It will present the dealers’ case before the chairman of the Senate and House District committees Tuesday. George M.

A IR T R AN AN 3 3pecial Dispatch to The Stas. CLARENDON, Va., February 18.— Water for fire protection in Arlington County, the lack of which has been blamed for great property loss through fire, is now available at 161 points, ac- cording to a detailed report on the county's water system, submitted to a special meeting of the board of nui)cr- visors yesterday by Asa E. Phillips, engineer in charge. All sections of the county have been covered with the fire plugs and 137 houses have been connected with the service, the report shows. Expenditures to date, the report shows, total $571,464.85; leaving a bal- ance in the water fund of $173,535.15, with bills due and payable of $22.866.15. A sum of $14,000 expended for fire hydrants out of the general water fund is returnable from a special hydrant fund, which has since been secured. ‘The expenditures are itemized by the report as follows: Supply main construc- tion, $443,949.19; for the reservoir, cluding cost of the land, $70,124.59; for service mains and house connec- 5 and other materials now on hand and paid for, $26,000. The total receipts as of February 15, 1 the report shows, are as follows: Front- age charges, service mains, nections, $5.556.
