Proposed legislation to create a county planning program got a going over by county, city and Chamber of Commerce representatives Thursday. "In order to provide for the present and future rapid growth of this area, it is important to have authority to do proper planning," William Holden, chamber executive vice president, said in outlining the bill. Holden explained that members of the Worth-Dallas Area Development Committee prepared the bill which ultimately may be introduced at Austin. The bill, a local vehicle apply. ing to Dallas and Tarrant Counties only, is mainly permissive legislation, he pointed out.

The bill proposes to create a 15-member commission to supervise industrial and residential development in the Fort WorthDallas metropolitan area. The legislation can become applicable in the county only after approval by a majority of its voters and relates only qualified, unincorporated areas of the county, or to incorporated areas only if the municipality agrees to subject itself to the program. The plan includes provisions for the control of plats or subdivisions of land, for building line restrictions along proposed and existing freeways, highways, streets and roads and for build- regulation of the uses of lands, ings and structures. "I don't think the problem is so much one of getting the bill drawn up," Commissioner Rosco Minton said after Holden's explanation. "I think it's one of getting someone to sponsor it," he continued.

"The way I understand it, there is no legislator who wants to take it on -they are scared of it." Holden said that he felt the legislators were laboring under a misunderstanding. "When they hear from the county, city and how Chamber of Com- feel merce people on they about it, I believe their attitude will change." City Manager Jones said he believes such a plan is a necessity. "If something isn't done within five years to develop a street and road plan in Dallas and Tarrant Counties, someone is going to have to pay heavily. "The situation is serious, much more so than people realize," Jones said he felt that proper planning would eliminate heavy costs in obtaining right of way in the future. "I think you'll find the com- When you simmer food you cook it at just below the boiling point; bubbles will appear just below the surface, but they will not form and break on the surface.

missioners will go along as far as possible with such a bill," Commissioner Jim Owens told Holden. Also attending the meeting in Hilton Hotel were Commissioner Bryan Henderson, County Legal Adviser Jesse Brown, County Auditor J. M. (Star) Williams, Charles G. Cotten, Web Maddox, County Engineer Steve Champeaux, and George Armstrong president of the Chamber of Commerce.
