C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1929 ENGINEER EXPLAINS ARLINGTON- ZONING | = | Newly Appointed Officer Ad- dresses Chamber of Commerce. Br a Staft Correspondent of The Star BALLSTON, Va. April 31.—Appear- | ing as guest of honor at the quarterly | meeting and dinner of the Arlington County Chamber of Commerce, in the | Washington-Lee High School last night, Allen J. Saville, newly appointed zoning | engineer, went into a detalled descrip- | tion of the problems to be solved and the benefits to be derived from zoning the county. Designating three types of areas as those that must be set aside—residen- turing plants and others that create un- pleasant odors should be barred perma- nently from the county. He also em- phasized the fact that public buildings, | such as schools, should be considered !and passed upon by the zoning commis- | sion before they are constructed. Types of Development. There are three typss of residential | development that must be considered, ihe declared. The first is the individual ‘residence. the second semi-detached | homes and the third apartment houses. | Referring to the latter, he insisted | that the height be limited to but a few stories, as also shoula the height of | | commercial and industrial establish- | ments, Tall buildings spoil the natural | beauty of a community, he said, and | depreciate in value those of lesser | height that may already “have been | | built in the same vicinity. There is no | occasion for tall buildings in Arlington County, he declared, and suggested that | the zoning ordinance restrict their | | height, as well as that of any smoke- | | stacks that may protrude from indus- | | trial establishments. | |~ Zoning should consider industrial es- | tablishments in three classes as well, he said. The first, and most desirable, is the small factory engaged in the | manufacture of articles that require !little smoke and noise. The second is | the factory that employs 40 to 50 peo- |ple and must be more isolated from residential sections than the first. The third is the type of factory that may construct anything up to a railroad en- gine, with the resultant smoke and nolse. This should be entirely isolated from both residential and commercial, he thinks. | Difficult Problem. Zoning in Arlington County was said | | to present a much more difficult prob- | lem than it does in a thickly populated | | city. This is due to the fact that city | | planning must be considered in con- nection with the zoning. Arlington County is made up of a number of | from subdivisions whose streets were planned, without regard to straight con- | nections with the streets of other com- | munities. | “A stranger,” he declared, “attempt- | county over what is supposed to be a | main thcroughfare is almost eefruh:r }:o e | zoning engineer and commission should | 8o over every strect and highway in the county, study the conditions and then make recommendations for straighten- | ing and making more definite the thor- | | oughfares, even if it is necessary to Last night's meeting was presided SUBURRAN NEWS.” e |over by Keith A.

Orcutt against the | I Animals Is Widespread. | Undulant ted directly fever, & malady transmit- to man from the lower animals. now apparently has a wide distribution over the United States, Dr. George W. McCoy of the Hygienic Laboratory of the Public Health Service, told the Medical Society of the istrict of Columbia at its annual scientific meeting today. Recent statistics, Dr. McCoy said. indicate that this disease is about as common as typhus fever with which it frequently has been mistaken in the past. The death rate is low but the fever persists on an average of 50 days and cases where it lasts 10 days are not. uncommon. One physician_who con< tracted it in a laboratory, Dr. McCoy said, has had recurrent attacks for six years. Acquired by Direct Contact. The disease, he pointed out, does not pass from one person to another, but must be acquired from direct contact, through milk or otherwise, with goats, cattle or pigs where the organism re- sponsible for it occurs in three forms. Sometimes all three are found in one animal. It has been known for years on the shores of the Mediterranean, but, until very recently was supposed to be confined in the United States to a small goat-raising area in Texas. ‘The wide distribution now known, he said, probably is not new, but the disease has been mistaken for influenza or typhus fever in the past. Although laboratories are working hard on the problem. he pointed out. no serum or vaccine has been found which is of any demonstrated value. Explains Use of Bronchoscope. The story of a 4-year-old boy who retained a coin for several years in hi ocsophagus before it finally was ree moved by means of a bronchoscope was told by Dr. D. B. Moffett. The child |ran_a low ‘fever for six months. Dr. Moffett desciived tne delicale technique of using the bronchoscope in exploring for foreign bodies in the bronchial tubes. The sensitiveness of some persons to eggs was described by Dr. H. H. Don- | nally, who pointed out that some of the results in infants, characterized by skin eruptions, might be due to some of the egg substance getting directly into the mother’s milk. Other speakers were Dr, George M. Kober, Dr. Francis R. Hag- ner and Dr. Maurice A. Selinger of Washington and Dr. Frederick C. Rinker of Norfolk.
