Among the topics being dis

Of the conference is "A Pilot

WSSC Adopts
Peak Budget;
Sewer Rate Up
Scent Rise First
Since 1853; Other
Taxes Unchanged

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission today
adopted q record $41.3 million
budget requiring a Scent in
crease in the sewer rate.
The 1861 budget, $2.2 million
more than the one for the cur
rent year, retains the water
rate Of IS cents per 1000 gal
Ions and the ad valorum tax
OF z cents per 500 assessed
valuation Of property.
The new sewer rate is 10
cents per 1000 gallons Of water
used, and will affect about 1885,
900 homes in Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties. The
increase is the first in the sewer
rate since 1858.
The new rate will cost the
average family about $3.50
more a year. The jump is due
to higher capital and operating
costs in the commissions sewer
expansion program.
The Commissioners today
also lowered the front-foot
benefit rate l cent to 90 cents
per foot. This is the rate
residents will be assessed for
water and sewer lines laid in
front Of their property during
1860.
The 93-cent rate includes
AZ cents for water lines and
81 cents for sewer. For con-
struction done in 1859 the
rates were 10 cents for water
and 81 cents for sewer lines.
Receipts from this levy are
used to redeem bonds sold to
finance water and sewer con-
struction. The ad valorum tax
finances storm drainage work.
