SUBUR ZONING REPORTS EXPECTED TODAY Directors of Arlington Cham- ber to Meet Tonight in Clarendon. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP. 8taft Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., March 21.—Zon- ing, the paramount issue in the county at the present time, is expected to con- sume most of the time at the regular meeting tonight of the board of direc- | tors of the Arlington County Chamber | of Commerce. The zoning committee of the cham- ber is expected to make a report on its progress, which is leading to defi- nite plans for the immediate employ- ment of a zoning engineer and an early | start on the work. The committee hn been in communication with an eng neer who will be able to handle work at a reasonable figure. - Will Discuss Billboards. While he has not yet completed his research work on the laws in force in other communities throughout the country, the executive secretary of the chamber, P. P. Woodbridge, is expected to discuss the signboard situation with respect to legislation that will regulate their erection. ‘While there are counties and incor- Yonud towns that have in effect strict aws regulating the erection of sign- boards, Woodbridge said today, there is B':‘I [ Sutle in the ‘c’i’lflon t’;\h!.! has a satisfactory law regarding them. ‘The United States Department of Commerce recently referred to the Mas- sachusetts law regulating signboards, ‘Woodbridge said, but when he looked into the matter he found that the law has been tied up in the courts for the past_four years and that there is not as yet an end in sight. Favers Signboard Curb. “The Chamber of Commerce has gone | & on record as favoring a curb upon the signs, but the oniy immediate relief that is now apparent would be an ordi- nance requiring each signboard to have a license number to indicate that it has been legally erected on a permit granted by the board of supervisors. Under one proposed plan a license number would be displayed upon each billbeard and those not bearing a num« ber could immediately be destroyed. The Chamber of Commerce sign- board committee, of which Frank G. Campbell is chairman, expects to use the information gathered by woodbrldn in an effort to put a stop to the lining of the State and county highways with 30 many billboards that it is difficult to enjoy the natural scenery.
