DECISION RESERVED
ON SANITARY LEVY
Rockville Judge Intimates He
Sees No Authority for Ex-
ira Front-Foot Charge.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, October "a
case to test the right Of the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Commission to
increase the front foot benefit charges
for water and sewerage throughout
the sanitary district. which comprises
large part of Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties, was argued
before Judge Robert B. Peter In the
Circuit Court here yesterday.
The case was brought by Mr.. and
Mrs Jack G. Scrivener of kensing-
ton, and is the outgrowth of a num-
ber of citizens meetings held at
kensington. 1t was contended on be-
half of Scrivener that when the SAM
tary Commission levied a front-foot
benefit charge against his Kensington
property soon after it had taken over
the kensington water and sewer
plants It exhausted its powers along
that line, and that in levying an ad-
ditional front-foot assessment against
the property two years later it acted
without legal authority, inasmuch as
there had been no new construction
in front of the property
Mandamus Is Sought.
Judge Peter was asked to issue
writ of mandamuS directing the com
mission to cancel the assessment COM
planned of and to enjOin the cOmmlS-
sion from levying additional assess
ments of the kind.
Attorney Wilson l.. Townsend ar
gued IN behalf of Scrivener that the
act under which the Sanitary Com
mission operates does not confer au-
thority to levy additional front-foot
benefit charges where there is no
new construction, and held that the
additional levy in the Scrivener case
was illegal, for the additional reason
that the commission failed to comply
with the provision of the law which
requires that notice be given of the
purpose of the commission to levy
front-foot benefit charge.
Decision Is Reserved.
Attorneys J. Howard Duckett and
Charles W. Clagett represented the
commission. They contended that the
commission acted within it's legal
rights in levying the additional as
seSSment in the case under conSldera-
ton and suggested that the granting
of a mandamuS would result in much
confusion and embarrassment to the
commission.
In announcing that he would re-
serve, his decision Judge Peter said
that there were two questions for
him to observation-disclosures the COM
mission had complied with the law
in regard to giving notice of its pur-
pose to levy an extra assessment. and
whether the law gives the commits
sion specific or implied authority to
levy additional frOnt-foot benefit
charges in cases of the kind He in.
timated that he could see no specific
Hauthority in the law.
