POTOMAC ENGINEER = IS HEARD BY COURT Maps Used in Annexation Case to Show Lack of Water and Sewers. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. ARLINGTON, Va., November 28.— George E. Garrett of Potomac, a civil engincer, testified for Alexandria in the annexation suit against Arlington County today, displaying numerous maps and giving the special court in- formation about sewers, water, etc. Following adjournment today court will suspend over Thanksgiving until Friday at 10 am. On completion of | Friday’s session the case will be post- poned until December 17 to permit the Judges hearing the proceedings to sit in _their home circuits. In the direct examination being con- ducted by Maj. Carter Hall of coun- sel for Alexandria, Mr. Garrett said maps were purchased from the Interior Department and had been made by the United States Geological Survey. He said none of the Arlington County water mains enter the territory sought by annexation, which includes the town of Potomac, and that the nearest ter- minus of the mains to the area is be- tween 1,000 and 2,000 feet distant. He s&id the water pipes in Aurora Hills are 8 inches in diameter, which, in his opinion, is too small unless auxiliaries are installed. One Fire House in Area. In explaining the distribution of fire apparatus in the count Mr. Garrett said that Arlington has nine fire companies, only one of which is located within the area proposed to be annexed, while there is only one other in close prox- velopment vgrenur than since the days ‘War,” Mayor William Al- bert Smoot of Alexandria, testified when called to the stand yesterday as a wit- ness for the city. “The Alexandria water front is now developed more than 90 per cent with the exception of that section occupied by the Virginia Ship- building Corporation, and the possible development of the water front will have to be to the north in the territory proposed to be annexed.” “In my opinion,” he continued, “the life of Alexandria City depends on the residential and industrial developme! There are a reasonable number df v cant houses, but they are of the old type, a type not being rented in any section. People are going to the sub- urbs in order to obtain more room than they can find in the city. There is noi sufficient area in Alexandria to accom- modate the inhabitants as they want to live.” Asked on cross-examination by John S. Barbour of the counsel for Arlington County if there were not many vacant business properties in the city, Mi. Smoot replied: “There are very few vacant business sites in the city. ‘The vacant property could not be used as industrial sites. I do not think the city can control the situation when resi- dents desire to move and leave their property vacant. The powers of a city are limited. Mr. Smoot told the court that the Potomac railroad yard, Mutual Ice Co. and Virginia Caroline Chemical Co. left the city because of the lack of area. “Alexandria City, I consider, is en- titled to additional land that will pro- vide for the development that all mod- ern cities now enjoy,” he said. “The area proposed to be annexed can be managed more economically by the city than by the county, in my opinion, By that I mean the area is adjacent to the city and we already have an efficient form of government that can go ahead and take over the territory without any changes in the form of the city government. I do not question the governing body of the county in any way when I say the city can handle the situation. “As far as the town of Potomac is concerned, the city can maintain the town with the $2.60 tax rate being paid imity. “Alexandria is at the crest of a de- 1 e sy, Ay W | R W T o Qhe T the county, without the additional $1.10 town tax now being paid.” THE EVENING 'THERAN COLLEGE DRIVE IS PLANNED |Vaudeville Program Among General Chairman Names Aids in Raising $100,000 for Purchase of Site. Edwin S. Clarkson, patent attorney, who has accepted the general chair- manship of the District campaign for $100,000 with which to purchase the site for the National Lutheran College for Women, near Wheaton, Md., on the Georgia avenue pike, announced yes- terday the appointment of his division chairmen, who will lead a field force of 154 workers. They are: Bancroft T.| Foley, electrical contractor; Henry Wie- gand, lumber merchant; Irvin Koch, ‘member counsel to Interstate Commerce Commission; Hans P. Oaemmerer, sec- retary Fine Arts Commission; E. H. Goelz, secretary Railroad Y. M. C. A., and Rev. H. E. Snyder, chaplain, Army Reserve Corps. Discussing the campaign, which is scheduled to open on December 10 and close December 20, Mr. Clarkson said: “On the former date the eyes of 908,000 members of the United Lutheran Church will be focused on the District of Columbia, to see if Washington will provide the desired site for this four- year senior college, which the nine Eastern synods of the Church propose to erect. Expects District Aid. “On the latcr date the eyes of the Cistrict of Columbis will reciprocally turn to the 3,900 churches in anticipa- tion of their part in providing a $1,000,000 group of buildings with an endowment of $500,000.” STAR, WASHINGTON.
