approval for the proposed Watts
Branch sewer line, as requested
by the Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, after members pointed
out that no master plan has as
yet been developed for the area
to be served by the sewer.
Instead, the county heads de-
ferred amy decision pending re-
ceipt of a report from the Plan
ming Board ON the status OF a
master plan for the area.
Firm Answer Sought
Officials of the Sanitary Com
mission sought a firm commit
ment from the council on the
Watts Branch project as the ba-
sis for a reply TO an area devel-
oper, who is planning subdi-
vision on a tract of some 600
acres to the west of Falls Road
near Rockville in an area that
would be served by the propos-
ed sewer. Commissioner Willard
A. Morris, of the Sanitary agen-
cy, told the council the develop
err has offered to donate $780,.
900 toward the cost Of the Watts
Branch project on the assur-
ance that 1t will serve his pro
posed development.
The Watts Branch sewer has
been planned tentatively as q
future local project, but no
specific plans have been drawn.
Morris and other Sanitary Com
mission officials wanted assur-
ances that 1t would be approved
for completion in 1862 or 1868.
Council Members BaIk
However, council members
objected to any approval OF
sewage construction until a
master plan Of coming has been
devised for the area.

we have been trying to avoid"

mind for this area"
Policy Cited
Councilman David Cahoon
concurred, asserting that the
council has adopted an "estab-
lished policy" of refusing to ap.
prove construction in advance

Sanitary Commission spokes-
men said the Falls I'd. develop
