‘35 = - HGHWAY HEARIES | G0 TO RHMOND Arlington County Hopes of | Funds This Year Not Encouraging. { By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va., December 3.— Hearings of the State Highway Com-! mission on petit ons for road constru tion and improvements from all of the | counties, which were begun i roke Tuesday and continued in Charlottesville yesterday, were re- gumed here tod: the “house. sold-out” sign hanging from the door almost before the meeting had con- vened, The hearings today, which are ex- t long enough to insure s for all, will end the com- eld work. Whatever im pressions the appeals of the people themselves may have made upon the eppropriat.ons that have airealy been tentatively allocated will be more care- fully studied by the commissioners ring the rest of the month. And then “available funds will be dis tributed It seems moderately certain that for the second suce e year Arling ton County will receive no finaneial assistance from the State Connnission. Despite the arranged pe: °n the Lee vard 1nd ht-to-the-bridge * groups, a atorical eloquence of State Senator Ball and District At- torney William C. Gloth, few road au- thorities present felt that the com- missioners would change iheir minds about Arl.ngton County. Hearing for 42 Counties, The commission is hearing delega- tions from the counties in the Fred- ericksburg, Richmond and Suffolk districts today. The three take in 42 counties. Although none of these counties occupi posit.on of cimilar importance to Washington as Arling- ton, the National Capital seems to be the ultimate destination of every im- proved highway in Virginia, and sev eral projects are to be presented, it s understood, for giving certain com- munities more direct access to the big white city on the northern shores of the Potomac. Never betore in the history of Vir- ginfa has there been such a demon- stration for “good roads” as was pre- zented to the commission at Char- Iottesville vesterday. Long before 9 o'clock. when the first delegation was to take the floor, every seat in the courtroom, where the meeting was heid, was occupied, the aisles were banked solid and the walls were lined by shifting, neck-craning, loudly ap- planding men and women. In the corridors of the courthouse a pushing, anxious line zig-zaggea from the door of the courtroom clear outside the courthouse and for a full balf-block up an_astonished Char- lottesville street. There they stood in & biting wind for half the day, until the commissioners, acquainted with the situation, suggested that it might be the polite thing for those who had been in the hearing chamber for some time to surrender their places to those who had not yet found even standing room inside. Delegations Are Many. Represented in the crowd were the counties of Albemarle, Arlington, Cul- peper, rfax, Fauquier, Fluvanna, Greene, Loudoun, Louis Orange, Prince William, nock, Allegheny, Augusta, Bath, Clarke, Frederick, Highland, Page, Rockbridge, Rockingham, Shenan- doah. Warren, Amherst, Appomattox, Buckingham, Campbell, =~ Charlotte, Cumiberland,” Halifax, Nelson, Pitt- sylvania and Prince ldward. The people of Allegheny County alone sent a delegation of 125 of the most prominent men in that section. They hired a whole special train and journeved to Charlottesville to pray | with the commissione to let no| pleas from elsewhere dissaude them from their present plan to complete the final 18-mile gap of dirt road that severs the Midland Trail in the west- ern part of Virginia. The commissioner provided for this siratch 1n its tentative allocations, but’ Alleghany County was so afraid some of its good neighbors might talk the road officials out of the appropria- tign that th nd their boosters to copsclidate the victory. Paving ot the gap, it was declared, will complete a. transcontinental highway that bi- sects the Nation and save Virginia- Hound tourists a detour of several huhdred miles. It was predict the increased traffic would a enough eas tax in a single vear to pay tor the job.

It was an appeal for enough money to pave the small stretch on the direct road from Mount Royal to Washington. This thorough- fare, probably to be known as the John Marshall Highway, would cut 30 miles from the mileags hetween the northern part of the Shenandoah Valley and the National Capital. Another argument advanced in favor of this road, and an argument that was adopted by many other dele- gates, was that it would provide the approach that eventually must be built to the northern, or Front Royal entrance to the Shenandeah National Park. Only nine miles necds to be paved to complete this highway and although it was ignored in the tenta- cve allocations, it was pradicted that funds for this purpose m‘ght be found !when the final allocations are made. Discovery Twice Made. Only a few minutes after one speak- from farther down the Blue Ridge expounded the story of how Gov. Spottswood sfood on what is now the Spottswood Trail and discovered the “Valley of Virginia,” an orator from Front Royal rewrote the dictionary telling how John Lederer, a Fran- ciscan monk, followed the route of what is koon to be the John Marshall Highway and from the gap at Front Royal discovered the valley ‘“years before Spottswood was born. Still_another proposal that holds especial interest for Washington mo- torists concerned the completion of a link connecting the Lee Highway and the Richmond.Washington Highway near Quantico. Should this link be built, covering but a few miles, it was said the people of Washington would be provided an ideal new Sunday drive of about $0 miles around the en- tire qircuit, mud-bound farmers would be glven metropolitan markets, and the Quantico Marines would have an- other road for use in an emergency. The Marines sent a delegation of officers to appeal for this link as a national defénse measure. If an blew up the Richmond, Fredericks- burg and Petersburg bridge, and any one of the bridges on the Richmond- Washington road, the Marines would virtually be locked in Quantico. With the additional spur, however, they could skip out via the Lee High- way. Many more proposals were ad- vanced, most of which aimed to give | Virginia farmers and business! | the | veople, not to inention the tourists, | better ‘access to the National Capital. | One of these was a request for com- ! pletion-of a hard-surface road to Ma- | nassas and the scene of Stonewall Jackson's tamous stand. The commis- | sion took copious notes on all, but, as |1t was pointed out, if all of the re- ests were granted, even the Fed- cral Treasury could scarcely meet the agaregate bill. i CHICAGO U. GETS $415,000 | George Herbert Jones Gives Fund to Build New Laboratory. CHICAGO, December 3 (#).—A gift of $415,000 to the University of Chi- cago from George Herbert Jones, a director of the Inland Steel Co., was announced.

The District of Columbia Society, Dames of the Loyal Legion, yesterday was asked to co-operate with the Mili- tary Order of the Loyal Legion to ob- tain action toward the adoption and enforcement of a regulation prohibit- ing the use of a fringe on the Ungit States flag: also to see that the fl are otherwise made according to mili- tary specifications. The society’s as- sistance was formally solicited in a letter from Rear Admiral Samuel Harrington, national commander of the Miiitary Order of the Loyal Le- gion, read at a meeting of the society in the Roosevelt Hotel yester noon. Although no definite action was taken, the matter being deferred until a future meeting, general sentiment. in favor of the soclety co-operating was expressed by several of the mem. bers following adjournment. The letter from Admiral Harrington also marked the formal recognition of the Dames of the Loyal Legion as an auxiliary of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion by the latter organize- tion, it was stated. The two organi- co-operate with each other in working for various causes. cuss School Work.
