some assistance"
The interim plan recommends
four small treatment plants.
Two plants would discharge
treated effluent into Horse Pen
Run and Difficult Run and from
there into the Potomac. Two
more plants would dump
treated effluent into Cub Run
and Rocky Run, which flow
into Occoquan.
These plants and pipelines
for them would cost SIS million.
A later stage in the interim
plan would eliminate one of
the plants that would flow into
the river.
Alternate Proposal
The cheapest alternative to
the SIS million interim plan
would be sewer line con-
nection to a treatment plant
below the Potomac water sup
ply intake, Mrs. wilkins said.
This would cost $4.8 million,
she declared, and would serve
only half the area that would
be taken in under the interim
plan.
Representative Bow, Repub-
lican of Ohio, has proposed a
Potomac interceptor sewer
which would go PARKWAY along
Difficult Run, and discharge
treated effluent below the Dis
said such an interceptor sewer
would not take care of the area
in the county that needs sewers.
The Federal Aviation Agency
has proposed construction of a
small sewage treatment plant
that would take care only Of
the airport. President Eisen-
hover asked that the whole
project be reconsidered. A new
report on airport sewage is ex-
pected soon, Mrs. wilkins said.

The interim plan was de-
veloped for the county by the

surrounding the Dulles Inter-

County Hard Pressed
The fast-growing county has
been hard pressed for adequate
sewer facilities ever since the
rush to the suburbs began.
One of the biggest drawbacks
to residential or industrial de-
velopment in some sections of
the county has been the lack
of sewer facilities.
The county has attempted to
hold back the tide of develop
ment to some extent in the
western section of the county
because Of the sewer problem,
Much of the western section
lies above the District water
intake.
With the expected boom
from the Dulles Airport in the
western part of the county,
Fairfax has been searching
desperately for some plan that
would provide sewers.
The county had hoped the
Federal Government would
agree to a joint plan that
would provide adequate sewers
for the airport and surround
ing area but those hopes have
been unrealized so far.
The county heretofore has
tried to avoid dumping sewage
into the Potomac above the

P. u. c. Staff Examines
25c ronsit Fare Plea
BY GILBERT GIMBLE
Star STAFF Writer

The Public Utilities today began studies
of D. c. Transit figures which the company plea
for 25-cent fare
The P. u yesterday continued hearing the proposed
fare increase until December following lengthy analysis
Evening star., 1959-11-25

The new buses will be put into
service as gradual conversion
from a streetcar operation
takes place.
On the other hand, Mr..
Flanagan testified, if the
P. U.C. grants the fare in
creases as sought the company
would make these profits:
With a 25-cent fare appli-
cable only during rush hours,
to be effective Immediately, the
1860 net operating income is
estimated at about 81 million.
In 1861, when the 25-cent
fare rise would be applied for
the full day. the figure is ex-
pected to reach $1.3 million
and in 1862 drop to about
100000.
Depreciation to Jump
Mr.. Flanagan said the esti-
mates include an increase in
the company's depreciation
cost amounting to some $685.
900 a year. This amount, he
said, represents added deprecia-
ton costs the company will
charge against total operating
revenue as though it were hold
ing on to Streetcar and rail
properties which in fact will
be replaced by the conversion
to bus operation. The conver-
sion is scheduled to be COM
pleted by 1868.
He said the additional de-
probation costs should be al
lowed even though the depreci-
able property is to be elm
mated.
But should the PUG disagree
with the company's claim that
the 1854, 900 should be added to
costs, it would mean Mr.. Flan-
agan'S estimates of company
profits are too low.
Consequently the question Of
how much depreciation the
company should be allowed is
expected to be a key issue in
the fight for a fare increase.
Mr.. Flanagan strongly urged
the PUG to switch to a different
profit fixing formula. Under the
present system if the net oper-
ating income figure amounts to
6.5 per cent of its rate base,
D. C. Transit is then considered
to be receiving a fair return.
The rate base is about $14 mil
lion, the value of its tangible
property.
The company now wants the
operating ratio formula used
which would allow a return of
up to 6.5 per cent of it's gross
operating revenue $26.5 mil
lion.
The company showed a net
operating income for the past
year of more than 81 million,
amounting to slightly above 7
per cent of its rate base.
The franchise granted by
Congress says the company
should be given the "oppor-
tunity" to earn at least SIS per
cent Of whichever base is used.

Broader Tax

BALTIMORE, Nov. Sex
pansion of Maryland's sales tax

elusive was urged today to help
finance a SIS million teacher
pay raise proposal.
The extended sales tax cover
age was proposed by Mrs. Edna
P. Cook, member of the House
of Delegates from Montgomery
County.
Her plan came as the Legisla-
tive Council wound up a hear
ing on proposals for increases
in both teacher and State en-
ploye pay.
Senator William S. James
Democrat of Hartford County,
told the council that it would
cost the State $50 million to
meet demands of the Maryland
State Teachers Association and
the Maryland Classified En-
ployes Association.
Even using surplus to get the
program underway would mean
the State would have to find
SIT million in new revenues
when it meets in 1861, Senator
James warned.
$500 Raise Sought
The te cher association
backed by the Maryland Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers
wants an $500 increase in State
minimum salaries. The groups
proposal calls for raising the
present $3.2OO-$5,OOO scale to
$4,000 to $4,000.
Senator James headed a COM
mittee which proposed a $500
increase for career teachers
with 10 years experience. The
proposal would cost between 81
million and IS million.

Rockville stands a good

But he estimated a city force Of

New Plan
Under Trial
By Students

Clearwater 3.26S2

Damascus senior English stu
dents are taking part in an inter-
esting and individualized English
grammar program this year UNI
der the direction of their teacher,
Charles c. Parker. AS a part of
his work for his masters degree,
Mr.. Parker has devised a progress
sive unit type of program which
recognizes the difference in the
levels of student abilities and has
correlated these units to the basic
textbook chapters to best correct
student weaknesses. Using these
units each student could advance
at his own rate of achievement.
At the end of each unit the stu
dent was tested; test results were
analysed and corrective work on
shown weaknesses was given.
The program shows promise of
real results as is evidenced by the
fact that In the Ohio Scholarship
Tests in English Usage given at
the beginning of the year and
again four months later the per-
GENTLE median for the entire class
showed a 20 to 30 percent in
crease in knowledge gained over
the four-month period.

Church will sponsor Christian

I'm sure you can tell without

mother to arrange a small party

guests? A wise girl, at any

be phony. Keep yourself neat,

be well-grOOmed. And above all,
don't be a loudmouth or show

choices in males so quickly,
Last of all, Don't discuss your
heart throbs with too many
girls. If they tease the young
man or carry back tales of
your interest, this will scare
him, too. Last of all, don't rush
