On Advisory Council

Members of the Citizens Ad-
visory Council, which came into
being under a recent District re-
|organ'za zation, probably will not
have to resign because Of the re-
suit of the election and the change
in administration.
This was pointed out last night
by Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue, on "Your Commissioners Re-
port" televised over WMAL-TV,
The Stars station.
Non-Partisan AppOintees.
Mr.. Donohue told reporters in
terviewing him he did not think
the council would be affected, in
|aSmuch as its members are ap-
pointed on a non-partisan basis.
He was asked if he would con-
tinue as Commiss ;oner if Presi-
|dent-elect Eisenhower asked him
to remain on the job. The Com
missioner termed the question a
moot one" and said he didn't like
ito answer moot questions.
Also brought up was the matter
of the Commissioners action in
connection with hackers permits.
At a recent meeting of the Com
missioners' Traffic Advisory Board,
it was reported that the city heads
had reversed IS per cent of rejec-
tionS made by the Hackers Board.
Some of the reversals allegedly in
volved permits of men with GRIM
inal records.
Justice Held Guide.
Mr.. Donoheu said the Commits
sioners tried to determine these
appeals on the basis of justice.
He said that if a man had COM
mitted a crime IS years ago, but
none since then. his application
for hackers permit should be
given consideration. He said a
permit issuance must be con-
sidered on the record and not in
volve personalities.

Precautions on Amounts.
Mr.. Jackson emphasized that, to
insure proper mixing of the
fiuoride and water, all necessary
engineering precautions have been
taken. He said an efficient feed
ing system will be in operation,
and the equipment will be ade-
quately supervised, with proper
controls to insure that the cor
rect proportions are added.
| The equipment is good and will
be skillfully operated, Mr.. Jackson
declared. A special type of plastic
pipe, easily bent, is being used in
the new equipment. All the ap-
paratuS is being installed by the
Army engineers own mechanics
and electricians, MI. Jackson ex-
Iplained.
Here's how the apparatus works
When in full operation, the $50
pound drums of f1uoride will be
taken to the scale house on the
ground level of the main plant.
There they will be opened and a
flexible hose will be dropped into
a drum.
BY vacuum suction, the material
will be taken up to a top floor and
run into a centrifugal separator
and bag filter unit. This will in
sure that there will be full filtra-
ton of dust to prevent it from
getting out into the plant. All
the fluoride handling will be in
an inclosed system. From the
filter unit, it will be dumped
through gate into huge storage
bin.
Chutes to HOppers.
BY gravity, it will be fed into
chutes that lead to hoppers and
thence to the proportioning ma
chimes. Solution tanks at the
bottom of the two mixing ma
chimes are equipped with jet action
agitators. as well as mechanical
agitators. These insure proper
and thorough mixing of the fluo-
ride with the water, officials
explained.
There is one mixing machine for
the Dalecarlia plant and another
alongside it will serve the Nc
MILAN Filtration Plant at First
and Douglas streets NV.
Gauges and controls will tell
whether the hopper is empty or
full. They will also tell how much
of the fluoride is being fed into
the water.

sized.
