MEETING URGES
OFFICIALS E N D
RIVER SEWAGE
Civic Bodies Demand
PWA Grant Be Used

A demand that the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
obtain a PWA grant to eliminate
pollution of suburban streams and
tributaries of the Potomac River
was made by representatives Of
several score Of Montgomery and
Prince Georges county civic organ
izations during a mass meeting at
Silver Spring, Md, last night.
Meeting in the JeSsup-Blair
Community House, the representa-
tives Of the more than 40 civic
bodies adopted, without a dissent
ing vote, a resolution calling upon
the sanitary commission to take
advantage of Federal funds now
obtainable to erect a proper sewage
disposal plant.
DR.. William B. Holton, president
Of the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Izaak Walton League, presided
over the meeting and an uproar
Of "ayes' greeted the resolution
when it was put to a vote. 1t read,
Ia part:
1T Is the opinion Of repre-
sentatives Of the civic aSSocia-
lions here assembled that the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission be urged to take ad-
vantage of PWA funds at once
to accomplish all of the neces-
sary steps to completely elimi-
nate sewage pollution from the
waters under its jurisdiction"
UP TO COMMISSION
Abner L. Rowe, chairman of the
pollution committee of the Izaak
Walton League, pointed out that
the Sanitary Commission could
with little effort obtain all Of
the funds necessary for this work
because it is authorized by law to
issue bonds or borrow money
against the assessed property with
IN the area it serves. He added:
'This property is assessed at
more than $118,000,000 and the
commission is authorized to bor-
row up to IA per cent Of this
amount. It now has about $12,-
100000 in bonds outstanding, SO
what is to prevent it from bor-
rowing another $4,000, 900 more
to carry out this much-nseded
work."
While no exact estimate Of the
cost Of this program has been
made to date, it is estimated by
sanitary engineers that the pro
posed project for Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties would
cost approximately $2,000,0OO.
COULD GET GRANT
Under present borrowing terms
of the PWA, As per cent OF FUNDS
procured would be an outright
grant, while the additional SIS per
cent could be financed at low in
terest rates and repaid over long
period of years, Rowe pointed out.
Mayor vincent A. Osterman. OF
Rladensburg, protested that ms
town was "the depository for all
Of the sewage collected in Mont
scmery and Prince Georges coun-
Nes" and pointed out that the
NJotioyoa1 ResollrceS Committee, fol
lowing a lengthy survey recon-
mended construction OF a sewage
treatment plant near Bladensourg'
On September 9 a committee
from the Izaak walton League Will
