REGARDED AS INADVISABLE.
Suggestion Respecting Drainage Fa-
ciIities in TakOmn Park.

suggestion Respecting Drainage Fa-
cilities in TakOma Park.
The District Commissioners some time
ago received from Ben G. Davis, town clerk
of Takoma Park, copy Of resolutions
adopted at a meeting ofcthe town council
of Takoma Park requesting that proper
drainage facilities be provided for that
portion of Takoma Park lying within the
District of Columbia. Upon investigation
by the Commissioners it was found that
the outlet to the sewers proposed would
have to be on Maryland ground, and that
the Maryland authorities would have to CO.
operate In the disposal of the sewerage.
D. E. McComb, the superintendent of sew
ers. reported:
1.-The lack of control in disposal of the
sewage is an objection to the construction
Of the proposed sewers in Magnolia avenue
and Oak street, even if an arrangement
with the Maryland authorities and an ap-
preparation of funds to pay the Maryland
authorities for the privilege could be Sc
cured. In my opinion the sewerage re-
quired for the ten houses in this valley
should be secured by the construction of
private drains to discharge into the Mary
land system, for which permission should
be granted by the Commissioners to the
Interested parties. These houses cannot be
drained into the sewer system of the Dis
trict of Columbia
sioner has recommended that the Takoma
council be informed that the Commission
ers consider 1t inadvsable to spend public
funds for sewer construction or other work
a large portion Of which will be beyond
their jurisdiction or control.
