In 1861, when one false move
could trigger atomic destruc-
ton, an American diplomat for
the first time betrayed Ameri-
can secrets TO agents OF an
Iron Curtain power.
He sold out his country not
for pay or love OF communism
but for a skinny Polish girl
with bedroom eyes and a
throaty voice.
The Warsaw OF early 1861

Septic Tanks Approval
Near Water Source Hit

A Maryland health official
today strongly criticized the
granting of permission for
septic tank installation in a
proposed subdivision near
Rock George Reservoir on the
Patuxent River, a main water
source for the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commits
sion.
Robert H. Brown. chief of
the State Bureau of Environ
mental Hygiene, said the in
stallation in the proposed sub
division Of 20 to 80 homes
near Laurel was authorized
some time ago by health Off
Gals in Prince Georges County
He did not identify the sub
division.
After a Juror over malfunc-
tioning septic tanks in Mont
gomery County a few months
ago, the Maryland health de-
partment declared that septic
tank installation in rapidly
growing areas should be dis
couraged.
Speaking at a meeting OF
the Regional Sanitary Advisory
Board today. Mr.. Brown said
approval of a subdivision with
out a plan Of septic treatment
Is crazy as hell"
TITS high time that we face
up TO the fact that this is a
totally inappropriate way OF
dealing with the problem OF
land development" Mr.. Brown
said. IF land development is
TO take place II ought TO be
associated with a plan OF sew
age treatment"
Mr.. Brown said the Sanitary
Commission had TO come along
with a program TO bail out"
the subdivision with a plan TO
extend sewer lines 10 the sub
division. But. he said, this
hasn't been approved.
Mr.. Brown said the Sanitary
Commission offered two weeks
ago 10 share the cost OF a sewer
line extension with the devel-
oper but the developer has not
yet accepted the proposal.

Brown said the Sanitary Com
mission has asked the county
health officer to reconsider the
matter If the developer refuses
to go along with the sewer line
extension.
Willard j. Luff, head of the
Prince Georges bureau Of sani-
tary engineering, identified the
proposed development as Hills
boro subdivision. The project is
planned by the M g. d Devel-
opment Co. headed by p. @.
Melbourne, Mayor of Laurel.
Mr.. Luff said that permits
have been issued for only four
septic tanks so far and that
no more will be authorized
until the matter is cleared I'D.
He said plans for the subdi-
vision, containing 38 lots OF
slightly over one-half acre
each. we're approved several
months ago by both the Mary
land-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and
former Prince Georges health
officer, DR.. Murray Grant.
Mr.. Luff said the ground in
the subdivision passed percola-

department advised the WSSCI
that II should take UP the
question Of extending sewers TO
the subdivision. He said the
health department will review
the matter before any more
septic tanks are approved for
lots.
Arthur Brigham. director OF
public relations for WSSC. said
that the developer applied for
water service 10 the subdivision.
He said that because of its
location near the reservoir,
WSSC officials drew up a plan
for extending sewers as we'll as
the water lines. He said the
cost would be sl0l. 900 and
WSSC asked the developer 10
put UP $685. 900 OF this. He said
the plan was approved by
WSSC November 20 but the
commission hasn't heard from
the developer yet.
