as important to us.
MR.. MADURO: Mr.. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Maduro.
MR.. MADURO: would just like to add a few
words to some OF the remarks made here.
/ would like to say, first of all, that / personally feel
that in addition to the talk about the urinal situation in
French Town, feel that we have just as bad, a situation
in other parts of our community. And, I feel that we
should fully stress the importance of something being
done in these other areas also.
Now, in French Town, as has been brought to our
attention, the urinal situation there is bad. But, mother
areas Of the Community we have other sanitary prob
lens. LLots of the garbage are thrown outside, out IN
the streets and remain there for days. The trucks do
not come around and pick up the garbage. Our cutters
are still sinking to high heaven; they are not washed
down regularly and you will find that in some instances
trucks are running through the town, going to the dump
to dispose of garbage. Ont the way Out garbage is dropped
all along side the road, thereby creating a very unplea-
SAINT and un~sanitary situation.
feel that those are some . fthe things, in addition
to the condition IN Carenage, that we should have MIR.
Pedrito Francios) explain to us. We would iketo know
why isn't the law enforced; why is this condition con
tinuing to exist. feel also that we have to seriously take
some definite steps in the direction of organizing and es-
tablishing some kind of agency that will have the respon-
sibility of maintaining good sanitary conditions IN our
community. AS it stands now, I am sure when Mr.. Fran
co.'s comes before you, he will be saying, well, that is
not my responsibility, that is the responsibility Of the
Public Works Department. If you call the Public Works
Department, they're goingto say, No; it is the response
biIty Of the Sanitation Division.
feel that this year we should seriously consider
setting up a Division to- takecare Of this matter and have
the responsibility definitely placed in one division or de-
partment. Either give it to Public Works Department or
the Department Of Health-but let US place it under one
particular department, instead Of two. This way no one
can pass the buck
Think that until we can properly place this respon

Rockville Mayor Hits
Housing Project Site

Rockville Mayor Alexander
j. Green yesterday urged the
Rockville Housing Authority to
reconsider its decision to build
a 81 million public housing
project in the Lincoln Park
neighborhood.
The site selected-in Rock
ville's Negro section-"is not
the best possible" the Mayor
declared.
He said he would urge the
authority to resurvey its needs
to determine if the project
could not be built instead on
Ashley avenue, north of the
city. That site had been con-
sidered previously, he said, but
rejected principally because the
price of land was higher than
the authority wanted to pay.
This would involve annexa-
ton of the area" Mayor Green
said, but we are willing to do
that"

loan industry, was passed by
the 1861 assembly and signed
by the Governor.
But opponents of the legisla-
ton repeatedly have gathered
the required 10000 signatures
for a referendum. and that
might effectively stall the
measure for some time.
"One way to knock a referen-
dunn in the head" Delegate Lee
said. "is to re-enact the bill
with an emergency clause.
That would have the effect OF
putting the law into effect until
the referendum is held, he said
Senator John Clarence North
Democrat of Talbot, a principal
supporter Of the bill, termed the
movement to delay the bill
"despicable."
II the petition has enough
signatures to put it to a refer
endum. he said, he would per-
sonally urge the Governor to
call a special session Of the
General Assembly.
Since the constitution bars
the Assembly from creating new
offices in an emergency bill, he
would propose that the new
controls be vested in some ex-
listing State agency, he said.

The project, which the au-
thority hopes to start this sum-
mer, is opposed by many resi-
dents of Lincoln Park. They
claim that an addition to the
present 65-unit public housing
development would turn their
neighborhood into a ghetto.
The authority, however,
which includes a Negro direc-
tor, recently declared that the
adjoining site presently con-
Sidered is the only one econom-
ically feasible.
Residents of the area have
been seeking a public hearing
Of their grievances before the
Rockville City Council, al
though that group has no
power to countermand the
housing authority.
Mayor Green said he would
support the authority's final
decision. He declared that "the
worst mistake we could make
would be to delay this project" ."

