The Fact Finders declare that

more than twice as much as the
private water companies are now
making and they assume that
the county "wiIl be forced to
raise water service rates sharp

The county last week issued q
proposed rate schedule that is
higher than current rates of
most private companies, but
county officials declared that
rates probably could be lowered
in the future as the county sys-
TEN gets firmly established.
Like other foes Of the bond
issue, the Fact Finders also warn
|of the total bonded debt facing
Fairfax. The Fact Finders place
the total county indebtedness
|if the water bonds ,pass-at 1852

Flood waters come and go IN

but in the Gum Springs area the
community Is rarely, II ever, CONF

The section just east Of Route

situation. but so far no actual
work has been done.
Nearly every time 1t rains the

A charge that Fairfax county's
proposed $40 million water bond
Issue Is "wasteful and uneco-
Inomic." countered BY new as
surance that only revenue bonds
win be sold, emerged today in the
hard fought controversy over the
icounty's plans to establish an
|integrated public water system.
The $50 million water bond
issue is one Of three bond issues
to be voted on November 8. II
has been proposed by the Board
Iof County Supervisors TO finance
|a unified. public water system
supplied by the Potomac River.
The economic criticism came
from the newly formed Fairfax
County Citizens Fact Finding
Committee, headed by Carl D,
Soresi Of Forestville.
Assurance that only revenue
bonds can be sold came from
Fairfax Commemorative Attor-
lney Robert C. Fitzgerald. In q
written opinion presented to
members Of the Board Of Coun-
ty Supervisors yesterday. be
held that wording of the water
bond issue petition to the circuit
court binds the county to sell
pure revenue bonds-with no tax
backing.
Critics Of the water bond issue
have warned that taxpayers
might be called on to pay Of the
water bonds if revenue fail.
The Commemorative Attorney
added that it would be his duty
ito take the Supervisors to court
lii they ever attempted to use any
funds to retire the water bonds
other than revenues from opera
ton of the system even II they
should be insufficient.

Water-logged New Alexandfis
residents had hopes Of relief
from recurring floods today after
persuading the Fairfax Board Of
County Supervisors to appropri-
ate $4,000 for drainage improve

The supervisors agreed to ap-
lpropriate the sum yesterday
after Edward Kipp. director Of

|Europe''s Oldest
Tavern Doomed

SEVILLE, Dec. IA (NANA).-
The Seville tavern confidently
claimed to be Europe's oldest.
and where generations Of famous
novelists, poets, politicians. art
lists and bullfighters have sat to
drink wine and talk, is to fall
before the wrecker's hammer.
LAS Escobas," which means
THE Brooms." has been a land
mark Of Seville since 1t first
opened its doors in 1888.
It's site has been sold, and the
historic one-door building is to
be pulled down to make room for
a block Of apartments.
Although there has always
been a bundle of small brooms
hanging from the ceiling Of the
tavern, and although all the
glasses used in the place are en-
graved with a pair Of crossed
brooms, no one knows the origin
of the name-not even Don
Gonzalez Sanchez Diaz. the pres
ent proprietor. He is the 18th
Landlord Of Las Escobas."
Cervantes. author Of Don
Quixote" and SPANS best-known
writer, is known to have often
worked here - drinking glass
after glass Of rich red wine -
he worked on his MASTERPIECES.
Whenever he ran short Of paper.
according to tavern legend, he
continued writing on the marble
top Of the table. giving strict in
Structions to the walters to pre-
serve his golden phrases until
he returned next day to copy
them on to his manuscript.
Lord Byron, renowned British
poet. was also one Of the "regu-
lars" On more than one occasion
he retreated to Las Escobas" to
drink quantities Of sherry in an
effort to forget his temporary
disappointment in one Of his
numerous love affairs.
