Proposals
For ,!!'.|'Y Bay Criticized j! i BY
3 Virginia Delegates
h ne Assoeiated Press ,'a

RICffMCND, va, Jan. -Three
menEefs Of the Virginia General As
sembly today criticized recommen-
dations in the report Of the Chesa-
peake-Potomac Commission cover
ing control OF fishing and grabbing
in Chesapeake Bay.
The trio-G. Alvin Massenberg
House speaker, and Delegates
Charles K. Hutchins and Paul
Crockett-made their stand clear
after Gov. Lane of Maryland went
on record in favor of proposals laio
down by the report and Gov. Tuck
of Virginia said sufficient safe
guards regarding the bay were not
provided for Virginia. 5s
The commission recommended 9
Maryland-Virginia Chesapeake Bay
Authority which would control fish
ing and grabbing in the bay ane
oystering in the Potomac River.
Gov. Tuck announced, however
that recommendations concerning
the Potomac River met his approval
and that he will propose to the Gen.
eral Assembly that they be adopted
Mr.. Crockett said that "it has
been the experience of Virginia
that her connections with Mary
land as concerns fisheries have
been none too happy in the past
and most assuredly we do not det
sire to enter into any further ar
rangement that might prove en-
barrassing to either State in the
future"
Mr.. Hutchins declared he In
tended ito fight this thing through
if it comes down to a matter OF
Virginia regulating her own af-
fairs without outside influences and
infrngements."
Mr.. Massenburg said the com.
mission had exceeded its authority
by recommending such sweeping
control of the bay by the proposed
seven-man authority.
The Governors of the two States
would appoint three men each ano
the seventh member would be
chosen by agreement of the CHIEF
executives. =
The study commission was com.
posed of members from each Of the
States. ~, ...-

vageable spectacles and dentures
every year.
| The now gritless sewage passes
sthkpugh Ventura meter, where its
531dM ID measured and tabilated
Air is blown into the liquid to speed
grease separation. Because Wash.
lngton is not an industrial city, Mr.
Fuhrman's problems are less COM
plicated than most. Compared tc
Chicago, with its packing plant
refuse, Washington is a sanitary
engineers dream.
Sedimenta tion Tanks Next.
The sewage then flows into sedi.
mentation tanks where solids settle
to the bottom and grease rises to
the top. Blue Plains has II sedi-
mentation tanks and plans to con-
struct four more. They are needed
now, Mr.. Thurman says.
Sludge from the Sedimentatior
tanks is pumped into 84-foot diam
eter digestion tanks and the liquid
IS piped out into the Potomac fol
discharge. Eight digestion tanks
are in operation at Blue Plains and
four more are scheduled for con-
struction.
Last year the Districts treatment
plant recovered 286,313,000 cubic feet
OF sludge gas which has most of the
qualities of natural gas but produces
fewer thermal units per volume
During the war, sludge gas went te
heat the adjacent Navy-operateo
Bellevue housing project.
Blue Plains now sells its surplus
sludge gas to the Naval Research
Laboratory next door. Most Of the
gas, however, goes to operate a 1900
horsepower sludge gas engine that
generates power for the treatment
plant. Last year Blue Plains pro-
duced 86.7 per cent Of the electric
power required to operate the plant
Sludge gas also provides fuel for the
plants central heating system.
Through Vacuum Filters.
Sludge from the digestion tanks Is
washed and mixed with Potomac
River water, passed through vacuum
filters, conditioned with ferrit
chloride and pressed into a cake
about 80 per cent solid.
This sludge cake, end product o1
the Blue Plains plant, is loaded ontt
railway cars and shipped to the
District penal institution, Lorton
Va, where it Is used as fertilizer
Blue Plains ships Is cars Of sludgs
a week. In this sludge cage, Mr.
Fuhrman sees great possibilities O
another profitable product that, i
adequately dehydrated, could be sole
commercially.
Before 1888 the District discharged
all its sewage, untreated, into tn
Potomac. BY 1882, the United State
Public Health Service, acting unde
la Senate resolution, surveyed th'
situation and recommended con
struction of treatment plant.
Apparently the District has beel
sewage conscious for years, MI
Thurman says. Back in 1889 tn
then superintendent of sewers, D. z
McComb wrote: TT would seen
sale to assume that the Potoma
River may be depended upon +
purify the crude sewage of the Dis
trict until the 100000 limit of popu
: lation is reached, which will prob
ably be between the years 1880 an
l940.".
The Census Bureau couldn't hay

