Westminster quenches thirst Accord ends city water battle Maryland Briefly By Russ Robinson Carroll County Bureau of The Sun Westminster Westminster will be allowed to draw an additional half-million gallons of water a day from the Patapsco watershed In return for promising to assist Baltimore city during a drought, according to an agreement signed last night by the mayors of both cities. Mayor Schaefer and Westminster Mayor LeRoy L. Conaway appeared before the Westminster City Council last night to formally present the agreement the two city leaders had worked out during the last three weeks. The pact, which still must be approved by Baltimore's Board of Estimates, ends a court battle between' the city and Westminster over water rights in the Patapsco watershed. Last spring, Westminster received a permit from the state to increase its daily draw from the watershed from 1.5 million gallons a day to 2 million gallons a day, but Baltimore sued in Circuit Court claiming the legislature had given the city proprietary rights to surface water flowing in the Patapsco watershed.

The watershed eventually flows into Liberty Reservoir, which is a primary source for Baltimore's water. A city Circuit Court judge agreed Baltimore owned rights to the water, but Westminster filed an appeal and was awaiting a hearing when the agreement was reached. Under the "Mayor Conaway was concerned for the people of Westminster and we wanted to make sure the people of Baltimore had water, too," Mayor Schaefer said. "I'm not very pleased having to go to court on things like this. I'm happy we worked it out." "I called Mayor Schaefer a couple of weeks ago and.

asked if I could come down and meet with him," Mayor Conaway said. The Westminster mayor said when he arrived in Baltimore, he rolled out a watershed map on Mr. Schaefer's desk and told him what Westminster wanted and why. In return, Mr. Conaway said Mayor Schaefer told him Baltimore's concerns over its water supply and within a short while, the two had worked out a compromise.

The wording of the agreement was left to the two cities' public works directors and attorneys. The agreement doesn't mean Westminster will begin drawing water anytime soon. The city in Carroll county had sought the additional water allocation as a cushion in case of drought. Westminster and Baltimore have been at odds over water rights for some time. Baltimore has developed a J340 million regional water-supply system along with Howard, Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties.

But Carroll and Harford have resisted joining the partnership, seeking instead to maintain local control over water supplies. Suspect shot by policeman A 29-year old Northwest Baltimore man suspected of breaking into a neighbor's home was shot early yesterday by a police officer whose gun discharged when the man rammed him with his head and shoulder, police reported. The suspect, who has not been charged yet because of his injuries, was listed in good condition yesterday at Sinai Hospital, The shooting occurred shortly after Officer John Hamilton Stokes, 28, responded to a burglary call in the 3700 block Yosemite avenue about 12:10 a.m., according to Sgt. Michael Bass, a police spokesman. Two other officers also responded to the call, which went out after police received complaints of an intruder from, the homeowner identified by police as Macabee Johnson, 56.

Sergeant Bass said Officer Stokes confronted the man near the back of the home where a screen door had been ripped and a pane of glass broken out of the kitchen door and ordered him to halt after drawing his service revolver. When the suspect turned to run, Officer Stokes called out, "He's coming your way," to his comrades, and the man's exit was blocked by a second officer, Sergeant Bass said. Police then had the man trapped between the side and the back of the house. "Stokes had his gun in his right hand and a flashlight in his left, the man lowered his right shoulder and charged with his head," said Sergeant Bass. "He knocked the officer on his back and his service revolver discharged." The bullet entered the left side of the suspect's groin and exited his left rear thigh just below the buttocks.

MAYOR SCHAEFER reaches water agreement terms of the agreement, the court case will be dropped. While the agreement gives Westminster the water it wants, it also acknowledges Baltimore's rights to water and Baltimore's need for "a reasonable downstream flow." In return for the water, Westminster agreed to help maintain that downstream flow by monitoring water flow in Cranberry Branch and Hull Creek, which both feed into Baltimore's system. During times of drought, Westminster agreed to turn on a reserve well and pump water into Baltimore's system Bill on fire, police pensions vetoed Man held in stabbing A 38-year-old East Baltimore resident, charged in a warrant with stabbing a man to death more than five months ago, surrendered to city police yesterday. Chester L. Dobbins, of the 600 block North Chester street, was being held at the Southeastern district lockup last night awaiting a bail hearing.

