Special Dispatch to The Star. CLARENDON, Va., March 26.—Hop- ing to settle quickly and definitely several legal questions that- have arisen in connection with the pro- posal to bond Arlington district, Arlington county, for road develop- ment, the Ariington good roads com- mission has sought and has been promised the aid of Willlam J. In- gram, supervisor of Arlington dis- trict. For a month or more the commis- sion’s hands have been tied in its in- vestigations by uncertainty as to the extent to which the county and dis- tricts may bond for various improve- ments. Several attempts of the com- mission to get a “competent legal opinion” in the matter have failed. A resolution adopted by the execu- tive committee of the commission Monday evening, which requests the aid of Mr. Ingram, sets forth that there is a strong sentiment in favor of the early submission of the mat- ter to the people, in order that road improvements, if authorized. may be- gin during the coming summer.
