Suburban Maryland
Residents Warned
To Conserve Wafer
Sanitary Commission Says
Strict Regulation Will
Be the Alternative

Unless residents of the Maryland
suburban area cooperate voluntarily
in conserving water during the sum-
mer months, strict regulations gov
erning its use will be adopted and
rigidly enforced the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
warned today.
Pointing out that cool weather
and heavy rainfall has made it I'M
necessary to issue warning on the
use of water until now, the commits
sion said increased consumption due
to wartime expansion has placed
such heavy demand on water facil-
tiles that the ''strictest" conserva-
ton will be necessary during dry
months to insure an adequate supply
for all residents
The commission said residents
must refrain from using water dur
ing the summer for sprinkling lawns,
shrubbery,. flowers or gardens and
for flushing pavements. Water will
be allowed, it was said, only for
family or business use within build
ings.
There is a sufficient amount of
water in the new Patuxent River
reservoir, the commission said, but
the capacity of the filtration plant
and of certain main feeders in the
distribution system will have to be
increased before summer demands
for water can be met.
The commission said a new pump
ing station, another filter plant and
an additional pipe line into Prince
Georges County should have been
ready for service this summer, but
were held up because of the scarcity
of critical materials.
Until this expansion is completed,
the commission said, it will be neces-
sary for residents to practice rigid
water economy.

Civic Group Praised
For Support Of
Montgomery Charter
Changes Which Resulted
From Units Proposals
Reviewed at MEETING
By MRS. J. REED BRADLEY

Tribute to the Montgomery
County Civic Federation for the
part it played in sponsoring the
drafting of a county charter was
paid last night by Stephen James,
member of the Charter Board, at
the monthly meeting of the asso-
citation in the Bethesda Elementary
School.
Every worthwhile governmental
reform has behind it the inspiration
and ideals Of some organization.
The advice and help of the Civic
Federation and the knowledge that
it would support a constructive
charter made it easier for the
Charter Board to complete its task,
MI. James declared
The changes Incorporated in the
final draft of the charter as the re-
suit of federation suggestions we're
reviewed by Allen Gardner, chair
man of the Special Charter Com
mittee. Mr. Gardner praised the
charter and said he felt that the
carrying out of its provisions would
go a long way toward promoting
democracy in the county.
While he thought the provisions
for home rule, merit system and
control of spending by a system OF
checks were the highlights of the
charter, he felt that the principle
Of seeking man for a particular
job and not a job for a particular
man would contribute most to gov
ernmental reform.
The final draft of the charter
will be published in six weekly
newspapers in the county during
the week of May II, Mr.. Gardner
said. and he hoped every voter
would study it before the general
election in November, 1914, when
it will be accepted or killed.
Five weeks after the close of the
l943 session of the Maryland AS
sembly, the people of Montgomery
County are still unaware of the laws
passed affecting their welfare, Wal
ter H. McClenon, member of the
Legislative and Legal Action Com
mlttee, reported in the absence OF
the committees chairman, Richard
B. Barker. Mr.. McClenoh said his
committee had made several un.
successful attempts to secure copies
OF all county legislation passed ano
signed by the Governor. A definite
report will not be possible until July
