Mediocre
Cost Put at
81 Billion

The president-elect Of the
American Medical Association
predicted last night the ad-
ministration's proposed Medi-
care bill would result in o 81
billion tax increase for the
Nation in the first year after
its enactment.
Addressing the seth annual
meeting Of the Virginia State
Chamber of Commerce, DR.. Ed
ward r. Annis of Miami, Fla,
said his figures were based on
administration estimates Of
Medicare's costs.
1T is inconceivable that the
administration would attempt
to push through Congress a
ak increase Of this magnitude
at a time when it is advocating
a tax reduction" DR.. Annis
declared.
The g-Anderson, or
"Medicare," bill would provide
limited health care benefits for
everyone 65 or older who are
eligible for Social Security or
Railroad Retirement, in addi-
ton to some 2.5 million aged
not covered by the two pro-
grams.
DR.. Annis' dinner talk kicked
off the annual meeting, held at
the Twin Bridges Marriott
Motel in Arlington, for an ex-
pected 450-500 State chamber
members.
The session will continue

in his State to reclaim strip
mined lands.
Active Mines Remain
Nearly 10000 acres of mined
land have been reclaimed, he
explained. but much remains to
be done. Even If all abandoned
mines were reclaimed, he said,
there would still be the prob
lem of acid production in ac-
tive mines. Control Of pollution
from this source may require
a new mining technique and
equipment, he said.
Officials from communities
near the North Branch told of
their plans for pollution abate-
ment. other communities in
vited to send officials which did
not, will be contacted by let
ter. Mr.. johnson said.
He said he was encouraged
by the reports that the prob
lem Of improved sewers and
treatment Of wastes appeared
to be organizational in nature.

commission was attended by
representatives from the four
States and the District and
Federal Government in which

A District official said today
he intends to provide specific
deadlines for the correcting of
deficiencies in buildings owned
by John d. Neumann Proper
ties.
]. j. ngenfritz, director of
the Department Of Licenses
and Inspections, said he be-
lieves there should be a clearer
understanding of the time that
should be provided for fixing
of defects in some Of the
approximately 400 buildings
owned by the company.
Neumann Properties has been
summoned to q corporation
counsel's hearing Wednesday
in connection with deficiency
notices listed for 10 Of his
buildings, based on the housing
and other city codes.
Four Priority Lists
Mr.. Ilgenfritz said that the
Neumann buildings were di-
vided into four priority lists in
November, 1861. However, he
said that correction Of deficien-
cies in many of the buildings
appears to have begged down
because there was no time limit
set for each list.
The department apparently
was working on the theory that
as long as Neumann Properties
was showing good faith by con-
tinually fixing up some Of Its
buildings everything was all
right, Mr.. Ilgenfritz said.
He said written schedules for
repair Of buildings were worked
out for two other large building

CUMBERLAND, Md, May
IA two-day meeting Of the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River Basin closed
here yesterday with descriptions
Of steps being taken in the
upper reaches Of the basin to
cut pollution from sewage and
coal mines.
Carl j. johnson, executive
director Of the commission,
opened the session on water
quality improvement in the
; North Branch by noting that
this tributary of the Potomac
is where the greatest concen-
tration of communities which
do not treat their sewage are
located. There are presently 2l
such communities in the basin
He said that progress has been
made since 1943 when there
were 54 communities with no
public sewer system whatsoever
and 80 with sewer systems
which discharged their wastes
untreated into the river and
its tributaries.
"One problem on which we
have not made progress in my
Judgment is acid mine drain
age" This problem may be in
tensified, he added, when a new
generating plant Of the Virginia
Electric Power Co. is completed
on Stony River. The steam
generation plant is certain to
stimulate production Of coal"
in the region, he explained.
Land Stripped
unless we intensity our
efforts. I feel we will get in
creased acid mine drainage. 4"
The area around Cumberland
is dotted with land that has
been stripped for soft coal. Mr..
johnson explained to a re-
porter that the coal deposits
have a heavy sulphur content"
which. when exposed to air and
water, produce acid that drains
into streams.
Abandoned mines continue to
pollute streams for 20 to rs
years. he added. Another

Firm to Get DeodIines
For Fixing Dwellings

whose president is Matthew
Mezzanotte.
Both firms were given q year
to take care of defects In their
buildings, the District official
said.
Mr.. Ilgenfritz said Harrison
& Adams completed most oi
the work on its approximately
100 buildings In one year and
within IA months had taken
care Of all Of it. However, he
added that since that time ad-
ditional deficiency notices have
been served for some Of the
company's buildings.
He explained that owners OF
many buildings always will be
receiving some notices from his
office because Of the difficulty
Of keeping the structures in
good condition when some ten
ants tear them UP as soon as
they are fixed.
Mr.. Mezzanotte's firm re-
ceived its schedule In February
and has corrected defects In
four Of SO buildings. Mr.. Ilgen-
fritz reported that he Is now
checking on reports that de.
fects in four additional Mez-
zanotte buildings also have been
corrected.
George Smith. property man.
ager for Neumann Properties
said he feels there has been q
misunderstanding In the De-
partment Of Licenses and In
spections about how the sched-
ule for repair Of the Neumann
buildings was to work.
Misunderstanding"
There was no deadline set
for correcting all defects in our
properties because there was a
mutual understanding that re-
pairs would be made on a con-
tinuing basis" Mr.. Smith said.
II don't feel we have been
treated unfairly by the District
Building, but I do think there
has been a misunderstanding
about what we were to do.
I'VE have purchased many
buildings that were in poor con-
dition and fixed them up far
above the standards required
by the Department of Licenses
