Kanerva presented photographs and 300 feet of colo~ film to document his findings that sedlmentatloo from gravel pits In the Branchville (Beltsville) and Calverton ·areas pollute :Indian Creek and I.Jttle Paint Branch, both of which are tributaries of the Anacostla River. The pictures also showed that at Smith's sand and grav~l plant on Greenbelt Road,. a 40-foot high storage pile erodes into Indian Creek, a plp(lllne carryIng clay effluent washed from sand and gravel ·leaks Into the stream. and old concrete discharged from cement trucks onto the flood plain washes Into the creek.
As reported by the W.wdngton IJvenlng Star on November II, Smith denied that his operations at the Greenbelt Road plant, which he has owned since 1926, were polluting the creek and llllld that the
-sediment control system th~re "'s one of the beat systems Ill the nation." He said the U. S. Amrt Corps of Engineers, civic groupa and other gravel pit operators have come "from all over to see lt.;, Smith contended that the leakIng pipe was not over the creek but over a sediment control pond. Aocordlng to the Star story, he admitted that concrete trucks washPd out the residue of their loads onto his properties but llllld he had allocated a dump In this area and that the wash water does not flow Into the creek.
Testifying as a "friend of the court," Dr. Robert Mueller, former Greenbelter and Chairman of Prince Georges Citizens for 8'
Better Environment (PGCBEl, said that he had observed trucks dumping concrete onto the stream banks, and that he had collected water samples of the creek showIng that heavy drainage In the area carries the debris Into Indian Cref'k. He entered into the record nine color photographs of rubble deposited on the flood plain.
"We arc In need of prompt correction In this case," the Star quoted Hearing Offlcer Henry Sllbermann. At the end of the hearIng, Sllbermann ordered A. H. Smith to produce by November 19 a plan of compliance for curtailIng pollution at all the sites.
This Is the first action brought under House Bill 882, which went Into t>ffect on July 1. tightening water pollution controls and Imposing fines up to $10,000 and/or 8 one-year jail sentence per violation JWr day. Following complaints by PGCBE, the Department of Water Resources s_et the hearing date Initially for September 211. It was postponcd to October lll, when, according to the Wllllhln«ton PMt Smith Mllrd the State action ''hiU'IUIImrnt." He said, "We've sl>!'nt thousanda of dollars and have the cli!IUII'.st operation &rolllld." Dur to tho absence of his lawyer, thr hearing was continued and finally S<'Mduled for November 4.

·) The question of erosion was raised recently by certain Individuals, led· 'by &bert F. Meuller of Lanham, who have Interested themselves particularly In the ecology of ilndlan Creek. The group was also concerned about poaalble run-off Into the creek from ·a huge pile of flU dirt that had been placed at the water's edge.
According to clt,y I'D&n&ler James K. Oleae, this dirt had been excavated when Gentry Drive was recently widened and paved.__ At the request of the developers of Springhill Lake, Contee Sand and Gravel Co., contractors for the Gentry Dr. work, placed the till dirt for use 1.1'1 constructing both the culvert and the road approaches on either side of the calvert.
In surveying thl' dirt pile and Its proximity to the creek, a representative of the Water Resourees staff suggested thr<>e changes to be put Into effect Immediately. He recommended, first, that the pile be pulled back from the creek and that a berm, or channel, be cut Into Its side to direct rainfall toward an area beside the culvert site which functions as a settling basin.
He also rl'<'ommcnded that dirt be built up on the outer ('dge of a construction roadway around the pile, in effect making another berm out of the roadway, also to channel water into the settling basin.
His third suggestion was to construct a riprap shoreline of stones on the upstream side of a diversionary dam, which will be In use during the period that the box culvert Is actually under construction. Following a directive from the city, work on all these recommr.ndations was being carried out at once.

(EDITOR'S NOTE:) The following brief history of the Greenbelt News Review is pubLished for the benefit of new residents of Green-belt on the occasion of the newspaper's 33rd anniversary. The sta:t1 is ceLebrating wmpletion of its fjrst third of a century with an open house on Thursday, November 19, from 8 to 10 p.m.)__----------·----·
Six-weeksaffertneffrst residents of Greenbelt unpacked their household belongings in 1937, a newspaper was issued. Recognizing the immediate need. for a news medium, the first families formed on November 11, 1937, a journalistic Club to issue a weekly paper, the "Greenbelt Co-operator."
The policies of that paper, as formulated at the meeting were: to serve as a nonprofit enterprise, to remain nonpartisan in politics, to remain neutral in religious matters, to print the news accurately and regularly, to make its pages an open forum for civic affairs, to develop a staff of volunteer writers, and to create a "good
and develop a "Greenbelt philosophy of life." . These principles still guWe the
motives and actions of the preaent Greenbelt Newa Review, the dlreet descendant of the Greenbelt Cooprator. The name was chlulged In September, 1964. In order to clarIfy the lndendent status of the paper and prevent Its being confused with numerous other c<HJP organizations In Greenbelt. The Journalistic Club lasted unW July,

