BOARD ON SEWERS
BEING PLANNED
National Park Commission
Also Looking Ahead to
Nearby Water Supply.

Formation of a committee representa-
tive of affected interests in the District
of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland, to
deal with sewer facilities in the Metro
politan area, and their future develop
ment, is now under consideration, Capt.
E. N, Chisholm, jr., engineer OF the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, said today. This commit
tee will likely have on its membership
persons that are now serving on the
METROPOLITAN water co-ordinating COM
mittee, because of the close tie-up be-
tween water and sewer facilities.
Capt Chisholm, who is an expert In
water and sewer facilities, because OF
his service in the South in civilian
capacity, before he became an officer In
the Engineer Corps of the Army, is par
ticularly interested in having compre-
hensive plan worked out to assist future
developments of Greater Washington.
Planning Water Feeds.
While plans for launching the COM
mittee on sewer development are going
forward, the Metropolitan committee on
water supply has just agreed to pursue
further investigations to plan for water
feeds for the next half century. Charles
w. Eliot, I'd, city planner OF the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, explained today that the COM
mittee had a private meeting on Tues
day, received the reports from its vari-
Gus subcommittee, giving information
about the District of Columbia, Viz
ginia and Maryland areas, with refer
ence to water feeds development.
Further reports were requested from
the subcommittee, dealing with the
prospective future demand for water in
each of the three areas, the estimated
population increase and water conSump-
ton increase.
How to Meet Demand.
In placing these questions before his
subcommittee, the committee asked
them to give attention to the query as
to how the increased water demand
might best be met, and as to whether
local sources or a combined supply is
the better. If more than one supply
is decided upon, the question must then
be met, Mr.. Eliot said, as TO the protec-
ton of the water supply sources.
The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission desires to have in
formation on these matters, so that II
can plan its park program in the Metro
politan area so as not to conflict with
the water supply of Washington and
adjacent communities.
Further data is needed on the who'll
question, Mr.. Eliot pointed out, before
definite recommendation will be forth
coming.
