VOWS to County Taxpayers

Judging from a communique
received by The SENTINEL, the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission has decided to mend
its controversial ways and be
nice to the people.
Its six new commissioners, ap-
pointed last week, made public
a copy of a memorandum adj
dressed to all personnel of the
commission. 1t says:
g. Under the new law gov
erning the organization of the
commission, four of us were
chosen to be commissioner by
our respective County govern
ments. The purpose behind this
change in the law was to make
this commission more responsive
and more responsible to the peo-
pie it serves.
1--WE intend to see that this
purpose is carried out.
ITO accomplish this, it will be
necessary for some of us to al
ter our conception of this COM

mission and its relationship to
the public.
Therefore, let us bear in mind
that:
81. This commission was crea.
ted solely for the purpose of pro-
viding certain essential services
to the residents of this bi-county
area.
-. Every cent that this com
mission spends, including the sal
aries of each one of us, comes
from the people who pay for the
services we are obliged, by law
to render :"
The commissioners 60 on to
point out that these statements
should be used as a guide for
action in all contacts with the
public.
The memo is signed by T. Earle
Bourne, Frank L. Hewitt, Jr.,
James B. Bland, Willard A. Nor
ris, L. S. Ray, and ]. Norman
Ager. All are new commissioners

City Officials
Ask for Better
Book Service

Rockville City Attorney David
l.. Cahoon and City Manager
John H. MARYLAND placed an elo.
quent plea for better city library
service before the County Council
at its third and final budget hear.
ing last week.
Reminding council members
that they had tabled a bill to
rebate Rockville's portion of the
county library tax to the CITY,
Cahoon said by that action the
council had assumed response,
bility' for the "woefully made,
quate' service most city residents
now get from the county system.
The one-stop made by a Coun,
ty bookmobile every two weeks
at Denfield court in Twinbrook
leaves well over two-thirds of the
city's population unserved, he
said.
Cahoon further pointed out that
Rockville does not get a share
of county library service equal to
its portion of the county tax
base $3.50; its share of the
county's population (6.7%); or a
per capita reckoning of the Sill
the county spends on each per-
son in the county ($1760O).
MARYLAND told council members
that the Rockville Library Asso-
citation had been prepared to op-
crate a complete service" for the
city if the county tax had been
related. He indicated that the
plan would have given the town
a housed library open 40 hours a
week, and blanket service from
a municipal bookmobile.
Surely for $4,000 the county
can do better than the one BIZ
weekly bookmoPile stop, Mark
land told the council.
Other speakers at the hearing
which drew an SRO crowd to the
county auditorium and lasted un-
til the early morning hours,
touched on libraries, civil defense,
the sheriff's office, and public
works projects.
Easily the most controversial
was the storm raised over Pub
lie Works project No. 874, a 49,
100000 item to widen and re-sur-
face Arlington Rd., from Elm st.
to Old Georgetown Rd. and to
widen and extend Pearl st. from
East-West Highway to Leland
st. The two streets parallel Wis
consin Ave. through the business
district of Bethesda.

ply safety margin the 9th Maryland
District
We have had an inkling of what
the future may bring in the over
, taxing of some of our local water
supply systems Community growth
is tied very definitely to available
water supplies. Some localities
must now curtail the expansion
which new housing and industry
bring simply because of inadequate
water processing and distribution
systems.
A beginning is being nade in
! planning for the conservation of
water resources and their utiIiZa-
ton in the 9th District. Already
under way are studies by the Inter
state Commission on the Potomac
River Basin. The Corps of Engineers
is also actively at work on the
problems presented in that part of
the Potomac River Basin which lies
within our District. Other agencies
are also carrying out preliminary
Investigations on many aspects of
the problem.
The Acting Director of the Inter
state Commission on the Potomac
River Basin Mr.. l.. M. Fisher, has
been kind enough to outline some
of the reasons for conserving water
at its SOurce-particularly III the
Upper PotOmac-for us. He pointed
out that there is only fixed guam
tity of water available and in
creased individual industrial and
farming needs must be met through
conservation and learning to use
water supplies over and over again.
