Roads and Virginia TO improve
the highways in the interstate
system have begged down for
the last two years. he said.
In March. the Virginia High
way Commission announced
that the State had to forfeit
S18 million in Federal road
funds because 1t could not put
up s2.6 million in State funds.
1T does not appear reason
able that valid negotiations
could still be in process for
Virginia to perform the work
under a 90 per cent Federal,
10 per cent State financing
system, in the light Of these
circumstances" Mr.. Broyhill
wrote Mr.. Strauss.
He reminded the Secretary
that the bureau had first rec
commended in 1854 that the
Pentagon and Shirley nigh
ways be repaired and trans
ferred ITO the State. Virginia
agreed to maintain the net
work at an estimated annual
cost Of $1,000.
Cites Cost in Delay
The fiye-year delay in this
transfer already has cost the
Federal treasury $685. 900 in
maintenance" Mr.. Broyhill
said. While the immediate costs
to the Federal government are
conservative. Mr.. Broyhill en-
phasized the long-range econ
omies of Federal improvement
now and Virginia maintenance
later.
A bill recommending Penta-
gon- Shirley legislation was
sent by the Secretary of Com
merce to Congress on April is
1856. Spokesman for the Army
Commerce Department. the
Virginia Department Of High
ways and the District govern
ment all agreed at hearings
July II. 1856, that the legisla-
ton was desirable.
But Mr.. Broyhill noted that
the bill did not become law
that year because Of the short
period remaining in the ses-
sion. Again on February 20
1887. a similar bill was intro
duced by Representative Fall
Ion, Democrat of Maryland.
Mr.. Fallon planned action
but the Commerce Department
requested a delay, Mr.. Broyhill
said in his letter.

cost 1894 for new schools next
year.
The board also approved a
recommendation to pay $114.-
885 for a 20.5-acre intermediate
school site on the Chiles tract
on Arlington boulevard at
Broyhill Park.
Assistant Supt. George Pope
said it was the highest per-
acre price the school board
ever has paid for a new site.
The price was set in con-
domination proceedings. Board
member c. Turner Hudgins said
he was mot alarmed at the
price" because adjacent land
costs much more.
In other action. the board
voted to sell ATS acres of land
at Fairfax Circle to the county
park authority for $3.50, the
price the board paid for it. The
land originally was acquired
for a school site, but the board
found later that it did moi
need it.
The board agreed to match
$24.500 In Federal funds under
the National Defense Educa-
tional Act for equipment fol
science, mathematics and for
eign language teaching.

take over the roads from the
Federal Government.
And hearings opened before
the House Public Works COM
mittee on bills to give the Dis
trict sS.4 million, Maryland
1884 million and Virginia
1862 million. The money would
be the 90 per cent Federal
share Of costs Of roads incor-
porated into the interstate sys-
tenn since the 1856 Highway
Act.
Mr.. Strauss sent Undersecre-
tary Frederick H. Mueller to
oppose the legislation calling
for the Federal reimbursements
to every State. as well as the
District.
Drain on Funds Cited
The Federal Government
simply can't afford reimburse
ments now. Mr.. Mueller
warned. The payments would
deplete funds needed for con-
struction, and halt planning
this year for any interstate
projects in fiscal 1861. he said.
In the District, this would
mean that planning for the
lnnerloop highway would come
to a standstill. Current SPEND
ing in the District on the in
terstate program is $13.4 mil
lion annually.
Commerce cannot allocate
highway funds after July l
anyway. under present law. An
amendment sponsored by Sem
ator Byrd. Democrat of Vir-
ginia, and effective on that
date. prohibits Federal SPEND
ing for highways If a deficit
exists in the highway trust
fund.
This fund to finance the IN
terstate program is expected to
carry a $241 million deficit
by the end of this fiscal year.
Tax Rise Unpassed
President Eisenhower has
asked Congress, so far to no
avail. for a ia cent per gallon
increase in the Federal gaso-
line tax to put the fund back
into the black.

If you are seeking ways to beat the
heat, and the tensions of busting suburbia,
you need look no farther than your own
property.
For know it or not, you are part
owner of two vast Fairgrounds containing
1900 acres of water, 5000 acres of rolling
countryside dotted with some 100000
evergreens, and 81 acres of picnic groves
and boat moorings.
These are the inviting charms of
Tridelphia and Rocky Gorge reservoirs in
stalled along the Patuxent River by the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion at the cost of more than S. million.
They are available to Montgomery
Countians merely for the driving = about
20 minutes worth from the center of the
county to Tridelphia, and about As
minutes to Rocky Gorge: From many
parts of the county, of course, the dis
tances are even less.
Tridelphia Lake spans IT'S acres of
water backed up for distance of about
81 miles behind Brighton Dam, which
was completed at cost of $2.3 million in
1913.
The dam itself is located few miles
east of Brookeville, but some of the most
extensive picnic and fishing facilities are
concentrated around the upper reaches of
the lake northeast of Sunshine, just off
State Routes 81 and 116.

COunty,,s.2s.B Big Reservoirs

Rocky Gorge Reservoir, like Tridel-
phia, is about 51a miles long, with its 80
acres straddling the point at which Mont
Counties converge. The dam itself is
situated just west of Laurel and was COM
pleted in 1854 at cost of So million.
Principal fishing area at Rocky Gorge
is on the Montgomery side north of Bur-
louisville and can be reached on the new
US. Highway %. Picnicking and more
fishing facilities are available at the lakes
northernmost point in Howard County.
All these public benefits came about
because the commissioners of the WSSC,
back in the late 1905, conceived of the
plan of tapping the Patuxent River as the
main water supply for the growing subur-
ban area.
At that time, strange as it seems, the
entire suburban water supply came from
relatively tiny Burnt Mills Reservoir of
the Northwest Branch at Colesville I'd.
Even with the installation of the
Mink Hollow pumping station near Ashton
in the late 30's, to bring additional water
from the Patuxent to the Burnt Mills Dam,
the output of Burnt Mills filtration plant
was and is only about II million gallons
a day. By contrast, the PatuXent Filtra-
ton Plant near Laurel put out 65 million
gallons day of water from Brighton and
Rocky Gorge dams.)

Mr.. Bleyer, there were the
