' SUBURBAN NEWS." WATER MAIN LEVY PLAN 15 CHANGED Al Arlington Citizens on Served Streets Will Be Assessed. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP. Staft Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., April 15.—Persons living on streets through which water mains have been put at the request of a ma- jority, but who did not themselves make application for service, will in the future be assessed an interest charge on their front fodtage the same as thos: who did make application, it was decided Saturday at a8 meeting of the board of county supervisors. Under & previous arrangement all persons who made application for water were assessed an interest charge upon their front footage assessment from the time that the service was made avail- able to them until the time when the connection was actually made, Declared Unfair. This arrangement, in the opinion of C. L. Kinpler, county directing ‘eb- gineer, at whose suggestion the change was made, has placed those who Qi desire the service at an unfair disad- vantage, since they, if they were not ready to have the water installed when it reached them, were forced to pay the interest charge while others living on the same street were exempt. It is the opinion of the board of supervisors that any person who makes application for service indicates that he was at the time of the laying of the mains a prospective user and should therefore pay the -interest charge. It is presumed that the mew ruling will be used as a lever to force those living within reach of county water to immediately make use of it, for the !

Unit Plan to Be Studied. Kinnier and Commonwealth's At- torney William C. Gloth were instruct- ed by the board to make a careful study of the county unit plan of sewerage | installation, as against the District plan, before going into court to ad-| vocate - either. At the next term of court it is expected that Gloth and State Sen-| ator Frank L. Ball will present a peti- tion to Judge Howard W. Smith re-; questing him to consider the county as a whole rather than to st bound- aries of various districts in which the jssue would be considered separately.

It will not attempt a busi- ness meeting on Monday, because the Circuit Court convenes at that time. 1t was reported today from a reliable | source that the meeting to approve the budget will be t mere matter of form, sings it has been definitely decided that there will be no change in the levy.
