Sanitary Commission
Lauded for Land Fill Job

The Maryland Department of
Health has complimented the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission for its land fill
operation at Fairland, Md.
George L. Hall, chief of the
State Health Departments Di-
vision of Sanitary Engineering,
told the commission in a letter
read at yesterdays meeting that
two State inspectors had visited
Fairland July 6.
Mr.. Hall wrote that the two
inspectors felt "any complaints
arising from the operation of
this sanitary land fill due to the
escape of odors, smoke, flies,
rodents or other nuisance con-
ditions would be entirely un-
justified"
Residents of the Fairland area
often have complained of con-
ditionS at the land fill.
The sanitary commission also
heard a report from it's chief
engineer, Harry B. Shaw, that
the huge S. million Rocky Gorge
Dam on the Patuxent River is
about two-thirds complete and
should be finished early in 1854.

Weight Dispute Spurs Study
Of Rockfish Spawning Habits

the last such study in Maryland

any conclusions were reached he
didn't know about them.
The researchers will place tiny
clips on rockf1sh in the bay.
With the aid of fish watchers in
other States they will trace the
species wherever it goes.

lists call it, and other research
is intended to pin down just
where and when rockfish spawn
and the effects of trying to catch
such succulent seafood in breed
ing areas.
State law now forbids CATCH

there's been considerable dis

What They Said Against County Fire Bill

About so persons turned out

County Council bill giving the
council tighter reins on volun-
teer flremen.
The speakers voiced unani-
nous opposition to the bill as
the council moved from its regu-
lar hearing room to the Circuit

audience.
Here is a rundown of opin-
ions voiced in the two-hour

ers will not be getting a fair
shake if the present tax limita-
tionS are lifted.

costly. Don't renege on princi-
Piles of the home rule movement.
Mrs. Ralph Gross, $500 York

the bill was prepared and passed
is most Objectionable. Call for a
referendum if you think there is
a real reason for enactment.
r. Edwin Brown, Upper Mont
gomery fire department-This
is as much a question of morale
and spirit as anything else. If
you are to set the tax rate. we
no longer need to hold our
carnivals, trap shoots and donkey
ball games.
James r. Miller, Cabin John
department - Departments have
different needs and problems.
They don't feel they should &C
count for their funds raised by
benefits.

This bill offers no improvement.
It's a distress to f1remen, who
have done a wonderful job.

RICHMOND, Va, July 29.-
The proposal for a toll road be-
tween Richmond and Petersburg
and passing partially through
those two citieS-had cleared a
big hurdle today. It had the
blessing of the State Highway
Commission.
The commission recommended
in a resolution yesterday that
the 1854 General Assembly Gre
ate a special authority to build
and operate such a turnpike, the
expresSway to be paid for from
tolls collected.
Suggested was a 36-mile, $57-
million route from a point just
north of Richmond to a point
just south of Petersburg.
It was something of an about
Dace for the highway commission,
which previously had taken the
stand that if a turnpike author
ity was set up in Virginia, that
authority should be the highway
commission itself.
This official sanction of the
highway commission will no
doubt have much weight when
the legislature comes to consider
whether to create a turnpike
authority for this specific road or
whether to build toll roads at all
or not.
Viewed With Distrust.
Toll roads have been viewed
with reserve and even distrust
in Virginia, which by tradition
believes in pay-as-you-go gen.
orally for public expenditures,
and pay-as-you-go particularly
for highways.
A compromise to this tradi-
tional policy was made some
years ago, however, when the
General Assembly passed a re-
venue bond act under which was
purchased the James River

Also, the highway department
has plans for further construc-
ton under this revenue bond act
of 1910, of the Rappahannock
River Bridge between White
stone and Grey's Point and the
Hampton Roads bridge-tunnel.
All of these products are to be
paid for from tolls.
The Richmond-P Petersburg toll
road was first recommended by

Opposition from motel oper-
ators is energetic. They forsee

also working on another study,
the feasibility of a toll road in
the area of Virginia south of

pected to be ready shortly.
Toll roads have been suggested
elsewhere in Virginia. Some
time ago it was proposed that a
5000 million toll road be built
from Washington the North
Carolina line, paralleling U. S.
/ and bypassing Richmond,
Petersburg and other cities
along the way.
The road was to be built with
private money under revenue
bonds. But the highway COM
mission turned thumbs down on

Writ 10 Block
Board Suits by
Green Denied
Arlington School
Attorneys Indicate
Supreme Court Move
By WiIIiom J. EIvin

Arlington School Board attor-
neys are planning another at
tempt to block further suits by
John Locke Green, after receiv-
ing a setback yesterday.
Circuit Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy denied a petition by
board attorneys for a temporary
injunction restraining Mr.. Green
from bringing further action
against three Federal employees
on the board.
School Board Attorneys James
II. Simmonds and ArmiStead L.
Boothe noted an exception. They
indicated they plan to take their
plea for a temporary injunction
to a judge of the State Supreme
Court.
To Hear Arguments.
Judge Mccarthy said the board
attorneys could argue their plea
for a permanent restraining Or
der as soon as all parties are
prepared for argument. He said
this could be considered in con-
junction with hearing Of Mr..
Green's latest suit to GUST the
Federal employees on the board.
Mr.. Simmonds and Mr.. Boothe
contended that the new suit
brought by Mr.. Green in behalf
of Miles Spence Bray contains
nothing new. The arguments
presented, the School Board at
torneys said, were ruled on by
the Supreme Court in June and
July when it ruled twice against
Mr.. Green.
Mr.. Simmonds said that the
latest suit is holding up sale of
school bonds ordered by Circuit
Court after a referendum.
Forecast Reversal.
Mr.. Green and Charles Pickett,
Fairfax attorney who is associ-
ated with him in the case, said
the Supreme Court was misled
into believing the three board
members are minor employees of
the Federal Government.
They contended the Supreme
Court would reverse it's June
decision if evidence were pre-
sented showing that the three
board members hold high. policy
making positions in the Federal
service.
Judge Mccarthy said he had
"a great deal of sympathy" with
the school board attorneys view.
He said the requested injunction
might be granted after hearing
of Mr.. Green's latest suit against
the Federal employees. He de-
clined to grant a temporary re-
Straining order before hearing
the suit on its merits, however.
