Pollution Study
Urged toInc|ude
The Patuxent
Suburban Sanitary
Official Proposes
Broudened Survey

A suggestion that the compre-
hensive survey of the Washing
ton areas pollution abatement
needs include part of the Patux-
ent River watershed was submit
ted at meeting of area SANTA
ton officials yesterday.
The proposal came from Harry
B. Shaw. chief engineer of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission. His sanitary dis
trict receives nearly all its water
supply from the Patuxent, but
most of this water is piped into
the Potomac River watershed as
sewage.
Mr.. Shaw pointed out that
this pollutant totals or will soon
total about 36 million gallons
daily. Although most of this is
treated at the Washington sew
age treatment plant it still is a
source of pollution that any
area survey should reckon with.
Firm Making Survey
The meeting was called by the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin which is
paying for the study with a
starter of Federal funds allowed
by the Federal water pollution
control law.
The consultant firm of Abel
Wolman and Associates of Bal
timore is making the study. DR..
Wolman conferred with en-
gineers of the major Washington
area jurisdictions to outline the
type of data he will need. The
participants all pledged their
assistance.
In lining up detectives of the
survey DR.. Wolman said its i'm
portant that he determine the
degree of cleanliness the area
wants for the Potomac. He added
he plans to prepare a set of
different recommendations based
on different pollution control
goals.
He was emphatic on one score:
We must bear in mind that
there is unique situation here
This is the Nations Capital
consequently proposals that we
might make for other cities
simply would not be good enough
for Washington"
Calls for Bigger Sewers
He indicated that among his
recommendations will be the
need for sewers of ample ca
pacity. There never has been
a sewer line yet that has been
built too large" he explained.
One of Washington's problems
is sewer that are too small and
consequently spill raw sewage
directly into area streams during
heavy rains.
Mr.. Wolman said he expects
also to make recommendations
on the possibility of special
financing from Congress to help
clean up the waters. He agreed
to appear before any Congress
sional hearing to support his
findings when completed.
He stressed the comparatively
small size of the Potomac in re-
lation to the size of the metro
politan area.
1T will not be too long under
present conditions" he said.
before the area will be taking
out all of the Potomac's flow mi
seasons and returning it farther
downstream as sewage"

Don't Take A Chance
With Tick Bites
You May Become Spotted Fever
Victim Ii You Do

Tick season is here, says County
Agent William H. Henderson. He's
already had reports of ticks found
on dogs even though it has been
a late spring.
Ticks will be troublesome in Del
ware from now on through July.
The principal kind, common Ameri-
can dog tick, can transmit Rocky
Mountain spotted fever.
Mr.. Henderson advises make
daily examinations for ticks. Re
move any with tweezers. not the
fingers. Cauterize the spot with
iodine.
A good way to protect your dog
from ticks, he says, is with a week
ly DDT treatment AS a powder,
YOU can rub 4 tablespoonsful of
$50 dust into the hair AS a dip,
use k-pound of 500 wettable pow
der in gallons of water.
Another precaution to take is to
dust tick infested spots on your
property with either $50 DDT or
$50 chlordane every 4 weeks. Apply
the DDT at the rate of 4 pounds
per 1000 square feet; the chlOr-
dane at the rate of IN pounds per
1000 feet.
