CLARENDON, Va., September 21— | Employment of an expert to assist the recently appointed zoning commission of Arlington County is urged by Mil- | ford Witts, secretary-manager of the Arlington County Chamber of Com- merce, in a statement issued last night. “Zoning and city planning is a sub- ject demanding expert treatment,” Mr, Witts declares, “and Arlington County will never make the proper progress unless a zoning expert is put on the job at once. “The zoning commission appointed by the supervisors four months after the State Legislature gave the county authority to zone is made up of worthy people willing to give the subject the few hours’ attention that | can be found after business hours, but { people occupied with their own busi- ness cannot be expected to work out the multitudinous details which are necessary for a comprehensive plan nor have they the time to draw maps | and gather other data necessary for proper zoning of a community. “Unless the people of Arlington County do more than pass resolutions favoring zoning ordinances and other worthy projects connected with pub- lic improvements, the county will find itself outstripped by other sections in the Greater Washington area. Zoning is the backbone of well built commu- nities, and people willing to come to Arlington County want to know whether their homes will be next to business establishments or whether they will be in a residential district.” o For the first time in 75 years of its history the American Society of Civil Engineers has just elected a woman to full membership.
