Fairfax Heads
Indorse County
Sewer Project
Plan Bond Issue
To Finance First
Such Program

Preparation Of Fairfax County's
first countrywide sewer program
and a bond issue to finance it
has been authorized by the
Board of Supervisors.
On recommendation Of County
Executive C. c. Massey. the SUI
pervisors yesterday instructed
Sanitary Engineer James j. Cor
balls, jr.. to postpone further ac-
ton on individual sewer projects
for As days. During that time,
he is to plan a county wide
sewer program and work out de-
tails Of a bond issue to finance it.
The bond issue would be sub
mitted to the entire county for
approval, but it would be paid off
solely from service charges.
Residents not served by sewers
would not have to pay anything
toward retiring the issue.
Preparation of the county
wide program was made possible
by the creation of department
Of public works last month. Mr..
Massey is director Of the new
department, together with his
duties as county executive. Mr..
Corbalis is in charge of the
sanitation division.
To Continue Individual Plan.
When the supervisors set up
the public works department,
however. they instructed Mr..
Corbalis to continue planning
individual sewer projects for sep
arate sanitary districts. That
had been the only method avail
able to the county in the past
for providing sewer facilities.
Under the sanitary district plan.
sewer projects were planned for
specific areas without particu-
lar attention to possible incor-
poration into a countrywide sew
er program. The separate sani-
tary districts voted on separate
bond issues.
A special commission appoint
ed by the supervisors to study
the sewer situation recon-
mended abandonment of the
sanitary district plan and crea-
ton of an authority. The su-
pervisors rejected the authority
idea, and set up the public works
department as an alternative.
Mr.. Corbalis thanked the SUI
pervisors yesterday for their in
structions to hold up further
planning of individual sewer pro-
grams while a countrywide plan
is prepared. He previously had
urged them to decide promptly
whether the county should pro-
ceed with a unified sewer pro-
gram or with many small inde-
pendent systems.
Fire Prevention Code.
The supervisors voted to ad-
vertise the county's first fire pre-
vention code for a public hear
ing February II. A fire marshal
would be employed to enforce the
new code. He would have au-
thority to determine what condi-
tions constitute fire hazards, and
could order the conditions cor
rected. A five-member appeals
board would hear appeals from
the fire marshal's decisions.
The ordinance also sets forth
specific regulations about inflam-
mable materials, building exits,
chimney and smokestack main
tenance and other possible fire
sources. Fines Of $5 to $500 could
be imposed for violation of the
ordinance. A committee Of the
county's fire commission pre-
pared the ordinance.

Alexandra Factions
Increase Tempo in
zoning Change Issue

The battle over proposed zon-
ing changes in Alexandria s
charter was in full swing today
as both sides warmed up for
Tuesdays primary.
The question before the voters
in the primary is whether the
charter should be amended so a
majority vote of council can
override a negative recommend
alton of the planning commits
sion. At present, a three quar-
ters vote of council is required
to upset the planning commits
sion's decision IN such cases.
Tempo of the controversy was
stepped up yesterday with these
developments:
/. About $50 spectators packed
meeting of the Old Town Civic
Association to hear Albert A.
Smoot, former councilman. speak
his piece against the proposed
change, .v
2. About so proponents Of the
change announced the formation
of a citizens committee for rep
resentative government to fight
for elimination of the three
fourthS rule.
Smoot Traces Situation.
Urging his listeners to vote
against the change, Mr.. Smoot
accused his foes of "clouding
the issue" with talk of repre-
sentative government. He said
the city had experienced a bad
zoning situation about 10 years
ago, when a majority vote OF
council, was permitted to de-
eide any zoning request. That
policy was abandoned and the
three-fourths' vote requirement
was incorporated in the new
city charter three years ago. Mr.
Smoot recalled that there was nc
opposition to the three -fourths
vote when it was put in the
charter. He declared that the
zoning situation had improved
since it was adopted.
Two of three candidates fo1
city council also spoke in be-
half Of the three-fourths vote
rule. They were Daniel Fairfax
O'Flaherty and M. Edwin Bar
rett. Two third candidate
James P. Luckett, jr., sent a
letter stating he was opposed
to the three-fourths rule be-
cause he considered it unneces-
sary. The three are candidates
for one vacancy on the city
council to be filled in a special
election Tuesday simultaneously
with the charter referendum.
The new Citizens Committee
for Representative Government
is headed by Harry w. Bendall,
ST., Alexandria businessman.
Others listed as members in
clude Edward S. Holland, Ralph
H. Boyle. ST.: D. c. Book, Charles
L. Mason, Mayor Marshall j.
Beverley. D. w. Duke. Joseph
Pancoast. Robert v. H. Duncan
and Councilman John Ewald.
Holland Explains Stand.
Mr.. Holland was q member of
the charter commission which
included the three-fourthS rule
in the charter. He said he be-
'lieved in the principle Of the
three-fourths rule at the time 1t
was put in the charter, but he
believed subsequent experience
has shown that it was employed
by small, organized minorities to
retard development of the city
particularly in the annexed area.
Mr.. Holland declared the spot
zoning was eliminated by other
sections Of the charter. He
pointed out that the referendum
would not affect a section Of the
charter which requires q three
fourths vote Of council to grant
a zoning application when 20 per
cent Of the adjacent property
owners object.

