Sanitary Commission
Regarded as Model
System, Ray Says

"The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission has been
held up as a model py the Amer
lean Water Works Association, !"
according to L. S. (Ted) Ray,
one of the three members Of the
commission.
He said that when foreign en-
gineers come to America to learn
about water and sewer systems,
"the association always sends
them to us"
Mr.. Ray made his statement
in commenting yesterday on an
article appearing in the Sunday
Star as the first Of a series on
the nearby Maryland utility.
He contended that the first
article did not properly explain
the increase the commission de-
creed two months ago in the
tront-foot benefit rates to be paid
by owners of property where wa
ter and sewer lines were installed
last year.
ascent Rate.
The rate which will apply for
installations made last year is
Is cents for each front foot of
lot for water and IS cents for
sewer. The Star enormously
implied that property owners
receiving such services last year
will have to pay the assessment
for 40 years based on the length
of the bonds required to finance
last years projects.
Mr.. Ray pointed out that the
bonds for last years installations
are 30-year, instead of the 40
year bonds hoated for that pur-
pose in recent years.
That's the reason the front
foot benefit charge had to be
raised" he said. In the long
run, the cost will be lower to the
property owner"
Mr.. Ray said The Star was
taking up the cause of the
charterites when it said that the
commission decided to levy new
sewage charge and raise its
refuse collection, incinerator and
front-foot benefit charges with
out a public hearing. He said
q public hearing wasn't neceS-
sary because the public already
knew the sewage charge was
coming since it had been au-
thorized by the 1851 Legislature.

honestly involved. They merely
say that no one can tell.
They say they found general
accounting procedures to be un-
satisfactory and out-of-date
Property records, in particular
they said, were totally made
quate and poorly kept"
The New York engineering
consultant firm of Ford. Bacon
& Davis said in its report to the
commission early this year:
"The necessary accounting de-
tail was in such poor condition
that the regular accountants
who had audited the books for
several years in the past were
apparently not able to produce
an annual audit report for the
year 1851 until late December,
1852 and even this audit is
considered incomplete. :"
"One-Man System"
The report attributed what it
called "the irregular practices of
accounting procedure" to an "au-
tonomouS one-man system" in
herited by the present Republi-
can commission when it took
Office in June, 1851.
The present commission con-
tends that all the unsound and
antiquated accounting practices
uncovered by the experts are
being corrected. For the past
year a firm of Independent ac-
countants - Boyce, Hughes &,
Farrell, also of New York-has
been helping the commission
with a general financial house
cleaning.
The Ford, Bacon & Davis re-
port, noting that the admins
trative organization of the COM
mission has not kept pace with
it's tremendous growth in the sc
years of its existence, made sew
eral recommendations, including
the appointment of a general
manager. The commission has
said frequently that it is at
tempting to hire such a manager
and carry out all the other
recommendations made by the
New York firm.
Manager Urged.
The engineering consultants
said the commission operating
as a body is not capable of per-
forming the day-to-day duty OF
management and should delegate
this work to a single, well-trained
and experienced individual to act
as a general manager"

Tangled Commission Records
Revealed in Experts Report
Inadequate Accounting Procedure
Hit in Study Of Sanitary Group

