S12.6 Million Project
The river tap program, Mr..
Bourne said, is estimated to cost
some $12.6 million and is part
of a $28.7 million water expan-
sion program through 1890.
Meanwhile, both the commits
sion and Mr.. Shaw declined to
change their feelings on whether
the four-State State Com
mission on the Potomac River
Basin should be given police and
regulatory powers.
Mr.. Shaw previously had been
reported as opposing such a plan
and yesterday Mr.. Bourne said
the commission also is opposed
to it. Earlier this month, Rep
resentative Hyde. Republican Of
Maryland, asked the commission
to back the move.
Mr.. Shaw told the commission
yesterday:
II don't think the Potomac
River should be made the sub
ject of political controversy. The
problem is such an important
one. ! hate to see it involved in

Observation-Disclosures
Potomac Topping Delay

The agency that supplies water
for suburban Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties has re-
Inewed its plea for permission to
tap the Potomac River.
Washington Suburban Sani-
Itary Commission members again
have asked the Maryland De-
Ipartment Of Geology, Mines and
Wather Resources to grant such
permission SO it can proceed
with its plan to carry out such q
project by 1860.
The latest plea came yester.
day. after the commission was
advised by letter the State
agency is withholding its deci-
sion, pending Qualification Of
certain legal aspects"
The letter was from Arthur
B. Stewart. chairman of the
State department, with head
quarters at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity in Baltimore. The Sani-
tary Commission previously had
made application to the depart
ment for such permission, and
a public hearing was held on il
in Baltimore November 81, al
which there was no objection.
New Effort Ordered
Two weeks ago, the commission
asked that a speedy decision be
rendered. Yesterdays letter was
an answer to that. 1t failed to
convince the commission, which
instructed Harry B. Shaw, its
chief engineer. to draft a new
letter to the department point
ing up the urgency Of the matter
The application asks permits
sion to tap into the river for adj
ditional water supply at a point
between Watts branch and Oak
Spring Lock above Potomac.
The commission estimates it will
need from SO to 119 million gall
Ions daily to augment the water
supply of its district by 1860 and
hopes to get it from the river.
At present. the commission
draws its water from the Pa
tuxent River and some deep
wells near Forestville.
T. Earle Bourne, commission
chairman, called the delay in
getting permission "disappoint-
ing to the public" He said it
will require a lot of time for en-
cheering surveys and preparing
plans, land acquisitions and OBJ
tanning rights-of-way and for ac-
Itual construction.
