543Let Out on Parole,
Maryland Board Says
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. Jan. 3.-The
State Department of Parole and
Probation reported yesterday 543
prisoners were released on parole
from Maryland's penal institu-
tions in 1852.
The Evening Sun said a check
of newspaper files showed only
174 paroles announced publicly by
the Governors Office during the
year.
The Governors Office releases
lists of paroled prisoners from
time to time, affording a public
announcement of paroles. The list
is drawn up by the Department of
Parole and Probation. The Sun
papers regularly print all the lists
they receive.
The only other source of parole
information open to the public is
"a once-a-month hearing held by
A. Earl Shipley, director of parole
and probation. at his Office in
Baltimore. The only cases which
come up at these hearings are
those for prisoners with two years
or less to serve.
Prisoners serving longer terms
are interviewed at the penal insti-
tutions by the director. Enos S.
Stockbridge, chairman Of the
Board of Correction, has issued
an executive order barring news
men from such interviews.

Fixing of a new sewer usage

expected "in the near future" the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission said today.
In q prepared statement the
commission said the rate would

The agreement is in it's final
drafting stage and should be in
the commissions hands in q week
|or 10 days. Young j. Wright.
superintendent of the District
Sewer Division. said today.
Under terms of the agreement,
the commission win pay the entire
|cost OF constructing a trunk sewer
running from its Bladensburg
disposal plant to Anacostia ave-
niue just north of Bladensburg
road. From there the line will
run to the Districts disposal plant
lat Blue Plains, but Maryland will
lpay only a proportionate share of
this cost.
Study Near Completion.
The commission also will base
the new charge on the cost of 9TH
er projected trunk sewer and sew
age pumping station construction.
A study of these plans should be
completed within q week, the com.
mission said.
The fee. when established, will
be made retroactive to January 1.
The commission contends it will
not be an "extra charge"
At present the cost of construct
ing trunk sewers and other major
sewerage works is borne by front
foot benefit charges and a Scent
ad valorem tax tagged for retiring
general construction bonds.
The commission said it feels this
is an unfair method of paying for
major sewer projects since-in
many cases, a land owner is as
Isessed for improvements he never
uses which abut his property.
At present the cost of maintain

THAT the water consumption

making no such promises. I
Harry B. Shaw. chief engineer
for the commission, said the
agency's expansion program-in-
lcluding construction of the new
Rocky Gorge reservoir on the Pa

lcuts.
Mr.. Shaw. however. said the
front foot benefit assessment for
future trunk sewer construction
Twill be abolished.
The commission said 1t feels the
establishment of the sewer usage

major construction over q longer
period with present and future
