The company at present has
options from 80 per cent Of

slightly more than go per cent

Another provision would

Other restrictions added in
the revised bill include:

prohibited from condemning

owners, would return two ver..
diets, one on the basis of un.

erty. The landowner would
make his choice and If he de-
cided to sell out completely to
the company he would have
six months in which to move.
(Mr. Berry emphasized last
night that the company does
not need nor would it ask land
owners for their land and build
ings. Only underground rights
are sought.)
8. The dome Of the storage
area would have to be at least
1000 feet instead OF 800 feet
below ground.
4. Besides the approval of
the four other State agencies
the company also would have
to get a go-ahead from the
Public Service Commission be-
fore it could use the UNDER
ground reservoir.
5. The company could store
gas only for use by customers
in the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area.
| tMr. Berry said there was
absolutely no truth" in rumors
that the reservoir will serve
areas outside the Washington
Metropolitan Area.
6. The company would be
taxed on the value of the Stor-
age area and above-ground IA
cilitieS as well as the stored
gas, increasing the annual rev.
enue to the county from $780,.
600 to in excess of 100000.

measure passed two years ago

gentleman $40. Proceeds
were to aid soldiers wounded
in the Civil War, then draw
ing to a close. At that time
the building had a huge
stone staircase, seemingly as
large as the one in front of
the Supreme Court. 1t was
removed in order to widen F
street.
The account in the Ma
tlonal Intelligencer the next
day began: THE guests en-
tered by the F street portico,
which was brilliantly illumi-
mated, giving the assembled
multitude an opportunity to
catch glimpses Of fairy forms
and brilliant costumes"
The President and his

Board and the Department Of
Mines, Geology and Natural
Resources, as at present, but
also by the State Board OF
Health and the Bureau Of

If gas leaks develop in the
wells Of the reservoir the COM
pany would have to remove all

Maximum Safety
Delegation Chairman Lans-
dale G. Sasscer, jr., said the
two bills are aimed at providing
maximum safety and protec-
ton Of landowners rights.
The delegation tentatively
has set a hearing on the bill
for 8 pm. March 10 in the
House chamber here.
The gas storage bill is one of
the hottest issues the delega-
ton faces this year.
The delegation already has
answered some $50 letters from
persons favoring the condem-
nation law compared with II
sent in opposition to it. In ad-
dition the delegation has re-
ceived petitions signed by more
than 1000 persons supporting
the gas storage project which
will help the company buy gas
In off-season periods and save
money.
The four departments would
have to find that the wells of
the underground storage area
were leakproof.
Oscar Berry, counsel for the
gas company, said that the
proposals as outlined infor-
mally appeared restrictive, -
but added that the company
had not yet examined them in
detail.

withhold comment as to
whether the company could
proceed with its plan to store

Dairy is acting legally when IL
imports and processes milk not
inspected by the District but
which is sold only in Mary
land, Corporation Counsel Ches-
ter H. Gray ruled yesterday.
He informed the District
Commissioners that 1854 de-
cision by the United States
Court of Appeals for the Dis
triet of. Columbia makes it
futile" for the city heads to
attempt any court action to stop
the dairy on the basis Of milk
sanitation laws in force here.
There is no point in bring
ing suit against the dairy Mr..
Gray said. The commissioners,
he said. are limited to hating
the sale of milk here that is
not approved by District health
authorities.
Coop Briefs Asked
However, the city heads, after
a lengthy conference with
spokesman for the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Asso-
citation at the District Building,
asked that briefs be submitted
for their further study Of the
legal questions involved. The
farmers group had asked for
court action.
Chestnut Farms this week
started processing milk APP
proved for Maryland consump-
ton but not meeting District
inspection requirements in a
move to exert economic pres
sure" on the cooperative.
Sealtest, joined by Thomp-
sons Dairy, has urged farmers
to sell directly to it instead
of through the coop. The
distributors claim the co-op's
price for milk is "abnormally
high"
+ Commissioner Robert E, Mac
Laughlin said a draft of a
'srub - = str nm con-
sideration which would require
that all District-approved milk

Hearing Undecided
He said there has been no
determination yet on requests
from both sides for public hear
ings to air the entire dispute.
The fight started when the
diaries urged "modernization"
of what they termed were out
NODDED milk rules in force here.
Mr.. Mclaughlin added that
the Commissioners will proceed
on the assumption that Sealtest
is acting legally. He added that
legal brief had been requested
earlier from Sealtest and argu-
ments of both sides will be fully
studied.
Chestnut Farms has been
processing about 5000 gallons
of milk brought here from
Pennsylvania daily since Tues
day and selling it only in Mary
land.
The processing operations
have been kept separate at the
Washington plant and District
health authorities say they have
been assured none Of it is being
mixed with milk to be sold
here.