Both long-l'BJlge and short-range plans are under consideration to develop Southway Rd. Into an attractive entrance to the city. Although the city's jurisdiction ends just north of the exit road from the Baltimore-Washington· Parkway, the city plans eventually to landscape all Islands dividing the road to create a unified and harmonious Impression, Including those In "the maintenance area of the State Roads Commission. Some plantings of trees and beds of flowers are currently under consideration.
Final landscaping plans will be drawn up In the near future following a meeting . of city represenl4~ with landscapers from the it~ads Commission.
Currently, both the contractor and the city crew are at work on Immediate landscaping plans. The contractor's men laid IIOd llelrt to the new curb~ .on November 1 and 9. Simultaneously, the city crew began the restoration of heclpe that had been removed when the street" was widened. · To expedite ti'a1llc, the clt,y crew has also painted temporary lines to mark stop zones and tra11ic lanes.
All of the paving work that could be accomplished by machine ha.s been completcd. In addition. the northern entrance to the Co-op gas station was excavated and repaved to a lower grade, but without benefit of the machine. One narrow section of the main roadway Is stlll to be completed.
Almost all concrete work has been finished. Over the weekend the contractor poured the last remaining extended section of sidewalk, at the northwest corner of the Ridge and Southway intersection.
GHI Appeals Tax Decision Greenbelt Homes, Inc. has ap
pealed a drcision by the Supervisor of Assessments of Prince GeorgllB County regarding the reassessment of GHI properties. At issue is a June 1970 order handed down by the Maryland Tax Court. which the county assessor's office Interpreted as upholding In full the increase In the valuation of GHI property from $6,400,000 to $7,980,000.
GHI, which reads the order dlff~rcntly, ha.s directed Its attorney, Albrrt Ginsbrrg. to carry the cas<' to the courts. The first step Is an appeal to the administrative courts for a review of the county assessor's decision. GHI hopes to have a hearing before the end of the year, but In the meantime Is charging members for taxea based on the full reassessment.
. 1940, when It was converted lllto the Greenbelt Cooperative Publlah
.lng Association, which hu continued the ·sponsorship of the paper ever since. An Incorporation charter for the Association was granted In September, 1941, by the District of Columbia.
The F1rllt IMue The first Issue of the Cooperator,
appearing on November 24, 1937, was a neatly mimeographed paper · containing sixteen letter-sized pages of local news and editorial content.
The newspaper has appeared regularly every week since then for thirty-three Ye&l'll"
The paper was prepared at the homes of various staff members untit January, 1938; ,when the Federal Government (which owned Greenbelt at that time) made apace available all the Center; free of cost, and also loaned much-needed furniture, typewriters aad ofttlle equipment. To meet the COIItl of paper, Ink. and stencils a cbarp of tlve cents per copy waa made beginning with the Issue of January II, 1938. Distribution was turned over to the Boy Scout troop, which was allowed to retain two cents for each paper sold.
Free Delivery An Important development In the
history of the newspaper was the decision to deliver the Cooperator free of charge to every home In town, beginning with the Issue of September 7, 1939. The additional cost of local distribution was sm~ll. and this radical change of policy provided larger circulation figures, which could be used as evidence of the value of advertising in th!' Cooperator, once Its distribution had become community wide. The town government engaged more and more space for the publication of pending ordinances, budgets and the like.
The policy of free distribution remalnt'd unchanged until July, 11163, when the paper was forced b7 financial straits to go to a subscription basis -- $3 a year. The response was fairly encouraging. but the added cost of maintaining subscription records convinced the governing body that the additional Income was not worth the additional workload. In January, 19115, the paper rdurned to rlty-wi•l• circulation.
Financial difficulties continurd to plague the newspaper, and appeals were made to the businesses and organizations In town for funds. Finally, in April, 1969, the Nt~WB
Re\irw resorted to a house-tohouse community-wid" drive for funds. Organized by the drive chairman Elaine Skolnik, who wa.s

BULLETIN At Tuesday's meeting, Sidney
Brown, president of Firat National Realty Corp. signed a statement to undertake further implementation of plans to com· plete work on the embankment next to S. Klein's, Brown hu contracted with sedimentation consultant Robert Balter of Baltimore who drew up the orIginal corrective plans. According to a Water Resources oftlclal Brown promised that he would start work after the plans are completed. This Is expected to take about three weeki.
Brown told the New. RevieW,· "we are (Oing forward to do additional corrective work on the slope." Half of the work has been completed, he said, referring to that portion of the land between Greenbelt Road and the Board of Education maintenance building on top of the embankment. He obeerved that this area Is now protected • and ''it Is no longer a queatlon of- tha ..Iope_llebig danpmua but a matter of· sloucblng." Work yet to be done Includes some cutting back at the top for swales, stabilization of the clay by replacement with other materials and ttniilly seeding.
eliminate the hazardous land situation. Arranged ·also was an easement given by the Board of EduCIItlon to First National, so that the top of the slope, on school board property, could be drained by
·.means of a trough which would collect surface water and channel it Into paved swales that will run laterally down the slope and lnto the sewer system.
According to Rennie. the soil on the bank is of unstable material and from now until April or May will be especially hazardous, since this type of clay "flows like slurry." The condition, Rennie says, has to be stabilized not just on the surface but f~r down, so that the stabilized material acts as a dam. Brown about a year ago started to correct the situation. This could be accomplished by digging out the face of the unstable material and discarding or replacing It with a sandy or porous type of material with weight to sufficiently lay the material back over and hold like a wall.
