Opening Of the new Bladens-
burg Marina, to be dedicated
tomorrow, certainly helps to
alleviate the boat parking prob
lem but already there are more
requests than berths.
Nevertheless, it was said at
the office of the Washington
Suburban Society Commission
that applications still are being
accepted at the Marina Office
because many of those on file
may not be for the size slips
available.
The marina currently has
lat slips for boats from IA feet
to IS. Money has been appro-
priated to add another 143,
which should be ready by next
summer, the commission added.
The Sanitary Commission
yesterday announced the ma
rina will be operated by Boat
Super Market, Inc, Of 500 H
street NE. The firm will pay
a rent of $4,000 annually at
first and $4,000 a year later
when the lat boat slips are
increased to 200.
The company also will pay
the commission a percentage
Of its gross receipts. The lessee
is expected to erect a building
containing boat sales and Serv-
ice facilities and a snack bar.
The BladenSburg Marina is
one Of more than 20 major
marinas that have opened In
various parts Of the country

tional Association Of Engine
and Boat Manufacturers, said
