Mr.. Leeman told The Star:

Frederick c. Belen, member
of the Federation's Public Utilities
Committee, had this to say:
i "In my opinion, the agencies
that have the responsibility of
supervising utility should be
familiar with its financial opera

not in position to demand these

Therefore, the burden rests
with the Public Utilities Commits

Arlington Board
To Participate in
Sewage Survey
County to Proceed
In Expansion PIons
For Present Plant

Fulfilling a pledge. the Airing
ton County Board yesterday pro-
ceeded with plans for expansion
of the county's sewage treatmen,
plant and at the same time agreed
in a regional sewer survey OF
Northern Virginia.
A majority of the Board men,
bers had agreed to this action
Monday night when they met with
Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls
Church officials to discuss the re-
Igional proposal.
Arlington had wanted a slorte,
engineering survey than that fav-
Iored by the other Jurisdictions
hoping it could be completed be-
fore the county went ahead with
expansion of its existing facilities
for which a 50, 617,O00 bond issue
was approved in November. But
when the other communities
would not yield. Arlington Board
members decided to change their
position.
"I think that meeting (Monday
Inight) was a splendid demonstra-
tion of how democratic groups car
get together and work out COM
mon problems" said Robert w
Cox.
1t was On his resolution that the
county board yesterday agreed tc
participate in the regional survey
while at the same time proceedine
with expansion of the county's
existing plant.
Mr.. Cox's resolution commits Ar
lington to payment of $3.50 as its
share of the $4,000 regional sur
Ivey cost.
The cost was apportioned among
the four jurisdictions on basis of
population and the amount that
each community had invested in
sewage disposal facilities.
NUuAty S11aTG RCUUCGUs
When 1t was believed the survey
would be made before Arlington
proceeded with expansion of the
existing plant. the county's share
was set at $12,750.
It will be necessary now for the
other three Jurisdictions slightly to
increase their contribution. This
point was raised at the inter-
ljurisdictional meeting, however
and there were no objections.
Once the final financial details
have been agreed to, the State
Water Control Boards approval
is necessary before the survey
can proceed. An interim commit
tee, which the four jurisdictions
1appointed 10 study pollution prob
lens and which recommended the
area survey, plans to ask the
Water Boards approval in the
near future.
Proceeding with plans for ex-
pansion Of the county's own dis
posal plant. the Board told County
Manager A. T. Lundberg to have
Alexander Potter Associates draw
up the final expansion plans and
to advertise for bids.
Conclusions Backed.
i Mr.. Lundberg read a report
from Alexander Potter Associates
Isubstantiating conclusions of the
County's public services director
r. M. Writ, about sewage disposal
possibilities. Mr.. Writ in January
compiled figures to show that II
would be cheaper for Arlington
to proceed with expansion of its
lpresent plant than to pump sew
age into the District treatment
plant at Blue Plains.
Mr.. Cox said the report indi-
Gated the soundness Of the boards
action in going ahead with con-
lstruction of the plant addition
while at the same time looking to
the future by approving the area
wide survey.
The area survey is to include
various methods of sewage dis
posal, including the proposal te
pipe Virginia sewage to Blue
Plains.

Through laboratory work, DR..
Lincoln said, he has developed the
viruses which thrive best in these
germs to an extreme %virulence.
The viruses are then introduced in
to the sinus cavities through in
halation.
DR.. Lincoln contends that the vir-
uses then destroy the host bacter-
ia, hemolytic staphycoccus aureus,
in the sinuses and work progress
lively through the body, destroying
all such bacteria.
When they are all destroyed, he
says, the viruses die because they
have no Ghost bacteria" likewise,
DR.. Lincoln adds, there are no
Ghost bacteria" left for vir-
uses which may be introduced in
to the body by other means.
DR.. Lincoln has developed two
virus treatments, the alpha and
the beta, consisting of similar vir-
uses which attack similar bacteria
of slightly different composition.

said that his work in curing tuber-
culosis has been proved by sputum
tests made on tubercular patients

Tobeys says that he is but one
of many cancerous patients who
have been cured by DR.. Lincoln.
