Committee Told by Robert
B. Morse 100 Homes Will
Have Sewerage.

While $50 houses in nearby Mary
land at present are discharging sewage
into Rock Creek, Robert B. Morse,
chief engineer Of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission, late
yesterday told special committee
studying the pollution problem, that
100 residences soon will have modern
sanitary improvements, under his Or
ganization's program.
These dwellings are at the north end
Of Sixteenth street, he said, and the
remedy involves extending the District
sewage system to connect with the
sewer lines of the commission.
Assembled under auspices of the Ma.
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, acting under authority 81
the Capper-C -Cramton park purchase
act, the special committee elected Col
Dan I. Sultan, Engineer Commissioner
of the District, as chairman, and John
Nolen. jr., director Of planning of the
Planning Commission, as secretary.
Each Of the spokesmen on the com.
mittee reported various aspects of the
pollution problem, as viewed by his
group.
Progress Is Outlined.
Morse outlined the progress made
by the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, and said that two-thirds
of the houses in Maryland in the
Rock Greek drainage basin, which now
have sewer facilities, are connected to
the Districts sewer system. This rep
resents 1900 houses.
The $50 houses that discharge their
sewage into Rock Greek at various
points above the District line, repre-
sent some 1000 people, Morse said.
In some cases, he explained. short
sewage lines discharge directly into
Rock Greek or its tributaries, but this
adds to the general pollution.
Irving G. Root, chief engineer Of the
Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, told his COL
leagues Of progress being made by
his body in the improvement Of park
areas between the District line and
Connecticut avenue in Rock Greek
Valley. He said that this year his
commission expects to develop addi-
tional recreational facilities that will
bring an increasing number of people.
The desire to wade and play in the
stream accentuates the question Of
the elimination Of harmful pollution,
which is considered a very pressing
problem with the commission, said
Mr.. Root.
elimination Plans Explained.
Plans Of the District government for
the elimination Of pollution from some
Of the storm overflows in Rock Greek
above Piney Branch were explained
by Col. Sultan and the Districts sani-
tary engineer, j. c. Gordon.

tional Park Service, pointed out that
he has a special group at work, un-
der p. w. A. allotment, studying the
pollution in Rock Greek. He indicated
his desire to have the recommendation
Of the Planning Commissions COM
mittee before the National Park Serv-
ice report Is made. Nagle promised CO.
operation in taking samples that the
committee might need and extended
cooperation to the fullest extent.
"Out Of II all We ought to get q

subject to influence.
IT have a few relatives" Robinson
replied, but less than the Senator

country and the rest in Washing

The $3.50 payroll does not include
thousands of code authority en-