Ii. Governor
Post Proposed
For Maryland.
Montgomery Group
Considering Action to
Create New Office
3, 9 s,etf cerr..pene.ni Il rhe sto,

BY q Stoff Correspondent 1T The Stov
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. The
Montgomery County delegation
to the Maryland General AS.
sembly is considering q consti-
tutional amendment to establish
an Office of Lieutenant Governor
in Maryland.
That was one of several pro.
posals listed in a tentative
agenda drawn up by the dele.
cation in a meeting yesterday.
The proposal for bill to pro.
vide for election of a Lieutenant
Governor was thrown on the
table by Mrs. Kathryn j. Law
lor, newly appointed delegate in
the all-Republican delegation.
She pointed out that tho
Maryland constitution now pro-
vides that, in the case of the
death. removal or resignation Of
the Governor. the president of
the Senate becomes acting Gov
ernor until the next election. or
until the Legislature can meet
and name an acting Governor.
The Montgomery delegation,
which reelected Delegate j.
Douglas Bradshaw as chairman,
will decide in later sessions
whether to introduce the Lieu
tenant-Governor bill and others
placed on its agenda.
Other Measures Listed.
Some of the other measures
listed for later consideration
would:
/. Establish a nonpartisan
primary for election to the
county school board and amend
the constitution to allow stag.
gered terms on the school board.
2. Allow counties to regulate
truck weights on county roads.
as the State Roads Commission
does for State roads.
3. Require all State agencies
to comply with Montgomery
County laws and regulations on
road standards, coming. building
restrictions, and the like.
The third proposal also came
from Mrs. Lawlor. who served
on the County Council before
her appointment to the delega-
ton last month. It grows out
of the recent refusal of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission to conform to the
county road code in construc-
ton of relocated Cedar Lane
Bridge over the Patuxent River
near the New Rocky Gorge Dam.
The sanitary commission plans
to build the bridge "a feet wide.
The county road code requires
26 feet. @
Sanitary Commission Proposal.
Another possible bill placed on
the delegation agenda would call
for reorganization of the sani-
tary commission. with the
transfer of its control from the
governing bodies of Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties.
Mr.. Bradshaw suggested the
delegation consider drawing up
a bill to control billboards along
side roads.
Several other previously an
nounced legislative proposals.
which the delegation definitely
will introduce also were listed on
the delegation agenda. These
include bills to-:
l. Require regular inspection
Of automobiles.
2. Allow counties and Baltit-
more City to place re-assess-
ments on the books every year,
under the new State law going
into effect next year establish
ing a three-year cycle Of re-
assessments to replace the pres
ent f1ve-year cycle.
3. Abolish the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and transfer
its functions to the County
Council.
4. Provide for a third Circuit
Court Judge for Montgomery.
5. Repeal the Lindsay law to
allow nonpartisan elections to
the County Council.
