The Hyattsville City Council
plans to fight for restoration Of
a watchman at the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad crossing on Balti-

This was made plain last night
when Mayor Caesar L. Aiello and
council members told a represent
ative of the railroad that the
present automatic gates, and flag
ging of trains at the crossing are
inadequate.
The representative contended.
however, that the crossing now
is adequately safeguarded. He
pointed out watchmen are not as
signed to other crossings where
traffic is just as heavy.
appropriate" Action Threatened.
Mayor Aiello warned that If the
railroad fails to act by the March
6 council meeting. the city will
take appropriate" action.
City Attorney Nicholas Orem,
jr.. said he believed there was
little chance of any Hyattsville
legislation being enacted at the
current session of the General
Assembly. He explained the bills
were not deemed of an emergency
nature by the Rules Committee.
Kermit A. Hunt, was awarded
a $1,345 contract to build side
walks on the north side of James
town road from Thirty-first ave-
nue. to Lancer drive.
Petitions for sidewalks on the
south side of Jamestown road
from Thirty first avenue to Lam
Ger drive and on the north and
south sides of Jamestown road
from Ager road to Thirty first
avenue also were received. City
Engineer E. P. Waterman was in
structed to get bids on the prof.
ects.
Annexation to Be Investigated.
Councilman Baggett was asked
to investigate the possibility of an
nexing this area west and south
of Thirty-seventh place.
The Council appropriated $100
for prizes and other expenses for
the city's annual home grounds
improvement contest. Judging will
start about April IS and continue
for 10 days.
The State Roads Commission
offered to share the cost of INSTALL
ing new traffic signals on Balti-
more avenue at Longfellow and
Madison streets. Total cost was
estimated at $4,000. Mayor Aiello
said the city would have to defer
action until funds were available.

Falls Church Council
RenewsMovetoAnnex
Fairfax County Area

The Falls Church City Council
last night voted to renew annexa-
ton proceedings to acquire lots
square miles of Fairfax County
territory.
Boundaries of the area now
sought are similar to those pro-
posed in a suit filed last June.
This, action was dropped in Sep
tember after passage of a $3,000,-
900 sewer improvement bond issue
in the county's Sanitary District
No. /.
Included in the present plan is
land south of Lee boulevard in
cluding the subdivisions of Sleepy
Hollow. Ravenwood and Malbrook.
Lee Boulevard Heights and the
Willston Apartment project, now
nearing completion at Seven
Corners, also come within the
proposed new city.
Several Subdivisions Included.
Between Lee boulevard and Lee
highway. the subdivisions of JET
ferson Village, Tyler Park, Fen
wick Park. Jefferson Village
Apartments and fremont Gar
dens are in the annexable territory.
From fremont on Lee high
way, the line runs to the WASH
ington e. Old Dominion Railroad,
then toward the junction of Idle
wood road and Leesburg pike.
The boundary then runs along
Pimmitt Run, just west of Lemon
road. Territory north of the
present limits beyond Westmore-
land road is included, the pro-
posed new limit striking the Ar
lington County line approximately
l mile from the northwest corner
of Arlington.
Total population of the annex
able area is estimated at 10000.
The city, which now has an area
of 2 square miles. now has be-
tween 5000 and 5000 residents.
Will Be Filed This Week.
City Attorney La Rue Van
Meter said the suit will be filed
this week. The city will have to
wait 80 days before asking Fair
fax County Circuit Judge Paul
Brown to request appointment Of
a three-judge annexation court.
In approving the new annexa-
ton ordinance, the council spe-
cifically refrained from rescind-
ing the ordinance passed last
June. The latter measure was
responsible for halting sale OF
the county's sewer bond issue.
Horace Edwards, Richmond at
torney, who will represent the city
in the annexation proceedings.
presented the ordinance to the
council last night.
Councilman j. H. Mccarthy,
chairman of the Annexation Com
mittee, reported that the city has
made repeated attempts to COM
promise with the county on an
"unambitious" annexation pro-
posal, but none Of these over
lures has borne fruit"
In other action last night. the
council agreed to ask the State
ito take over 680-acre Lake Bar
croft area east of the city. The
property, now owned by the Alex
andria Water Co., will be offered
at private sale.

Virginia House Gets
Bills 10 Cut Powers
Over Wafer Pollution
BY a Sfer Stoff Cerrespondsnf

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 21.-
Powers of the Virginia Water
Control Board to control pollution
would be drastically curtailed by
legislation now before the Gen.
eral Assembly.
Four bills placing more restric-
tions on the boards authority
were introduced in the House of
Delegates yesterday.
House Speaker E. Blackburg
Moore Of Berryville, who is chair
man of the board, said the new
legislation did not have the in
dorsement of his agency. He re-
fused further comment until he
could study the measures.
Chief patron of the bills is Dele
gate H. Brady Altman. Franklin
County. Among the six co-patrons
is Delegate Henry B. Gordon of
Charlottesville.
BY terms of the legislation, the
board would be unable to require
any locality to reduce or cease
pollution unless it is established
that the stream furnishing the
locality it's main water supply is
free of pollution. Also. it would
have to be proved that the locality
is not impairing the water supply
of some other community further
downstream before the board
could force compliance with its
orders.
The bills further provide that
the board could not issue orders
against any locality unless the
voters within the offending area
first approve a bond issue to
finance treatment facilities. Nor
could such orders be issued until
the board has prepared suitable
plans and indicated to the locality
how the abatement program would
be financed. .-.. ..
Another bill would require the
Water Control Board to prepare
a long-range plan for improving
all Virginia streams and classify
them in four categories. 1t would
require that the pollution abate-
ment program be carried out pro-
gressively, commencing with those
streams rated to be the worst. pol
luted.
Mr.. Altman told reporter that
he was trying to give the "'shad
treatment" to the anti-pollution
laws. This is an expression allud-
ing to the cleaning Of fish which
is frequently used here when
someone seeks to remove the "in-
