Loses court Fight
To Lift Water Ban

A petition for an Injunction
to restrain Alexandria city off,
cials and the Alexandria Water
Co. from imposing an emergency
water ban against a car-wash
firm was dismissed yesterday.
Alexandria Corporation Court
Judge William P. Woolls sent
copies of his opinion to attorneys
after having studied arguments
from the day before.
The temporary injunction had
been sought by the Alexandria
Minute Men Car Wash, Inc,
which contended it was being
driven out of business because
it wholly depended on water to
operate.
Judge WoollS, in his opinion,
said there was undisputed testi-
mony from Howard Richards,
manager of the Alexandria
Water Co.; DR.. Thomas Nc
Cough, city health officer, and
Fire Chief Bernard Padgett that
an emergency did exist because
Of the water shortage.
The. three had testified there
was danger Of contamination, of
an insufficient supply to fight
fire and of exhausting the supply
for essential home use unless the
ban were imposed.
The Judge denied the petition
er'sl contention that the ordi-
nance is constitutional, He
conceded there is some room for
debate over the provisions of the
ordinance, but indicated the au-
tomobile laundry could appeal to
the City Council for revision and
relief.
