mr.. Forwards interest in his
home is well exempIified by the
commodious, beautiful residence,
built in large part by his own
hands"

Landowners along the Patuxent
River above Laurel have united
against the threatened loss of theil
farms. and some of their homes
because of plans to dam the river
to increase suburban Maryland's
water supply.
The threat stems from the pro-
posal of the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission to builo
the dam across the river, two miles
west of Laurel. and to convert q
f712 mile stretch of the Patuxent
between Laurel and Mink Hollow
near Ashton. into a lake. The
dam would be 1900 feet long ane
lis feet high.
Although the lake would f1boo
773 acres, the commission want.

Potomac Electric Power Co.
bought the property 10 years age
and remodeled the farmhouse.
He planned to subdivide the
land and sell lots to persons who
like himself, wanted to get away
from the city. But under the
commissions plans. he would lose
his home and farm to the rising
waters of the Patuxent.
His neighbor. Charles C. John
son, who owns 125 acres along
the river, also would lose his 100
year-old house.
Then, there is Raymond w
Cotton, Washington patent attor-
ney. who faces the loss of 70 acres
of his 153-acre farm at Fulton. in
Howard County. about 8 miles
northeast of Silver Spring.
Mr.. Cotton, who lives in Arling-
ton. had plans for a new home
overlooking the river.
Defended by Engineer.
A strong defense Of the COM
missions proposal came from
Chief Deputy Engineer Harry B.
Shaw.
Our plans are not unusual"
he declared. I'VE followed the
same procedure when we built the
Brighton dam in 1943. In building
the Laurel dam, the commission
must protect the reservoir from
present as we'll as future pollu-
ton by preventing persons from
building homes at the rivers edge.
1--WE also want to prevent ero-
sion and introduce conservation
measures to protect the land from
man and the elements"
He pointed out that the river,
which now ranges from Is to so
feet in width between Laurel and
Mink Hollow, will be about 700
feet wide after the dam is built.
And during floods it is expected
to widen to about 900 feet and
cover approximately 970 acres.
Asked whether the commission,
which serves only the metropoli-
tan areas of Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties, could
condemn land in Howard County
Mr.. Shaw explained that author
ity to take land outside the agen-
cy's sanitary district is contained
in a 1915 State law which set up
the commission.
Emphasizes Adjudic alton.
He also said that if property
owners refuse to accept commits
sion offers for their land. they
may seek higher prices before a
condemnation jury. In such cases,
the commission cannot take over
the land involved until after the
jury fixes the price. he said.
While the commission already
has received a permit from the
Maryland Department of Geology
Mines and Water Resources to
take additional water from the
Patuxent, it has not yet applied
for permission to build the dam
according to Mr.. Shaw.
This step probably will be taken
soon. however, and if the permit
is granted. the dam is expected to
be completed within the next two
and a half years.
The project is part of a $40 mil
lion program designed to double
the commissions water supply
facilities and prevent water short
ages such as have existed in the
past.
