City Officials Back
Plan 10 Separate
7 Sewer Systems

A proposal that the Districts
combined stormwater and sani-
tary sewer system, should be
turned into separate lines for the
two types of drainage received
the ready Endorsement Of city
government ofiicials.
But. authorities asked where
will the money for the change
come from?
Even the Interstate Commits
sion on the Potomac River
Basin. which made the rec
ommendation. acknowledged in
its report just released, it would
be . "long and costly project" +"
The Commission gave its own
estimate Of the job as perhaps
more than 500 million"
David v. Aud, District Di-
rector Of Sanitary Engineering
and a Commission member, said
he believes that the total cost
would be more like several
times" the Commission figure.
1.4OO Miles of Lines.
T OF the city's approximately
l 400 miles Of sewer lines. nearly
half is the combined type. Most
Of these lie in the older built-up
sections, such as the downtown
area.
To separate the sanitary flow
from the stormwater. Mr.. Auld
said. would mean installing
separate lines to carry of rain
water from every building now
served by sewers carrying COM
bined rain and sanitary flows.
New sewer mains paralleling
existing ones would have to be
built to carry one or the other
of the segregated flows. This
would entail major construction
through some Of Washington's
most populous and heavily trav-
eled areas. Mr.. Auld said.
The sewage "divorcement." as
it Is known. would be executed
and paid for entirely by the city,
the engineering director added.
Combined sewers are designed
to receive three or four times the

volume Of sewage normally car.
ried in dry weather. Frequently.
however. during heavy rains the
stormwater volume becomes so
great that the overcapacity has
to be taken off by relief sewers.
The relief mains empty into
Washington's rivers and creeks.
Since the overflow contains sani.
tary sewage as we'll as rainwater.
washington waters get that
much more polluted.
The Commission pointed out
that there are 70 drainage relief
outlets Of this nature distributed
along the sewer system as fol-
lows: Potomac River, IL; WASH
ington Channel. 10; Anacostia
River. 18; Piney Branch, four,
and little Rock Creek. the lar.
gest number of all. %.
Overflow Relief System.
While the commission has
been unable to determine the
volume of this excess flow or
the frequency with which the
relief sewers automatically go
into service. it has concluded
that with little or no rain WASH
ington's sewers overflow into
the relief system.
The advisory body criticized
the District supervision of its
relief sewers in the same report:
There is unmistakable evi-
dence that some of the relief
sewers have remained open (to
receive sewage flow) and over
extended periods have discharged
raw sewage which should nor
mally be carried to the sewage
treatment plant"
1t was noted, however, that in
recent months the Sanitary En-
gineering Department has been
checking more closely on such
accidental sewage discharges.
Ten relief sewer intake points
needed corrective work in 1851.
The number since has been re-
duced to two. one of which lines
discharges at the Water Gate,
the other at Twenty-seventh and
G streets NV.
To get these two lines func.
tioning properly would cost
about $4,000. according to the
Commission. District sewer au-
thorities are currently studying
these lines, which have a total
discharge rate Of II million gal.

ately to provide funds for a
relief sewer along the Anacostia
so that proposed discharge of
raw sewage at East Capitol
street can be eliminated.
Z. A routine inspection and
maintenance schedule COM
bined District sewer system and
relief points is needed to pre-
vent dry weather discharge of
sewage directly into Rock
Greek and the Potomac River.
At two relief points where re-
construction is necessary, i'm
mediate action should be taken
to make the necessary correc-
tions.
8. All industries in the area
should be made to connect to
sewer systems as soon as pos
sible, and those industries
whose wastes may injure sani-
tary treatment facilities should
be required to provide partial
pretreatmer1t. All sand and
gravel washeries should be
made to provide settlement
facilities to remove tn rbidity
before wastes are discharged
into the river.
10. A long-range plan for the
development of water and
sewage facilities in the Me-
tropolitan area is needed.
II. A long-range plan for the
elimination Of all combined
storm and sanitary sewers, is
needed This applies particu-
larly to the District and to
portions Of Alexandria.
II. The control of soil erosion
throughout the Potomac water
shed should be encouraged.
This would reduce the silt load
of the river.
13.A concentrated effort
should be made to control the
pollution from commercial and
provate vessels and from
houseboats. This problem
might be solved by the use of
retention tanks on all boats.
These tanks would be emptied
into dockside sewer lines when
boats are in port.

The pollution report had its
origin more than 18 months
ago when special group was
appointed to make a compre-
hensive study of the problem.
Members of the committee were
Mark D. Hollis of the Public
Health Service, Virginia State
Senator John A. K. Donovan of
Falls Church, Maryland State
Senator John r. Fletcher of
Prince Georges County and DR..
Daniel L. Seckinger, District
health director.

House District Committees, and
to other members of Congress
from the Potomac River States.
Also to the officials of the Dis
trict and to the States which
comprise the commission-Vir-
ginia. Maryland. Pennsylvania
and West Virginia.
The idea of the commission
in ordering the study was that
a factual exposition of the bad
conditions would cause Congress
and other public governing
bodies to do something about
| them.