Free State Forestry
J. f. Paulhamus

Although red pine has been recon-
mended rs one Of the best all around
trees for general planting purposes
il is by no means the only species
which will give satisfactory results
in this county Other species which
have done well here are shortleof
pme. scrub on Virginia pine. Norway
Spruce, Scotch pine and larch. 1t
should be remembered that many of
these trees have been planted only a
comparatively short time and the
present indications may not hold out
over a longer period of time; never
theless, results obtained from present
planting indicate that the above
species will do we'll in this county
where the site is suited to the parti-
eular tree species in question. Tree
growth and nature will also tend to
change with change in the age of
the tree regardless Of tn sit.
The purpose for which planting is
made and the future product desired
should be given important consider
alton as one species may suit a spe-
cial purpose far better than another
one. If short time product such as
pulpwood is desired the species
chosen may have a high initial grow
tn rate which will tend to taper off
after 40 or more years. Such a change
would seldom affect this type of prod
uct as much of the material should
be harvested before that age is
reached If lumber is final product de-
sired. the tree to be used may have
slower but more uniform growth rate
over longer period Of time which
will. in the long run, produce more
wood suitable for use as lumber
One of the above species which has
been tried with good results so far
here in the county is larch. Larch is
one confer which, unlike the pines,
loses its needles in the winter It is
normally suited to a cool climate and
although its natural range is reported
to include extreme western Maryland
and adjacent West Virginia it is more
abundant from northern Illinois, In
diana and Ohio northward to the
northern limit Of tree growth. Il is
described as "a small to medium
sized tree 40 to so feet high and to
2 feet in diameter with a long clear,
cylindrical bole, open pyramidial
crown and shallow wide-spreading
root system. I'm the southern part of
its range it is usually restricted to
cool swamps, or splagnum boys, but
farther north it makes best growth
on moist beaches. Growth of young
trees IS on favorable sites is rapid,
but decreases after 40 to 80 years,
years
Another reference gives the desired
site as well drained with sun. This
species is susceptible to attacks of
the larch sawfly which will severely
damage paintings Of this species. 1t
may also be subject to windthrow in
asmuch as the root system is shallow.
The early rapid growth of this spe-
cies would make it desirable for pulp
wood purposes where maximum size is
not the important item.
This species has been more or less
widely used in reforestation paintings
throughout the eastern United States.
One Of the best local paintings is

cancel each other out. Then you
will be able to examine this mat

Advice Given
To Prevent
Holiday Accidents

| CHICAGO, Dec. 23-'Don't Let
Death Take Your Holiday |"
| That slogan will keynote the
National Safety councils nation
wide campaign to hold down the
huge Christmas-New Years acct
dent toll.
Each year accidents cast a sha-
dow on the holiday celebration of
thousands of families throughout
the nation, according to Council
figures which shows the year-end
holiday season to be the most
dungeons period in the year.
Joining forces with the Council
in a united effort to call public
attention to the extra holiday
and the extra caution needed to
overcome them are city and state
officials, civic groups, local safe
ty councils, and 1870 national or
CARNATIONS.
The Council said that heavier
travel and the festive spirit of
the holiday season add to the nor
mai winter hazards, such as bad
weather, slippery roads and more
hours of darkness. Traffic acct
dent deaths on both Christmas
Eve and Christmas Day total
more than two or three times the
annual daily average.
