The Arlington Memorial Bridge, the Lee Boulevard and the Shenandoah National Park, Mr. Hoge declared, are going to be the most imp t fac- tors in the futuresof Arlin ty, and the people should promulgate | a plan for internal development that would be in keepin those great projects. He advised against letting the county grow haphazardly, as it has in the past 10 y Bond Issue Urged.

He said there was not, except that the Straight-to-the-bridge Boulevard Association was keen for priority of construction. “The Lee Highway Association would like to see both roads become a part of the State highway system and receive State aid. There is a great need for the direct route, and the Lee Highway Association is absolutely not opposed to it.” Mr. Hoge said that he had just re- ceived word that the Highway Com- mission’s engineers were making prep- erations to survey both proposed roads and that they probably would arrive in about a week. Glebe Road Condition Hit. The meeting went on record de- ploring the condition of the Glebe road and authorized the appointment of a committee to take the matter up with the proper authorities to seek relfef.

Cannon, delegate of the assoclation to the seventh an- hual conference of the Lee Highway Association at Luray, rendered a de- tailed report of the three-day session. Another committee was authorized to keep in touch with the Lee High- way Association and to report its ac- tivities back to the local association.

FORD'S PERSONAL VALUE DESCRIBED Witness at Tax Hearing Holds Company Could Have Gone on Without Him. What might have happened to the value of Ford motor stock if Henry Ford had died in 1913 formed the basis of argument today in the hearing of the Government's tax suit to re- cover $30,000,000 from former mi- nority stockholders in the Ford Co. Paul M. Clay, economic expert, in reply to a question by Ernest H. Van Fossan of the Boar dof Tax Appeals, said that the personality and the genius of Henry Ford comprised such decisive value s an intangiblo asset that his disappearance in 1913 would have warranted a lower evaluation of the stock than had subsequently been made. Edwin R. Tinker, former vice pres- ident of the Chase Natlonal Bank and later chairman of the board of the Chase Securities Co., New York, tes- tified that in his opinion the death of Ford in March, 1913, would not have materially affected the expan- sion and operating policies of the plant. “The Ford company was so thor- oughly established in 1913, its poll- | cles were so definitely organized, that the elimination of Mr. Ford would not have interfered with its further progress,” he sald. The ness estimated the value of Ford stock as of March 1, 1913, as ranging between $10,000 and $§12,500 a share. HUTRADENA CLUB GROWS Officers and Board of Governors to Meet Friday Night.
