The Alexandria City Council
took steps last night to protect
Its water supply from possible
contamination from a proposed
sewage treatment plant which
would empty into Lake jackson
near Manassas.
The council voted to Join with
the town of Manassas In asking
continuance of a hearing scfled-
uled Friday on the plant before
the Virginia Water Control
Board.
The councils action was taken
after Stuart Morrison. active In
city affairs, wrote the council
that plans were being made by
a developer to locate a treatment
plant for 200 homes on Lake
Jackson. Lake jackson empties
into one Of the streams which
feed the Occoquan Reservoir,
water supply for Alexandria and
parts Of Fairfax.
Plant Originally Approved
Mr.. Morrison said the Water
Control Board originally APP
proved the treatment plant but
scheduled a rehearing on request
OF the Prince William County
Board of Supervisors. The super
visors, who also had approved
the project, rescinded its action
after protests by citizens OF
Manassas.
Alexandria City Manager Ira
r. Willard told the City Council
that the Manassas Town Coun-
Gil voted Monday night to ask a
continuance of the Water Board
hearing until the town can study
the effect the plant would have
on Lake Jackson. The town, now
served by wells, plans to get its
water from Lake jackson some
time in the future. MFR. Willard
said.
Water Sources Limited
In urging the council action,
Mr.. Morrison said "the sources
of water required to serve our
rapidly expanding city and coun-
ty needs are limited. The COM
petition for these limited sources
of supply among surrounding
communities is growing. with in
creases in population and the
competition makes 1t imperative
that we act to protect and con-

Christmas business, which was excellent
in most lines. In fact in the last two
months Of 1854, the general business pick
up was evident in almost all lines and
profits realized in those months, in MANY
cases. made the business year a profitable
