To Double city's Population
April Start On Watts Branch
Sewer Predicted by Officials

Opening up of 1000 acres
west of Rockville that will
ultimately contain a popula-
ton of 26,800 people - the
city's pre- S e n t population
figure - was predicted thi S
week with approval by the Fed
eral Government of the long.
planed Watts Branch sewer
line.
Permission to construct the
sewer spurred city officials to
shoot for start of construction
early in April.
City Hall was advised Mon
day that the U. S. Public Health
Service approved the project
and earmarked S143,613 toward
its construction. Automatic
matching State funds bring
construction grant money TO
$2S7 ,236.
The city already has $685., 900
for the Watts Branch sewer in
its budget, making the total
available to 1922, 900. Estimated
cost of the trunk line is S710,.
600 thereby leaving comfort
able cushion for emergencies.
When completed by late April,
1861, the line will throw open
the whole western section of the
city to new development and
provide much needed relief
from septic tank headaches to
residents Of Beall, Anderson and
Carr ayes.

Meanwhile, a southern spur

All these new buildings could
drain into the new sewer line,
but no final decision has been
reached, according to City Man

the Committee told Mayor
Greene and the City Council.
D. c. Transit officials told the
committee, Rosignol said, of
plans to merge the two lines
serving Rockville from Silver
Spring and Bethesda, and int.
CRATE them with an eventual
suburban county system.
"As the proposed merger of
the two lines now stands" Ros.
ignol said, ut is only a matter
of time. The only real problem
is to receive the permission
from the regulatory bodies (Dis.
trict Public Utilities Commits
sion, Maryland Public Service
Commission"
Although D. c. Transit au.
thorities pointed out some Rock
vile streets may not be able
to withstand the weight of big
ger buses on proposed future
routes, Rosignols committee
urged creation of an express
line that would:
. Start from the Civic Cen
ter.
Use either Veirs Mill I'd. or
Rockville Pike enroute to the
District.
. Not discharge passengers
until reaching major transfer
points beyond Rockville city
limits.
. Operate in the evening
along the same routes, in re-
verse.
. Have a special fare for the
extra service.
The traffic committee urged
that the Mayor and City Coun-
ell assist the D. c Transit Co.
In clearing away any problems
that might arise with or before
the two regulatory bodies so far
as Rockville was concerned.
D. C. Transit officials pointed
out, meanwhile, that hearings
before the Maryland Public
Service Commission are held in
Baltimore, and that because of
the distance involved, many is.
sues, such as the one envisioned,
receive little local support.
Also, they said, suburbanites
have exhibited a tendency to
use autos instead of buses and
therefore, expansion of bus sys-
TENS might be long in coming.

Earth TrenOrs Jar San Juan Island Area

SEATTLE, tR - A sharp earth quake jared an area reaching from Victoria, B. C., to Seattle Friday night, but apparently did no major damage.
 The first shock occurred at 1925 pm. and lasted about two minutes. Dr. Frank Neumann, University of Washington seis- mologist, said the quake registered about six on the Mercali scale of 12.
 Neumann said the temblor oc- cured about 75 or 80 miles north of Seattle, probably in the San Juan Islands area where there are several major faults.
 The only damage, according to police reports, was broken win dows at Port Angeles and Marys- vile.

Eisenhower Voice In Summit Meet Will Be Strong
By JOHN ScALI

NEW DELHI, India, R - Pres ident Eisenhower triumphal tour of Asia powerfully strengthens his voice for the East West sum- init conference with Premier Mi kita Khrushchev.
 Eisenhower can sit down at the conference table backed by the cheers of millions of Asians who regard him as a symbol of peace with freedom.
 Khrushchev will be facing a man who is proving to be his superior in appealing to Asia's teaming, underfed masses as a champion of their aspirations.
 The hysterical, sometimes wor- shipful, reception in Turkey. Pax istan, Afghanistan and India also may stimulate Eisenhower to ex- ert more leadership at the Vest ern summit session, opening in Paris December 19, which begins shaping the Vests negotiating position.
 The diplomatic showdown with Khrushchev comes later, perhaps in April
 The frenzied reaction by 112 million Indians last Wednesday stands out as a high point in the first wek of Eisenhower's unprece- dented goodwill trip.
 Eisenhower and his top aides have been flabbergasted by the crowds which seemed to grow bigger and more deliriously en- thusiastic at each stop.
 Even before setting out, Eisen- hover said he felt it his duty to make the tour because his name meant something in these areas and it might help in the quest for an enduring peace. The President was undertaking.
 In each country he has visited, the government has directly or indirectly encouraged the people to show they like Ike. But the fervor of spectators and the ob- vious sincerity of their cheers show the majority would have turned out anyhow.
 In the displays of public enthu- siasm, these factors appear to stand out:
 l. Eisenhower, the man, has an
The Nome nugget., 1959-12-14

international asset that Khrush- chev can't match, his personality.
 2. Eisenhower comes at a time when these peoples are linked in a common fear of Communism - either the Soviet or Red Chinese variety. Eisenhower is regarded as the symbol of a powerful friend and potential partner in battle against aggression.

How Borough Wise Are We?

HOW DOTOuSA W ISO AFC we. TyHE COMMITTEE on Local Government of the IA Alaska Constitutional Convention (and, subse- quently, the Convention itself) sought to provide maximum of self government to the people in all parts of Alaska To meet this goal two basic local govern ment units were established - boroughs and cities. This framework is designed to accomodate today's needs and tomorrow's growth
 Much fun has been made of the word Thorough" which intermediate organization for local government purposes, and which adopted after many names were reviewed, in effort to avoid such terms County.
 Underlying the local government system is the desire for self government which under the borough and city government home rule charters, may be secured The system prevents overlapping of tax authority is flexible to include different things in different boroughs the need arises and allows boundary changes
 Many of the bQroughs in the State will have no cities. Boroughs will have control over the in- ternal affairs of the city. Any city arrange to have any of it's functions performed by the borough
 Nome will stil lhave the City Council, but there will be borough or area council also whose juris diction will be Nome Teller, Kougarok, Solomon, Golovin, etc. U or whatever the boundaries of the Nome borough will be.
 The hearing in Nome tomorrow should help de- eide just what should constitute the Nome borough If the people here reluctant make that decison then it will be up to the Boundary Commission to set the boundary The borough they establish will elect assembly or board with authority of many kinds, including such things schools health service police protection recording, and all other things relating to the economic, social and political interests
 Regions in Alaska vary widely in size and density of population of transportation and financial ability to support local government Classification of borough will be established with each defined first second or third class borough
 The borough is here to stay, but what makes up area borough depends on those people who attend the meeting Tuesday
 By now you may be thoroughly confused, and if so, you among the majority of the people, as the new state government is in high gear and is moving fast There is, however, plausible solution to problem of borough lines:
 It has been suggested by our Local Boundary Commission reresentative, Robert Scott that much of the confusion can be avoided by setting up boroughs in the pattern used for political subdivisions, which are four, and the Nome borough would be bounded by St. Mchaels, Unalakleet Kou- garok, north to Shishnaref and Cape Espenberg and include St. Lawrence Island to the southwest. This would be an unorganized borough which could be changed by legislative action into organized bor ough when the population increases sufficiently to make 1t practical
