For CheItenham School

Cheltenham School for Boys in
Prince Georges County and the
State Welfare Department have
launched a search for new site
for the institution, which cares for
colored juvenile delinquents.
Construction of new institution
was authorized by the State Legis-
lature. When new school is COM

be turned over to the Board of
Mental Hygiene for mentally de-
fective colored juvenile delinquents.
At present, the Cheltenham
School cares for about 300 delin-
uuents, including mental detectives.

only one of its kind in the State,
officials explained that under the
present setup, it is extremely diff
f1cult to plan program for both
normal and defective delinauents.
No new construction will be pos
sible for more than a year, as a
bond issue will have to be approved
by the Legislature.
Meanwhile, plans are being drawn
up by the architectural firm of Ross
and Walter, Eyattsville, for the re-
modelling of the school at cost of
about $250,O00.

New Suburban Water System
Slated to Open By Mid June
$2,500.000 Project to Double Supply;
Operations Woit Filter PIont Completion

a supply equal to that of the Burnt
Mills station.
Pumping Station in Rocky Gorge.
Heart of the supply system is the
pumping station in Rocky Gorge Of
the Patuxent River, mile above
Laurel, where maximum of 49,
100000 gallons of water day can be
forced through two miles of 30-inch
pipe to the Willis School filter plant.
This station, constructed so that
it can be easily enlarged If needed,
is equipped with three two-pump
electric units and an additional gas
oline engine that can be used in the
event OF power failures. Automatic
in operation. the pumping station
will require the services of only one
attendant after pumping begins.
Water is pumped directly from
the Patuxent River, no larger than
a mountain trout stream as 1t runs
through Rocky Gorge, and, to in
sure sufficient flow at all seasons,
the Brighton dam was built few
miles upstream.
Provides for Future.
Here more than $500 ,O00, 900 gall
Ions will be stored over q 775-acre
area-enough to allow 26, 600 900 gall
Ions to flow down stream daily. In
addition. engineers said, a similar
dam may be constructed the future
just above the pumping station.
This would double the amount of
water which could be taken from
the river.
Completed last fall, the dam al
ready is more than half filled. The
water behind the concrete structure
has inundated for the third and
last time the 140-year-old village
of Tridelphia, an important milling
center before the Civil War.
Only two houses remained in the
village when dam construction was
started. These were torn down.
me Screen Bridge road leading into
Howard County was flooded and
was rerouted across the top of the
dam.
Engineers said the top of the spill
ways are $50 feet above sea level.
The top of the dam itself rises 80
feet above the river bed level. Elec-
trical generators have been installed
in the dam to provide current for
opening and closing the gates and
lighting purposes. Power for the
pumping station, however, will be
purchased from the Baltimore Con-
lSolidated Light e. Power Co.

The $2,500,000 project to double
the water supply of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission and
make unnecessary strict conservation
regulations during drough periods
in metropolitan Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties is expected to
begin operating about the middle of
June with the completion of the
filter plant at Willis School.
The huge project, comprising a
dam across the Patuxent River near
Brighton, pumping station farther
down the river near Laurel and the
filter plant, was conceived by COM
mission engineers several years ago
to relieve present facilities, over
taxed through the rapid population
rise In the suburban Maryland area.
After General Assembly approval
the three fold project was begun in
the fall of 194l. The dam and the
pumping station have been COM
pleted. M
Separates County Systems.
When water is turned into the
eight miles of pipeline that connect
the new filter plant with the water
supply network for Prince Georges
County, engineers say that the
Prince Georges area will be cut of
from the Montgomery County area.
The Montgomery area still will be
supplied from the Burnt Mills filter
station, which takes water from
Northwest Branch. The two areas
may be connected again if necessary,
engineers said.
At the present time the Burnt
Mills station supplies all water for
the suburban area, feeding into a
network OF mains that carry water
over an area from Cabin John,
northwest of the District, to Suit
land. This, includes Bethesda, Silver
Spring and kensington sections in
Montgomery County, and Hyatts-
vile, Capitol Heights, Greenbelt
ForcstRille and other sections in
Prince Georges County.
Although handicapped in its con-
struction by war restrictions, COM
mission engineers said the new sup
ply system still will present features
found in few other water supply
projects. Furthermore, they ex-
planned, the project has been con-
structed so that future additions
may be built at minimum cost. AS
it stands, they said, the system will
send 100000 gallons of water a
day into Prince Georges County
homes and business establishments
