other suburban facilities.
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission does not
have the sole responsibility for
storm drainage In the bi-county
Suburban District. Other agen-
cies such as the County Govern
ments, municipalities and the
State Roads Commission, also
initiate or participate in storm
drainage projects.
However, the WSSC functions
In this field are very important
to the development of both
counties.
Two Roles Assigned
Some years ago, the Mary
land General Assembly gave
the Commission two basic storm
drainage roles:
I'd The responsibility for re-
view and approval of all storm
drainage plans within the Sub
urban District. This, in effect,
gives the WSSC the opportun.
ity to make sure that such plans
are engineeringly correct and
that the best interests of the
community will be served by
each project.
(2) The authority to, from
time to time, issue storm drain
age bonds for a limited pro.
gram of construction, either en-.
tirely by the WSSC or in COOP
Grafton with other local agen.
cies and developers.
Agencies Cooperate
Since storm drainage funds
are limited and trouble spots
are numerous in both counties,
the Commission cooperates with
County and municipal govern
ments in determining what
projects should receive priority.
Frequent meetings are held
with governmental officials to
review and discuss the status of
important storm drainage prof.
ects.
1t should be noted that, al.
though the WSSC assists with
the planning of storm drainage
work with local agencies and
developers, the Commission has
no authority to require storm
drainage construction. All OF
the agency's storm drainage
projects, except those carried
out in conjunction with other
agencies or developers, are ap.
proved after public hearings
have been held.

the Builders Economic Coun-
Gil of the National ASsocia-

In addition, the survey
found that home builders are

houses. The floor area of the
''median" home has been
increased. and the shift from
one bath to one and one-half
baths is continuing.
The survey gets answers on
economic and housing con-

builders who construct about

The survey also confirmed
earlier predictions of about
a 10 per cent decline in home

The median sales price of
1850 homes reported in the
survey was $14,900-the same
figure reported last year.
However, between the two
years the cost Of finished"

the average floor area of the
