industrial proper­ties. and the Smith-Ewing tract wHI create traffic problems which cannot be solved by additional stop signs and stop lights. Greenbelt enters an era of bridges, overpas­ses, and roads oriented to devel­oped I.<Utd, and new construction.

The Perimeter road is a major road plan for Greenbelt. All gov­ernment agencies, and developers must share in the co.~t of its de­velopment: Smith/Ewing, Spring­hill Lake in tiwir development of their land: the Board of Education because of their disregard .for Greenbelt's desire for .the place­ment of the school: and NASA's attitude of privileged ramps paid for by the taxpayer's money.

The Golden Triimglc will require more aggressive action by the City Council to the State and County for a modern overpass and clover­leaf at Kenilworth Avenue and Greenbelt Road. Additional con­gestion and inconvenience cannot b!' added to an area overburdened by an inadequate system of traffic lights. The Smith-Ewing "f>arcels will require the Parkway and the perimeter · rond to be oriented to this additional traffic. l'n rkland ami Rf'crea tion ArMs Park acquisition, development

and addt•d consl'rvation will share the probl<•ms to be carriPd by the cmn,cil. Pc.ucPls :-;rven and eight at Crescent Road and K<'llilworth AwnuP must be acquired as part of Greenbl'lt Lake Park and a scPnic entrance to the city. The L:.ke Pari< must bP developed to ensure recreation rather than com­mercialization and a master l!lan for it's development has been c~m­pieted and in the future will be one of the finest recreational ureas in ·the state. Land in Parcels one and two, and In Springhill Lake must be set aside for the recrea­tional purpose of these areas and the same will be true in the Smith­Ewing Sections.

A greater emphusis must be placed on the conservation of. the park and green areas we have nnd the ones we will acquire.

Municipal Servltll's and Budgt't Control

Greenbelt currently enjoys serv­ic<'S in pollee protection, and rec­reation unsurpassed by any muni­cipality. The future needs will have to keep pace with the growth of the city. The next council must have the ability to develop and maintain a balance-d method of tax-supporting, self-sustaining and dtizl'n-particlputing programs for thl' l'!'creationn 1 nwds. ThPS!' pro­grlrms arc for young and old nllke in ail parts of the city.

Additional Park l.antl The next city council should con­

tinue the policies of the past coun­cil of acquiring additional park land for the future generations. Th~ ef­forts to obtain Parels 7 and 8 should be continued and if negotia­tions arc unsuccessful' the City should institute condemnation pro­ceedings.

They must also make cei·tain that the developers in Parcels 1 and 2 and the Smith-Ewing prop­erties set aside adequate park land.

:Uunlclpal !'!!>n·ic••s The high level of municipal

services must be continued and in­creased, including Increased recre­ation programs .for Springhill Lake. We should continue to negotiate with the school board for the usa of recreation fncllitles at the new school complex.

We must abo maintain the high level of pollee protection for our citizens and provide adequate pub· lie works personnel to embellish the natural beauty of our City.

Taxes Although the city council must

provide adequate funds for a pro­gressive municipal government, it mmt make sure, through careful budget consideration, that the taxes will not work a hardship on our l'l'lridents.
