SANITARY BILL
FOR SIGNATURE

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, March 31-The
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
missions bill creating a sanitary dis
trict in the nlnety-nve square miles Of
Maryland territory adjacent 10 the Dis
trict of Columbia and authorizing ex-
tension Of District OF Columbia water
and sewers is now on Governor Har-
rinEton's desk awaiting his signature.
Friends OF the measure predict thss IT
will be signed without fail within .he
next few days. Senator J. Dawson VII
liams OF Montgomery county and SEN
ator Oliver MetZefott Of Prince Georges
county, both warm supporters OF the
bill. viii urge the Governor 10 approve
the bill as soon as possible In order thai
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission can proceed with actual
construction OF water and sewer sys-
tens at an early date.
/. Regarded As q Model
That the bill is regarded here as a
model is shown by the fact that an
exact duplicate Of the bill has been in-
troduced in the House OF Delegates by
Delegate Given Of Baltimore county, ere
ating a similar sanitary district in Bal
timors county and providing for the
construction and operation OF water and
sewer systems therein.

Baltimore bill, which. In spite OF the
lateneSs Of its introduction. stands an
excellent chance OF passage.
Affects Several Towns.
The Baltimore sanitary measure is
regarded as a part OF the Greater Bal
tin1ore movement. and action was de
layed pending favorable action by
the legislature on annexation fol
Baltimore.
The population affected is about
10000, all In Baltimore county, and
includes the communities OF Back
River, Highlandtown, Lutherville, Re-
lay. ST. Denis. and a part Of Green

Chance OF favorable action on the
Baltimore bill is increased by tn,
fact that the Baltimore County Water
Company. which sells water TO the
territory in question, has recently an.
