subdivision so that each lot
encompassed an area where
tests indicated a septic system
would work, and he notes that
there has been no difficulty
with many.
Mr.. Smith, who subsequently
sold part Of the tract to
another developer, stresses that
both in planning and construc-
ton his portion Of the sub
division, he fulfilled in good
faith every requirement Stipu-
lated by the county.
Within a week after Mr..
Cook moved into his house last
August, his septic system over
flowed with sewage.
The county on September 10,
1861 itself made a percolation
test on his property. 1t re-
vealed no percolation at all.
Then on November 8, 1861 the
county returned to virtually
the same spot where records
submitted by Mr.. Smith stated
a successful test had been per-
formed. Again, there was no
percolation whatsoever.
Why would tests at the same
place be so contradictory?
That's the great mystery"
says Mr.. Koch.
Mr.. Cook insists the mystery
further is compounded by a
report submitted by independ-
ent soil scientists who surveyed
his property. He quotes the
scientists as saying they can
not understand how a salts
factory test ever was made on
the land unless there were alb
normal conditions.

ton may lie in human err

HEPATITIS RISES TENFOLD
BUT TESTS OF WATER DROP

The incidence Of infectious hepatits has increased
tenfold in Montgomery County during the past three
years. During the time authorities there have been
reducing their inspections Of water which carry the
disease.
The county managers most recent annual report
shows that in 1858 hepattis recorded in
Montgomery In 1859 there H. The number rose to
80 in 1860 and scared to I23 last year.
The same report reveals that in 1858, the county
analysed 3484 samples Of water from public and private
supplies. But last year, it made only 774 analyses
The United States Public Health Service today said
there is question that contaminated water cause
hepatitis.
The Montgomery County Health Department
frmed that most of the 1913 cases year occurred in
upper areas of the county, where families

in 1857 signed a contract tc
buy 90 acres of the Williams
burg tract, upon which Concord
later was built, from Margaret
Case Cahoon, John B. CaSe
and Mary E. Ridgely.
The contract was contingent
upon his making successful
percolation tests showing that
the ground was sufficiently alb
sorbent to accommodate septic
systems. Percolation tests are
conducted by drilling holes In
the ground and filling them
with water to see how long il
takes for the earth to Absorb
the water.
Mr.. Brawner now states that
his tests indicated that between
80 and IS per cent of the tract
simply was not permeable.
He estimates on the basis Of
the 1857 data that as little a.
80 per cent of the land wa,
suitable for septic systems i.

than an acre. which some o.
them subsequently were.

unsafe. Saying that he did not
know, Mr.. Koch asked an as
siStant who also did not know.
Mr.. Dorsch says that at his
insistence, the county then
consented to call the Kendalls
to tell them that coliform had
been detected in all seven parts
of their water.
Another Concord resident,
Wilfred Rogers of 9601 Pink
ney court, also did not learn
that his water was unsafe until
his neighbors told him.
Mr.. Dorsch remembers that
last month the county sent a
second inspector to determine
if his water still was polluted
Git was) and that during a chat
with Mrs. DorSch, the inspector
complimented her for not be-
coming hySterical.
Spared Mysteries
You know, women usually
get historical when we tell
them their water is contami-
mated. We had so many hysteri-
cal women on our hands, that's
why we stopped sending out
notices" Mr.. Dorsch quotes the
inspector as having confided
to Mrs. DorSch.
All six families whose water
was found to be unsafe now
know about it. Some have rem
edied the situation, while others
are using bottled water. But
whether all those whose water
was befouled by detergent are
aware is uncertain.
Although how much deterg-
ent is tolerable in potable wa
ter has not been conclusively
determined, Congress last
March approved public health
standards which stipulate that
so parts per million units is
the maximum acceptable.
Mr.. Mullaney'S water had
20.48 parts per million. Six
other wells had detergent in
excess Of what Congress said
is permissible.
But one Montgomery sanitar-
ian insists that the presence OF
any detergent is serious.
1--WE feel that detergent
couldn't get into the water
other than through a septic
tank or a seepage source. So
from that standpoint, we are
very much concerned, no mat
ter how little there is" he says
DR.. Peoples was asked why
the county delayed so long be-
fore alerting the people in Con-
cord.

time, he was advised that COLI
form had been discovered in al
seven portions of his water.
He said that r. w. Koch, di-
rector of the Sanitation Divi-
sion, warned him at that time
to quit using the water at once
and expressed dismay that he
had not been warned earlier.
That afternoon-June q -
Mr.. Mullaney returned to Rock
vile to buy a photoStatic copy
of the results of all 26 tests
in Concord.
Notations on the original re-
port indicated that on May z
three Concord residents were
informed of the results. But
their wells were entirely free
Of meteorological contamina-
ton. Thus, the county chose
first to notify people whose
water was safe - not those
whose water was unsafe.
Caller Told Of Pollution
. One Concord resident, Mrs.
James P. May of 1921 Accord
drive, became anxious a week
or so after the tests and called
the county. She was then ad-
vised that her well was polluted,
The notations stated that on
May II, G. Yates Cook of 9517
Accord drive had been told that
his well contained no coliform.
The news was only temporarily
comforting to Mr.. Cook. This
month, DR.. Peoples ordered him
to get out of his $4,000 house
because raw sewage is running
through the yard.
The names of Mr.. Mullaney
and Mr.. Dorsch also had been
checked.
But otherwise the report
failed to indicate that any OF
the other 19 Concord families
had been notified.
When Mr., Dorsch called
upon Mr.. Koch again on June
20, he asked if another neigh
Dor, J. K. Kendall, had been
told yet that his water was

