Madeira Park
Plan Rejected
By Foirfox

A proposal to buy a 160-acre
tract for parkland near the
Madeira School in Fairfax
County was rejected for the
third time yesterday.
The Fairfax Board Of Coun-
ty Supervisors voted S to
against putting up 5000, 900 for
the Rock Wilderness tract over
a hill from the Potomac River.
If Fairfax County had ap-
propriated the 100000, Con-
gresS would have spent an ad-
ditional 100000 already ap-
propriated to buy the land.
The supervisors rejected the
purchase Of the land in Feb
ruary of 1859 and again in
April Of this year. -.
The 100000 in Federal
funds approved by the House
was in the Interior Depart
ment budget, but opposition
was expressed by Virginians at
a Senate subcommittee hearing
in May.
Senator Robert C. Byrd,
Democrat of West Virginia,
who presided at the Senate
hearing. said at the time he
saw little chance of retaining
the funds If Virginians them
selves opposed the purchase.
The board acted yesterday
after receiving recommends
tions from the County Park
Authority and the Regional
Park Authority recommending
purchase Of the land.

F airfax Dumps Hit.
As Fly Rat Havens.

Fairfax County has 43O un-
official refuse dumps which
are becoming breeding places
for flies and feeding places
for rats, an official of the State
Department of Health reported
yesterday.
Some garbage. collectors, and
some residents of the county
are, indiScriminately dumping
refuse in areas scattered all
/ over the country, he said. Us
ually, he said, the dumping IS
done at night.
The official, r. E. Dorer,
director Of the Health Depart
ment's Bureau of Insect and
Rodent Control. told the Board
Of Supervisors that collection
was inadequate and that the
county should establish two
more sanitary land-fill sites
for dumping.
Overhaul Urged
- Mr.. Dorer's report to the
board supplemented a study
made earlier this year, results
of which were sent to the
county in April.
= The study recommended a
total reorganization of the
whole country refuse system, I"
including licensing Of private
garbage collectors.
The report said commercial
establishments were the worst
offenders in failing to maintain
proper storage facilities for
garbage awaiting collection.
: The county collects garbage
Only once a week, the study
said. though most Of those inS
terviewed complained that this
was not enough.
Twice-a-week collection is
better. Mr.. Dorer said, since
1t takes flies about q week to
breed and twice-a-week cnl-
lection would break the cycle.
Private Scavengers
: :. Mr.. Dorer told the supervisors
that a large portion of garbage
COLLECTED in the county is
picked up by private scavengers.
: mo one seemed to know
where they we're working and
what they were doing with
what they were collecting" he
said.
: Much Of the refuse ends up
1T the 430 dumping places over
which the county exercises 10
Control, he added.
= The study recommended that
Scavengers be organized and
controlled by the county," that
their equipment be regulated
and that operators be licensed.
: It also suggested that refuse
be collected at least twice a
week on a countrywide basis.
AT business establishments, It
Said. collection should be made
daily if possible.
: The board took no action on
the report.
: On another matter the board
rejected an application for a
use permit which would have
allowed construction of a 81
million marina on Mason's
