P| ans Action
In Sewer DELAYS
Considers Invoking
Penalties as Rise in
Costs CurtuiIs Work

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors is preparing to crack
down on egineering delays, which
threaten to cut short the Sanitary
District No. sewer improvement
program.
The board yesterday voted to
have Consulting Engineer G.
Hubbard Massey appear at meet
ing on April % to show cause why
penalty provisions Of his sewer
contracts should not be invoked
James j. Corbalis, jr.. county
sanitary engineer, said construc-
ton costs increased from 5 to is
per cent on several projects while
working plans were tied up by
the engineering firm.
With the award of a $198. 1884
contract for 5.43 miles of sewers
in the Bailey's Crossroad area
yesterday, Mr.. Corbalis said, only
$112,151 remained of the So mil
lion sewer bond issue. He said
the $112,151 was insufficient to
install all the sewers originally
planned in the Falls Church area
The Falls Church program is
the only remaining portion of the
So million program not yet start
ed. Originally, he said, $311,97O
was set up in the bond issue for
the Falls Church area sewers.
Plans Overdue.
Mr.. Corbalis said there will not
be enough revenue to supplement
the bond money for the Falls
Church sewers before 1854. He
said he still has not received
plans and specifications for the
Falls Church sewer program, al
though the Massey firm was sup
posed to have them ready last
June and was granted an ex-
tension to last January.
He presented a table SHOWING
delays in receiving plans on other
projects in the So million pro-
gram. He reminded the super
visors that contracts for the
engineering plans provide for a
$40 daily penalty If they are not
ready on time.
Nearly all the projects so far
have run far above estimates in
the bond issue when it was voted
In 1949. The biggest increase
was in the disposal plant. It is
costing $1.3 million, instead of
$783.0OO estimated in the bond
issue.
Mr.. Corbalis said the delays also
resulted in higher costs in his
Office.
Jett Urges Penalties.
Mr.. Corbalis said his Office had
granted extensions to the engi-
neering firm in cases where it
was felt reasonable, "but generally
speaking, it has been a very un-
happy situation"
I think the penalties ought to
be invoked" said Supervisor c. B.
Jet Of Lee district.
It was voted to have Mr.. Massey
appear on motion of Mrs. Anne
wilkins, supervisor from Falls
Church district.
The supervisors voted to have
a public hearing on April % on
proposed increases Of water and
sewer rates in sanitary district
No. 2, which is a small sanitary
district in the Accotink area,
About 80 residences are affected.
The proposed increases are from
$1.75 to $3.50 each in monthly
water and sewer rates.

What Happened To
Tomatoes This Year9

Delaware tomato growers har-
vested only so percent as much as
last year, and the average yield is
far below the high of 1851. Why?
Robert F. Stevens, horticulturist
of the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, gives his reasons. Some of
them are man-made factors, he
says, and could be corrected next
year.
A cold, wetspring delayed plant
ing. A dry July killed plants that
were poorly transplanted or on
poor soil. Wet weather in August
caused rotting and poor ripening.
Rain was poorly distributed over
the state.
Grey leaf spot was the worst
disease, Stevens thinks. Constant
spraying is necessary to control
grey spot, even in hot dry weather.
Many growers neglected spraying
in the dry spell. Virus diseases,
and fusarium and verticillium wilt
were also present.
Hornworms and potato bugs
= caused quite a bit of damage, be-
cause growers did not spray early
in the season, thinking the plants
would grow out of it. The dry
spell stopped that.
Tomatoes grown on soil where
manure and copper crops were used
did well. Early planted tomatoes
yielded more. AS to variety, Stew
ems observes that Garden State or

For the first time, Delaware's s

acceptance was made at a recent

Minimum requirements were at
least 100 herds on test, at least five

formation of our state board last
year, 124 herds on test, and six
testing circuits, we feel we are

Bulk Milk Handling
Coming to Delaware

Bulk handling of milk viii be
coming to Delaware in october.
This method is new to dairy farm
ing, but should be an Improvement
over the old "can method" of get
ting milk from the COW to the bot
tie.
Delmar ]. Young, dairy specialist
of the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, lists several reasons why he
is in favor of the bulk method.
First, having to transfer the
milk from tank to tank only elm
mates spillage losses. In the bulk
method-daily weights, butterfat,
sediment, and bacteria checks are
made at the farm. This gives the
farmer an easy way to keep rec
ords and check production. The
money angle enters in three ways:
one, savings on milk can buying,
replacement, and cleaning; two,
lower hauling rates. Third, there
is saving in electric bills because
milk is cooled directly, and the
electricity has to be on only when
the tank is being used.
Quality is improved, because
milk is cooled more quickly. Milk
is poured directly from the pail
into the tank, where it can be cool
ed within Is minutes after the
complete milking operation.
There are problems, too, Young
advises. The cost of equipment is
high at first, but it is repaid
through savings in two or three
years. Cleaning the tank is a
problem. Tank capacity is hard to
judge. Allowances should be made
for herd expansion. Refrigeration
units have to be kept in top work.

But generally, Young feels that
the new equipment is an asset to

Rats On M arch, City Warns

Reports of rats around town are again reaching the ears of city officials, who have issued another reminder to the public to "clean up".
 Bob Hedloff, city clerk, said this week that he has had several calls that rats are again being seen.
 Only isolated cases of Wells disease have occurred lately, Hedloff said but an increase in the rats can bring on ano- ther epidemic.
 The city maintains a perp- etual rat-baiting program, Hedloff added, but pointed out that if garbage is not cleaned up at all times, the rats will go to it, and not to the batting centers.
 Persons are urged to put their refuse in proper contain CTS, and the city garbage col lector will pick it up.
 Rat poison can be obtained from the city, the clerk said, and the police department is , available to show anyone how to use it, on request.
