The water plan was explained to a large gathering of Arlington County citizens at a mass meeting held last night under the jolnt auspices of the Ashton Heights Woman’s Club and the Ashton Heights Citizens' Associ- ation. Asa E. Phillips, consulting engineer to the Board of Watey Sup- ply, the principal speaker, answered many questions of vital interest to the issue, clarifying all phases to the apparent satisfaction of the audience. The colored residents of Halls Hill were one of the latest groups of county residents to give indorsement to the plan for water. This was regis- tered at a mass meoting held under the auspices of the Arlington County Colored Citizens' Association in the John Langston School house last night, following addresses in explana- tion of the plan by . Turnburke, chairman of the board of supervisors and member of the water board; Ash- ton C. Jones, land assessor; C. R. Taylor, president emeritus of the Clarendon Citizens’ Association; L. C. McNemar, member of the Arlington County Water Supply Commission. and Robert 1. Janson, president of the Cherrydale Volunteer Fire Deparf ment. Mr. Turnburke stressed preference of 2 municipally-owned water plant over a private] owned one. Mr. Taylor spoke on the value of the vote and the duty of all cit- izens to exercise thelr right of fran- chis Mr. Janson spoke on precinct, Rucker and Mrs. point.

The insurance companies, under the law, pay only three-quarters of the value of a home that is totally de- stroyed by fire and full value of dam- age when a home,suffers a fire loss of less than three-quarters of its value. When a. house is insured to its full value and is totally destroyed by fire the property owner suffers a financial loss, but when the fire is held within the three-quarter’s limit, which can be done in most cases with plenty of water, no financial loss is sustained by the owner, Mr. Jones said.
