Belle Haven Residents
|WiII Get Sewer Bills
From Fairfax County

Following refusal of the Belle
Haven Realty Corp. to assign its
sewer system rights to the county
the Fairfax County Board of Super
visors yesterday took initial steps
either to collect sewage disposal
charges from Belle Haven and Fair
Haven residents or diSconnect the
system from the trunk line sewer
operated by the county.
Commonwealths Attorney Hugh
B. Marsh informed the board that
the corporation had refused to deed
the sewer system to the county
contending that flrm had an agree
ment with the Federal Work.
Agency permitting the Belle Haver
system to connect with the trunk
line in recompense for rights of way
granted the FWA. The county TRUNK
line was constructed by the FWA.
On advice of Mr. Marsh, the
board authorized Hubert Massey
district sanitation engineer, to bill
all property owners using the trunk
line facilities dating from November
/, 1914, when the county leased the
line from FWA.
Responsible for Collections.
Bills will be mailed to Fair Haven
property owners, since the FAN
Haven sewer empties into the Belle
Haven system. Mr.. Marsh said, the
county Is held responsible for col
lections of charges assessed all users
Of the trunk line under its lease
from FWA.
BY a vote of 4 % Q the hoard up
held the action oflthe County Board
of zoning Appeals granting q per-
nit to w. M. Orr, Fairfax. TO estab-
lish and operate a cemetery near
Penn Daw.
A group Of property owners ada
cent to the proposed cemetery site
appealed the coming boards deci-
sion and requested the supervisors
to rescind the permit.
VIII Take Case to Court.
j. Stuart Petit, one of the ap-
pealing property owners. said the
question now will be taken to the
County Circuit Court for final deci-
sion, -.
Two proposals were received by
the board to adopt an amendment
to the new county electrical ordi-
nance which became effective July
/. One was offered by C. ". Shreve,
member Of the County Board OF
Electrical Examiners, and the other
by Milton Alexander, electrical con-
tractor.
Either proposal would change the
system Of licensing electricians do
ing work in the county. F. p. Sagen-
dorf, electrical inspector, was au-
thorized to draft copies Of the two
proposals so that the board men,
bers could give them consideration
before the next meeting.
The board appointed Malcolm
Matheson, jr., Mount Vernon, a
member of the County Planning
Commission, to succeed Charles c.
Wall, whose term expires July 6.
Mr.. Wall was not candidate for
