Answers Report
By Fact Finders
On Big Program
BY MARY LOU WERNER

Fairfax County's proposed
public water program was de.
tended by the engineer who
planned it in a reply today to
the critical report Of the Fairfax
County Citizens Fact-Finding
Committee.
County voters on November 8
win be asked to approve the sale
lof up to $50 million in revenue
bonds to finance an integrated
water system. The water bond
issue has become the most con-
Itroversial matter to be voted on
lin the coming election.
M. H. Klegerman, engineer
for Alexander Potter Associates,
today analyzed the fact finders
report which criticized the pro.
posed bond issue as "wasteful
and uneconomic." One point
stressed by the fact finders was
that recurring shortages Of
water resulted chiefly from in-
sufficient storage, piping and
pumping facilities-and not from
any inadequate supply.
Calls Supply Inadequate
Mr.. Klegerman agreed that
this was problem, but added
"over 81 per cent Of the existing
population in the county served
by public or private water sys-
TENS is served by well supplies,
These supplies are admittedly
inadequate"
The engineer denied that his
report gave no estimate on in.
terest rates. and said that q 3sz
per cent rate was anticipated.
According to the engineers
report, the Fact Finders had lit
tie to say about the fact that
the county has only about one
third the necessary fire hydrants.
The county program anticipates
installation Of fire hydrants
Throughout the water system.
with the cost being included In
water rates.
Cost Estimates Differ
Mr.. Klegerman Is particularly
critical of the estimates given
by the Fact Finders to show how
much the county can expect to
lpay for existing private water
companies. The county plan
estimates they can be acquired
flor $4.4 million. while the Fact
Finders charge that it would
lcost roughly SO million to buy up
Ithe private firms.
| According to Mr.. Kleger1han.
the original cost Of the physical
assets Of the seven private COM
lpanies was shown last year az
.l$4. 4.346.000. The fact Finders say
another 50 million In expansion
has taken place since that time.
Mr.. Klegerman states it In
likely this expansion might elm.
mate the need for some exten-
sion Of mains under the county
program.
Replacement Allowances
The engineer also notes that
the Fact Finders allowed a Is
per cent increase for reproduce
ton costs in evaluating the pri-
vate companies applying this
increase to the new construction
as well as the old. Mr.. Kleger.
man reasons that reproduction
costs certainly have not in
creased IS per cent during the
past year. and therefore could
not be applied to the 81 million
In new construction.
The Fact Finders stressed o
need for further study in their
criticism Of the county program.
Mr.. Klegerman agrees that more
studies should be made. but de-
clares that the county would
hardly be justified in proceeding
with these matters until the

Russians Planning
Nuclear Blasts to
Change Weather
BY Eddy Gilmore

LONDON, R-There are good
indications that the Russians are
going to use nuclear explosions
on a scale unmatched in history
to blast out a central Asian sea
that may change the weather of
Europe.
Western diplomats have brought
back reports from Moscow that
the Russians are planning to create
such a sea as part of a long-term
program to change the physical
surface of Siberia and the waste
lands to the south.
Last autumn the Soviet Council
Of Applied Sciences in Moscow
published an outline revealing
plans that vast area in Siberia
would be irrigated and criss-
crossed by a system of canals
and dams.
ms, said the Soviet experts,
would change the weather in
Siberia, making the winters and
summers milder. Western meteor
ologists say this probably would
have profound effect on the
weather throughout Europe, also
making winters milder there.
Returning diplomats also report
Soviet plans to divert two Of ST.
beria's big rivers, the Oh and the
Yenisei, both Of which flow north
to the arctic seas.
They said Russian scientists
have privately revealed they hope
to be able to make these water
ways flow southwark, forming
Central Asian sea.
The diplomats said nuclear ex-
plosionS, in which the Soviet
armed forces could test their
atomic and hydrogen weapons,
would be used to blast out the
tremendous land areas necessary
to bring all this about
