Conferees Deny Funds
For Airport Sewer Link

Z A $2.6 million sewage system
for the Dulles International Air
port at Chantilly. Va, was cut
from q supplemental budget
yesterday by Senate-House con-
ferees.
! Any attempt to save the
money on the floor Of the Sem
ate by its champions, Demo-
cratic Senators Bible Of Nevada
and Robertson of Virginia,
seemed doomed to fail.
They were instrumental in
winning the 500 million grant
In the Senate Appropriations
Committee. The Senate first &C.
cepted that recommendation,
despite determined opposition
In the House, mainly from Rep
'resentative Bow, Republican Of
Ohio.
Mr.. Bow convinced the House
the money should not be given
for airport facilities and even
attended the Senate appropria-
ton hearings to gauge the
strength Of support.
The money would have al
lowed airport sewage to be
piped down the Potomac River
to q point near Key Bridge
where it would be funneled
into District sewers and taken
to Blue Plains for treatment
Conferees allowed instea d
$50, 900 to build q separate
sewage treatment plant at the
airport. Treated sewage will
be channeled into Broad Run
q tributary Of the Potomac
emptying into the river above
the Districts water supply
intake.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-08-19

This kind Of treatment of
sewage from a Federal installa-
ton violates an agreement Of
county and municipal ofiicials
along the river against dis
charging any sewage into the
Potomac above the water
supply point. Senator Bible
earlier said congressional &C.
ton on the sewage question
would test the meaning of q
recently adopted Senate resolu-
ton recognizing Federal Lead
ership in Metropolitan WASH
ington development.
Conferees were understood to
have allowed money for a
Loudoun County access road
from Virginia's Route Z about
8 miles north Of the field.
