ANNAPOLIS, Jan. % (P.--
The problem of financially ire
sponsible drivers was aired be-
fore a Maryland Senate commit
tee yesterday with some commit
tee members suggesting the pro-
posed solutions were merely
weapons in a battle between two
types Of insurance companies.
Up before the Senate judiciary
Committee were two bills.
One would require all eligible
drivers to take out insurance
policies guaranteeing payment
for injuries and damages they
might cause.
The other would require all
drivers and automobile liability
insurance firms to chip into q
fund from which the injuries
and damages caused by unin-
sured motorists would be COM
pensated.
Drivers carrying liability in
surance would pay 81 to get
things started, uninsured drivers
would pay So.
If this did not enable the fund
to cover all claims, the COM
panies would add one-half of one
per cent Of their net premiums
or 10 per cent of the deficit

8. General benefits by con-
struction of multi-purpose dams
designed not only for food con-
troll, but for domestic, industrial
and agricultural water supply,
Idilution of downstream pollution
and hydro-electro power.
Which method shall it be for
which areas? The question rests

public and all their legislative
representatives.

BY JOHN W.. sTEPP

When the Potomac'S greatest
food ragged through its water
shed in March, 1886, the volume
of water at what was left OF
Great Falls reached 3.6 million
gallons per second, making
downstream areas resemble q
lake.
The falls themselves, as q
matter of fact, were 80 feet
under water.
This 40 times greater than
average flow caused $l2.6 million
damage in the river basin.
There have been seven other
floods of nearly equal proper
tions in the Potomac since peo-
pie started recording such things
The flood of June. 1889-the
time Of the celebrated Johns
town flood, and when Washing
tons Capitol Hill had water at
its foot-is notable. And in Oc-
tober 1913. food stage in the
Washington area reached the
. highest peak in its history. due
to rain and river conditions In
the tidal areas.
More Likely
Such flows will unquestionably
recur. The time may be S. 10 OF
perhaps 20 years from now-or
maybe next spring. No one can
judge the cycle.
Protective measures around
Washington. in any case, are de-
signed to keep out food flows
1.6 million gallons per second
greater than those of 1886.
But hydrologic and meteorol-
ogical surveys warn of worse to
come: Floods more than double
the water volume of the 1886
record-breaker could happen
here.
And if one of these should hit
the Potomac in its present.
largely unprotected state, the
results could be disastrous.
Should 1886 repeat itself today,
the damage-because of in
creased property values and i'm
provements coupled with the
devaluation Of the dollar in the
last 20 would be closer to
$50 million than to $l2 million.
Recent Floods Costly
The latest floods in the basin
caused by the hurricanes Of
1854 and 1955-were small by
engineering standards. Even so,
the 1854 damage in the North
Branch of the Potomac alone
came to SIS million. and the
basin-wide damage in 1855 to-
tailed nearly 81 million. It has
been estimated. moreover. that
the North Branch destruction
would have approached $6.5 mil
lion were it not for the water
flow control effect Of the Savage
River Dam-the one stable dam
in the whole basin, and enc
that functions only incidentally
to hold back floods.
This dam has more than paid
for itself. incidentally, in terms
Of the flood damage it has pre-
vented to date. 1t represents the
biggest completed project that
does flood control work in the
basin today.
The only others Of conse-
quence are local protection
works around Washington's wa
terfront and along the North
Branch and Wills Creek at
Cumberland. The Cumberland
project, consisting of levees,
channel relocation and paving
and construction Of a minor
dam. is due for completion next
year at a cost of SIT million.
The major part of the Met
ropolitan area work consists of
the $l2 million Anacostia River
project. due to be finished next
September. Major rechanneling,
streambed widening and levee
construction of the Maryland
portion Of the river and its two
main tributaries feature this
work.
