Hu W-- i Coni SeM Olney Sewer Line Plan Hearing Set Substantial official and public opposition to a proposed sewer line to Olney is expected to presented to the Coun ty Council at a public hearing this month. The Council this week set the j J hearing on this and other pro- I posals in the Washington Sub- I urban Sanitary Commission’s ' tentative program of expanded , services for the next five years, ; for 3 p.m. Sept. 18 at the County Building in Rockville. Heading the opposition to the Olney sewer will be spokesmen for the Maryland-National Capi tal Park and Planning Commis sion, which claims the line will encourage uncontrolled develop ment in conflict with a revised general plan for the area in the Patuxent watershed.