He is charged with stabbing a man to death May 1 in a Southeast Baltimore bar. John E. Hawkins, 28, of the 500 block Sues Grove road in trie Turkey Point area of Middle River, was stabbed to death after an argument with another man in the Play Pen bar, in the 800 block South Oldham street. Homicide detectives said Mr. Dobbins surrendered to Southeastern district police about 11:30 a.m.

yesterday after consulting with his lawyer. Bacon takes court post Bel Air John M. Bacon, Harford county personnel officer, has accepted the newly created post as personnel director for Baltimore's Supreme Bench. He will start the $30,000 job overseeing 300 employees November 18, leaving a $31,000 job in which he has jurisdiction over 700 employees. The personnel officer for Harford county employees since October, 1981, Mr.

Bacon, 34, will administer the judicial merit system for the consolidated court clerks' office that goes into effect January 1. Terry Deinlein, administrator for the Supreme Bench, confirmed that Mr. Bacon was selected by a committee consisting of Judge Robert L. Karwacki, administrative judge for the Supreme Bench; Saundra E. Banks, who is unopposed for election as clerk of the Baltimore court, and Theodore E.

Thornton, state secretary of personnel. The Supreme Bench judges approved Mr. Bacon's selection Thursday. Mr. Bacon said he would have preferred to remain in Harford county but is making the change because he does not know if the next county executive will retain current department heads.

"I haven't heard from either one I didn't want to be in a position where I would be caught short," Mr. Bacon said, referring to Habern W. Freeman, and C. Joseph Bernardo, the Democratic and Republican candidates, respectively, in the November 2 election. Driver, 36, dies in crash A 36-year-old southern Anne Arundel county man was killed late Sunday night when his 1982 Volvo ran off the road near his Dunkirk home, broke through a fence, and rolled over a half-dozen times before coming to a rest.

County police said Michael Ford Parks, of the unit block Fairhaven road, was traveling west on Route 261 toward Solomons Island road about 10:04 p.m. when he lost control of his car and ran off the left side of the roadway. Mr. Parks was rushed by ambulance to Anne Arundel County General Hospital, where officials declared him dead by 11:30 p.m. Policeman hit by car A Southwestern District policeman lost two front teeth and received cuts on his head and back last night when he was hit by a car while chasing a man across Edmondson avenue, the Police Department reported.

Officer Nathaniel Green, 27, was investigating an earlier accident when he spotted a spectator a man he thought was about to grab his partner's gun standing nearby in the traffic median. He said he ordered the man to leave, and when he came back a few minutes later, Officer Green began to chase him. However, the man got away as Officer Green was struck by a car near the intersection of Edmondson and Lyndhurst street about 8 p.m. Officer Green was being treated last night at St. Agnes Hospital.

The driver of the car, Faith Dedmon, 29, of the 4100 block Mountwood road, was charged with failing to give due care to a pedestrian. By Sandy Banisky years of highest salaries rather than on the five highest years of pay. The shorter formula usually improves the base salary on which payments are figured. "We're going to fight to override" the veto, said John E. Roberts, the president of the Retired Fire Fighters and Fire Officers Association.

Fifteen Council votes are needed to override the mayor's veto. James F. Garrity, lawyer for the-Retired Policemen's Benevolent As Mayor Schaefer has vetoed a bill that would adjust pension formulas for fire fighters and police officers who retired between 1962 and 1973, but fire and police representatives say they will not give up their campaign. The bill in question would base pension payments for members of the fire and police retirement system on the average of the three consecutive The city administers two pension funds the employees' retirement system and the fire and police retirement system. Since 1974, city pensions have been figured on the three highest-paying years, rather than five, according to Max Leslie, the pension systems' administrator.

But for members of the fire and police pension system who retired between 1962 when the fire and police pension fund was organized and 1973, supplemental pension payments are still based on a formula of the five highest-paying years. Mr. Garrity called the mayor's reference to cost "a matter of semantics." "It isn't that many people affected," Mr. Roberts said. "The amount involved cannot be that great, and the handling of it cannot be that difficult." Mr.

Leslie said the bill was passed "over my administrative and legal objections. It's an administrative nightmare. The bill presents major problems in how to apply this. "I don't know whether the bill would cost us anything because I don't know how many people would be eligible," Mr. Leslie said.

sociation of Baltimore City, said he thought it "very likely" that his clients will ask the Council to vote again on the measure, which was introduced in September, 1981. "We'd certainly find out who's for us and who's against us next year being an election year," Mr. Garrity said. In a message to the City Council, Mayor Schaefer said he vetoed the bill a rare move because the city's law office found the bill to be "legally insufficient," citing "unclear language." Mr. Schaefer also said the bill "would significantly increase the city costs." The mayor's letter did not specify what the new pension formula would cost.
