Sewer Proposals.
For sewers the committee is propos-
ing to increase the Budget allowance
by $98,S90. This will permit of the
completion of the Piney Branch trunk
sewer project, much needed in the
Manor Park section. The Budget pro-
vides an increase of 100000 in the
item for service sewers, which the
committee has not disturbed, and the
Budget and the bill provide 100000 for
the commencement of the Upper Ana
costa main interceptor, a project
which will cost, to complete, $498 900.
For collection and disposal of refuse
the committee has exceeded the Budg-
ct by $4,000 The act of May 26, 1926
IA Stat, $50, authorized the acquisi-
ton of 65 acres of land, more or less,
in Prince William County, Va, to be
used by the District for the reduction
of garbage. The entire holdings Of
the owner of the land contemplated
by the act comprise 455 acres, more or
less. Taking the So acres and putting
1t to the use contemplated obviously
would very materially depreciate the
value of the remaining area of the
tract. While it Is true the act of May
26, 1926, above referred to, carries au-
thority to condemn, the owner of the
property has signifled in writing his
Willingness to dispose of the entire
tract for $4,000. The committee is
providing that this may be done. The
Budget provides $4,000 for purchas-
ing the smaller area.
While it would appear from a tabu-
iation summary that smaller amount
is being provided for the disposal of
refuse than was allowed for the cur
rent fiscal year, the fact is that there