are preparing for battle in an
ticipation of a court suit chal-
lenging the action.
Most dramatically affected
by the merger will be the four
towns in the county, Clifton,
Herndon, Fairfax and Vienna.
Under the law the charters
of the towns would be revoked
and they would disappear as
municipal entities.
The Clifton Town Council is
joining the Supervisors in the
merger move. Herndon will
have no choice in the matter
because it is too small, but the
other two, Fairfax and Vienna.
are large enough to become
cities on their own If they wish.
Fairfax Seeks Status
7 Already the town of Fairfax
has filed court papers asking
for city status. and Vienna
councilmen said they are taking
the possibility under serious
consideration.
On Friday, however, one Fair
fax councilman. E. A. Prichard,
said he would be willing to COM
promise under certain condi-
tions, most important Of which
was that the new city council
be made larger and that cleo
tions be held Immediately rath-
er than a year after the county
attains city status.
The proposal was received
with mixed feelings. but the
supervisors were Ally
pleased at the prospects of
negotiation.
There seems to be no doubt
that the town of Fairfax could
become a city If it goes through
with it's court petition. but it
would mean the town would
have to assume all school costs
and pay the county for its loss
in tax revenue for a number
of years.
Fairfax councilmen believe
their town could easily afford
it. but Vienna councilmen are
not so sure. A study made last
year indicated the tax rate
would have to go up if the
town became a city.

er may affect even the present

6LaL 6be41 "EltoE
Fairfax County's action last
week to merge with the small
town Of Clifton has brought
forth a multitude 70 questions
which all come down to one:
What happens now?
The question has been asked
repeatedly of supervisors and
other officials in the county
since the agreement was signed
on Wednesday. The answer is
that no one knows for sure.
The move seeking a July IL
referendum on whether the
two jurisdictions should merge
to become a huge city was
taken under section of Vir-
ginia law which never has been
used for the merger of a town
and a county.
Many Key Questions
1t raises therefore - and
leaves unanSwered-questionS
of law affecting not only Fair
fax and Clifton, but the other
towns within the county as well,
Specifically:
l. Is the move legal in the
first place? The supervisors
think it is. but procedures for
the merger never have been
spelled out in the law.
2. What happens to the
county'S four towns? Two will
be dissolved if the merger goes
through, but the status of two
others is uncertain.
8. What happens to the pres
ent annexation suit by Falls
Church, and perhaps more i'm
portant, what effect will the
merger have upon Alexandria s
plans to file an annexation
suit?
4. If all the other questions
are cleared away, will the Gen.
eral Assembly grant the new
municipality a charter? Once
in the past the legislature re-
fused. but county officials see
changes in the present situa-
ton.
The move admittedly was a
desperate one to halt gradual
disintegration of the county
through annexation suits. But
the supervisors think it has q
good chance of getting through

recommending construction Of

Basin at a cost of about $400
million to insure an adequate
supply Of reasonably clean
water in time Of drought.
Although enormous strides
have been made in recent years
in reducing pollution in the
Potomac, the engineers have
reported that Public Health
Service studies have shown
that in the years ahead more
water will be required for pol
luton control than for all
other uses.
Provisions Of Law
Federal law now provides
that while the United States
Government will pay for the
cost Of dam construction need
ed for recreation and flood
control, the local and State
Governments must finance the

time before the General As
Sembly grants the new munich
pality a charter, he said.
Supervisor Robert C. Gotten
said he believes the county's
action has barred future suits,
but, even if it hasn't, the suit
could fail If voters in the 27-
square-mile area approve the
merger in the referendum. That
would prove to the annexation
court that they want to stay
with Fairfax. he said.
Hinges on Referendum
Whatever the outcome of
the annexation problem and
whether or not Fairfax and
Vienna become cities, the whole
proposal will collapse if the
General Assembly refuses to
grant a charter to the new city.
Supervisors have incorpo-
rated a draft charter into the
agreement with Clifton. and,
except for minor changes, it
is, the same document the Leg
islature refused to act on two
years ago.
But the supervisors and the
county'S delegates in the Cen
eral Assembly believe the stu
alton is different now.
Board Chairman Anne Will
kins believes that voter ap-
proval of a referendum would
give new weight to the county's
request for a charter.
Delegate John Webb predicts
that the Legislature will ap-
prove a charter similar In form
to those granted other cities
State Senator John A. K
Donovan said he would push
the charter-providing the
move itself is legal-and added
that he believed the Genera,
Assembly would approve it.
