Until about a year ago. residents
along section of Arlington'S Lub-
Der Run were well pleased that the
clear, quiet little stream flowed
through their back yards.
Many of them moved lawn fur
niture out to the bank of the
stream and they built picturesque
bridges SO that they could cross
easily to their property on the
other side. Then they would sit
under the huge trees and enjoy
the setting.
The once-peaceful stream cuts
through the back yards of homes
In the 800 block of North Wood
row street between Wilson boule-
ward and Fairfax drive.
Now. the heavy volume of
home building in the county and
adjacent areas has increased and
accelerated the flow of Lubber
Run and other county streams.
Lubber Run becomes raging
torrent when it rains and the
water swells to more than five
feet above the stream bed, cutting
into the smooth lawns.
Erosion Attacks Banks.
Erosion has broken down the
banks so that what was once a
little brook hardly three feet
across now is from 8 to IL feet
wide.
The property of a Wilson boule-
ward hardware store was being
undermined during storms. The
proprietor built a 40-foot wooden
wall, about 8 feet high, to save
his store. Part of his parking lot
lies in the stream bed about 8
feet below street level.
The wall provides a buffer pro-
tecting the store but it also serves
as a chute, which throws water
into a high bank on the other
side of the stream. This is the

lstruction that resulted"
No Money, County Replies.
The county; has replied that
funds are not available for such
Ia project. r. M. Writ, the coun-
TVS director Of public service, esti-
mates the cost of covering Lubber
Run from Washington boulevard
to Carlyn Springs road. the Sec
ton requested In the petition, at
5000, 900.
Arlington has 20 drainage pro-
jects marked, urgent" and funds
for only q few Of the smaller
jobs. Mr.. Writ estimates the
cost Of q thorough storm sewer
program at $50 million.
A bond issue Of approximately
81 million, which would include
IAN undetermined amount for
storm sewers, may be presented
to the voters this fall for their
approval or rejection.
Mr.. Wirt's request for approx
rmately $650.000 for drainage work
in 1951-52 was trimmed in the
adopted budget to about $3.50 900.
One of the items cut out of the
budget was $4,000 for temporary
work along Lubber Run, which
MIR. Writ considers one of the
worst four or five drainage prob
lens in the county.
The county is taking some steps,
however, to prevent further dam
age to some Of the Woodrow street
properties. Maintenance funds
are being used to construct slop-
ling walls Of cement blocks along
portions Of the side Of the stream
near the homes. The project is
limited. highway officials say, by
the small amount OF money avail
able.
Lubber Runs increased volume
and speed have been caused by
three factors. according to Mr..
Writ:
Construction Of new subdivisions

the run; lowering the stream bed
where a culyert has been built
under Wilson boulevard. and in.
|stallation Of a six-foot storm
drainage pipe that empties into
the run at Fairfax drive.
Often Dry ut Source.
Lubber Run begins near Lee
highway as a tiny stream bed
which is dry except during rain
storms. New housing develop
|ments add to the flow. Developers
install storm sewers In their pro-
jects but some of the water runs
through older areas where there
lis no drainage system.
Until it gets to Washington
boulevard. Lubber Run is still a
small stream. On the south side
of Washington boulevard the run
has been covered for about a block
by Aberdeen street.
When there is heavy drainage
the water coming toward the
Woodrow street homes from Wash.
ington boulevard is joined by the
flow from the Fairfax drive outlet
to form a torrent.
South of Wilson boulevard the
county has covered the banks with
concrete blocks for part Of the dis
lance to Carlyn Springs road
There, the stream enters Lubbel
Run Park, a county recreation
area, and flows into Four Mile
Run, another problem stream

Savage River
Dam Nears
Completion
Was Started in 1913:
As WPA Project to
Control Potomac
By jones BirchfieId
Sfor Sfaff cevgespendsnY

LUKE, Md. June 25.-One Of
the first projects designed to con-
troll the flow in the upper Poto-
mac River is nearing completion
in the mountains above this
Western Maryland town.
The Savage River dam, started
in 1899 as a WPA project, is ex-
pected to be completed by late
summer. It will form a noun
tain lake that will hold back the
spring and fall floods and allow
the water to be gradually re-
leased during the dry. summer
months to maintain an even flow
in the Potomac's North Branch.
The dam. originally conceived
primarily as food control prof.
|ect. actually viii serve a two-fold
purpose-helping to prevent floods
in the upper river. and reducing
pollution by providing more water
In the river during the summer.
More Even Flow Promised.
It's effect on communities lying
below here should be apparent
next summer when a more even
river flow should reduce consid-
erably the nuisances OF o heavily
polluted stream.
Contractors estimate that the
dam, constructed of an earth CEN
ter and rock riprap sides, should
be ready to receive water by late
next month. Under normal
weather conditions it should be
filled by winter or early spring.
A huge concrete spillway win
take care Of any overflow, while
gates in tunnel under the dam
will provide q constant fiow in
the Savage River during the. time
the dam is filling.
The dam was more than half
filled last spring, but had to be
drained to allow contractors TO
complete the tunnel. The dam
will form a lake that will extend
back several miles through VAL
leys at the base Of Savage Noun
tain.
The dam will be semiautomatie
in its operation. At gauging sta
tons on the lower river devices

matically inform the dam keeper
the exact flow of the Potomac at
all hours. II the flow decreases,
water will be released to bring
the river back to normal. It's OPP
Grafton will be under the direc.
ton Of the Corps Of Engineers.
Survey Made In 1893.
The idea for the dam across the
Savage River. came from the
Upper Potomac River Board after
10 survey in 1888. In 1895 the
Maryland Legislature authorized
the creation Of the Upper Potomac
River Commission to plan the con-
struction and operation Of the
dam.
Alleganey County contributed
81 million toward its construction
and $4,000 toward operation and
maintenance. The structure was
planned and construction carried
out under supervision of the En-
gineers.
The dam was little more than
half finished in 1912 when the war
put an end to the project. It was
started again in 1949.
The Savage River dam will be
but a single link in plans to con-
troll floods along the river. The
Corps Of Engineers recently an
nounced that q study will be made
to determine II flood protection is
needed at Kitzmiller, Westernport.

towns along the river.
