The District Commissioners will
hold hearing in the near future
TO obtain the views of housewives
on proposed change in the

The proposal has been presented

provisions of the code to permit
artificial lighting in small kitch-

The present code provides that
natural light be provided for all

Many volunteers have joined the

to raise funds for research on the
mysterious disease which causes
muscles to waste away.
Navy 1t. George Dixon, presi-
dent of the 35-member group,

Gas Firm Plans
ToGet So Million
In New Capital
Fund Needed to Meet
Expansion Program,
PUG Hearing Is Told

The Washington Gas Light Co.
said today it plans to raise Sc mil
lion in new capital during 1852 in
order to meet financial require
ments to expand its gas supply
system.
Robert G. Overs, vice president
treasurer, warned that in order to
raise the capital, a gas rate in
crease to consumers is needed first
to supply more operating revenue.
Mr.. Overs explained, as the
Public Utilities Commission hear
ing on the rate increase applica-
tion went into its third day, that
$4.5 million of the capital is pro-
posed to be raised by the sale OF
additional common stock to in
vestors.
Unless the stock is sufficiently
valuable to attract more investors
the witness said, the company will
experience difficulty in getting the
needed expansion capital.
''New Risk" on Supply.
Virtually all of the proposed
new money raising would be de.
voted to extension of gas distribu-
ton facilities which have beer
neceSsitated by steady growth o1
population and new building ir
the Washington metropolitan
Area, the official said.
Mr.. Overs testified yesterday
that a new risk" has forced the
company to face the possibility o.
another change in the type Of ga!
it supplies.
He said another changeover may
be necessary, because the Ma.
tion's underground reserves o1
natural gas are being consumed
faster than new sources of supply
are being discovered.
The company converted its sup.
ply system from manufactured tx
natural gas in 1947 in the interest
of economy.
Points to Geological Figures.
At that time, Mr.. Overs said
geological experts figured thai
natural gas reserves were abou
30 times as great as the rate o.
consumption. Now, however, it |.
believed the known supplies art
only 27 times as great as thu
present consumption rate.

Anti-PoIIution
Work Assured
Kemp Cites New
Facilities at Meeting
Of Interstate Body
By jones BirchfieId

The Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin had the
assurance today that the District
will continue to assume its share
OF pollution abatement work in
the Metropolitan Area.
Harold A. Kemp, District direc-
tor of sanitary engineering and a
former commission chairman, told
commission members last night,
at the winter meeting of the group
in the Hotel Statler, that the Dis
trict now is constructing additions
to its sewage disposal plant at
Blue Plains at a cost of $3.50, 900,
and that further construction, to
cost $9.5 million has been au-
thorized.
Mr.. Kemp was given an award
by the commission for his work
as chairman.
THE steps already taken by the
District to abate pollution are
proof that the District is cognizant
of it's responsibilities. and the
plans for the future prove that it
will continue to assume its share, /"
Mr.. Kemp said.
Completion in 1860.
"Its present plant is now valued
at more than $13 million. We are
now constructing sludge drying,
incinerating and chlorinating IA
cilities at a cost of $3.50, ,000," he
said.
Furthermore, the District Com
missioners have authorized the
construction of a high-rate acti-
waited sludge plant at an esti-
mated cost of sos million, and it
is hoped that construction of this
secondary plant to render ade-
quate treatment will start this
year.
II fully expect that the new
plant will go into partial opera
ton by 1856 and, when completed
in 1860, will be valued at more
than $25 million"
The new District treatment IA
cilities should reduce pollution
problems in the Washington area.
Discussing the problems of de-
veloping a national water policy,
Melvin E Scheidt, fiscal economist
with the Budget Bureau, urged the
commission to give serious con-
sideration to its relation to a broad
policy Of water resources develop
ment.
Data Needed for Parkway.
Mr.. Scheidt said there has been
an amazing spirit Of cooperation
among conflicting Government
agencies in reaching agreement
on an overall water policy.
In closed sessions yesterday, the
commission voted to appoint a
f1ve-man committee to study the
development of the Maryland
shore of the Potomac between
Washington and Cumberland.
The action followed recon-
mendations by two advisory COM
mittees that additional facts are
needed before a decision can be
made on the proposed Chesapeake
& Ohio Canal parkway.
The commission also instructed
its Technical Committee to pre-
pare a comprehensive plan for
pollution abatement on a BASIN
wide scale.
