IS Special Dispateh to The Star. CLARENDON, Va., February 6.—At a meeting of citizens of northern Virginia held Saturday night under auspices of the Arlington County Chamber of Com- merce resolutions were adopted fatoring inclusion in the State road system of the roposed John Marshall highway, and ;’ndt‘:’tmfl the straight-to-the-bridge boulevard across Arlington County as the first link. The John Marshall highway will ex- tend from the new Memorial Bridge in practically an air line to the northern Park at Front Royal, passing the home of the former Chief Justice at Marshall. Representatives were in attendance from Arlington, Fairfax, Fauquier, War- ren and Shenandoah Counties. ~Hugh E. Naylor of Front Royal, president of the Shenandoah National Park High- way Association, which is sponsoring the John Marshall highway, predicted the ultimate extension of the road to the Pacific coast as a national memo- rial to the former Chief Justice. Frank Tavener of Shenandoah County said the State had taken over for im- provement that portion of the high- way between Front Royal and the Val- ley Pike at Strasburg, and that the completion of the road would bring thousands of dollars of the valley's farm and orchard produce to Washington and Alexandia which is now going to Baltimore. Delegate John T. Ramey of Marshall, representing Fauquier County in the General Assembly, assured the gathering there was reasonable hope of the project’s ultimate realization as a State highway. A motion by William P. Ames, sec- onded by Ashton C. Jones, both of Ar- lington County, recommending a_joint session in the near future of the Cham- bers of Commerce of Arlington and Fairfax Counties and the city of Alex- andria to consider the commercial ad- vantages which this section of Virginia will derive from the building of the highway, was adopted. State Senator Frank L. Ball and Delegate Hugh Reid of Arlington explained the various highway bills now under consideration by the General Assembly and the num- ber of miles of State roads to whici the county would be entitled under the respective bills. Arthur Orr, president of the Sraight-to-the-bridge Boulevard Association, which is the Arlington County unit of the general organization, presided. . ROCKVILLE.
