bemarle street, said one employe of
the Engineering Department had ad-
mitted that the walls already con-
structed by the county were like
pouring so much money down a
rat hole"
She pointed out to a reporter the
inroads which have been made by
the water in her back yard, calling
attention to the stump of a giant
tree directly across the stream. The
tree had been undermined and had
fallen. While she was pointing ii
out large sewer rat came out from
between the roots of the stump to
drink. Two others were seen farther
upstream.
Laboratory tests of the water one
of her neighbors had made, Mrs
Hiley said, revealed that it is full
of typhoid"
Mrs. Samuel Mindell, TAB North
Albemarle, said her husband had
two retaining walls built at the rear
OF their property during the four
years they have lived there, each
at a cost of $3.50 Both eventually
collapsed, she said, because they
were undermined. The problem is
worse now, she said, because the
partial walls constructed by the
county cause the water to be bot
tlenecked."

BY JAMES BIRCHFIELD.

The construction of IA power
and flood control dams in the
Potomac River basin would result
in great damage to the fish and
wildlife resources Of the area, ac-
cording to report by the Fish
and Wildlife Service OF the Interior
Department.
The report, made public today by
Chairman Robertson of the House
Select Committee on Conservation
of Wildlife Resources, estimates a
net annual loss of $220,500 in the
fishery values of the Potomac and
its tributaries if the project is con-
structed. The annual losses that
would be suffered by flooding areas
now productive of wildlife was esti-
mated at $26l ,430.
See Bass Fishing Hard Hit.
For example, the report points
out, the creation of large reser-
voirs on inland rivers with the al
lowances for large draWdowns fol
power and food control purposes
would result in the destruction OF
more than half of the best small
mouth bass fishing" in some of these
areas.
|. The wildlife losses in the reservoir
areas have been assessed at 81 pei
acre within the maximum power
pool level, and 81 per acre in the
supercharge area between maximum
power pool and maximum pool level
the report states.
"The ideal situation is a reservoir
without a drawdown, or at least a
reservoir in which the water Level
will not fall and rise frequently the
report said. when drawdowns dc
not exceed 10 feet relatively high
values may be assigned to the pro-
duction of fish in pounds per acre
but most of the proposed Potomac
River basin reservoirs drawdowns fol
power purposes varies between q
and 80 feet"
Referring to the waterfowl values
of the streams making up the Poto-
mac River basin, the report states
that the stream bottom lands in
their present condition are of greater
value than they would be after i'm
poundment. Large drawdowns,
the report said, create conditions
unfavorable for the production Of
fish foods and marsh plants fol
waterfowl"
Would Affect Ducks.
Prolonged storage of water in up.
stream reservoirs, the report said
might increase the salinity in the
lower Potomac and destroy the
valuable wild celery and pondweed
beds that form the principal food
for ducks along the lower river
where l65 hunting blinds were

Storm Sewer Flow in Stream
Erodes Property in Arlington

Approximately 80 home owners
on North Abingdon and Albemarle
streets, Arlington, just above and
below Wilson boulevard, whose rear
yards extend to Lubber Run, are
seeing their property washed away
because of a constantly increasing
amount of water diverted into the
stream from storm sewers in the
area.
Steady encroachment of the stream
has jeopardized fences along the
rear of the various houses and is
threatening to undermine a house
at 734 North Abingdon street.
Most of the damage is confined
to property within 100 yards below
Wilson boulevard. At that point
the county has constructed stone
retaining walls along both sides of
Lubber Run to prevent further
erosion.
(. Extension of the retaining walls
to Wilson boulevard cannot be done
now, however, because of the lack
of manpower in the county engin-
eering department, according to
County Engineer c. L. Kinnier.
Houses above Wilson boulevard are
not affected as seriously. since they
are set farther back from the banks.

Potomac Dams Would Cut Fish
Supply, Says WiIdIfe Service

licensed during 1914. The lower
marshes might also be affected, thus
damaging the muskrat and other
fur bearers in that area.
The effect of the construction of
the Chain Bridge dam, the report
added, would be to eliminate very
valuable spawning area for CONNER
cial fisheries. This, the report said,
would adversely affect shad and ale
wife fishing, worth $443, 300 annually
and the commercial striped bass
fishing, estimated as being worth
$780, 900 annually.
Oysters are confined to the lower
most 81 miles of the Potomac River
and would not be affected directly
by the proposed dams, the report
stated. However, it added, "they
will very likely be affected by any
change in the salinity in the tidal
region resulting from flow regulation
at the various DAMS
Pollution Cuts Production.
While pollution in certain areas oil
the basin are now responsible foi
lower fish production, the report
stated, there are indications that "ar
aroused public opinion" may correct
| this situation.
THE main stream of the Potomac
River" the report concludes, sis fal
more valuable for fishing in it's pres.
ent condition than it would be in al
| impounded condition -

West Virginia to, Protest
Potomac River Dam Project

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 81
(P.-The State of West Virginia, in
addition to several governmental
divisions and private agencies, yes
terday announced its intention to
resist the Federal proposal to build
a system of hydro-electric dams in
the Potomac River basin.
Attorney General Ira j. Partlow
announces he would leave Monday
to appear the following day before
the Army Board of Engineers for
Rivers and Harbors to present West
Virginia's formal protest.
Other representations will be made
to the Army board on behalf of the
Public Service Commission, the
State Agriculture Department ano
State Planning Board, which object
to the plan primarily on the grounds
the system would inundate valuable
farmlands and develop more hydro
electric power systems at the ex-
pense of West Virginia's coal in
dustry.
The West Virginia Farm Bureau
has been vigorously opposing the
project, along with various Eastern
Panhandle areas which would be
affected.

|CoImar Manor Seeks
Lien Against School
For Delinquent Taxes

A suit by the Mayor and Town
Council of Colmar Manor, Md, to
establish tax liens on the Colmar
Manor School and SIS other proper
ties in the town on which taxes are
delinquent was filed today in Prince
Georges County Circuit Court at
Marlboro.
The towns action was disclosed
in letter by Mayor John N. Tor
vestad to the County Board of Edu-
cation inclosing bill for $2,49842
for street improvements in front Of
the school and rejecting the boards
offer of $1,224.50.
Called Shocking.
Declaring that "the injustice of
your offer is shocking" Mayor Tor
vestad said in his letter that If the
tax liens are established, the town
will petition the court for writ OF
mandamus in an effort to compel
payment.
The Mayor recalled that the street
in front of the school was con-
structed in 1887 at cost of 81 1854 so
payable in 13 installments, begin
ming in 1910. This figure has g g-own
to $2,498.42 with the inclusion of
interest, he said. Delinquent pay
ments to date total $1,297.56, he
added.
Asserting that the Board of Edu-
cation has failed to make any pay
ments on the assessment, Mayor
Torvestad emphasized that if the
matter is not settled. I'VE will be
obliged to exercise legal methods to
protect the interest of the citizens
who look to the Mayor and Town
Council to collect all taxes and
assessments. He explained that no
legal action had been taken before
in the hope that the board would
make some payment.
| Charges Discrimination.
I'VE want the board either to pay
the entire $4,000 or the $1,2e7 sc
due now" he said.
In May, 1943, the Mayor and
Town Council threatened to sell the
school for taxes in order to compel
the board to pay the assessment.
At that time, Mayor Torvestad
charged that the board, by paying
taxes to other communities, was
discriminating against Colmar
| Manor.
