Highway Dept.
Bill p ssed
By Assembly
On Wednesday
Governor Carvel's Pro-
pOsal OF All New Board
Ends Stalemate; Fed
eral Funds Saved BY
Timely Action.

The General Assembly wednes-
day night of this week created a
band new Highway Department
and gave it s26,660, 900 to start
operations with.
In dramatic series of rapid-fire
developments, the Legislature un-
animously passed legislation to
create a new 11-member bi-parti-
san Highway Commission and a
two-year road building program
calling for combined state-federal
spending of $70.000,000.
Governor Elbert n. Carvel, prime
architect of the agreement which
broke the long stalemate on high
way legislation, is expected to sign
both measures into law as quickly
as he can.
Everything went like clockwork
after an early-morning decision by
Kent County Democrats to go
along with compromise High
way Department reorganization
bill agreed on last Monday but
scuttled Tuesday by a coalition of
downstate senator's.
As passed by both houses, the
bill (HB 143 as
amended) creates a new Highway
Commission of five members from
each political party with the 11th
member to be named as chairman
by the Governor to serve at the
chief executives pleasure.
The legislation also creates a
new administrative car in the de-
partment to oversee all functions
except state police, motor vehicles
and finance and a comptroller TO
act as watchdog over the agency's
fiscal affairs.

Fairfax Seeking Water
AtCost of $2OMi|Iion

The Alexandria Water Co.
serves all of Alexandria, plus
some $4,000 customers in the
southeastern section of Fairfax
County. Its management has
indicated it has no interest in
selling.
If Fairfax should buy the
company, according to James
j. Corbalis, engineer director Of
the Fairfax County Water Au-
thority, it would continue to
furnish water to Alexandria.
The authority, created in
1857, is trying to set up a
coun ty wide E, municipality
owned water service.
The authority has already
acquired 10 small water COM
panies. In this case, the county
will have to acquire the COM
pany because the authority
cannot condemn without spe-
cial permission from the State
Corporation Commission.
According to present plans,
the county will either arrange
to buy the company or con-
denim it, then turn it over to
the authority which will sell
revenue bonds to pay for it.

Some Of his neighbors dislike

The difference of opinion is

That's when his priced yel-
low-tailed cribo died. This

ment yesterday and inventoried
his collection. Then they called

Advertising snake sales, as
Simon has done, is probably
barred, said Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Carl D. Coleman.
Simon's home is not zoned

But keeping the snakes-and
baby alligators and turtles, and
fish and deodoriZed skunks-in
the basement is another thing,
The District does have reg

bees and parrots that talk toe

MIR. Coleman vaguely re-
membered q night club act that

snake. Snakes on public land
need permits.
But, Mr.. Coleman concluded
nowhere does the District have
