These commitments with the
District of Columbia, plus the
other required major projects
scheduled by the Commission,
are expected to result in a
record $5.S8 million capital out
lay for sewerage system i'm
provements in 1861.
First In Z Years
The sewer use charge hike
represents the first real change
in the WSSC's water-sewer use
charge schedule since 1858. The
combination of water (25c) and
sewer (16c) rates has totaled Al
cents since 1853, and the Com
mission pointed out that this
is an unusually long period to
be able to sustain a rate in the
face of increased cost in the
economy as a whole"
A capital construction pro-
gram totaling $24.2 million is
included in the 1861 Budget. The
breakdown of cost in this cate
CORY is $7.62 million for general

projects, $5.88 million; major

The budget Is expected to
necessitate the placement of SIS
million worth of WSSC bonds

In transmitting the budget to
the Commission, WSSC Treas
urer James J. Lynch pointed out
that "the 1861 Budget shows
further progress in spelling out
what the taxpayer will receive
in terms Of performance, in
terms of new service facilities
and the like during the 1861
year. The budget reflects the eff
forts of the Commission toward
programming its functions in
order to present a realistic pic
ture to the public of the accom-
plishments and costs of operat-
ing the WSSC."
In terms of performance, the
budget anticipates the following
in 1861: construction of 60 miles
of water mains and S. miles of
sewer lines, installation of $500
water house connections and
$500 sewer house connections,
filtered water production total
ing 1925 billion gallons, prepar-
alton of 100000 water bills, and
construction of five miles of
storm drains.
Population served by WSSC
facilities by the end Of 1861 is
expected to be well over the
100000 mark.

Three Cent Increase in Se1uer-Use
Rate Proposed in WSSC Budget

A $41.1 million 1861
budget has been proposed by
the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission.
The total represents a
boost of about 81 million over
the budget figure approved for
1860, with most of the increase
resulting from capital construc-
ton of major water supply and
sewage disposal facilities.
A public hearing on the pro-
posal was set today for Tues
day, December 81, at 8 pm. in
the Commission Meeting Room,
4017 Hamilton Street, Hyatts-
vile, Md.
Contemplated in the 1861
budget computation is an in
crease in the WSSC sewer use
charge from the current rate of
is cents to 10 cents per 1000
gallons.
No change is planned in the
water use charge of Is cents per
1000 gallons. Revision of refuse
collection and disposal fees, pre-
dicted earlier this year, will not
be made pending completion of
staff studies now taking place.
Increase Explained
The three-cent boost in the
sewer use charge is made neces-
sary by increased capital and
operating costs involved in the
WSSC's program of sewage dis
posal cooperation with the Dis
trict of Columbia and continual
ton of the Commissions expan-
sion program to assure that pol
luton problems will not occur
in growing areas in suburban
Maryland, officials of the agen-
cy said.
Most sewage collected in the
WSSC area is channelled
through trunk sewers to the
District of Columbia's system
for ultimate treatment at the
Blue Plains Plant. BY agree
ment, the WSSC pays the Dis
trict of Columbia a disposal
charge based on metered vol
ume of sewage processed and
also pays its proportionate
share Of capital projects to aug
ment or enlarge facilities in the

Better Homes
In Demand
By Buyers

Better priced homes continue
to offer a "higher than aver
age return" as an investment
for the home buyer or the small
investor, according to Marvin
w. Simmons, chairman of the,
Washington Area r altors
Council.
Simmons, former president
Of the Montgomery County Real
Estate Board, was quoted in a.
dispatch from Dallas, Tex.
where he was one of IL local
realtors attending the 53rd an
nual convention of the National
Association of Real Estate
Boards, earlier this week.
There seems to be general
agreement that the demand for
homes, better ones In par
ticular, continues to be keen,
although it has been blunted to
some extent by tight money"
he declared. q
Realtors attending the meet
ing were in agreement that re-
cent changes In the federal tax
law will encourage the formal
ton of real estate investment
trusts that will offer participat.
ing shares to the public.
According to Mr.. Simmons
statement, the shares made
available through such trusts
will frequently offer the public
the opportunity to get a higher
than average yield on their In
vestment.
