Storage Proposal. This is the fifth of a series of articles which are of especial timeliness in ac- count of the serious drought from which the Washington area has sufiered this Summer. They deal with the present ond future water supply of Washington and ‘nearby portions of Maryland and nia and particulerly with a_pre- ary report of a committer. created at the suggestion of Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant. 3d, director of the Notional Cap- ital Pork and which has already beou more watet for the increasing population of this region, of which Washington is the center. BY DONALD A. CRAIG. Cost of construction of storage reser- | voirs on the Potomac River, which will be necessary in accordance with one plan of providing more water for the inhabitants of -the Washington area, | embracing the District of Columbia and | the surrounding portions of Maryland and Virginia, appears likely to be so great that it will be unwarranted, in the opinion of the Water Supply Com- mittee in its preliminary report to the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, unless it is undertaken in connection with power, navigation or other projects on the river. | ‘The committee thinks, however, that | independent construction for water sup- | ply purposes might be justified if the | whole region were supplied from this | source and shared in the cost | The relative cost of this method of | procedure, as compared with independ- Ient action by the separate authorities, | has not been ascertained by the com- | mittee. The possibility of combining | water supply storage for power purposes | has been discussed, and attention is | called in the report to the serious effect |on the economy of power development which the diversion of 600 or 800 second | feet of water would produce. Neverthe- less, the committec believes that this | “possibility” is worthy of more careful ! study. Rights Not Defined. As heretofore hinted, the committee wishes to call attention to the impor- tance of securing rights and of “protect- | ing resources from pollution far in ad- |vance of development of any of the | sources considered. The rights of the Federal or District of Columbia governments to water from the Potomac River have not been fully cefined, the committee points out, nor is protection from pollution of the stream apparently adequately provided for in the future. The committee says | that in Maryland the Suburban Sani- |tary Commission can acquire rights, | while the power to prevent pollution | rests with the State Board of Health. | In Virginia the rights of the counties and cities in this regard do not appear as _clearly, according to the committee. | “The establishment of these rights and facts seems to the committee im- | portant,” continues the report, “because {by such establishment it may be possi- ble to defer expensive construction and |to use normal run-off of streams for {many years or in accordance with an | ultimate plan of development which will |include all the work in the immediate | future.” Small Streams in Reserve. | i | ‘There will always be in reserve in { case it is decided to develop some of the | | small streams, both on the Maryland and Virginia sides of the Potomac River, | |such streams as Difficult Run in Vir- ginia. This stream, as pointed out be- | fore in this series, runs during the| latter part of its course to the Potomac River through a deep and rugged gorge. and the committee belicves that even though in the case of a drought it may run dry or nearly so enough water may be stored behind a comparatively inex- pensively constructed dam, which can | be used for two purposes—(1) either to | supply purely local Virginia communi- | ties, or (2) to increase olume of water {in the general system which as been | proposed for the supply of the District of Columbia, Arlington County and Alex- | andria and the nearby ortions of Mary- land in Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties. The joint committee which represents the Federal authorities and the States of Maryland and Virginia, or portions of them, has not been entirely unani- mous in’ drafting its preliminary report THE MESSAGE OF THE FLOWERS Send It BY WIRE Thru to the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission Robert B. Morse, chief engineer of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, attached to -the commit- tee's report a statement in which he says that he does not agree that if Arlington County should continue tak- ing water from the District of Colum- bia's system it would not be disadvan- tageous for the City of Alexandria and Fairfax County to develop Occoquan Creek to the extent necessary for toeir purposes. Would Provide Funds. ““The land now owned by the Alexan- dria Water Co. in the neighborhood of its reservoir,” says Mr. Morse, “would probably yield enough when 'sold to bring Occoquan water through Fairfax into Alexandria. “I ‘think an insufficient engineering study has been made- of the - Arlington County water supply situation. Com- paratively little expenditure will have been wasted even if .Arlington County should combine with Fairfax County and Alexandria in developing the Occo- quan supply. It does appear to me, however, that Occoquan’ Creek' is worthy of careful investigation, not only as & source of supply for all the terriiory in Virginia lying near the. District of Co- | Jumbia but also as the next step in enlarging the supply for the District, whereby Occoquan Creck would be de- veloped for the joint use of Virginia and the District of Columbia, whether this be by division of construction ex- penditures or through capital funds be- ing supplied entirely by one party which would still sell water to the others.” Mr. Morse says that the arrangement he has proposed would not interfere with the development of the Patuxent River and Seneca Creek for a large area in Maryland and the outlying areas of the District of Columbia, and adds fur- ther that he is “unalterably opposed” to the development of such streams as Difficult Run, Accotink and Pohick Creeks. He thinks these latter creeks have too small watersheds, and the area around them will be too densely | populated for water supply purposes over any considerable period of yea WE CAN RENT YOUR VACANT PROPERTY Thos.

Final ratification will have to receive the sanction of the stock- holders of the two banks at their meetings to be held October 20th, 1930. When this is consummated immediate steps will be taken for the actual consolidation of the two institutions under the name of the FEDERAL-AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK AND TRUST COMPANY. It is the purpose of the consolidation to continue all directors, all officers and all employes of both banks, and to operate all five banking offices, namely— Fourteenth and G Streets Fifteenth and H Streets Dupont Circle Pennsylvania Avenue and Twentieth Street Brookland (Twelfth and Newton Streets N.E.) It is hoped that the consolidation with its increased resources and service will continue to bespeak the confidence and patronage heretofore enjoyed by both banks.
