A mighty dam or a system
of smaller dams to store the
waters of the Potomac River
must be built - and soon 80
or Washington area residents
will face critical water short
age problems in the years
ahead, report made public
this week contends.
This would m can that hun
dreds of acres of Montgomery
County farm and recreation land
would be inundated by the
backed up Potomac waters but
the report says the need for such
a step is an "undeniable fact"
The only question remaining,
the report says, is how much
storage should be provided and
where.
A hearing on the Washington
areas water and sewage prob
lens will be held by the Joint
Committee on Washington Met
ropolitan Problems Tuesday.
Rep. Dewitt S. Hyde (R.Md.) is
vice chairman of the committee.
Gilbert v. Levin, sanitary en-
gineer hired by the committee to
make the study. said in his re-
port that in the 50-year. period
1865 to 2015, storage require
ments will increase at the rate
of 10000 acrc-feet, or 6.54 billion
gallons per year.
This, he pointed out, is equiva-
lent to the amount that would be
stored by the construction of one
reservoir every year the size of
Rocky Gorge Dam, near Laurel.

ton area water picture was con-
tanned in the report The nearby
Maryland situation shines by
comparison to the nearby Vir.
ginia picture where privately
owned water companies supply
the water.
But such setup as the
WSSC's, Levin wrote, is not
enough. The possibility of Great
ing a single metropolitan area
water authority. or sanitary dis
trict. should be examined, he
contended.
He admitted, however. that
some step short of notification
under a single agency might
satisfy the water supply needs of
the area" He continued;
"A satisfactory solution to the
water supply problems might be
found in a mechanism that
would continue the present adj
ministrative arrangements in
Maryland and the District of
Columbia, but provide som e
legally empowered means for in.
tegrating the water supply plan
ming and physical systems of the
entire metropolitan area.
'In such an arrangement" he
continued, "the Washington
Aqueduct might be assigned the
task of developing the Potomac
River to supply the needs of the
area, treating the water and de-
livering it to the three political
Jurisdictions which. in turn, would
be responsible for distributing
it. This scheme might offer most
of the advantages Of centralized
water supply operations without
requiring extensive administra-
tive reorganization"

FireTnen
Answer
ACC Study

Creation of a county fire
department and hiring of a
county fire chief would be
costly and entirely unneces-
sary at this time" a spokes-
man for county volunteer
firemen charged this week.
William John Thomas Nv, OF
Ednor, a past president OF the
county fire board and public
relations chairman Of the Mont
gomcry County Volunteer Fire.
mems Association, made the OBJ.
servation in answer to the fire
study report Of Allied Civic
Group made public last week.
In the report, a study commits
tee of ACC, which is composed
Of Az citizen associations in the
Silver Spring area, urged hiring
of a county chief, abolition OF
the fire tax districts and financ.
ing of fire fighting activities
out of county general funds, lay
ing down OF a set Of rules by
the County Council, submission
of budgets by each department
to the county, disbursements to
fire units to be made by the
county finance department, and
county departments wishing to
maintain ambulance service be
allowed to continue Embarrassing
activities.
Tcrming the report unfair"
Thomas countered that a fire
chief could do little that is not
already being done by the depart
ments themselves and the Fire
Board. Cooperation among the
fire departments is now out
standing and If such a chief were
hired the volunteer departments
might fall apart at the seams"
THE system proposed by the
ACC committee would much
more than double the cost of
fire protection in Montgomery
County. There is no point
saddling the taxpayers with such
an unnecessary expense.
I'VE are not perfect now but
we are set up so that we can
expand as the need arises and
are constantly making improve
ments," he added.
Many of the grievances
against volunteers set forth in
the recent Maryland Under
writer's report and the ACC
committee report are no longer
valid" Thomas said. The Under
writer's report. in particular, he
said doesn't give us credit for
anything we are doing. They
say, we ought TO, for example,
have a central alarm system and
we have been pushing for one
for two years and II will be
adopted very soon.
Il visited Los Angeles recent.
ly and learned that that city
doesn't even meet some Of the
stringent requirements Of the
Maryland Underwriters. The
Underwriters aim for the ideal,
the perfect and nothing short Of
that satisfies them" he said.
The cost Of providing some Of
the highly desirable fire.fighting
improvements sought by the
Underwriters and the ACC com
mittee would be absolutely pro.
hibitive now he said.