port Of what Mr.. Mullaney saw
it is necessary to understand
how pollution Is analysed and
what the analyses mean. A
sample of water is divided into
eight parts apparently. in the
May 2 tests seven divisions
were made). Each part is Scru-
tinized for coliform organisms,
which can come from the
wastes of either animals or
humans. and for ecoi, which
is found in human wastes.
Montgomery County sanitar-
ians state that If coliform ap-
pears in any one of the portions,
the water is unfit to drink. If
econ is present in any portion,
it is even worse. And the more
portions that contain coliform
or ecoli, the more unsafe the
water.
The report at which Mr.. Null
laney stared disclosed that COLI
form had been found in seven
portions Of his water and ecoli
in four.
Calls NeighbOr
Noting what the report re-
vealed about the water of some
of his neighbors, Mr.. Mullaney
promptly called one Of them,
James A. Dorsch of 1908 Accord
drive.
Hey, Jim, how's your water?"
he asked.
Mr.. Dorsch replied that as
the county had not told him
otherwise, he was confident it
was pure.

it's about as bad as you can

Alarmed by thoughts of what
his three small children might
have been drinking, Mr.. Dorsch

Rockville. There, for the first

Actually, some Of them were
not notified, but we're notify
ing them now. It's an eight
week lapse, that's all I can say
about it," he answered.
But isn't it dangerous to per-
NIT anyone to drink and battle

declares is unsafe?
mot necessarily. They had
been drinking it all along
hadn't they?" said DR.. Peoples.
Both the ordinances of Mont
gomery County and Maryland
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-08-23

decree that every home must
have access to a potable water
supply.
The Maryland State Board
Of Health in 1858 adopted addi-
tional regulations intended to
insure that every buyer of a
new house supplied by a well
has pure water.
They require that before use
of a new well begins, water
from it be taken for laboratory
analysis. If the first sample is
totally free of coliform, then g
second sample must be taken
within so days to verify that
the first analysis was valid.
Il Acknowledging that Mont
gomery does not comply with
these regulations, DR.. Peoples
added that he thinks no other
county in Maryland does either
He said the county has been
aware of problems caused by
wells and septic systems in
Potomac, that for many months
it has worked with builders and
homeownerS to solve them, and
that in many instances it has
succeeded.
No Prior Test
Another county official, who
insisted upon anonymity, ex-
planned:
mo, we would not make q
test before people move into q
house. We haven't normally
: sampled any water in any sub.
, division except on individual
requests. In the law, it say:
that you should make a sample
That of course was pointed out
by Mullaney. 1t is known that
we haven't been doing it ano
that it should be done. But
how are you going to do it il
you don't have the facilities?"
DR.. Peoples also emphasized
that the county willingly tests
a well whenever it is asked tc
do so by an owner.
However, if a test is made

water came up" candidly says
the other official.
] The hot water" has beer
, boiled by several irate Concord
citizens who began searching
county records and gathering
documentary data after thet
septic systems failed.
They point out that in addi-
ton to making tests to assure
the purity of water, the county
also is supposed to enforce reg
ulations intended to guarantee
that septic systems are prop
erly installed and put only on
land capable of absorbing eff
fluent from them.

If the county enforced these
regulations, why did some sep

homes in Concord were occupied
last year? No one offers a con-

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
Continued from Wednesday,
MR.. ALEXANDER: Mr.. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Senator Alexander.

MR.. ALEXANDER. Mr.. President, I did not intend
to vote for this Bill No. 1852 in its original form. Several
weeks ago at a conference the President correctly point
ed out the ill effects that had taken place as a result OF
the transfer of certain sites in the Town OF ChrlstlanSted
to the National Park Service. On that basis, the propo-
sal was rejected. This matter was brouht to the at
tention of the officials in Washington who are very much
interested in it from the National Park Services point
of view. And the Governor was asked on his recent visit
if the matter could be brought back before the Leglsla-
ture for its reconsideration because the authorities IN
Washington stated that that particular portion was be-
ing destroyed by visitors going there and taxing away
the beautiful coral fans there ..
MR.. REESE qnterposing): Senator, if you will per
nit me, you cay that this was brought back bofore the
Legislature for reconsideration. 1t has never been be-
fore the Legislature. This is the first time that it has
been presented. You have to correct that statement.
Mr.. ALEXANDER: Now that the bill has come be-
fore us officially and the bill has been sufficiently amend
ed to safeguard the rights of the public, which I'm IN
terested in Il have discussed this with several persons
on the Islands of St. Croix and they agreed with me
that if this measure is amended to safeguard the rights
Of the public) they'll have no personal objections to It
What we are doing is simply this: We are transferring
control from one operator to the other WITHOUT any al
ference. without any restriction. The people will be al

natural beauty and objects of nature will be protected
and policed by the National Park Service, which is 60
ing to provide the funds to operate this place and de-
velop its flora. The Island has been barren for many
many years
Someone said that the Island belongs to the United
States Government. 1t does not belong to the United
States Government; it belongs to the Government OF

I'm after. The question is that that site had been rented
