Existing Regulation~

At present, keeping do~~s and other pets in Greer..belt (except for ten detached houses in P.arkbelt which passed fo indiv!duh.I pri­vate ownership January :l, 1.950) is a viuletion of thE' leaRe wjith the FP.dera.

Co-op Problem

How can co-ops in the D. C.­Greenbelt area be placed in a po­sition where they can not only mE'et but beat chain store compe­tition, being responsive to consu­mers' needs w"tile servir.~ them ef­ficiently. ThP three ba:sic propos­als which have been dis~ussed arE':

1- Pool t~'le managemE:nt of vari­ous area co-ops under a central manager, with individual co-ops retaining their identity_ This, it Is felt, will cut costs and permit efficient spe!eialization.

2. Obtain the financial assist­ance of e.n outside COQperative or­ganization either to :p·.zrchase a chain of stores in Washington and

, turn them into a cooperative; or to set up a revolving fund to be administe!'t;'d by an ar•'a ma:nag~­mP.nt organization.

3. Develop local coope!"atives as rapidly as possible, sec·.zring mem­ber-capital supplementE-d with out .. f:ide funds.

lORS AutheJ•rizes; 23~% Rent Raisei~ ~GVHC 8oa1r-d Cctnsiders MaAI'IagerAr 4MainfE~nance, Publicity Pro1blems

By HE~rry M. Zubkoff

Conside1·ation of an operating- organizational structure was the predominant theme of last Monday's meeting of thE~ Greenbelt Vet­erans Housing Corporation board of directors. Following a detailed presentation by an applicant for the job of city manager under GVHC, the board discussed t:ae program under which the residents will manage and operate Greenbelt. pert ~nd me:n'lber of the pe'rsonnel com.mittee, s:c~mmarized the com­mittee's inve~~tigations and recom­mendations. While he anticipated little difficulty in recruiting ad­ministrative pe'rsonrwl, the situa­tion was somewhat different as re­gards maintenance personnel. PHA currently operates with <:. total au­thorized strength of 66 mainte­nance personnel (although pres­ently shorthanded with approx!­mately 40 maintenance people on duty), whereas GVHC hopes to op­erate with as few as 2B mainte­nance personnel. Th·~ emphasis is on economy of operation together with the highest possi.ble standards of maintenance, and mernbers and r1esidents will naturally be expect-ed to cooperate in an attempt to cut costs. ]VI:eanwhile, recruitin~

is underway, so that GVHC wiii be able to take ,over the operatior.. on .January 1 with a minimum of hardship.

Nine ::J.pplicant's have been inter~ viewed to date for .the job of ntan­~ger, 5 of them in New York City, and many more applieations are on file. Th/3 board has advertised the position, which will pay approxi­~nately $8500 per year, ana is ac­::Ivelv considering severa1 out­standingly qualified candidates. A decision is expected in the next bvo weeks.

$1 11)6 Depo•~its The problem of r·~turn.ing $100

deposits to tho:1e depositors who have signed contracts, but who de­eide not to go th"rou~h with the purchase, was diseussed. ThE' thought was expressed that the'se people should be required to share i~1 the expenses incurred by the corporation thus far, just as all the purchasers are require"d to do. On a pro-rata basis, thai: is, the t)ta1 amount of expenses divided by the number of Jnembers, this could a.mount to about $15 each. In oth­er words, thm•e people who ask for their $100 deposits back would get only :W5 However, Treasurer 'I'om Ritchie spoke convincingly agai:nst this measu:re, pointing out that comparatively few p·eople were in­volved and tltat the Ill-will which could thus be e'ngendered was hardly worth the few hundred dol­lars involved. The discussion was tabled for i!onslderation at a fu­ture meeting_

Jlmel Oil

Contracts have been let to t:wo fuel oil companies, with a contblu­ing s•.zDply for heating purposes guarante-ed h~ginning January 1. GVHC's contract with PfiA speci­fies that 25% of the oil which is left in Greenbelt's storage tanks when the corporation assuzne8 ownership v.-m be turn.ed over free, the rest to bE! paid for at the Gov­ernment purchase price. AB an independent consum·~~ however, GVHC in the future will be pay­ing more for oil than :PHA.

SaleR Unde:- the provisional contract

\'l:ith Sidney 2:. Mensh, real-estate firm, approximately 130 homes ha.ve b·~en sold, 20% of which wer"' bought by re~:idents. This bt"ings to::3.i membership well past 1100. A certain amount of displeasure was expressed by board membEm:: with :\-rensh's advertising policies. Po r example, 1!Iensh has advertised :>.- hed ro,~m dE'fense houses for sal~?>, alt;1.ough all such 3-bedroom hous­es were sold as long as five wee·ks

Nat Shinderma.n, personnel ex

ago, It was felt that this "eome­on" advertising reflected unfavor­ably on the inte;grity of the cor­poration, and the ·board voted to look ,into thP matt'er, to the extent, if possible, of screening advertis­ing copy.

Later this weelk the board will meet with repres•mtatives of Peo­ple's Development Corporation to discuss possible purchasp and de'­velopment of vacant land. (Mem­bership previously voted that any purchase plan be so formula.ted as to cor.stitute no degree of risk to GVHC and its members.)

NewHiette:r F.d. Burgoon, decrying the lack

of information going out to GVHC members, recom:mended that the corporation hire someone to pub­lish a Newsletter. The entire board, deeply concerned with this problem, agrE'ed to authorize $100 per month fer this purpose for a period of three morths, during which time the operation would be reviewed and evaluated. Accord­Ingly, the Publicity <:::Ommittee will immediately ~nvestigate two plans -one to put out an independent Newsletter, and one to use the pages of the Cooperator, with a paid publicity writer in either ease.

