Storm Drain Peril Concerns
SuitIund Area Residents

Residents of a Suitland (Md.)
subdivision are wondering if
there is any remedy for keep
ing youngsters out of storm
drains.
The problem was brought
home to dwellers of Crosier
Gardens on Friday when jim
my Hayden, 4. was watching
two feet of rain water rush
along a ditch and through a
pipe about one block from his
home.
Sitting on the bank with his
brother, Danny. S, the younger
boy suddenly slipped into the
water and was swept with the
current through the 200-foot
long pipe about four feet in
diameter.
A passerby picked him up at
the other end. Jimmy's moth

has bruises on his bottom.
Mrs. Hayden, who has an
other son, Z, and three daugh-
ters, ages eight months, three
and nine years. thinks "some-
thing ought to be done" about
the storm drain.
The drain pipe opening has
an iron cover that opens when
enough water pressure builds
up. The rain fell hard enough
Friday to force the cover open
TO let the water through--and
Jimmy.
A spokesman for the Prince
Georges County Public Works
Department said covers and
gratings are not practical in
some cases because they tend
to catch tree limbs and other
debris which all but seals OF

sons, and all other powers now
exercised Independently by the

The creation Of an authority

ton from watermen represent
ing Southern Maryland.
Support Not Definite
Delegates John T. Parran
and j. Frank Raley jr., Dem
ocrats Of Charles and st.
Mary's Counties, respectively,
expressed interest in the
authority. Neither, however,
voiced complete support Of the
: idea.
The two were sponsors Of a
law enacted by the Maryland
Assembly in 1857 abrogating
the compact of 1785 which
gave Virginians equal fishing
rights in the Maryland-owned
Potomac.
q Robert T. Barbour, repre-
senting Charles County oyster
men appealed for equality Of
: treatment of Maryland and
Virginia watermen and uni
formity in laws.
Virginia Laws Lax
At present. Virginia laws
generally speaking are more
lax than Maryland regulations
governing fishing and oyster
ing in the river.
Mr.. Barbour and other Mary
land spokesmen indicated they
would like to see Maryland law
exclusively applicable to the
Potomac.

he felt that If such programs
could not be financed publicly
then private leasing should be
permitted.
A. Russell Henderson, head
of the oystermen's benefit as
sociation Of Lancaster County
Va. expressed bitter opposition
to a private leasing program.
Il would rather be put under
fire and yoke" Mr.. Henderson
said.
Mr.. Henderson made q plea
for the opening Of the Potomac
to patent tonging.
Oysters Are Dying
He agreed with Senator
Harry T. Phoebus, Republican
of Somerset County, Md, that
many oysters were dying in the
river because they could not be
harvested with hand tongs,
Senator Phoebus urged that
the river be opened to new
dredging. He long has been an
advocate Of dredging with sail
boats in the Potomac. Many of
Il his constituents are sail tono-
ers.
Virginia, which in the past
has put little money into en-
forcement of river laws and vir-
tually none into conservation,
would be willing to match
Maryland's contribution If a
Joint authority is established,
Mr.. Murphy said.
Mr.. Murphy. who represents
Northern Neck counties along
the Potomac. said he felt the
pressure to open the river to
dredging was being relaxed in
Virginia.
Goes to Williamsburg
The bi-state committee will
meet informally in Williams
burg tomorrow. On Monday it
will hold a formal session at
the Williamsburg Inn.
Most feel that out Of this
series of meetings will come a
proposal for creation of a Joint
authority and establishment of
uniform laws covering the riv-
ermen's activities.
Charles County oystermen
and fishermen were at odds
over one proposal that calls
for drawing a line down the
center Of the Potomac and let
ting Virginia watermen oper-
ate their side Of the river and
Marylanders the Maryland
side.
Mr.. Barbour said the OYSTER
men would support such a
plan.
Bill Lewis. speaking for the
fishermen, opposed the pro-
posal.
