He added the jointly owned or

practical ways to provide high

53-Cent Average Paid
Al Opening Tobacco
Sales in Maryland

Southern Maryland tobacco,
chief source of income in five
counties, sold at auction openings
yesterday at an average of about
So cents a pound. a record in
peace time.
Prices ranged from SO cents to
IL cents. More than 100000
pounds changed hands on seven
warehouse floors in Charles and
Prince Georges Counties.
The Federal Government. for
the first time, bulwarked Mary
land markets with its price sup
port plan and the new condition
appeared at first to puzzle farmer,
buyer and warehouseman.
Government minimums for the
81 grades ranged from 66 to IL
cents a pound, with the whole
calculated to bring an average Of
not less than 43.9 cents pound.
At most auctions, buyers for the
big cigarette companies bought
only q few baskets during the
first hour, causing observers to
predict that a heavy percentage
would be sent to Government
warehouses. .
After q pause for hurried con-
sultation between buyers and
warehousemen, sales were re-
sumed and moved thereafter at a
gradually increasing pace and on
q rising note Of harmony.
When the auctions ended in

ers who sponsored price support
expressed themselves as satisfied
with both the prices and the pro-

Some growers said they would
wait a week or so before making

Hunting Towers
strengthening
Held Necessary
Stote Agency Makes
Ruling on 700-Unit
Alexandra Project

The Virginia State Water Con-
troll Board has ruled that it will
be necessary to treat sewage from
the proposed 700-unit Hunting
Towers apartments at Alexandria.
News of the ruling came from
Richmond today after the Alex
andria City Council last night took
steps to amend its charter so q
sewage treatment plant for the
entire city can be built.
City Manager Robert s. Mar
shall. jr.. said the city would grant
Hunting Towers permission TO
connect with the citys sewer un-
less officially instructed otherwise
by the water board.
He said he had received no Of
fetal word of the boards decision
which was reported by the Asso-
ciated Press.
To Prepare Charter Revision.
On motion of Councilman Leroy
S. Bendhetm last night. City At
torney Joseph M. Pancoast was
asked to prepare charter revi-
sion which would permit the city
to charge rental fees for use Of
the sewer system. The rental rev.
enueS then would be used to am
ortize a revenue bond issue for
construction Of the sewage facili-
ties.
Mr.. Pancoast agreed that pro-
vision of sewage treatment facili-
ties is more important than any,
thing facing Alexandria at this
time" but he reminded the coun-
ell that issuance of revenu bonds
would have to be approved by a
referendum vote. The city. on
the other hand. can issue real es-
tate bonds without a referendum.
Mr.. Pancoast said he doubted
the city would receive enough
revenue from sewer rentals to
amortize capital expenditures and
maintenance costs for the sewer
project. When plans for a sewer
system were prepared several
years ago, he said. the city had
hopes of receiving a Federal grant
for the project. This was not
forthcoming, and the plans never
have been used. Cost of the pro-
ject is estimated at about $4,000
600.
City Manager Reports.
The councils action on the
sewer problem was prompted by
City Manager Marshall's report on
a meeting Of city officials with the
State Water Control Board None
day. He said the meeting was
prompted by the water boards
concern over the Hunting Towers
project but most questions raised
were about steps the city is taking
for overall abatement Of pollution.
A request of the Alexandria BIZ
centennial Commission for funds
to grade the South Lee street
playground for use as an out
door arena was referred to the
Finance Committee. The grad
ing would cost approximately
$4,000. The commission wants
to stage an historical pageant in
the arena the week Of July IL.
