The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission was created by
the General Assembly of Maryland in 1918. It is composed of six
members, two of whom are appointed by the Governor, two by the
County Council of Montgomery County, and two by the Board of
County Commissioners of Prince George's County. All serve for terms
of four years. When the Commission was organized, the Washington
Suburban Sanitary District had an area of 94 square miles. Additions
were made to the District in succeeding years by the General Assem-
bly of Maryland. It now contains 213 suare miles within Prince
George's and Montgomery counties adjacent to the District of Colum-

an assessed valuation in excess of 828 millions of dollars.

of the water supply and sewerage systems, has jurisdiction over storm
drainage, plumbing, and the location of utilities and provides refuse
disposal service within the Sanitary District. It also operates a
refuse collection service in the suburban portion of Montgomery
County. As of December 31, 1952, the water and sewerage systems
of the Commission contained 1,076 and 920 miles of mains respectively
