Bill Asks Falls Church
Get Aqueduct Wafer

The town of Falls Church, Va,
which has had trouble for years
with recurrent shortages of well
water, would receive water from the
Washington aqueduct under a bill
introduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia. The bill went to the Public
Works Committee.
The Secretary of War, under the
measure, would be authorized "to
permit the delivery of water" from
the aqueduct pumping station at
Dalecarlia.
Two alternate plans were proposed.
One would provide for connection
with the main of Arlington County
at the southerly end of Chain
Bridge. The other would send the
water from the so-called force
main" from the Dalecarlia station
to new water main to be installed
by Falls Church.
Difficulty with the supply at the
Virginia town has continued off and
on for several years. During dry
spells, the wells have furnished an
inadequate supply for needs.

Commissioners Study Program
To Reform Montgomery Truffic

A set of recommendations calling
for drastic changes in Montgomery
County's handling of its traffic
Notwithstanding a reorganiza-
tion of the police setup-was under
study by the county commissioners
today.
The recommendations were made
by the traffic safety section of the
International Association of Police
Chiefs. Two representatives of the
association explained the recon-
mendations, accompanied by q
inch thick report.
The report said Montgomery
County was third in number of
accidents among other Maryland
counties in the first nine months
of 1946; third in number of acci-
dents involving personal injuries,
and seventh in number of fatal
accidents. A spokesman for the
reporting group said the county's
traffic record was "one of the worst"
in the State.
Abolition of the Takoma Park
substation, more policemen on the

street, elimination of the rank Of
lieutenant and addition of several
-sergeants, and county law for
compulsory reporting of accidents
were among improvements sug-
gested.
After hearing 1t. Col. Franklin
M. Kreml and Frank Lowery of the
police chiefs group explain the re-
port for more than an hour, the
commissioners asked for two weeks
to study it. Chairman Brook Johns
said its general tenor represented
the commissioners thinking.
Mr.. L,owery fatty told the COM
missioners it is highly important
police be kept out of politics" He
recommended stricter mental tests
for police recruits and a stepped
up training system.
Another recommendation was for
establishment of traffic squads in
the Bethesda and Silver Spring
district. The squads would be on a
three-shift basis and would be COM
pletely equipped to investigate all
types Of traffic accidents.

Arlington Federation
Opposes Amendment
On RetirementLa

The Arlington County Civic Fed
Grafton was on record today as
opposing inclusion of the county
manager in the county retirement
ordinance.
The federation last night adopted
a report of it's Legislative and Legal
Action Committee which objected to
amendment of the act to include
the county manager. The fedora
tion's initial meeting of the new
year was held at the Lyon Park
Community House.
The recommendation was an out
growth of "a thorough study of the
legal situation surrounding the
eligibility of the employees of elected
officials for retirement under the - "
ordinance by the committee under
Craftsmanship of Harrison Mann.
Cites State Study.
Mr.. Mann pointed out the General
Assembly set up a special committee
at the last regular session to study
the feasibility of enacting a State
wide retirement law to cover en-
ployes of elected officials.
If retirement system is not pro-
vided when the special committee
reports to the General Assembly, Mr..
Mann said, then his committee
would recommend amendments to
permit such employees to be brought
under the county ordinance. The
federation accepted the suggestion.
Two other recommendation of
the Legislative and Legal Action
Committee were adopted by the
federation. They were, that the
federation request the Arlington
delegation In the General Assembly
to obtain renewal of the authority
under which a referendum may be.
held on the question of the stagger;
system of selecting County Board
members and to sponsor and support
legislation permitting referendum
on the method of selecting School
Board members.
The federation also voted to re-,
quest the Arlington delegation to
support legislation providing for
non partisan runoff elections for
the County Board and for the
School Board, if the latter are
elected.
Rate Probe Indorsed.
On motion of Mrs. Florence Can
non, the federation voted to petit
ton the State Corporation Commits
sion not to permit the proposed
rate increases of the Chesapeake
g. Potomac Telephone Co., to go
into effect as scheduled on January
81 and that the commission under
take a complete investigation of
the rates. The federation also voted
to have representatives at the hear
ing on the matter before the COM
mission Monday in Richmond. In ad-
dition the Arlington Public Utilities
Commission will be asked to study
telephone rates. The latter two mo-
tions were proposed by Mrs. Beulah
Goss, chairman of the federation'S
Public Utilities Committee
The federation agreed to write the
County Board requesting that men,
bership of the County PUG be in
creased to allow for additions of
qualified rate experts who are not
connected with any public utility.
Adopted by the federation was
proposal that the County Board have
drafted a proposal amendment to
the zoning ordinance providing for
a suitable side yard for buildings

jacent to residential property.

Public Hearing Brings
Many Suggestions for
Montgomery Charter

The Montgomery County Charter
Committee has before it today a
wide variety of charter proposals
as the result Of the first of eight
scheduled public hearings held in
the Grace Episcopal Church, Silver
Spring, last night.
It will be impossible to incorporate
in the charter, which must be writ
ten within the next four months, at
least third of the suggestions be-
cause of limitations set by the State
Constitution, board members say
Of the so persons present last
night a majority expressed favored
non partisan elections and PAID
council members. The first propose.
now is illegal.
Four Proposals by League.
Walter H. McClennon, represent
ing the Community League of Ia
koma Park outlined four PROPOSE
tions the league would like incor-
porated in the charter. These
were:
All members of the county coun-
Gil should be elected by voters sot
the entire county.
The council should consist of
seven members, one each from the
five commissioner districts and two
at large.
No person should be ineligible to
run for the county council by rea-
son of holding another county Office
Referendums should be held on al
bond issues in excess Of one-fourtt
of one per cent of the total bonded
Indebtedness Of the county.
John Reno, speaking as an indi.
vidual, took exception to the pro.
posaI calling for the election q
council members by the county a
a whole. He proposed election b,
districts, which is now unconstitu
tional.
Joseph B. Matre proposed tina
the delegation to the Maryland AS
sembly also act as a county counci
in order to "cut down on the mum
ber of politicians" According b
Howard P. Bailey, member of tn
board, this would be unconstitu
tional.
Would Submit Draft.
C. N Smith suggested that (
preliminary draft be submitted tt
the public at least a month befor,
the date of filing the charter. Mr.
Smith also asked for the inclusion
of initiative, referendum and re-
call" and suggested that the charte,
provide a method of getting rid OF
itself in case the public changes Its
mind.
Robert Myers made three sugges.
tions for improvement of a new
charter in the light of objections
raised to the old one: Provision fol-
repeal, assurance that civil service
doesn't mean a lifetime job, and
provision for replacing members OF
the council in case of death OF
withdrawal before election.
In reply to an argument that the
county council would have no au-
thority over the Washington Sub.
urban Sanitary Commission and
Park and Planning Commission un-
der the present Governor controlled
setup, Dean James j. Hayden said
that the county council still might
exercise control through manipula-
ton of the purse strings.
Col. Norman B. Ames, chairman
of the board, who presided at the
meeting, urged wider participation
by citizens groups in discussion OF
the charter. He said the boarC
would be glad to appear before any
organization for a public hearing.
