Water Rights
Sufe Here

Confidence that Washington
area Jurisdictions viii cooper
ate voluntarily to improve and
protect water Of the Potomac
River was expressed last night
by the Districts Engineer Com
missioner.
Col. Alvin c. yelling said all
measures to assure adequate
water supply and to reduce
river pollution now and into
the future are a pet project"
Of his.
He said he has found that
officials of the area with whom
he has worked in the WASH
ington Metropolitan Regional
Conference seem TO share his
feelings. The commissioner
spoke on Radio Station
WWDC's Report to the Peo-
Pile"
Discussing the work of the
water supply and pollution
abatement committee OF the
conference. Col, yelling said
sentiment OF members is pre-
dominantly in favor Of joint
voluntary action This def
nitely seems TO be preferred to
establishing an area river au-
thority vested with enforce
ment powers.
Il hope that this real effort
to develop a plan and program
in an orderly fashion will work
on a voluntary basis" the COM
missioner said.
He added he is especially
optimistic that problem-racked
Fairfax County will do all in
its power TO keep sewage and
sewage-treatment plant effluent
from entering the Potomac
above Washington's water in
takes at Great and Little Falls.
He recalled that one of his
deputies recently sounded out
the county on the possibility of
Fairfax hooking up part of its
sewage system with Washing
tons for down-river treatment.
On the subject of building
a fiShway through Little Falls
dam. Col. yelling refused to
commit himself. The project
seems TO be doomed by high
costs.
He did say, however. he is
four-square in favor of giving
fish more spawning grounds as
the fishway would do, He put
the problem this way: Any
thing is poSSible-even dam
ming up the Gulf of Mexico
If there's enough money"
