Pollution Study
Measure Proposes
$40 Million Grunt
For Sewage Plants
BY JOHN w. STEPP

"A Dill proVlQlng $I0U,uuU 1or q
study of Metropolitan Washing
ton stream pollution and SIC
million in Federal grants for in
term sewage, treatment plant
construction was introduced in
the House today by Representa-
tive Broynill, Republican of Vir-
ginia.
The survey would be under
taken by the Interstate Commits
sion on the Potomac River Basin
It would take in the pollution
problems of Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties in Mary
land. the District of Columbia
Alexandria. Falls Church, and
Fairfax and Arlington Counties
in Virginia.
Its purpose would be to develop
a comprehensive master plan
designed to end pollution in the
Potomac River in the Mertopoli-
tan Washington area"
In line with its investigation
the Commission would submit
the master plan to it's member
bodies and to Congress for ap-
prevail. The Commission also
would prepare proposals for pol
luton abatement legislation.
Stop Gap Grants
AS a stop-gap measure. the
Surgeon General of the United
States would be authorized to
make grants totaling $40 million
to build sewage treatment plants
while the study is in progress.
This money would be available
to the States and their political
subdivisions. as well as the Dis
trict. Each political jurisdiction
would be entitled to grants not
exceeding so per cent of the cost
Of the treatment plant.
Each area, before receiving the
money, moreover. would have to
certify that it will pursue to
completion a comprehensive
master plan designed to end
pollution Of the Potomac"
Approval Required
A further string that would
be attached to the grants Ii
that the State water pollution
control agency of the areas
applying for grants would have
to approve the construction
projects.
The Potomac Basin Commits
sion also would be required to
certify that each project is con-
sistent with any comprehensive
master plan which that body
may recommend"
The Congressman explained
that this provision is aaaned at
insuring that the areas receiving
grants would use the money to
best advantage as part of ar
overall pollution abatement pro-
gram.
Stresses Overall Problem
I'VE don't want anyone to use
it just to take care of a purely
local sewage disposal problem
without regard for the overall
problems" he said.
Another $4,000 would be APP
propriated under Mr.. Broyhill's
bill to cover each areas costs ir
gathering data useful to the
proposed study by the Commits
sion.
Mr.. Broyhill, whose Congress
sional district includes Fairfa2
and Arlington Counties, said his
bill has the support of leading
organizations working to solve
the pollution problem which. he
emphasized. becomes more seri-

The new tax bill passed by
the Legislature was signed IN

The law became effective on

The Governor is authorized
to select a committee which

sentatiyes and four members
of the legislature, to recon-
mend a suitable tax measure
prior to April !, 1857.

ture the Governor said that a
very careful study of the bill
indicates that it will raise
about $65O,OOO, or 500, 900 less

The lawmakers pointed out,
however, that the new collec-
ton machinery would reduce
