SUBUR BOARD ON SEWERS BEING PLANNED Park Commission National Also Looking Ahead to Nearby Water Supply. Formation of a committee representa- tive of affected interests in the District of Columbia, Virginia and Maryland, to deal with sewer facilities in the Metro- politan area, and their future develop- ment, is now under consideration, Capt. E. N. Chisholm, jr., engineer of the National Copital Park and Planning Commission, said today. This commit- tee will likely have on its membership persons that are now serving on the Metropolitan water co-ordinating com- mittee, because of the close tie-up be- tween water and sewer facilities. Capt. Chisholm, who is an expert in water and sewer facilities, because of his service in the South in a civilian capacity, before he became an officer in the Engineer Corps of the Army, is par- ticularly interested in having a compre- hensive plan worked out to assist future developments of Greater Washington. Planning Water Feeds. While plans for launching the com- mittee on sewer development are going forward, the Metropolitan committee on water supply has just agreed to pursue further investigations to plan for water feeds for the next half century. Charles W. Eliot, 2d, city planner of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission, explained today that the com- mittee had a private meeting on Tues- day, received the reports from its vari- ous subcommittees, giving information about the District of Columbia,. Vir- ginia and Maryland areas, with refer- ence to water feeds development. Further reports were requested from the subcommittees, dealing with the prospective future demand for water in each of the three areas, the estimated population increase and water consump- tion increase. How to Meet Demand. In placing these questions before his subcommittees, the committee asked them to give attention to the query as to how the increased water demand might best be met, and as to whether local sources or a combined supply 1s the better. If more than one supply is decided upon, the question must then be met, Mr. Eliot said, &s o the protec- tion of the water supply sources. ‘The National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission desires to have in- formation on these matters, so that it can plan its park program in the Metro- politan area so as not to conflict with the water supply of Washington and adjacent communities. Further data is needed on the whole question, Mr. Eliot pointed out, before & definite recommendation will be forth- coming. WINCHESTER BUILDS. - Permits Since January 1 Aggre- gate $1,000,000.

STAUNTON, Va., September 12.—A report that R. H. Angell, of Roanoke, chairman of the State Republican com- mittee, had retired from active work on account of ill health, and that the man- agement of the campaign was in the hands of Duncan Curry, local attorney and vice chairman of the committee, was denied here last night by Mr. curry. At a meeting held in Lynchburg two weeks ago it was decided that Mr. An- gell would remain as chairman, but that Mr. Curry would relieve him of much of the active work and be, in fact, directing head of the campaign, with headquarters in Roanoke. Mr. Curry stated last night that these changes were all of which he had any knowledge. O — Harper Is Boomed for Post. STAUNTON, Va., September 12 (Spe- clal).—J.

WATER £ Connections to Be Made When Agreement Is Signed by Local Commissioners. Negotiations for the extension of the District's water supply into nearby Maryland communities have virtually been completed by the District Com- missioners and the Washington Sub- urban Sanitary Commission, it was dis- closed today at the District Building. The District's water is to supplement, in case of emergency, the supply fur- nished the area in Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties served by the sanitary commission. Four connections with the District system are contem- plated, although only one will be made at the outset in the vicinity of Rhode Island and Eastern avenues northeast, which will provide District water for Mount Rainier, Brentwood, Hyattsville and contiguous communities in Prince Georges County. Authorization to extend the District water service into nearby Maryland was given the Commissioners more than 10 years ago, when Congress passed the 1918 District appropriation bill. Not until the completion of the new luprly system which has provided a surplus for the District, however, did the Com- missioners regard it as practicable to permit the extension. Pact Being Drawn. An agreement is now being drawn up by the Commissioners in accordance with the terms laid down by Congress in the act authorizing the extension, and as soon as it is signed by the sani- tary commission it will be permitted to draw water from the District system. The agreement will prescribe the rates to be charged the sanitary commission, and stipulate that the meters for the Maryland supply shall remain in the District and under jurisdiction of the Commissioners. ‘The agreement also will stipulate that the water furnished the sanitary com- mission shall not exceed the amount that can be spared without jeopardiz- ing the interests of the United States or the District and in no event shall it exceed 3,000,000 gallons a day. ‘The rate to be charged the Sanitary Commission, it was said, will amount to about $65 per 1,000,000 gallons. Con- gress gave the commissoners power to fix the rate, but prescribed that it should be based on the actual cost of the water to the United States and the District, including an interest charge of 4 per cent a year and a suitable allowance for depreciation. Minimum of Cost. ‘The Commissioners figured that $65 a million gallons would be the mini- mum of cost to deliver the water to the mains of the Sanitary Commission at the District line. Approximately $35 of this amount was calculated to be the cost to the United States to bring the water to the District’s distribution system. The cost of pumping the water through the distribution system to the District line and all other factors in- volved added $10 to the figure. The interest and depreciation on the system brought the figure up to $65. Officials at the District Building pointed out that the depreciation con- sidered in making the rate involved only the system through which the water will pass to reach the District line. The $65 rate, however, is higher than paid by Arlington County, Va., for the water there is drawn from the Dalecarlia Reservoir. The Arlington County rate is lower, it was pointed out, because the water does not pass through the District’s distribution system, but is taken directly from the reservoir of the supply system, which is under Fed- eral jurisdiction.
