Dam
Condemnation
Suit Resisted

The Alexandria Water Co. has
run into more litigation in its
efforts to build. new dam and
reservoir on Occoquan Greek.
The first condemnation suit
filed by the water company Is
being resisted by four property
owners who claim too much land
lis being sought and improper re-
Istriction on use Of the reservoir
ARE being attempted.
The condemnation suit, filed
lby the water company. seeks a
total Of 29.5 acres on the Fair
fax County side Of Occoquan
Creek owned by Carroll Wright
and three other members Of his
family. Mr.. Wright is an Arling-
ton real estate man.
Unfiooded Area Sought
The suit claims that absolute
possession Of the property is nee
iessary for construction Of a dam
and reservoir to supply water in
Fairfax and Alexandria.
A. Carter Whitehead, attorney
for Mr.. Wright, charges in an
answer to the condemnation suit
that the water company is trying
Ito take too much land-partic-
Iularly a strip all around the edge
Iof the reservoir that would not
be flooded.
Boating Limited
Mr.. Whitehead said the own
Iers also are attacking a restric-
ton on use Of the reservoir
sought by the water company.
The water company proposed to
let surrounding land owners use
the reservoir for boating and
fishing. but would bar any COM
Imercial boating and fishing
without a license from the wa
tier company. The land owners
claim the water company cannot
take any more property by con-
domination than it actually needs
for the reservoir, and that it
has no right to limit fishing
and boating uses.
A hearing on the suit is
scheduled to be heard next Fri
day in Fairfax Circuit Court.
Two earlier suits have been
filed against the water company
in Prince William County. where
la land owner claims damage has
been done to his property in
connection with a dam project.
The water company already
has awarded a contract for con-
Istruction of the dam and plans
ito have additional reservoir ca
lpacity ready this summer.

Senate Backs
Absentee Vote
BY a star Stan Correspondent


ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 25.-The
Maryland Senate yesterday ap-
proved with reluctance a bill
already passed by the House to
extend absentee voting priv
ilegeS to civilians as well as
military personnel.
The measure still must be
voted on again. but yesterdays
action was tantamount to
enactment.
Nos in Majority
The bill came before the
Senate in a routine fashion with
q favorable report from the
judicial Proceedings Committee.
It's hackers anticipated no diff
ficulty with it and were obviously
surprised when a voice vote
showed a preponderance of mo"
votes.
Senate President Louis L.
Goldstein, however. quickly re-
minded the chamber the measure
was Of more than routine
importance and refused to
recognize the negative vote.
Senator H. Winship Wheatley.
jr., Democrat of Prince Georges
and chairman of a subcommittee
that drafted the bill, took the
floor then to explain to the
Senate that the bill merely
carried out the direction of the
people in adopting a constitu-
tional amendment in the 1854
election.
New Vote Called
"The debate ended on this
bin when the people APP
proved the amendment" Senator
Wheatley declared.
Senator Goldstein called for
q second vote. This time the
"ayes" obviously had it.
A favorable report on a
companion measure was &C
cepted. 10 to 10. 1t proposes
another constitutional amend
ment to correct what Senator
Wheatley said was an over
sight in the 1854 absentee voter
amendment. 1t would allow a
physically disabled person to
vote by absentee ballot whether
he was in or outside Of his home
precinct.
