HAVE SITE FOR PLANT

Therefore, he pointed out, Cum
berland, which enjoys a city water
supply from nearby mountain
sources, will continue to dunn it's
own sewage into the stream which
provides water for Hagerstown
and the nations capital.
In spite of that fact that the
Public Works Administration NAV
be willing to provide an outright
grant OF As per cent of the cost,
and to loan the city the rest on
a long-term basis, he said, the
cltlzens' fear of a repetition of
the disastrous 1887 flood, and
legal limitations on the towns
Indebtedness prevent the city
from cooperating in Ickes' effort
TO clean UP the Potomac.
However, he said, the town has
already acquired a 3O-acre site on
which it is planned to build a
disposal plant at some time in
the future.
Up until year ago, the ply
s1cian-mayor said, Cumberland's
sewage was dumped into the Po-
tomac River or into Wills Creek
ut several different points. Last
year, however, an 'interceptor
sewer" was built with WPA labor
at a cost Of around $500, 900. The
system connected all of the old
shorter lines and led the city's
entire load of refuse to the Po.
tomac at the point where it is
intended to construct the disposal
plant.
TO ATTEND PARLEY
DR.. Kon, who was out of office
at the time the interceptor sewers
were built, said he believed the
disposal plant should have been
constructed at that time as part
OF the sewer project.
Applications for PWA loans and
grants under the present appro-
priation bill must be filed before
September 80. DR.. Kon said the
only way in which it would be
possible for the town to get au-
thorization for a loan prior to the
next meeting of the State legisla-
ture would be for the State health
department to issue an order, ap-
proved by the governor and Attor.
ney General, for the construction
Of the plant.
He said he and other city Off
cialS would attend the meeting
called for next Monday by DR.. H.
c. Byrd, president of the Univer-
sity of Maryland, to discuss means
of obtaining ALLEGATIONS of Federal
funds.
Ralph L. Rizer, city engineer,
said that although site for the
disposal plant to be built at some
indefinite time in the future had
been bought, no engineering
studies of the plants cost and
probable nature have been made.

RIVER POLLUTION
DRIVE is BALKED
BY CUMBERLAND
City Can't Ask Loan
For Sewage Plant
By FRED MARBUT

At Cumberland, Nd, the second
largest city in the State, sewage
refuse from the homes of 10000
people is dumped into the Potomac
river without purifying treatment.
City officials insist there is no
way they can take advantage of
the availability of Federal funds
to rid the river of pollution, al
though Public Works Administra-
tor Ickes has offered to consider
favorably applications for funds
for sewage disposal plants.
AWAIT FLOOD SURVEY
Dr.. Thomas W. Koon, mayor of
Cumberland, said his city would
take no action which might in
crease the city's debt until the re-
suits of a flood control survey for
the Potomac River and Wills
Creek, now being made by the
Army Engineer Corps, is COM
pleted so that the city will know
how much it must contribute to
the cost of flood control works.
I'm in favor Of a sewage
disposal plant here" DR.. Koon
said, "but we are not going to
do anything to jeopardize this
fleod control plan. The Army
engineers say that will be about
q 100000 job. We have to put
up, I believe, $2,250,000.
That's our first concern.
"And we are already only
about $4,000, 900 under our statu-
tory limit of indebtedness. If
we wanted to be able to borrow
money for our flood control plan
and to build a sewage disposal
plant, too, we would have to 60
to the State legislature to get
permission to raise our limit
of indebtedness

inconsequential.
