Prohibited Last February.

Mr.. Phillips had the Commissioners
adopt order prohibiting the dumping
of snow in the sewers last February
when it was found that the mains were
in danger of stoppage from huge in
huXes of snow and ice. In speaking of
the matter last night, he said:
AT the same time, | think that I'M
loading snow into ii sewer is rather
slow way OF getting rid of it. In cases
of emergency, such as cleaning up the
crossing at 9th and T. streets, it would
be all right to shovel snow into the
catch basins, but it looks to me as if
Shoveling snow into sewers is an eXpen-
Sive undertaking..

Asa F. Phillips super inlendent OF sew
crS said last night that he believed the
shoveling of snow into The catch basins
and other sewer aDertureS is about the
most expensive and sloWest method Of
getting rid of snow and ice from the
streets.
According 10 a statement made last
night by James NJ. Wood. superintendent
of street cleaning. that department is
having some difficulty in getting rid OF
because the public dumps are full and
because the river is so far away. He
said that if he could have the sewers at

That act. Mr.. Tucker explains.
while it does not incorporate the viii
lage and create the offices of mayor
and members of the town council. fully
provides for the village needs. Under
its provisions funds can be raised and
expended for policing the place, keep
ing in repair its streets and for gem

May Be Lawfully Expended.

1t is understood that several thousand
dollars have been collected as taxes by
the late board of trustees of the vii
lage. and is now in their hands. BY
consent of the persons who paid these
taXeS-a consent which can be readily
Obtained-these funds can he turned
over to the association and used for
the needs of the village.
THE constable now employed can he
deputized and sworn by the sheriff of
the county as IL peace officer Ample
money is available to pay him his salary.
As state and county officer he will
have ample authority to keep the peace
in the village and enforce the law. In
fact, as a state and county officer his
authority will be greater than it was as
ii municipal officers
AS to the mad dog scare in Chevy
Chase. Mr.. Tucker says the trouble arose
several weeks ago. long before the de-
ciSlon of the court. and while the mil
nlclpal authorities were in full control.
Irrespective of any village ordinances
on the subject, the owners of dogs in
and near the village have voluntarily
muZZled their animals.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-12-18
Power of County Authorities.

Mr. Tucker adds that the county COM
nlissioners at Rockville. who are also
the county board of health have au-
thOrity TO make regulation relating to
the public health and safety and could
make and enforce d regulation requiring
dogs in Chevy Chase to be muzZIed.
The striking down of the So-called
charter of Chevy Chase Mr.. Tucker con-
tends is not only not detrimental to the
interests Of the residents and property
owners of the village. but. as a matter of
fact, is greatly in their interest; for. he
says, lit leaves in force the very full and
complete county and state laws concern
ing public health. comfort and safety:
relieves the people of the community of
the heavy burden of supporting sepa-
rate. distinct and unnecessary govern
ment. and provides means for raising
taxes. not at their expense. but at the
expense of the county. for the particular
needs of the village, which taxes will be
expended by the people of the village
themselves.