The thTee-man commission
now meets every Tuesday and
Thursday afternoon. Commis-
sion Chairman Raymond w. Bel
lamy says. however. that al
though he is paid for a part-time
job he finds it necessary to de-
vote full time to his duties.
The commissioners are finding
that experienced general mana
gers come high. The general
manager Of a comparable but
somewhat larger public utility
authority in New York receives a
salary of more than $4,000. they
have found.
The commissioners obviously
are concerned about whether the
public would stand for paying
$25, ZOO or $4,000 to a general
manager and continuing to pay
a total of $4,000 in salaries to
the three commissioners and
their secretary treasurer. all poll
tical appointees.
Argued for Increase.
The argument put forth when
Republican legislators pushed
through an $500 pay increase for
each of the three commissioners
in the recent Maryland General
Assembly was that the commits
SionerS have to shoulder a great
er responsibility now than in
the past.
The engineering and financial
experts contend a general man
ager would save the commission
more than his salary each year.
They point out that the COM
mission has emerged from a
small county water supply and
sewer system serving 80 square
miles in 1918 to a full l-fledged op-
Grating utility serving almost
100000 people in a 2O0-square
mile area. When the commits
sion was founded, they add, it
had two trucks and "a employees.
Today it operates a fleet of al
most 300 vehicles and employs
about 1,400 people.
In the words of Mr.. Bellamy,
the sanitary commission today is
a 500 million institution.
Stress Bookkeeping.
Virtually all of the recommen-
dations made by Ford. Bacon &
Davis are concerned with ac-
counting methods, property rec
ords, bookkeeping and handling
Of money. The firm said the
planning, engineering and con-
struction of facilities in the
sanitary district appear to have
been well DONE" It added that
the condition of commission
property, with few exceptions,
appears to be satisfactory and
in excellent operating condition. -
One proposed change the COM
missioners thought up them
selves without the help of their
New York consultants is the
hiring of a public relations man.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, June

The fountain was included four

4, Reporter Bowed Out.
The commission hired a Wash
ington newspaper reporter as a
part-time public relations man
during the to-do over the rate
increases. but he refused to
stay on.
On the advice of this part
time man, the commission did
reverse long-standing policy and
throw open at least part of its
Tuesday and Thursday meetings
to the press. The public still is
not admitted, however, and re-
porters usually have to wait in
an outer Office one to three hours
after meetings begin before they
are let in.
The commissions relations
with the press hit a new low
when the rate increases were de-
cided on April 16. That was done
in a secret meeting after Com
missioner L. S. (Ted) Ray told
waiting reporters:
I'VE have a lot of business to
transact lot of little things
that wouldn't interest you"
Tight-Lipped.
Although the commission ap-
parently is beginning to realize
that the public has a right to
know what is happening to the
thousands of dollars it pays into
the agency, reporters still have
a difficult time obtaining infor-
nation OH the day-to-day opera
tions of the utility.
This reporter. for example,
never was able to obtain a copy
Of the Ford, Bacon & Davis re-
port from the commission. James
B. Parkhill, the secretary-treas-
urer. first tried to fend off the
request with replies such as,
cts too technical for you to
understand" or, "It won't tell
you anything you don't already
know" Finally. he conceded that
he had some copies in the vault
but couldn't give them out with
out authorization of the commits
sion itself. When the commission
was asked for this authorization,
Mr.. Ray said copies of the re-
port were in short supply and
therefore he would have to turn
down the request.

Community Project
Costing $40 Million
Planned in County
THE EVENING STAR
~ Washington, D. G.
FRIDAY. MAY 3, 1883

A 455-acre rural planned COM
munity, believed to be the lafg-
est in the area. is proposed on
Landover road in Prince Georges
County. the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission disclosed yesterday.
The commission yesterday
recommended that the county
commissioners approve rezoning
from rural residential to the
community classification of the
huge tract. A hearing is set for
May 20 on the rezoning appli-
cation.
Known as Palmer Park.
The community is slated for
development on a triangular tract
bounded by Landover road.
George Palmer highway and
Sheriff road, about two miles
east of the Peace Cross.
Plans for the community prof.
ect, known as Palmer Park, are
being prepared by Fred w.
Tuemmler Associates, community
planning and development con-
consultants here.
When completed. Palmer Park
is to have 5000 family dwelling
units. More than $500 will be
of the garden-type apartments.
Some 600 will be in triple
detached homes. another TOO in
semi-detached houses, and the
remaining 162 in detached hcmes.
Mr.. Tuemmler said the re-
zoning application was fled by
T. A. Turner, a builder with
Offices in Brentwood, Md. He
said the development is being
backed by st. Paul-Minneapolis
group.
About $40 Million.
A spokesman for the group
said the project would take about
four years to complete and
could cost about $40 million"
The plans call for the reserva-
ton of land for two schools
within the community and So
acres for recreation areas and
parks.
Some IS acres are reserved for
two commercial areas.
Mr.. Tuemmler said some Of
the units will be Of a cooperative
ownership type.
This is the second planned
rural community drawn up by
Mr.. Tuemmler. The first was
