In February a petition was
signed by more than $50 Morn
ingside citizens asking to be in

cided the move could not be

Water is only one of the towns
problems. Montgomery Morrow
chief Of the sanitation division,
Prince Georges County Health
Department, said the depart
ment has strongly advocated
installation, of a central sewer
system in Morningside. The
septic tank method Of disposal
now used, he said. is unsafe be-
cause of the non-absorptive ma
ture of the ground.
Mr.. Morrow said the depart
ment'S findings were based only
on improper sewage conditions
not the water situation.
Appeal to Annapolis.
The group also had appealed
to the county delegation at
Annapolis. Confident a few

Since that tragic day residents

There Is one fire hydrant to-

Fairfax Board Refuses
To Take Part in
Milk Price Fight

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors wants no part in the
fight against price regulating
powers of the Virginia Milk
Commission.
BY Stool vote the Super
viSorS yesterday turned down an
invitation to join with the Ar
lington County Board in carry
ing test case involving the
milk commission to the Supreme
Court. A similar invitation was
rejected by the Alexandria City
Council last week.
The question that Arlington
County plans to carry before the
Supreme Court Is whether the
Virginia Milk Commission is en-
titled to regulate the price of
milk bottled in Washington and
sold in northern Virginia.
Mrs. wilkins Opposed.
What Arlington really wants
is to do away with the milk
commission" said Supervisor
Maurice Fox, on whose motion
the invitation was rejected. The
only supervisor to vote against
his motion was Mrs. Anne Will
kinS.

Elmer Andrews, on the authority
and is entitled to a second, pro-
vlded the county becomes a par
ticipating member.
John w. Brookfield, chairman
of the independent Fairfax Park
Authority. said he opposed Fair
fax's participation in the re-
gional park group at the present
time. He said he feared Fairfax
would oe on the losing end f1nan-
cially, and at the same time
would have to provide all the
land for regional parks.
Advantage Seen.
Mrs. wilkins said she thought
1t would be an advantage rather
than a disadvantage to have
most of the regional parks in
Fairfax County.
Representatives of the regional
group. including it's chairman,
Matt Huppuch, urged the super
visors to participate. Another
member, Mrs. Florence Cannon
Of Arlington, said the individual
governing bodies would be asked
20 approve any bond issue the
park authority might recon-
mend to buy park land.
The supervisors agreed to meet
with the regional park group
representatives at later dateoto
discuss the situation further.
Field surveys for Sanitary
District Nos. 3 and 4 were au-
thorized by the supervisors in
preparation for the installation
of sewer systems to serve those
