Court Expected to Rule Today
In Support of Car Wash Ban

Alexandria Corporation Court
was expected to rule today on
whether the city's emergency
water ban can be enforced
against a car-wash firm, which
depends solely on water to re-
main in business.
After a two-and-a-half- hour
hearing, Judge William P Woolls
indicated yesterday that he
probably would deny the tenn
porary injunction sought by
Alexandria Minute Man Car
Wash, Inc, to restrain the city
and the Alexandria Water Co.
from continuing the prohibition
against it.
The issue practically became
moot, however. when an order
passed yesterday by the State
Corporation Commission was
read to the court by Attorney
Armistead Boothe, representing
Alexandria Water Co. and its
subsidiary, the Virginia Water
Co.
Declares an Emergency.
The new order declared an
emergency exists because of the
drought and ordered the two
firms to forthwith impose and
strictly enforce until further Or
der of the commission rules and
regulations which shall effec-
lively prohibit the use by any
customers +. of water for
any but essential purposes. :"
The three-day legal notice was
to be published the first time
today.

resenting the automobile laun-
dry said the commissions order,
in itself, is not final but is nearly
so because the company now has
only to take the steps directed

ties cited in the arguments, but
he added, IT do not believe you
have any grounds for injunctive
relief"
Shortly before that, Mr.. Thorn
son sought to simplify a de-
tailed bill of particulars by stat
ing:
1.-THE question before the court
is whether a city official Getty
Manager Ira F. WillarO can, by
his Interpretation of an ordi-
nance. put a man out of busi-
ness"
Others Affected.
Mr.. Boothe denied that one
type of business was singled out
by the ban. He said garages,
filling stations and automobile
dealers also are prohibited from
washing cars. In responding to
other arguments raised, he said
the two city swimming pools do

depends for it's supply on its own

The auto laundry needs about

fed.
Howard Richards, manager OF
the Alexandria Water Co. said
that, when the daily demand on
the two companies exceeds Ia

voirs, standpipes and tanks In

mortal Temple, was down to Z
