Park and Planning Commission is
now acquiring marginal land. Mr.,
Cast said, in the Anacostia Valley
from Bladensburg to College Park,
Md. Under the Capper- Champion
Act, the Federal Government sub
sidizes the purchase of such park
lands by local government units,
Under the Flood Control Act, he ex-
planned, funds cannot be advanced
by the Federal Government unless
the land is purchased by local gov
ernments.
Mr.. Cast said the food control
was of great importance, pointing
out that whenever floods occur
highway No. is blocked. The Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress
has put this flood control project
among the first on their priorities
list.

was that before any prohibitions
were put into effect consumers would
be asked to use water for non-
essential purposes at time Of day
when they would have the least ad-
verse effect on the system"
Although major projects Of con-
struction have been considered, it is
understood that 1t has been neces-
sary for the department to keep con-
