WSSC Offer
Won't Change
Water Vote

Rockville citizens will still go
to the polls September 10 to vote
on a bond issue to tap the Po-
tomac's water supply, in spite of
the fact that the mayor and coun-
Gil were informed last week by
the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission that it, too, will
seek this same water source, prob
ably by 1860.
At a press conference last We'd
nesday, Mayor Dickran Hovsepian
said he was delighted" to receive
the WSSc's offer to guarantee to
meet all the city's water needs
until the new line is built, at
which time the city would be as
sured of permanent water sup
ply "at reasonable cost, although
he felt that the proposal came "a
little late.
The mayor reported that the
city is asking for an immediate
meeting with WSSC to get def
mite information on cost estimates
so Rockville residents can decide
whether it will be cheaper to
build it's own line or rely on the
sanitary commission for future
water needs.
Councilman John Oxley indi-
Gated that city officials are only
interested in getting an adequate
water supply at the cheapest cost
and that if this means going into
the sanitary district and turning
over the city's present water sup
ply I'VE would be stupid not to go
into the district"
No Definite Offer
However, Mayor Hovsepian
pointed out that sanitary officials
had never made a definite offer
to take over Rockville's water
system and Some members of the
commission aren't even sure this
is possible.
The mayor stressed the fact
that the present administration
has always taken a regional ap

And they may not know which
