THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, JULY PRUPOSED SEWER | - ORDIKANGE 1S HIT: Retroactive Features in Alex- andria Is Subject of Contention. LY HOWARD M. BAGGETT, S1aft Correspondent of The Star ' ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 7.—Oppo-| sition within City Council to the retro- | | sciive feature of the new sewer ordi- nonce, already placed cn its first read- | ing, hes been expressed and it is con- | sid-red likely.that this feature may be | eliminated from the bill before it is| fi passed. Public opinion on the matter will| come before council directly Thursday | sfternoon, when those affected by the | ordinance will be heard. The outcome | of this meeting will have a consider- 2ble becring on the matter in its final | Plan Tax for Use. the date of its rassage, that all prop- rty owncrs whose sewers are now ta t> private lines flowing into c r svstems shall pay ai the rate of $1.20 per linear front foot for a permit them the continued use of the m, provided no tapping fees been paid to the city or to former tswn of Potomac. | is provision, it has been estimated. fect some 600 property owners in | ons served by the Hooffs Run sewer | similar systems. and would n that about $40,000 would have to id into the city treasury by these v owners Vice Mayor Arthur Herbert, in dis- | cussing the matter yesterday, stated t after giving it serious considera- | tion he was opposed to the retroactive features of the ordinance on several grounds. In the first place, he stated. the crdinance does not hit those who lly owned the various prope:tics, ing largely of real estate de- rers, but will require thote who pur- ed property with the sewer systems dered as part of the purchase for this scrvice at thi cil have ever t | Reccived Greatest Tax Increase. The building of the Hooffs Run sew- r, which cost approximately $75.000, does benefit a particular section of the vice mayor stated, but it is of the city which received the greatest increase in real estate taxes in the recent reassessment. Real estate, he pointd out, bears the brunt ©f taxation since the segregation act, | ®nd the adding of an additional burden | at this time for something already being received will meet with great protest, he stated he believed While all expenditures of money by the city are designed to benefit the city as a whole, he stated, it is nevertheless slmest always true that some one sec- | tion will bencfit more by a particular | expenditure than other sections and the | money_spent in the building of the | Hoffs Run sewer is no exception to! this, | Would Change Tapping Rate. | Other features of the ordinance in- | clude the changing of the present tap- ping rate to city sewer systems from $2 per front foot pius a $20 tapping fee m} flat fee of $2.20 per front foot; the placing in the hands of the city juris diction and control over all privatel constructed sewer systems when and while such systems are connected with | city systems, and requiring that all in- dividual sewers or privately constructed svstems must be connected with the city svstem whenever a city line is available for connecticn, prohibiting the empt ing of sewage into wells, cesspools or | open streams when sewer connections with the city system is possible. Another provision requires payment at the rate of $1.20 per front foot for new taps into private sewer lines run- | ning into city systems where the tap- | ping is not done by the city. This fea- ture, it is believed, will not meet with | any opposition and it will only affest those who tap sewers in the future, but the retroactive feature of the ordinance | on this same basis is now considered | likely to fail when put to a vote in council.

BALTIMORE, July 7.—Why women will smoke on the busses, but will not do s0 on the str:ct cars, is a puzzle officials of the United Rail- ways, which controls the trolley systems of Baltimore, are trying to solve. For some time smoking has been permitted on the rear seats of Balti- more's street cars, a ruling put into effect for the Summer months and taken advantage of by many riders. However, the smokers are all men. There's not a woman among them “Women seem t> get quite a kick out of smoking on the tops of our busses,” said an official of the com- pany. “The first thing they do is get out a package of cigarettes and light up. However, inquiries among our mot:rmen and conductors reveal that apparently not a single, solitary woman has been seen smoking on a street car.” Nor does the compnay ee any hope of an immediate solution of the puzzle.
