Maryland's first snow Of the

was no accumulation.
While Garrett Countians were
alerted about winter by the

prolonged drought.
Baltimore water officials re-
ported that two large reser-

pacities. but said that restric-
tons on water consumption in
that city are not contemplated
at this time.

Flood Plan Urged
For Virginia

Virginia should establish q

tentiaily dangerous streams
such as Four Mile Run. Robert

Mr.. Gerber said the program
should include periodic surveys
and reports by State engineers.
He said such information would
alert local governments to dis
asters such as the August 20
Hood on Four Mile Run, which
killed one person and caused
nearly 81 million in property
damage.
Mr.. Gerber criticized the pres
ent State government for say
ing only that it viii give full

Run situation. If elected, he
said he would introduce iegis-
lation to set up the flood-con-
troll program.

not spell out the details of the

The Governor was reminded
of his earlier comments to the
effect that the small vote IN
Virginia indicates satisfaction
