Alexandra Authority
Denies No Dog Order
Evicts GI Families

The Alexandria Redevelopment
and Housing Authority today de-
MED that families of overseas
servicemen would be evicted from
the city's public housing projects
if they have dogs.
In statement explaining the
authority's no-dog edict, housing
officials expressed the hope serv-
icemen's families will cooperate
and voluntarily comply with the
regulation"
The housing officials pointed out
servicemen's families are protected
from eviction by the Soldiers and
Sailors Relief Act of 1910, and
that no action is contemplated in
such cases until the affected serv-
icemen returned to this country.
They gave no indication, however,
of wavering from their decision to
evict other public housing tenants
who refuse to comply with the no
dog regulation and listed reasons
why the regulation was imposed.
Before the July l no-dog order,
about $50 families in the 1,151
public housing units kept one or
more dogs-one family had II,
said the housing authority.
For the last three years, due
to the large dog population in
the projects. there has been a
tremendous volume of complaints
concerning the damage, destruc-
ton and nuisance caused by dogs"
the housing authority declared.
The complaints, according to
the agency. included dogs barking
at night, destroying lawns, tear
ing clothing off clothes lines.
turning over trash barrels and
biting children and maintenance
workers.
The authority said there were
only 33 dog owners remaining in
the eight projects that still have
dogs and face eviction November
/. A number of these, the author
ity said, have indicated they will
comply.

Fairfax School Board
To Seek Spec ciaI Tax
II Bond Suit Continues

"A special TAX Tor ScnOOl con-
struction will be requested by
Fairfax County School Board
Chairman Fred w. Robinson early
next year if a sos million school
bond issue is stin in court.
Mr.. Robinson last night told the
School Emergency Committee that
it Is too late for a special levy
this year, but in next years
budget. he will ask "as much as
the law will allow" The COM
mittee met at Oakton School.
The bond issue has been ap-
proved by the voters, but is being
contested by Charles Gardner of
Dranesville and Paul Rhinehart,
jr., of Vienna. When their plea
was denied August / in Fairfax
Circuit Court they said they would
appeal.
Confer Four Times.
The School Board chairman
said he has met with Mr.. Rhine
hart and Mr.. Gardner four times
in recent weeks and has "some
hope that the appeal may be
dropped.
Mr.. Robinson said he believes
"the people behind them are
financing them and won't let
them withdraw" He added he
has been informed by the boards
attorney, John Alexander. that if
the case is decided against Mr.
Gardner and Mr.. Rhinehart, the
board could sue for damages.
The litigation could last "al-
most indefinitely" Mr.. Robinson
said. Bonding firms have told
the board they will not consider
purchase of the issue while an
injunction is threatened. If the
suit is still in court when the
next budget is prepared. Mr.. Rob-
inson added, a special levy will be
"a must"
Plans Face Delay.
The School Board Is proceed
ing with preliminary plans for
school construction. the chairman
said. but faces delay in the pro-
gram because "only four architects
are working when we could have
IL on the job if the bonds were
sold" He estimated that price
increases since the suit was
brought will cost the board ap-
proximately 81 million.
The only buildings now under
construction are a Seven-room
school at Annandale and an eight
room school at Willston Apart
ments, Falls Church. Approx
mately $2.025 per month is being
spent in rent for temporary class
rooms at several locations in the
county.
Mr.. Robinson said there is not
enough money in the $10.5-m million
bond issue to put all our children
in good schools" He said even
though the county will receive
State and Federal aid for con-
struction, other sources of funds
will have to be found.
Second Referendum Proposed.
Robert j. Carmody of Falls
Church. suggested that a second
referendum be held in order to
speed construction. After this
vote, Mr.. Carmody said, a friendly
suit could be filed and disposed of
as quickly as possible, permitting
the construction to proceed.
Arthur H. Bissell, jr., of Tauxe-
mont, said the Gardner -Rhinehart
suit should be attacked in court
as fraudulent and dilatory."
Mrs. Eleanor Justusson, chair
man of the Emergency Committee,
said both proposals will be studied
by the groups Executive Com
mittee.

PAGE DAIRY GIVEN
ORDER TO CEASE
CREEK POLLUTION
of Health Makes
First Move on Industrial
Wastes Here
Towns Part i'm Pollution of
Streams Expected to Come
UP Shortly

First move by the Ohio Depart
ment of Health to eliminate pollution
of Bluffton streams came this week
with announcement of state action
ordering the local plant of the Page
Dairy Co. to cease discharging milk
bearing wastes in Big Riley creek.
The order followed an industrial
waste survey made here last August
z and 8, and following pattern
established elsewhere in the state the
department of health next will make
a survey of Bluffton waterways to
determine the extent of pollution re-
sulting from discharge of sewage into
the streams.
In the order to the Page Dairy Co.,
f. II. Waring, chief engineer of the
health department, informed the firm
1T is therefore necessary that you
take steps to provide the necessary
treatment for the wastes. A high
degree of treatment will be necessary
to meet the requirements of Riley
creek"
Pollution Charged
Heavy pollution of the Riley creek
results from wastes discharged by the
dairy plant, according to Warnings
order. Commenting on the extent of
pollution, the order read: "The load
discharged to the creek, on the basis
of the B. 0. d. and flows, is about
Isl pounds per day which would have
a population equivalent of 904 per-
sons"
The order continued:
There are two alternatives for
provision of treatment, one being
cooperative effort with the village of
Bluffton toward the construction of a
municipal sewage plant into which
your waste would be accepted; the
other the provision of facilities on an
individual basis.
Segregate Wastes
Whichever method is selected, it
will be essential that cooling water
and milk-bearing wastes be segre-
gated.
ut is recommended that you en-
ploy competent sanitary engineer
to guide you in the most economical
solution to the problem. 1t is re-
quested that you advise this office
what action you take toward COM
pliance with recommendations con-
tained herein"
No mention was made in the order
of Buttons sewage problem, pend
ing a check of the extent of pollution
from that source. Sanitary engineers
from the state department are ex-
pected to begin making tests of
streams in this area beginning this
fall, however. and the towns respon-
sibility in eliminating stream pollu-
tion likely will come in for state at
tention before much longer.
