Sanitary Commission Bill
Gets Cool Reception

An apparent attempt by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission to appease critics of
its increased water and sewer
rates has been given a cold re-
ception here by Montgomery and
Prince Georges County State
Senators.
Senator John Raymon
Fletcher, Republican. of Prince
Georges said that he and Sem
ator Anders R. Lofstrand. Re-
publican, of Montgomery have
decided not to introduce the bill
in it's present form.
The bill was prepared by SAM
tary Commission Counsel Arthur
c. Keefer. 1t would give the
Maryland Public Service Com
mission authority to review "rea-
sonableness" of Sanitary Com
mission rate increases upon re-
ceiving written application for
such review from the Sanitary
Commission. But the bill would
not give PSC power to do any
thing about Sanitary Commission
rates. PSC already has authority
to have such hearings on appli-
cation OF affected taxpayers.
