Mayor Fink. City Manager
Lewis Johnston and Public
Works Director James Head
told Of plans to expand the
system to serve much of the
north and central portions of
the heavily populated section
Of the county.
The city is planning to in
stall a 36-inch line to the Dis.
trict's Dalecarlia Reservoir,
which would give Falls Church
80 million gallons of water a
day. The city system now uses
about 6 million gallons a day to
serve about 10000. most of
them outside the city.
Area Plan Detailed
Mayor Fink said the city
hopes to serve the area from
the river toward Tyson's Cor
ner. southwark toward Vienna
and Fairfax and down to An,
Mandate.
The city system now is fed
through a 24-inch main con-
nected to the Arlington line
from Dalecarlia. The city al
ready has installed a 36-inch
line across the Potomac but
still has to connect to the reser-
voir on the north bank and
to the existing lines on the
south. Cost of making the con-
nections Is estimated at $780,
900. The connection is expected
to be made before 1868.

At one point in the all-day
review of the budget, 1t was
brought out that there are
hints Congress might require
District elementary schools to
provide free lunches. This
would necessitate the construc-
ton of kitchens in each school,
a project estimated to run into
millions. Board members de-
cided to wait until more infor-
nation is available. Senator
Morse, Republican of Oregon,
said in Senate hearings fol-

schools should provide the
facilities for free, hot lunches.

DR.. Hobart M. Corning,
school superintendent, said the
slack in the program accented
the need for a borrowing pro-

now pending in Congress. This
would enable schools to OBJ

instead of again experiencing
the cuts and delays of pay-as-

people asked us to extend our
lines so they could get good
service"
I'VE are not trying to precip-

Past Negotiations Cited
He said the city had nego-
tiated several years ago with
James McWhorter, owner OF
the Annandale Water Co., for
purchase of his firm. but de-
cided not to buy it because it
was not feasible then. He said
Mr.. McWhorter again asked
the city a few weeks ago if it
was interested in buying the
firm.
Fairfax County officials fear
purchase of the firm by Falls
Church will end any hopes of
having a county-owned. inte-
grated water system. The An
Mandate system is in the heart
of the populated eastern Sec
ton of the county.
The county is proceeding
with four different plans-one
of which they hope will work
for acquiring the Annandale
firm and setting up an inte-
grated system.
Mayor Fink said the city has
an option to buy the Annandale
firm if engineering surveys now
being conducted show it is
feasible. He said the option
is subject to satisfactory price
