Small Steel Tabs
For D. {. Car Tags
Under Consideration

Because of steel shortage the
Commissioners are considering is
suing small tabs for attachment
to old automobile license plates,
rather than new tags beginning
next year.
The move was recommended by
Police Supt. Robert j. Barrett. in
place of another suggestion to
provide only one tag per automo-
bile.
Maj. Barrett said it is important
in the detection of crime to have
tags on both ends Of cars.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp, had advised police the
Occoquan workhouse has enough
steel on hand to make tags for
only one more war if two plates
are provided per car. Occoquan
soon must begin to make next
years plates.
- Maj. Barrett said Mr.. Keneipp
was considering a recommended
|tion that only one tag be issued
for 1852 and 1853 so that there
would be enough steel for two
years.
Tabs instead Of new plates were
Issued here during World War II.

Virginia Board Head
Warns Of Breakdown
On Pollution Delays
By jones BirchfieId
Stor Sfuff CORRESPONDENT

BERRYVIILE, Va, Mar. %. -
T.. Blackburn Moore, chairman OF
the Virginia Water Control Board
said today he was very doubtful
if the board will permit further
delays in correcting the sewage
pollution in the Virginia commu-
mites near Washington.
Mr.. Moore, who also is speaker
of the House of Delegates, said
the Virginia COMMUNICATING
ton and Fairfax Counties and The
cities of Alexandria and Falls
Church-have had ample time to
survey the possibilities of central
treatment plant for the area. or
a system whereby the District of
Columbia would treat the Vir-
ginia wastes.
He said the board probably
would construe any further delays
as "stalling" on the part of the
Virginia communities.
Have Money and Plans.
Arlington, he said, now has the
plans and the money to enlarge
it's present plant, and Fairfax
also has the money and plans for
a new plant. Fairfax now is work.
ing on additional sewer lines.
Alexandria has the working
plans, he said, but no money yet
for construction.
He referred to recent state
ments by Harold A. Kemp. chairS
man of the Interstate Commission
on The Potomac River Basin, that
the Potomac River below Wash
ington would become septic dur
ing a summer of low-weter flow
Even if work is started imme-
diately, Mr.. Moore said, it will re-
quire time to complete the pro-
posed Virginia projects. Further
delays will only add to the dangers
from the river in the Washington
area.
Time to Find Answers.
Recalling that the idea for a
joint survey of the Virginia sew
age problems first was proposed
in 1947, Mr.. Moore said the ccm-
munities have had plenty of time
to find their answers to this prob
lem. He said a survey that would
have given the answer could have
been made weeks ago if those in
authority in the various commu-
mites had really wanted it.
He pointed out that the Virginia
board, under the law, has no au-
thority to permit delays where
conditions are critical.
"Our board can't tell one city
lit must provide treatment facjli-
ties, and then turn around and
tell another city that we will look
in the other direction because
that city may not want to con-
|struct a project at that time.
"The board has followed policy
of cleaning up the most heavily
polluted areas first. and certainly
no one could say that the Potomac
River in the front door of the Ma
tons Capital isn't a critical area >
