County Board Meets
Today on Increase in
Trash Collection Rate

A protest against the increase in
refuse collection rates announced
yesterday by the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission will be
considered by the Montgomery
County commissioners today.
The Sanitary Commission, con-
tending that truck drivers wages
have increased IS per cent in four
years, announced that the rate will
be increased from $125 to $1.50 per
month, effective tomorrow, in both
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties.
o. w. Youngblood, member of
the Board of County Commissioners,
said he will suggest that the board
act today to protect the increase.
There is little we can do beside
protest. he said. THE Sanitary
Commission legally can increase
rates as much as it wants and there
is nothing we can do about it.
Its an easy way to run a busi-
ness. just increase rates to make
up for loss. I think the Legisla-
ture next year should take steps to
see either that the Sanitary Com
mission has decreased powers, Or
that the county commissioners have
more control over what Independent
agencies may do"
State Senator Roy Tasco Davis,
head Of Montgomery's all-Repub-
lican legislative delegation, said he
vas opposed "in principle" to the
rate increase because the citizens
of the county have no control over
the operation of the sanitary COM
mission through locally elected off,
cials the commission is ap-
pointed by the Governor on a par
tisan basis"
The trash fee is collected along
with the water service charge, he
pointed out, and consequently a
county resident cannot refuse to pay
for trash collection.
The commissions statement de-
clared that it's 1916 collections
showed a 20 per cent deficit. 1t
added that there are more than
$4,000 units from which collections
must be made, about 1000 more
than last year.

Falls Church Votes
Wafer Main Survey,
Bond Referendum

The Falls Church Town Council
took two steps last night to solve
the community's water supply prob
lem.
I. 1t authorized a survey to de-
termine the best route for a water
main from Dalecarlia Reservoir, in
the District, to Falls Church, with
an estimate of the costs.
2. 1t moved to conduct referen-
dunn, about the middle of Novem-
ber. on a proposal to float an $780,
600 bond issue to finance the
project.
Faced with heavy demands for
water which the town has been
unable to supply. council members
have requested Arlington County to
supply additional water under -e-
cent congressional legislation. but
have received no definite reply.
Difference in Rates Noted.
Councilman J. H. Mccarthy
pointed out that Falls Church now
buys water from Arlington at the
rate Of 500 per million gallons.
The county purchases the water
direct from the reservoir for SIS
per million gallons. BY saving the
difference, he said, Falls Church
could pay off the proposed bonds
and the town also could reduce its
water rates to the level OF Arling-
ton rates.
Arlington charges $3.50 per quar-
ter for 10000 gallons of water and
allows 5 per cent discount for
prompt payment. Falls Church
charges $3.50 for 10000 gallons and
allows no discount. The town also
charges at the rate Of 80 cents per
1000 for water in excess of 10000
gallons.
The construction Of several large
housing projects on the outskirts of
Falls Church hinges upon adequate
water and a sufficient supply has
not been obtained from Arlington to
utilize the towns new storage tank.
Engineer to Make Survey.
Bernard Locraft, Washington en-
gineer who recently completed a
road survey for Falls Church, was
retained by the Council to complete
the water survey within 30 days at
a cost not to exceed $1,000. He was
asked to prepare a report which
could be presented to citizens before
the referendum.
Town Manager Roy ]. Dunn said
a 24-inch main could be laid along
Great Falls street to Kirby road,
thence down Kirby, crossing under
the Potomac River at Snake Island.
He estimated the cost of the main
at $40 foot for a total outlay of
100000. Mr.. Dunn said the main
would traverse the Franklin Park
and Chester Brook areas of Fair
fax County, which could tap into
the line.
The town attorney was instructed
to petition the Circuit Court to set
a date about the middle Of Novem-
Der for the proposed bond issue
referendum.
The council approved the rezoning
of a 133-foot frontage on Broad
street to commercial. to permit con-
struction of shopping center. It
also approved the site for the 486-
unit Tyler Garden development on
the old Gundy tract.

members have started keeping Gov
ernment trucks from moving in and
out of the project.
If that practice does not stop al

matter Immediately to the Federal

Washington family of four can live
for one week on food costing

Furthermore. a member who at
tended the first of series of meet

ton and costs last night said she
was feeding her husband and three
children for $1961 a week-propor-
tionately less than the family of

Pamphlet Cites Example.
The Red Cross pamphlet, Better
Nutrition" available at the meet
ing in Walsh House, 202O Massa-

example of Washington's minimum
cost of feeding the family of four
over weeks period:
Father, moderate work $4.75
Mother, moderately heavy

Weekly cost ------.s $3.50
These figures were compiled from
research only few weeks old, Mrs.
M. E. Miles, chairman of the Nutri-
ton Division, said. They represent
an increase of $1.70 over prices of
last April.
Furthermore, the estimate in

necessary to good health, she en-

cheese; 81, citrus fruits or toma-

graph accompanying Sundays story
were assembled in one super-market,

All the food could not have been
bought for 1888 in that one store

store. 1t required shopping around
and planning by the housewife, as
we told yon. ''
Now here are the details on the
menu for Wednesday.
AS you look back on our original
shopping list, printed Sunday, you'll
see mother bought split peas. Now,
split pea soup is hearty, nourishing
and satisfying. Here again mother
saves herself some additional work
by making enough for two meals
The balance of the soup will be
stored in cool place and served for
lunch on Friday. The leaves and
tops of the celery go into the soup
kettle for flavor; out of the eight or
nine slices in u pound of bacon
she used two of those slices on Mon
day to add flavor to the green salad,
and she wants to save four for Sum
day, so that leaves her two or three
slices. She can add those to the
split pea soup, if she likes the bacon
flavor.
One Of the apples, a few raisins
anG part of the cabbage make a
good side dish. The salad adds
contrast in food texture-tnat
something crisp" to bite into. There
was enough pudding left over from
Monday dinner to use for lunch.
The scraps of the beef roast were
mixed with raw potatoes and ar
onion for flavor to make dish OF
hash for dinner. Mother adds part

table relish as an accompaniment
to the hash. You'll notice that or
this limited budget she can't afford
the more expensive bottled relishes
or condiments from the store. They
add little in the way of food value
anyway, and are used mainly tt
enhance the flavor of a NEIL.
There were enough carrots ano
peas left to mix with a cream
sauce to stretch them out for q
vegetable dish. The fruit cup car
be made from a can of the fruits
purchased, or a baked apple car
be served for dessert. Out of the
2 pounds of apples she bought she
has used only one to add to the
cabbage salad.
Tomorrow we'll print the details
