local officials to handle"

Dugan Asks Dismissa
OF Engineering Firm
In Sewage Program

Arlington County Board mem
ber Daniel A. Dugan has called for
dismissal of a firm of consulting
engineers retained by the county.
The firm, Alexander Potter As
sociateS of New York, drew Speci-
fications for the county's sewage
program. including an addition to
the treatment plant.
Only two bids were received for
the addition and both exceeded
the amount of a $2.617,000 bond
issue approved by the voters to
carry out the program. The en-
Igineering firm has been asked to
study the bids to determine
whether some way can be found
to start work on the projects.
Three Weeks to Decide.
Mr.. Dugan said, II will have no
part in awarding the Arlington
sewage treatment plan contract to
either of the firms who grossly
'overbid the amount specified by
the voters"
The County Board has about
three weeks before it must decide
whether to accept bid on the sew
age work. The bidders were
Thompson-Star Co., Inc, of
New York. $2,874,81O, and Bass
Engineering & Construction Co.
OF Birmingham, Mich. $2,959, $50.
The engineering consultants, Mr..
Dugan said, were hired several
years ago by machine politicians
when they were in power. It is
time to dismiss the firm, he added,
since the persons who hired it are
no longer in power.
Mr.. Dugan asked public support
in his attempt to oust the engi-
Ineering firm.
Calls 1t Unofficial.
Mrs. Florence Cannon, board
chairman, said Mr.. Dugan's view
is not a board opinion, and such
a proposal has not been brought
to the board.
eff Mr.. Dugan had made it an
official matter" Mrs. Cannon said
Il would have been glad to call a
conference of the board with Pot
ter Associates, the county man.

In 1948, Mr.. Dugan made a SIM

tract for a county incinerator

Virginia Courts Urged
To Curb Traffic Deaths
By the Assoeioted Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
31-Virginia's trial justices were
challenged last night to lower the
States zooming traffic fatality
toll.

believed the Old Dominion's road
toll could be drastically trimmed.
He added he felt the trial JUS

violation cases-have the power
more than any other group to ef-
feet a reduction.
Last year, Virginia's traffic IA
tality rate was 90 persons for
every 100 million miles or travel.
This exceeded the national rate
of rs.
Dunman said he thought the
Virginia rate could be sliced to
five deaths per 100 million.

Governor Writes
He Has Difficulty
Obtaining Advice
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, July 31.-Gov.
McKeldin said today a Maryland
chief executive has trouble get
ting adequate advice and formally
proposed q sort of State cabinet.
The Mayor of Baltimore, an Of
flee he once held, has a better staff
arrangement than the Governor,
Mr.. McKeldin said.
And the almost forgotten Gov
ernor'S Advisory Council, a 49,
member group Of elected officials
and department heads, doesn't
meet the vital need of the Gov
ernor for information and advice, 3"
he said.
Gov. McKeldin broached the
subject in a letter to Simon E.
Sobeloff, Baltimore attorney and
head of a commission on admin
istrative organization of the State
government He asked Mr.. Sobel-
off, one of his chief informal ad-
visers, to lay the problem before
the commission.
Says He Is Handicapped.
The Governor had told the
commission at public hearings
that he was handicapped by lack
of aides in formulating and eX-
ecuting broad policies.
In the advisory relationship a
Governor needs his own ap-
pointees, who will work with him
readily" Gov. McKeldin wrote Mr..
Sobelof
Mr.. McKeldin declared a Gov
ernor runs into this difficulty:
He may confer with individual
department heads. But these ad-
ministrators ordinarily are not
men selected ito handle matters
of broad policy and to serve as
major advisers"
He may call on the Governors
Advisory Council, a step seldom
taken. Such members as the
Comptroller and Attorney Cen
eral were elected on their own.
They are thus independent of
the Governor, "even when they
are not, as is now the case, mem
bers of an opposing party" Mr..
McKeldin commented.
Points to Baltimore Board.
Only three members of the
present council were appointed by
Gov. McKeldin.
The Governor asked Mr.. Sobel-
off to consider a group patterned
after the Presidents cabinet
department heads who serve at
the pleasure of the Chief Execu-
tive.
AS other possibilities, he sug-
gested a State version of Balti-
more's Board of Estimates or a
body of staff assistants responsible
only to the Governor.
With aides to assemble and
digest data, the Governor could
become really effective head of
administration in the State in
spite of the pressure of nom
administrative duties which bears
heavily upon him."
The Sobelof commission. formed
by Gov. McKeldin. hopes to fur
nish the 1882 General Assembly
a program of fiscal reforms.
Whatever the commission rec
ommends, the legislature has the
last word. Any proposed constitu-
tional amendments also would be
subject to referendum.
Gov. McKeldin noted a cabinet
or corresponding group probably
could not be created before his
own term expires in 1855.
