and Council to make arrangements
with the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission for the towns
water supply.
The fire department, which was
called out two weeks ago to pump
water to the town from Rock Creek
after the cornmunity's supply ran
low, suggested three possible courses
Of action:
/. Immediate arrangements be
made with the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission to plir-
chase an adequate supply OF water
from its nearest available source.
2. Immediate arrangements be
made to establish a permanent filtra-
tion plant Of adequate capacity to

from Rock Greek, said plant to be
owned and operated by the town Of
Rockville.

the town of Rockville be sold to the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission for its operation as
part of the Washington suburban
sanitary district"
In resolution signed by M. r.
Gates, president Of the department,
the firemen further requested that
the Army engineers, who are still
encamped outside Of Rockville at
Watts Branch, where they are filter
ing water and pumping 1t into the
city, be asked to continue their
work until "the water supply is
adequate to meet all reasonable re-
uuirements." The engineers are
from Fort Belvoir.
The fire department maintained
that the recent water shortage,
which was attributed partly to q
breakdown In the pumping system
and partly to a dry fall, has dis
closed that the present municipal
water system is not adequate to
meet the needs Of the town, from
the standpoint OF both fire protec-
ton and health"

Mr.. Burke was not present at to-
days directors meeting, which be-
gan at 10 am. and was still In
progress at noon. The directors sent
out the prepared statement, but re-
manned in session.
Earlier today, Mr.. Burke said he
planned to attend the meeting. He
gave no indication that he had sub
mitted his resignation, remarking
that the sessions yesterday were
harmonious. It was reported, how
ever, that he had submitted his
resignation last night.
From some of the directors it was
learned before today's session that
no demand had been made for Mr..
Burke's resignation.
No Comment on Decision.
The general opinion apparently
was that Mr.. Burke should be re-
tanned as president, but that his
power be limited in such a way
that he could not make official
pronouncements, such as the one
last week, without approval of the
full board.
Ten of the 20 directors previously
had expressed disagreement with
Mr.. Burke's published statement
that the association should make
efforts to open negotiations with
Mr.. Lewis while the present dis
pute over the Krug-Lewis agree
ment remains.
The directors issued their typed
statement soon after word was re-
ceived that Mr.. Lewis had been
adjudged in contempt of District
Court in the pending court pro-
eeedings. There was no formal or
informal comment on the court de-
cision.