ROckcrest
School Case
Is Reopened

Unexpected support from a
number Of RockcRest citizens for
proposed school on part Of the
Rockcrest Recreation Area caused
the Rockville city council this
week to set May 10 for rehear-
ing Of the case.
Last month the Mayor and
Council turned down the School
Boards request for an exchange
Of land in RoclScrest for a piece
Of the Lincoln Junior High site
which the city wants for q park.
The Rockcrest site Is wanted for
a primary school to relieve Twin
brook Elementary.
The Mayor and Councils deci.
sion was based in part on near
by residents objection to the loss
of the park area in Roclkcrest,
The Rockcrest site is centrally
located, Mrs. Horton said 1t was
her opinion that the opposing
group was in the minority as far
as the community feeling as a
whole.

Written Vote
Ruling Due
In Rockville

Do Rockville voters have
the right to write in" the
names of candidates on the
ballot in the April % city
elections?
City Attorney David Cahoon
will come up with a ruling on
the question this week. The Of
fetal told the mayor and coun-
Gil Tuesday that the city charter
does not permit written votes.
But he promised to study state
and constitutional laws to make
sure they don't override the city
laws.
The question came up this
week after reports circulated that
one or more persons might seek
written votes. At filing dead
line recently, only the Citizens
for Good Government slate had
filed as candidates. Accordingly,
their names will be the only ones
printed on the ballot.
Also Tuesday the Mayor and
Council appointed Cahoon, Coun-
cilmen Frank Ecker and Alexan-

liar case.
In other action Tuesday the
Mayor and Council:
. Approved an amendment to
the coming ordinance allowing
doctors and dentists to have of
fees in the R-60 zone i'm buildings
other than their homes.
Requirements for this special
exception use are that the office
buildings be on corner lots, only
one office to building, and one
new requirement added this
week, that the doctor or dentist
practice full time in order to
serve the residential community.
Turned down another coming
ordinance amendment to. allow
private clubs in buildings in all
four of the residential zones. The
vote was four to one with Coun,
Gilman John Raush in favor of
private clubs as a special excep-
ton use.
Decided to replace City Plan
ner Robert Plavnick who is re-
signing effective May 81, with
another full-time planner instead
of hiring planners on a consult
ant basis. Plavnick has been
making $4,000 year.
Modified a sewer line con-
tract with Hungerford Towne de-
velopers Donald Gingery and w.
E. Buchanan so that the city will
pay its portion of the cost con-
current with the construction in
stead of the following year. The
builders had pleaded financial
hardship and asked that the city
pay the full cost to be paid back
over a period of ten years. How
ever, the city officials would not
abandon their present policy of
not allowing front foot benefit
projects in new subdivisions.

Mrs. Werner
Backs Plan
For Carver

Action to restore budget
funds to make an integrated
vocational junior high school
out of Carver High and to
turn Lincoln Junior high
school into a warehouse could
be initiated by the Montgom-
cry County School Board.
Almost $754,0OO for these two
projects was cut from the coun-
tvs new school operation and
construction budget by the couns
ty Council.
The Council, however, has the
authority to consider supplement
tai appropriations requests be-
fore July 1, the start of the new
fiscal year.
Two Supported
Councilwoman Stella B. Wern-
er Tuesday said she would be in
favor of such action by the
School Board. Mrs. Werner and
Councilman J. Grahame Walker
were the only two members of
the Council in favor of keeping
funds. for Carver and Lincoln in
the budget. Both are now Negro
schools.
The Council could hold q pub.
lie hearing on supplemental
budget items, Mrs. Werner said.
But it does not have to.
Although the budget cuts were
made by other councilmen, Mrs.
Werner denied that the cuts were

charged.
Things like the change on
projected enrolment were also

Werner said.

City officials had asked the at

However Cahoon's opinion was
that it was not possible to act

but that the Mayor and Council
could only act on the personal
property tax as a whole. The
