Opposed

Wade H. Coombs, District
superintendent of licenses, today
discounted a recommendation
by Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts that the District waive
the $3.50 dog license on all
"dogs trained for use exclusively
in leading blind persons"
Mr.. Roberts had recommended
the exemption of such dogs as a
graceful gesture Of sympathy"
but Mr.. Coombs pointed out:
81 believe a ruling of this
kind would prove embarrassing
to the Government in the future.
inasmuch as the act was passed,
not as a revenue-producing
source, but as a protective
measure. both for the dogs and
the citizens Of the District Of

There are not more than a
half dozen such trained dogs in
the city.

FOR DEEDS
BUILDING HIT

District Commissioners today
condemned a bill which would pro,
vide for erection Of a separate
building for the office of the Dis
trict Recorder of Deeds, in addi-
ton to the. other buildings pro-
posed in the Municipal Center
project. The building would cost
100000 under the bill.
The Commissioners, in a letter
to Mrs. Mary T. Norton, chairman
of the House District Committee,
said:
"The existing plans show
there will be more than ample
room for the Recorder of Deeds
in the Juvenile Court Building,
and there is therefore absolute
ly no good reason for a separate
building not in harmony with
the plans of the Municipal
Center project"

ILLEGAL transformations Are
Hunted After Contamination
In Southeast Area

All of the hundred or more in
drstrial and other establishments
in the District which have well
as source of water supply sup
Elementary to the District water
connection are being examined by
District inspectors as result of
the contamination recently dis
covered in water mains in South
east washington from a cross
connection in a dairy plant.
This is the sole result Of the
discovery of the contamination.
Capt. Hugh P. Dram, director
of inspection, explained today that
no one could be prosecuted Tor
the cross-connection, although it
is a violation of District regula-
lions, since the law provides that
the person VINO actually made the
cross-connection the only one
guilt. Since the dairy company
has had several engineers in re-
cent years, during which the con-
nection probably was made, it is
impossible to prosecute the guilty
party, Captain Dram said. He
added:
1--WE have dropped the whole
thing, since we could find no
one to prosecute, and since dairy
officials were SO ready and will
ing to cooperate in eliminating
the offensive cross connection
when it was brought to their
attention.
ct was found that ground
water was Seeping into the well,
and this was getting into the
city water main through the
crOss-cOnnection. A fairly high
count Of colon bacteria was
found in the water, in mains
near the plant, as result Of
this crOss-cOnnectiOn between the
two sources of water supply"
Scores of residents of the Vic1n-
ity were taken i'll with stomach
disorders, leading to the discovery
of the contamination.
Captain Dram indicated that
Health Department inspectors and
his own inspectors were informed
as to the places that have both
wells and city water connections,
and that all these are being
watched for possible cross-connec-
lions.

the expense of $4,000 annually
to the taxpayers of Arlington.
