Special Dispatch to The Star. CLARENDON, Va., December 14.— Road conditions in Clarendon were assailed and officlals responsible were scored at a meeting of the Clarendon Citizens’ Association last night. It was pointed out that the community had been given many promises of relief, few of which had been fulfilled. Particular stress was laid on the poor condition of the roadway at the inter- section of Wilson boulevard, Claren- don avenue and Garrison road, it = pointed out that during the present rainy spell pedestrhns have to wade through water and mud ¢ to the tops of their shoes in ng the street. Not a single main thoroughfare in the community is fn a passable condition, it was said. It was deeided to send a committee of five to demand proper action. J. Thomas Manning was named cha man of the committee, which will consist of J. B. Swecker, Nolan Mitchell, George H. McCrillis and John F. Bushong. The committee was instructed to make a survey of the community for the purpose 6f supplying the county authorities with a list of roadways in need of im- mediate improvement. Water Distribution Discussed. Discussing the water situation the county, Harry C. Saffell, cha man of the citizens’ commission “whi initiated the plan for a modern water supply, stated that it was the purpose of the water board to supply the thick- ly settled areas first Maps, he said, are being prepared to show where the distribution mafns are to be placed, and when this is completed, which is expected to be in a few days, new ap- plication blanks will be provided. He pointed out that the cost'of installa- tion of fire hydrants must be paid from country funds, as no money was provided for them in the $750,000 bond issue. The fire departments of the county have been requested to make sugges- tions as to the location of the fire hydrants, which are estimated to cost approximately $200 each, he said. Explains Inspector's Job. Speaking in interest of the proposed amendment to the county plumbing ordinance aimed to provide a “living wage” for the plumbing inspector, George H. McCrillis, president of the Master Plumbers sociation, said many citizens have a mistaken idea as to the duties of the inspector and the money he will draw. He said only new work and remodeling jobs where a plumber makes changes in the sew- 50 D, in Give her something she can wear.

Members agreed that there was a need for a high-class plumbing inspec- tor, but expressed the view that he should be placed on a straight salary basis instead of having the office con- ducted on the fee system.
