fluorine content runs from l tenth
to 3 tenths parts per million.
Hagerstown now is adding flourine
to its water supply, bringing the
total content up to between one
and one and 2 tenths parts per
million.
Two Sources at Hagerstown.
Hagerstown has two sources Of
water supply-the Potomac and
two mountain streams east Of
the city. These mountain streams
also contain about the same
amount of natural huorine as does
the Potomac.
N. s. Chapman, chemist at the
HagerStown water plant, said
daily tests are run to determine
the fluorine content Of the river
water.
He said the fluorine varies with
high water, indicating that the
amount Of fluorine going into the
stream is constant. Chemists have
not found the source, but have
indicated that it may come from
natural deposits.
Mr.. Chapman said Hagerstown
has been adding fluorine to it's
water supply since last December.
The fact that both the Potomac
and the mountain streams con-
tain the element was discovered

|FIuorine Is Found in Potomac,
But Not Enoughto Be Dental Aid

The Potomac River contains
fluorine, but not ips the amounts
which some scientists say are
needed to prevent tooth decay
among the Districts children.
According to engineers at the
Washington Aqueduct. the raw
Potomac water contains about one
tenth Of one part Of fluorine per
million parts Of water. About /
part per million Is considered the
optimum dose for drinking water.
Much over / and 2 tenths part
per million is liable to cause
mottling of teeth.
j. c. Smith. assistant engineer
of the water supply division, said
probably about nine tenths part
per million Of fluorine will be add
ed to WaShington's drinking
water.
Work To Start In Mid June.
Fluoridation is expected to begin
about the middle of June, after all
equipment has been received and
installed.
The drinking water at both La
Plata and Indian Head, Md,
which does not come from the Po-
tomac, contains sufficient fluorine
so that no additions are necessary,
MIR. Smith said. In these two areas,
he said. the fiuorine content runs

Objections Center on
CIGARETTE Sales Tax

There were about as many bou-
quets as brickbats at the Alex
andria budget hearing last night.
The handful of citizens that did
appear to oppose 1952-53 budget
proposals were polite and orderly
with their objections. Most of
the dozen citizens who spoke OBJ
jected to the proposed 2-cent-a-
pack tax on cigarettes. No. one
objected to a proposed 15-cent
increase in the real estate tax
rate.
Spokesman against the sales
tax included Clinton Knight, Irwin
Hufford and Max Spray, of the
Retail Merchants Association: d.
C. Book, of the Chamber of Com
merce; David w. Bell. of Peoples
Drug Stores, and w. H. Bell, to-
bacco wholesaler. Other objec-
tions came from the Alexandria
Businessmen's Association and the
Cooperative Grocery Store in
Harrington.
Warns Of Sales Decline.
Mr.. Knight said the cigarette
tax would hurt business. He said
sales went down when the same
tax was tried in Alexandria two
years ago.
Mr.. Bell said sales figures in
his stores showed that sales
dropped of when the cigarette
tax was imposed previously.
Councilman Marshall j. Bever-
ley said he will vote against the
sales tax. He said he favors re-
ductions in the budget. Council
man Leroy s. Bendheim also has
said the cigarette tax Is unneces-
Sary.
Mrs. John Maury Of the Old
Town Civic Association urged ad-
dition Of $29. 900 to, the budget
for improving the Potomac View
Playground. She said the Council
had voted to make the improve
mentS. City officials said they
believed the money can come
from the latest bond issue and
promised to study her recon-
mendation.
Welfare Cuts Opposed.
A letter from the Community
Welfare Council asked that no
cuts be made from Welfare De-
partment budget.
DR.. Colin McRae of the Board
Of Health urged retention of the
Health Department budget as pro-
posed.
Mrs. Martha Pfeiffer of the
League of Women Voters said she
could not find any grant to the
alexandria Hospital in the budget.
Councilman Albert A. Smoot
said a hospital committee appoint
ed by the council and the hospital
board had not gotten its figures
together in time for the budget
printing. He said a grant will be
considered before the final budget
figure is adopted.
Mayor Franklin P. Backus said
the recommendations heard at the
budget hearing will be considered
by the council, and a final draft
of the budget will be advertised
for another public hearing next

yesterdays election was about the
same as that in previous bond
elections.
Among the precincts against the
proposal were the older communi-
ties Of Clarendon, Rosslyn and

September, 1854.

Prince Georges Holds
Final Public Hearinq
On Home Rule Plan

Mass oratory ended in Suitland
High School last night when
Prince Georges county commits
sioners closed the third and final
public hearing on the controver-
sial home rule plan.
Prince Georges is now the only
political subdivision Immediately
adjacent to Washington which
does not have home rule.
About half of the 81 persons in
the schools gymnasium spoke on
the proposal to replace the COM
with a policy-making
council who would turn over ad-
ministration to a professional
manager.
Commissioners Say Little.
The commissioners said virtual
ly nothing. They do not like the
idea. Neither do most Democratic
and Republican leaders.
Nevertheless. the Citizens Com
mittee for Good Government,
spearheading the home rule drive,
continued to canvass for 10000
signatures on charter petition,
When that objective is reached,
another 10000 signatures will be
sought, 1000 for each of five per-
sons on a charter board slate.
A favorable vote for the charter
board at the November election
would authorize preparation of a
charter which would be finally
voted on in November 1854.
Arguments for and against
home rule-major recommended
ton in a report of a recent gov
Survey-were for the
most part reiterations of those
heard at previous hearings.
WOmen's League Stand.
Mrs. William H. Wood, presi-
dent of the county League of
Women Voters. told the commits
sioners that her unit will actively
support the county manager plan
when the time is appropriate" "
That means, she explained, when
a charter board has been elected.
Hitherto, the league has favored
a home rule charter, but has been
silent on the county manager pro-
posal of the survey recommended
tionS.
The county civic federation, on
record for a charter, has net yet
subscribed to the manager sug-
gestion. The organization was
not represented on the floor last
night.
Montgomery Gifted.
Edwin A. Glenn, president OF
the county Republican Club, chal-
lenged the wisdom Of arbitrary
governmental changes. He said
Montgomery County adopted home
rule after q 14-year fight and
added
"If citizens Of that county voted
on the plan now, 1t would be de-
feated 10 to l."
Alexandrians. too. are sick and
tired Of home rule and would vote
so to l against it, Mr.. Glenn de-
clared.
Mrs. Zella Saylor. president Of
the Adelphi Citizens Association
said home rule would be '"in line
with good Maryland tradition"
and would constitute democratic
procedure.
