Smith Acquitted
In inAnti:Po||ution
Law Test Case
Sand Firm Operator
Charged With Failing
To File Plant Report

Alfred H. Smith, wealthy Prince
Georges County businessman. was
acquitted yesterday by a Circuit
Court jury on warrant charging
him with violating the Maryland
anti-pollution law.
The State Water Pollution Con-
troll Commission thus lost an i'm
portant test case in which it
sought to establish a precedent.
Mr.. Smith, as operator of the
A. H. Smith Sand g. Gravel Co.
of Branchville. was tried at Upper
Marlboro on warrant charging
that he failed to file a report in
compliance with an order of the
commission. The report was de-
manded when commission chem
lists stated that discharge from
the sand and gravel plant polluted
Indian Creek.
Under the law, the commission
notified Mr.. Smith of it's findings
and called on him to submit a re-
port, showing what he was doing
to correct the conditions. Such
reports are required by Maryland
law.
Mr.. Smith wrote the commission
that he disagreed with its chem
lists. He declined to report on any
corrective action. He contended
this correspondence constituted
the legal report" The commits
sion argued to the contrary.
Mr.. Smith, who also is presi-
dent of the Bank of Riverdale
was convicted of the charge in the
trial magistrates court Septem-
ber 16 He was fined $50. His case
came up on appeal yesterday in
the Prince Georges County Cir
cult Court. Judge John B. Gray,
jr,. presided, and Michael T. Nc
Very of Meadows. was foreman
of the jury.
Kenneth C. Proctor. assistant
attorney general of Maryland
who prosecuted the case, said the
Water Pollution Control Commits
sion intends to proceed further
against Mr.. Smith. The lawyer
said the courts will be asked to
grant an Injunction for the pur-
poses of requiring Mr.. Smith to
comply with the anti-pollution
regulations. That would be civil
action. whereas the one yesterday
was under the criminal law.
Court rulings in civil case prob
ably would deal with the validity
of the anti-pollution law.
In the criminal case yesterday
the commission sought to set a
precedent on the matter of filing
reports. /
Commission witnesses wer
Paul w. Mckee, it's executive
secretary, and John G. Walters
chemist. Mr.. Smith took the stand
IN his own defense and introduced
evidence of water analysis by
, John c. McRae of Falls Church
an engineer.
Waldo Burnside Of Hyattsville
Mr.. Smiths lawyer. said Mr.
Smith never should have been
taken into court on a criminal
warrant. He said correspondence
with the Water Control body con-
stituted report, though Mr.
Smith did not agree with the COM
missions findinps
