When Edmund D. Campbell, for

declared, he became "the first man
who, in public Office, actually took
up the battle. This week Basil M.

finally said bonds for general i'm

Prince Georges Tank
For Wafer Could Hold
Baseball Diamond

A steel water storage tank, large
enough to. hold Q regulation baseball
diamond is being built for the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Commis-
sion in Prince Georges County.
The tank, second largest in the
world, will hold 100000 gallons of
filtered water after it is completed
early in August. The only larger
tank, situated in India, holds IL
million gallons.
The structure is being built by the
Chicago Bridge and Iron Co. 1t is
81 feet high and 292 feet in diameter.
The tank is rising on top of Hill
road, about a mile west of the inter-
section of George N. Palmer highway
and Sheriff road, IN the Seat Pleas
ant area.
The tank will provide more water
storage for the southern end of the
Sanitary District and more adequate
fire protection in that area.
A total of 1905 tons of steel will
go into the tank, which has a quar-
ter-inch thick steel bottom and a
steel top. The sides consist of three
seven-foot rings of sheet steel. The
bottom ring is one-inch thick.
The entire tank is welded at
every seam. The steel base rests
on the sides, to provide drainage
for surface water that might get
under the tank. There Is a drain
culvert directly under the center
of the structure and cement gut
ter runs completely around the out
side to catch rain water from the
slightly pitched cone-shaped roof.
The steel interior will not rust
because of the use of an electric
rust-prooflng process, officials said.
This consists Of hanging low am
perage electrodes from the roof
down into the water at various
intervals.
It is expected that about three
weeks will be required to fill the
tank So that the system will not
be overtaxed.

Failure Of Arlington's public off,
cials, particularly members of the
County Board and School Board, to
recognize the necessity for a broad
program of puplic improvements,
today was termed the "saddest part
of the whole bond issue fight" by
the man chiefly responsible for
tomorrow's school referendum.
Early in the war, Howard B.
Bloomer, editor of The Arlington
Sun, weekly newspaper, launched
a drive to bring about a vote on a
general county improvement pro-
gram financed by borrowed money.
Office holders have since taken an
Indifferent, if not actively hostile
attitude, he said, adding that he
recognizes the dangers of extrava-
CANT public spending, but the point
at which a program of public i'm
provements should have been under
taken was reached long ago.
'In the face of clearly indicated
willingness to pay on the part of
citizens of the county" he said,
public officials have either stood
mute, or have gone out to fight the
movement just as hard as they can. I"

About 2:30 am. they answered q

were met by quaking colored
janitor who said "eyes were shining"
at him in the darkened basement.
1t was simple matter for the two

and discover they were the eyes Of
a large raccoon. Catching the ami
NAL was another matter.
For the next hour they chased the
raccoon around the basement and
worked themselves into q lather of
perspiration, coal dust and cobwebs,
Finally they cornered 1t, but the
only way to capture 1t was to club
the 25-pound animal over the head
