Wushing- | ton planned for the growth and ex-| pansion of the Nations! Capital iv meet the needs of centuries. 8o shonld the people of today plan their roads | and boulevards, Dr. W. J. Showaiter, | vice president of the lee Highway Association, speaking in interests of the proposed 200-foot “l.ee boulevard, told a capacity audience in mass mee:- | ing in Columbia Pike Schoolhouse last | night. | The gathering was under auspices | of the Lee Highway Association of Arlington County, formed vecentiy v create county-wide sentimeni for (he | southerly route selected for the lee | houlevard and to assist promoiers in making @ success of the underlaking. Richard I.. Eacho. president, presided Other speakers wers J. Clovd Brars of Arlington, Charles R. Tayio: Clarendon, Walter U, Varney of 1oto: | mae and W. S. Hoge, ir.. chairman | of the right of way commiites of the Lee Highway Association Speaking in defense of the proposed | width of the houlevard, which some people, he said, might think is ideal istic and unnecessary, Dr. Showaiter sald that road travel is ever on the increase and that a 04-fool e vard will be no more in excess of the needs 25 years from now than the| present roads were thought (o be as many vears ago. A boulevard of | lesser proportions, Dr. Showalter add- | ed. would mot do full honor to the man for whom it is (o be named In building this boulevard, he said.) the thought must be kept that an| entrance is being buiit to the world's most magnificent capital and it is only ftting that it should be in keep- ing with the city's dignity and beauty. Promoters Given Praise. Dr. 8. Johnson, director general of | the Lee Highway Association, and William S. Hoge. jr., were lauded by the speaker, for their work in connec tion with the highway. *harles R. Tayior declared that suc cess of the Lee bhoulevard plans de pends on co-operaiion on the part of | all persons interested and a united front by the people of Arlington Coun- | ty. He said that many development | projects have heen pui over by Arlington County in recent years, but just as many have fallen by the way because of sectional ditferences and feeling. “The old adage goes,” he said, “that A house divided against eli cannot stand. We have been told that a 200- foot right of way has been given for the Lee boulevard. What are we g0ing to do about it? We are going to do nothing unless we sitop bicker- ing and accusing. Let us. in Arlington County, get together and thrash out our differences of opinions. giving full weight to honest expressions.” Mr. Varney declared that the boule- vard. when completed, will inure to the benefit of the entire county, re- gardless of where it is located. He ex pressed the view that the average citizen, busily engaged "in' keeping the wolf from the door.” is no judge of where and how the boulevard should be bulit, and that they should gauge the propodition by the type of men behind it, and let it go at that. Scoffs at Specutation. Mr. Hoge declared that reports of *wildcat speculation” in connection with the ggoposition “are amusing.” I'here is notning to tuem, he said, adding that if these have been any advances in values they were due to natural growth. “The people have not realized what they have over her,” he ®id. “Values in Arlington County 1ave MOt heen one-owrui of What they should be when the proximity of the county to ihe most valuable land in the world is considered.” He pictured a boulevard of actisiic beau- ty, stating that land owners along the proposed route have verbally agreed on architectural restrictions that cannot help but result in the highest type of home construction and settings. At a brief meeting of the Arlington Citizens’ Association, held prior to the mass meeting, a resolution offered by J. Cloyd Byars, urging the President of the United States 1o inaugurate a movement looking to greater develop- ment of the highway approaches to the National Capital, was unanimous- ly adopted. It follows: ‘“Whereas Arlington County can and uld be made the most desirable res- idential suburb in America, and “Whereas the greater Washington movement, contemplating the beauti. fication of the District of Columbia and adjacent territorv in Maryland and Virginia, deserves the approval and support of all patriotic citizens, and ““Whereas the approaches io Wash- ington from any direction are not only inadequate 10 accommodate the rapid- Clearing inen PLENTY OF HOT DAYS ARE COMING! 1926 Summer Suit Style Sensation erringbone —that were $22 $1 2.95 All Sizes—Blue—Grey and Tan.