Membership Meeting 'I'he nrnct membership meeting is

scheduled for Wednesday, Decem­ber 3. On the agenda are: by-law amPndment (reprinted below); re­port by President; re'po'i: by Treas­nrer; report on undeveloped land; and election of 3 directors.

By-Law amendment required by PEA:

Subversives: •rhe Corporation shall not at any time acce'pt or re­tain as a tenant ot· occupant of anv part of the prcmi:;es, cr as a met:d­ber, officer, director, employee, or consultant, any person who is a member of an organization desig­nated by the Attorney Ge'neral of the United States as subver.3ive or who advocates, or is a member of an organization which advocates, the overthrow of the Government of the United States by force or violen'C~.

Rent Raise The Office of Rent Stubili­

zation has already aut'!lorlzed a 23 'h% rent increase, it was dis­clcsed. However, the board, be­lieving that· 23%% across the board would make for inequita­ble rents when applied indis­cr!min'ltely to all unsold Greenft belt units, has asked ORS to con­sider the possibility Clf allowing GV!IC tc administer the rent raise in a more equitable rnan­ner. This proposal would allow GVHC to raise rents anywhere fr0m about 20% to 30%, depend­ing upon the dwelling unit in­volved, so long all it stayed with­in the overall limit of 23%,%. President Mike Safzman report­ed that ORS is •considering this proposal, e.nd a favorable deci­sion is expecteC. The new rents wlll be placed in effect as soon as GVHC takes over and legal notice is ::oerved.

The first Tha.nkBgiving day wilJ be portrayed tonight at 7:30 at the Drop-Inn by cub S·cout pack 229 at its monthly meeting.

Dogs running lcose and unattended in I Greenbelt would be a menace to the safety of the large populatio·~~ of children in Green­belt. The spacious areas and feeling of freeddm planned for humans can easily extend to the actvities of animals.,We all agree that chil­dren should have some association with pets; it contributes to their education and emotiou.l ,growth. it would be 1ice if a few pets could he permitted. Unfortu:.ately such privileges c·[13.1lnot be extended to a small portion of the eommunity. '

Although past "po:.Is" have resulted 1 in an overwhelm~ng majority agaillst the keeping of pets in Greerjcbelt, an accurate esti­mate of the present feEling of citizens reg-arding this matter cannot be ma::!e now.

More than 125,000 Washington area teleilhone numbers have already been changed to this new numbering system. Most of these will not be affected by the change-over December 6, but more than .30G,OOO other telephone numbers will be.

JHe~re are the changes

For some telephones,, the only change wiH be a numeral added to the central office name. For example, ADams 9969 will become ADams 4-9969. To reach this number, you will simply dial the first two letters of the central office name and the numeral 4, then the rest of the telephone number. That's all.!

Other telephones will have the central office name changed and a nu:meral added, with the rest of the telephone number remaining the same. For example, GEorgia 9969 will become RAndolph 3-9969. To reach this telephone, you will dial RA and the numeral 3, then the rest of the number. A few telephone numbers will change completely.

Second lRe:'t>renclum L• 19b5 sever:a.l complaints were

made' that , tll'e lease provisions were not bdng en:'orced. Tne Co­operator of Deeemb1?r 6, 1946 re­ported that two childrE:n, 5 and 7 years old, had been vLciously s.t­acked by dogs in the Parkbelt neighborhood. An editorial called lor rigorous .enfc rcement of the rule, which e.t that time was thought to have bE·en omitted from. leases of Parkbelt H<·mc:s, Inc. (but lat'er was found ·:o , be applicable there too, only peorhaps less strictly enforced). The editorial also back­ed the urgent request of Public Health Officer WillU.:m. Eisner that ''the Town Council should pass an ordinance outi.a:"'·ing pets in Greenbelt. If such a provision won't hold up in Court, perhaps nn ordinance providing fQr muzzling and leashing petE:, and a stiff 'li­i:ensing 'fee, w-::mld discourage Greenbelt pet-owi:.er.J from endan­gering the health and safe'ty . of our 3,800 ehildrcn.'

On December 13, 1946, Mayor George F .. Bauer as quoted to th~ effect that the Feieral Public Housing Authority, and not the town, was re'spor.sible fer enforc­ing the lease regul.e.t'i on on pets. On December 20 Con:.munity Manager Charles :A1:. Cormack stated that FPP .A would e::1force the rule when specific contplaints were' re­ceived. Mayor Bauer thought a provision for li~er.sing would be at

mack to the Town Coundl in J\l[ay 1949. Ballots ·,,,;ere mailed out by the housing office to the residents. ~nd the res:Jits were announcct! J\{ay 26 by a committee consisting of Wineld McCamy, town clerk: Fre-d R:.·erse, PHA office; and Sally Meredith, representing the Coop­erator. Altogether 1,014 ballots were mailed in, representing 54 per cent of the families. 9::5 we're oppose'.) to permitting the keeping of pets, and 79 in favor. The bal­lots had to be signed, but 10 of those opposed and 1 in favor were unsigne-d. PHA then announcd again ·:hat it would e'nfo!'ce the provision. The Council "intimat­ed" that it would back the refer­endum with an ordinance to impel­ment the lease provision.

Council Agenda

Othf!r than the ordinance re­quiring muzzling and leashing of dogs p1·oviding a. fine of $10 to $25 for vioL1.tion, and authorizing police to disP;:>Se of dogs picked up while not in care of a responsible person (adopt('li July 14, 1947) there was no further legislation on the sub­ject. :No licensing of dogs was authorized, because licensing was deemed to condone their existence.

It tht> proposed new "total ban'· on dogs is enacted, it wilJ presum­ably supersede in pr~ice' the existing control ordinance, which wilJ then apply only to visiting dogs and their visitirtg owners or caretakers, if any. ·
