(Copyright, 1920, by North American Newspaper Alliance. ) AUTHORITY SOUGHT OVER LEE HIGHWAY Arlington County Fights for Right to Select Route of Boulevard. A bitter fight to transfer anthority for the selection of the route of the propesed new Lee houlevard from the Lee Highwav Assoclation, which maintains its headquarters in Wash ington. to the Board of Supervisors of Arlington County loomed as a growing possibility last night follow ing a meeting of 4 number of citizens of Arlington County here. Although the new route was supposed to he announced until the mass meeting that is to be held in the Washington Auditorium next Wednesday evening, at which Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover and Gov Byrd of Virginia will be speakers, the group that attended the meeting last night were under the belief that the highway would follow what is known as the “southerly route,” through Hatfield. - H Selection Will Be Contested. Final selection of this route, it was declared, will be contested doggedly. A resolution was adopted demanding that the so-called “Taylor avenue | route, which would start at Rosslyn and run through Clarendon, Ballston and Falls Church” be designated, in- stead, speakers asserting that it is two miles shorter than the other not tles for economy in construction costs, | and that it would serve the interests | of the greatest majority of people of Arlington County. In order to present organized oppo sition to the route the Lee Highway Association is understood to be ready to Indorse, the meeting formed a per- | association, to he known as Straight-to-the-Bridge Associa- tion.’ At the same time the meet. ing went on record taking the stand that no “outside” organization has either a moral or legal right to come into Arlington County and dic- tate the course a road through that community shall follow. Such author ity is vested only in the Board of Supervisors, it was declared. Proposed Route Outlined. The route favored by those attend- ing last night’s meeting would be direct from the Memorial Bridge, which is now in the course of con- struction, through Ballston and Clarendon and on out through Falls Church to the Luray entrance to the newly created Shenandoah National Park, where the boulevard would be connected with the transcontinental route of the Lee Highway. The | boulevard contemplates 200-foot | right of way as far as the Shenandoah National Park. Although the course of the “south- erly route” is not definitely known outside of the Lee Highw: Associa- tion, enough has been learned, Arthur Orr of Lyon Park, Va., told the meel- ing, to make it certain that this route would not be to the best interests of the majority of residents of Arlington County. He charged the Lee High. way Association with having neglect- ed the people of Arlington County in mapping the proposed route. Demands Consideration. We fully recognize,” Mr. Orr as. serted, “that the Lee boulevard will | serve a national purpose if it is es tablished. But it is the people of Arlington County who will be most vitally affected by the route it follows, | and our wishes in this connection should be given due (‘lmnmerfllinn.| This highway will constitute the most | direct route to Washington for thou- sands upon thousands of people in Fairfax and Arlington Countles. Adoption of “the shorter route” via Taylor avenue, it was declared, would in no way interefere with the Lee Highway Association’s plans to make the boulevard the greatest of its kind in the country. Ample land can be obtained for a 200-font right-of-way, in which the association plans to have special roads for fast trafie, park- ways and roads for slower traffic, speakers declared. The resolution in which the meeting set forth Its objections vigorously protests “against the selection, desig- nation or establishment of any nigh- | way in Arlington County or the formation of any agreement by county or State officers with respect thereto, until the people of Arlington County have had an opportunity for a full and free discussion of the merits of such a highway. Protests Diversion of Funds. The resolution also protests against the diversion of any State, county or Federal road funds to the improvement Fatway across Arlington County tn the Memorial Bridge, “in \Which the rights and interests of the tory affected have not been the para. ing on an ethical plane and to make mount consideration, and the inte; it as attractive and representative of the soundness of Washington renlty possible.

BY ROBERT T. SMALL. CHICAGO, June 26—Gov. Al Smith's “tour” of the Central West has started a torrent of political gos sip. The New York chief executive in- sisted he came West merely on a va- cation and to spend a couple of his vacation days at the Eucharistic Con- gress of the Catholic Church. During his stay in the West the governor re Hiously discussing politi questioning conld make him break this rule. Nevertheless, the goveruor moved In a political atmosphere, and wher ever he went there politics went also. Gov. Smith stopped off in Michigan, “rested” here in Chicago for two days and a half, journeyed to Milwaukee to spend six hours, and then hiked away to Columbus, Ohlo, before entraining for the return trip to Albany.

If some campalgn manager had o lined a trip for Gov. Smith at th time ha could hardly have made a het ter gelection. Michigan, Ilinois, Wis leonsin and Ohlo are four States from which the governor might have a rea %on to expect support for the prest denttal nomination in 1928. This is especially true of ‘Michigan, Illinols and Wisconsin. Ax a matter of fact, the governor's sit to Milwaukee was quite generally put down as an ex- pression of his gratitude for the sup- port the delegation from that State |gave him at Madison Square Garden |in 1924, He won the Wisconsin pri- maries that vear and his supporters in the State are getting ready 1o hack him again two vears hence The State Democratic commities will meet in Milwaukee next week to devise ways and means of gettins hack the official ballot of the State for democrac & been ar rather @ i’ Wisconsin, where the re between the lLa Fol- regul wings of the | Republican party | In no place publicly of the West has Gov.