RecreotionoI Areas Mapped
For CIeon-River Development

Long-standing proposals for
developing extensive recreation
areas along both sides Of the
Potomac River rely heavily on
the speed Of pollution abatement
in the Washington area.
This was stressed by the Poto-
mac Interstate Commission in
q section of its. pollution report
dealing with river-front improve
mentS.
Such proposals long have been
envisioned by the Corps of Engi-
neers, National Capital Parks
officials and the National Capital
Planning Commission, both to
enhance recreational facilities
and to make for better COM
mercial uses.
Officials have held, however,
that a dirty river can't be de-
veloped to its full potential.
While the river now is mainly
a sewage disposal stream, it also
is used for commerce and to a
lesser degree for recreation. The
District receives its water supply
from the Potomac, but above the
metropolitan polluted area.
This is the way the Interstate
Commission envisioned the rec
reation development.

Kansas City Man Gets Job
Vacated by Miss Hoey
BY the Assoeioted Press

Jay L. Roney of Kansas City,
former director of public well
fare of South Dakota, was ap-
pointed director of the Bureau of
Public Assistance of the Social
Security Administration yester-
day.
Secretary of Welfare Hobby
said Mr.. Roney is being pro-
NOTED from the $8,760-a-year
job of child welfare representa-
tive for the children's bureau in
the Kansas City regional Office
by the department to the -$12,-
000-a-year job vacated De-
cember l by Miss Jane M. Hoey.
The directors job was remov-
ed from civil service protection

was asked to resign 80 that an

the discoloration of the water.
On the east bank of the Po-
tomac, below the mouth OF Rock
Creek, floating particles of raw
sewage may be found, and the
stomachs of catfish taken from
this area contained recognizable
particles of sewage.
Much of this condition, the re-
port states, is the result of in
adequate maintenance of the
District sewers. It shows that
relief pooints on the combined
sewers have been allowed to dis
charge raw sewage for long pc
RODS, even during dry weather
flow.
Heavy Sewage Sludge.
Near Memorial Bridge are
heavy deposits of sewage sludge
on the east bank of the river, and
10 feet off shore at Hains Point
the soft deposits are more than
nine feet deep.
Some improvement is noted in
the river at Fort Foote and more
improvement Is noted at Fort
Washington. The river has
almost recovered at Hallowing
Point.
Rock Creek, which rises in
Maryland and flows through
Washington's principal park, re-
ceives heavy loads of overflow
sewage.
The report says that while
sampling data are not available
for Rock Greek, 1t is known that
great volumes of raw sewage are
discharged intermitteptly into
the stream, thus making it unfit
for unlimited recreation.
The AnacoStia River, accord
ing to the report, already is q
badly polluted stream by the
time it reaches Peace Cross. The
river receives a heavy load Of
raw and partially treated sewage
in the Bladensburg area, and its
accumulation of silt and sewage
Sludge has all but filled the
channel during periods of low
flow.
The report points out that
rising gas, bubbling to the sur.
face of the Anaeostia, is ample
proof Of septic conditions In the
stream.

Anacostia River" it states, sis

Want to Share Yule Cheer?
Here's a Way to Do 1t

did mot HAYES efficient food,
clothing, or toys. Under the new
plan, the Christmas Bureau pro
vides a sane and sound channel
for Christmas giving in Mont
gomery County.
Its detectives are: To assure
that none of the needy families
will be overlooked; to attempt
to avoid duplication of effort.
Delivering baskets the night be-
fore Christmas has been soul
satisfying to many but the Bur
eau's Interpretation provides a
Christmas Store which is stocked
by donations from individuals
and groups. An orderly system of
clearing names avoids duplica-
ton and protects both donors and
recipients. The Christmas Bureau,
knowing the needs of families,
can give guidance to community
groups wishing to make contribu-
tons at Christmas time.
We know the only reason
needy families are not shopping
at regular stores is because of
the lack of money. We know too
that family life is greatly streng-
thened if a mother can select the
kind of food, toys, and clothing
her family needs and wants. A
slip certifying family permits a
mather to shop" at the Christ
mas Store during the week be-
fore Christmas. Shopping is regu-
lated according to size and needs
of the family by volunteers work,
ing at the Store. Certification of
those in need is done by a group
of volunteer social workers who
donate their time to interviewing
families not known to agencies.

Christmas gifts and food they
need and want tucked away at
home before Christmas Eve, and
it presents a normal atmosphere
Christmas morning. AS children
learn the truth about Santa
Claus they look trustfully to
their parents to provide for them.
The Christmas Bureau of Mont
gomery County tries to keep this
faith in parents intact.
AS a County, we feel we are
fortunate in having the kind of
people interested in helping
others solve their problems with
out unnecessary interference. The
donor has the inner satisfaction
of knowing that his gift was
nobler, for it was given without
claim on the recipient, and he
has not embarrassed the receiver
by his generosity. On the other
hand, the recipient feels strongly
that there are many kind and
thoughtful people in the com
munity who have stretched out
their hands to help without a re-
turn of some kind being demand
ed
