Assembly Seen
Under Stronger
City influence
BY WILLIAM J. ELvIN

A challenge to domination of
the Virginia General Assembly
by the strictly rural viewpoint"
is foreseen at the next session in
January by State Senator John
A. K. Donovan of Fairfax County
Falls Church.
Senator Donovan told q For
Iestville audience last night that
the number Of Senators with IAN
urban view" has increased until
they number Is in the total
of 40.
1.-THE next session holds great
promise for those of us fighting
for facilities that the people in
the urban areas deserve" he said.
Carper Questioned
Senator Donovan and other
Democratic and Republican
candidates In the November g.
election addressed an audience
of more than 100 at Forestyille
School. The meeting was spon-
sored by a citizens group head
ed by Frank Delpg and Dean
Brundage.
Most in demand during q
uestion-and-answer period that
followed the speeches was g.
Wallace Carper. Democrat. vet
eran chairman of the Board OF
County Supervisors. He was
questioned closely about his
views on the proposed master
plan, the $50 million water bond
plan. and indignation of schools.
Mr.. Carper insisted he was
not ready to commit himself on
the McHugh master plan now
being studied by county officials.
He said he is of the opinion that
"3-acre and 5-acre lot sizes
are too large, but I'm CO.
ing to be influenced by what the
planning commission and the
people recommend"
Favors Master Plan
His Republican opponent for
the supervisor seat from Dranes-
vile district, A. Claiborne Leigh
said he favors the master plan.
Mr.. Leigh said he expects that
pressure will force reduction of
the proposed 3-acre and 5-acreI
minimums, but I win hold the
line at Q acres"

his vote to buy the Annandale

has been delayed at least until

If the people don't want the

credit of the entire county will
be called on If the county water
system gets into financial diff
Guilty. Two other bond issues

II think they're asking for
approval Of too much money.
This looks like a laundering way
to operate. to push this thing
down your throat at this time"
On the racial indignation is

favors segregation.
Mr.. Leigh, an attorney, said,
Il think the Supreme Court was
wrong, but we're faced with an
edict and we have no choice
but to carry 1t out"

Sewage Plant
Stepup Studied
By Fairfax

Two Of the new sewage disposal
plants that Fairfax County Is
about to build are apt to be
stepped up to secondary treat
ment because Of persistent pro-
tests from nearby residents
against installation Of primary
treatment plants.
The Board Of County Super
visors yesterday authorized en-
gineers to proceed with the de-
sign Of secondary treatment
facilities at the Dogue Run plant
and asked for cost estimates to
do likewise at the Little Hunting
Creek plant. The supervisors
also voted to make a personal
inspection tour off the two plant
sites.
Residents near both plants
protested installation of primary
treatment plants, although the
State Water Control Board and
engineers who designed the
plants reported that primary
treatment was SUFFICIENT at both
locations.
Supervisor Stuart De Bell, who
offered the resolution asking for
design Of secondary treatment
facilities at the Dogue Run plant,
specified that the county should
proceed in the meantime with
award Of a contract for the pri-
mary plant at that location.
He said the county was not in a
position to delay construction
OF the plant altogether to await
completion Of the secondary
treatment designs.
He said the county should at
tempt. however, to push con-
struction Of the secondary facili-
ties so they could be ready as
soon as the original part of the
PLAINTIFF primary treatment
sections ready.
$4,000 Added Cost
Engineers estimated it would
cost an additional $4,000 to
add the secondary treatment
facilities to the SAC, 900 primary
plant.
Installation Of normal Sec
ondary treatment, however, will
not make 1t possible to eliminate
a long outfall pipe into Dogue
Bay that residents protested,
They asked the county to build
a plant with sufficient treatment
to allow discharge Of the effiuent
into Dogue Creek, without ex-
tending an outfall pipe into the
bay.
Engineers advised the board
that State health authorities
would accept nothing less than
97.5 per cent treatment-an ex-
ceptionally' high type Of second
airy treatment--before permitting
a direct discharge into Dogue
Creek. They explained that
there was an extremely low flow
of water in the creek. According
to the engineers, the 97.5 degree
treatment plant would cost at
least $882.000 and be very ex-
pensive to operate. The type of
secondary treatment facilities for
which plans were authorized will
provide around IS per cent treat
ment and still require the outfall
pipe.
Both the Dogue Run and Little
Hunting Greek plants are part
of the county's current $40 mil
lion integrated sewer program
