Soft Sewer
Near Collapse
0nEast Side
Reinforcing Work
To. Divert Sewage
Into Anucostiu
BY CHARLES D. PIERCE
star stan Writer

The District government Is
about to make q major effort
to prevent one Of the city's
main sewer lines from collap-
sing and pouring vast quanti-
ties Of raw sewage into the
Anacostia River.
Roy L. Orndorff. deputy di-
rector of the Department Of
Sanitary Engineering, said yes
terday that the old East Side
interceptor sewer already has
fallen in In tow places and ia
buckling in other sections.
He explained that the mortar
in this old six-foot- diameter
brick sewer has gone soft" b
q two-mile section for some
reason the department has not
been able to determine. This
trunk line now receives sewage
from about % per cent Of the
Districts area. mostly In
Northeast.
$516,S75 Is Bid e
An apparent low bid OF
$516,875 was submitted last
week by Joseph A. McCollum
Inc, Of Marlton. N. j., to rein.
force this sewer with steel and
concrete In the weak spots
Mr.. Orndorh said repairing thu
sewer is far cheaper thar
building a new one at an esti.
mated cost of IS million.
The condition >of this sewer
built between 1899 and 1902
sort Of scares u.s." Mr.. Orn.
dorh said.
He said the mortar Is now S(
soft in many sections that {
ruler can be stuck into it. II
other. parts, bricks have faller
out Of the sewer roof.
A contract for repair should
be let so that the work can bt
done this winter, Mr.. Orndorf
said. He explained that while
the reinforcing work is being
done, some of the raw sewage
will have to be diverted into the
river for q brief time.
UnthinkabIe In Summer
'It would be unthinkable II
put raw sewage into the Ana.
lcostiat River during the summeI
months" he said. He addet
that this river is % relativel!
stagnant body Of water"
The approximately two-mil
stretch Of sewer in danger o
collapsing runs from the mali
sewage pumping station at Ney
Jersey avenue and N streets Sc
generally along M street ant
follows the river north to tn
National Guard Armory area.
aGr. ofIdctR said the Aewe
is considered ''middle-aged,
since some District sewers ar
more than a century old.
However, he said, no sucl
extensive softening Of the NOR
tar has been found in othel
sewers.

Mclaughlin
Fuvors Urban
Department

The District will be "vulner-
able" to criticism if it does not
set up a separate department
on urban renewal, Commis-
sioner Robert E. Mclaughlin
said last night.
In a broadcast over Radio
Station WWDC, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said he did not favor
realigning the various urban
renewal agencies but did feel a
top flight" person should be
hired by the District to CO.
ordinate the urban renewal
and housing operations Of city
departments.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the
man he had In mind would
report to all three District
Commissioners, in contrast to
the present urban renewal CO.
ordinator, who is under the
Engineer Commissioner. He
compared the post he envi-
stoned with that held by
Schuyler Lowe, the Districts
director Of public administra-
ton. ~
But Engineer Commissioner
Frederick j. Clarke said he did
not agree that creation of an
other agency in the District
would solve the problems of
urban renewal. We have got to
find a way Of working out our
problems within the present
framework" =
Col. Clarke said he never
considered the present urban
renewal co-ordinator, Thomas
K. Fullerton, as working for
him solely anyhow but for the
whole Board of Commissioners.
So setting up a separate ur-
ban renewal department, Col
Clarke said, would not add
anything unless the director
took away power from some
of the other departments and
this course would cause all
kinds of problems"
Reporting to the Board OF
Commissioners rather than one
person, Mr.. Mclaughlin con-
tended, would give the urban
renewal administrator "quite a
mantle of authority" He dis
agreed with a suggestion that
such an administrator merely
would have to get permission
to do something from three
bosses rather than one.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he had
no one in mind for the job and
assumed it would take an ap-
preparation from Congress tc
finance the position. He Saio
the job should be a Grade 16
which has a salary range oi
$14,190 to $15,150.

Bu6 now IL looks aS II Tile
waterfront plan drawn by Mrs
Chloethiel Smith. q Washing
ton architect, will prevail.
John r. Searles, jr.. executive
director Of. the Redevelopment
Land Agency. which viii decide
how to rebuild the waterfront
said yesterday his stan has
accepted the principal features
Of Mrs. Smiths plan.
In contrast to the RLA's ides
of elevating Maine avenue along
the waterfront, Mrs. Smiths
plan calls for keeping the ave.
niue at grade so the view Of the
water will not be blocked. Also
her design features q public
promenade so feet wide al
along the water between Four
teenth street S.W. and For
McNair.
Wants Large PIaZas
The mile Of waterfront alsC
would have large public, plaza'
at regular intervals where chill.
dren could play and grown
folks could sit and watch th'
boats glide by. 49,
Mr.. SearleS said the RI
staff has agreed to all thes'
features. He said leaving Main'
avenue at grade will be cheape
and the room that would b
gained by elevating It. can b,
made up by extending tn
bulkhead along the waterfrcn
out another 100 feet.
Right now, the RIA is wait
ing for the District to transfe
the waterfront land to tn
agency and to clear a lette
asking the Army Engineers t
extend the bulkhead. Nj
Searles said the bulkhead eX
tension will cost a little unde
81 million and take about /
months to accomplish.
Still a major question, how
ever, is who will do the actus
rebuilding Of the waterfron
once the Smith design is ON
cially accepted. Earlier this yea
the RIA interviewed i've pros
Ipective developers.
Wants Area Divided
Mr.. Searles said the agenc,
now must reapproach them an
determine II they are still in
terested in redeveloping tn
waterfront according to Mrs
Smiths plan. Phillips Petrol
cum Co. appears to have tn
edge among the prospective,
redeveloperS.
An alternative to turning tn,
waterfront over to one develop
er would be to divide the prop
erty into lots and specify tn,
type Of buildings to be con
structed there. Mrs. Smith her
self likes this idea best.
"The waterfront is the mos
precious piece of land in Wash
ington," she said. 1T would b.
an easy thing to market ono,
you have q cohesive type idea
|. This waterfront can b.
terrific. I don't care who buy
it, it will be the very best blu!
they ever made"
Despite the widespread ap
