SIX OUTFIELDERS HOT
Senators I estinq
Hinton at Short

POMPANo BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 13.-At the moment Man.
ager Mickey Vernon of the
Senators is overstocked with
heroes, so much so that today
he planned to relieve the traf-
fic problem in the outfield by
playing Chuck Hinton at Short
stop.
Not that there is anything
wrong with the way Bob john
son has filled the shortStop po-
sition the last couple of days.
All johnson did yesterday was
rap out five hits in five at-bats,
including q home run and two
doubles, as the Senators
whipped Kansas City's alter
nate squad for the second
straight day, 1874.
johnson, former Kansas City
property, was slated to rest to-
day as the Senators tried to
keep their budding streak alive
against the Orioles.
The test of Hinton at short
stop is the first surprise switch
Vernon has pulled. AS an out
fielder the young Negro has
been superb. He has patrolled
centerfield with speed and
grace, and in Saturdays ex-
hibition he socked two hits in
four trips, including a tremen-
dous triple to deep center.
Tasby Plays Robber
Willie Tasby played center
yesterday, while Hinton sat out,
and was the defensive hero.
He made a belly-whopping
catch that robbed Clint Court

and speared Elwood Huyke's
drive with one hand while

quate treatment.
WSSC customers in the BIZ
county area find themselves
classified in the fortunate 25
per cent, because of the record
OF progress compiled by the
| WSSC.
In its early days, the commits
sion already was faced with the
need for planning and coordina-
ton of small existing systems,
for replacement of privy-type,
individual household facilities
and local community systems
which, in many cases, were
pouring raw sewage into a near
by stream or open field.
Gradually, the WSSC went
about the task of improving and
consolidating these local sys-
TENS. They were enlarged, re-
inforced and replaced by the
commission as the area emerged
from semi-rural life to the SUI
burbia of today.
Over the years, the WSSC
has developed a network of
trunk lines and interceptor
sewers hundreds of miles of
pipelines which channel sew
age to large treatment facilities.
AS the suburban area has
grown, this network has been
enlarged and extended to meet
the requirements of the popula-
ton.
Generally, this is how the
commissions sewerage system
works: "a household plumbing
is run to the homeowner's
property line by plumber and
a house connection to the sewer
is installed by the commission.

house into a pipeline, which has
been installed in the street to

facilities can ready be expand
ed at reasonable cost to meet
the increased demand for serv-
ice.
The commission annually re-
vises and up-dates a five-year
sewerage program of major
projects. This program is the
WSSC's basic guide in its con-
tinuins effort to provide service
when and where it is needed,
although many projects must be
planned well beyond the five
year projection.
No facilities, regardless of
how well engineered and con-
structed they are, will operate
without some trouble. Public
construction projects can break
lines, stoppages occur, and plant
equipment requires expert care.
The WSSC has developed a
round-the-clock, radio-controlled
maintenance service for both
water and sewer to meet these
daily requirements.
One of the most recent
adaptions of modern equipment
to the WSSCs maintenance pro-
gram has been the use of a
closed circuit mobile television
unit to locate underground root
penetration, breaks, and water
infiltration in sewerage system
pipelines. TVS magic eye"
helps WSSC crews spot trouble
quickly and perform mainten-
ance with a minimum of ex-
cavation, with a resultant saw

eventually into big trunk
sewer. ~ This large sewer
then carries the sewage in an
underground, closed pipeline to
the treatment plant.
Most of the sewage from the
commissions system is trans
ported to the Blue Plains Treat
ment Plant, operated by the Dis
trict of Columbia. The commits
sion pays the District on a
metered volume basis for treat
ment of suburban Maryland
sewage and also pays its share
of capital Improvements to the
D. c. system required to trans
port and treat WSSC sewage.
The commission does operate
one sewage treatment facility,
the Parkway Plant, which
serves the Laurel area in Prince
Georges County. AT this plant,
the raw sewage is screened and
goes through process of
settling, sludge digestion, aera-
ton, filtration and colonization.
In addition, pumping stations
are located at a number of
points throughout the WSSC
gravity flow sewerage system
to lift sewage when necessary.
All of these facilities cost
money, and the commission has
invested about $40 million in
capital Improvements to meet
the sewage disposal needs of the
bi-county area since 1918. Most
of this investment has been
made in a permanent system;
and, in many cases, the WSSC
has constructed lines with
capacities which will provide for
not just the present but antici-
pated future needs. This means
that, as new customers are add
ed to the system, trunk lines
will be able to take the in

WSSC Sewage System Now Serves 100000

This Is the first of two
articles concerning the de.
velOpment of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commits
siOh's Sewage Disposal and
Water Supply Systems.)
More than four decades ago,
leaders in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties fore
saw tremendous growth of their
community and took firm step
toward assuring citizens of or
derby and healthful expansion
of the Suburban Maryland area.
This large and important
step was brought about by the
passage of legislation establish
ing the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission to provide
for the water supply and sew
age disposal requirements of the
bi-county area.
In the beginning the WSSC
covered a relatively small area
of IS square miles, containing
about 10000 persons; but, from
the start, the new commission
began planning and building the
systems which now serve more
than 100000 people in a 475-
square-mile area.
One of the key products of
the commissions activity has
been the development of a
regional sewerage system,
which provides efficient, reliable
service for thousands of subur-
banites and, at the same time,
has effectively eliminated sew
age pollution in area stream
valleys.
Many homeowners are in
clined to take public services,
like sewage disposal, for grant
ed until there is stoppage or
some other interruption in serv-
ice. A modern sewerage system
is something important to the
community, and not to be taken
for granted, in view of the fact
that only about 25 per cent of
the American population is
served by adequate sewage dis
posal facilities providing ade-

School Construction Push
Credited to Tawes by Long

Capital Improvement funds to
expand educational facilities in
Maryland have more than
tripled since Gov. ]. Willard
Tawes took office, DR.. Clarence
D. Long, executive co-chairman
of the Democratic Party, said
this week.
Citing recent Communist
threats, Dr.. Long said that this
country's most important wea-
pom in the current theological
battle is "the quality of our
education" He added:
ITO insure that Maryland's
schools will be prepared to cope
with the population explosion,
Governor Tawes has approved a
speed-up in school construc-
ton.
"F'or the period 1860 to 1862,
Governor Tawes provided an
average annual ALLEGATION of
nearly SIS million in his capital
improvements budget for school
building, more than TRIPPING that
of the period 1857 to 1889"
In addition, DR.. Long noted
that Maryland was one of only
eight states in fiscal 1861 which
authorized an increase in the
minimum salary scales for
teachers.
THE average salary for teach
ers in Maryland in fiscal 1861
was highest among the Is
Southern States and S465 above
the national average. At the
same time, the States expendi-
ture for each pupil was SIS
higher than the national aver
age" DR.. Long said.
He added that ALLEGATIONS for
educational programs are rising
at a faster rate than enroll
ments and will enable Maryland
to continually improve its pro-
grams.
Total State aid to bolster ele-
mentary and high school educa-
ton is nearing the S100 million
mark" DR.. Long said, adding
