Special Dispatch to The Star. | POTOMAC, Va., May 22.—Perplexed | as to the outcome of volunteer fire or- ganizations of Arlington County, H. C. Roberts of the Cherrydale department, officially speaking at the meeting of the | Arlington-Fairfax Counties Firemen's | Associations last night in the town hall, declared a study should be made of the needs of-the future fire depart- ments. Roberts asserted he was of the opin- | jon that many of the firemen did not | know the amount of the fire levy being used for fire protection, and if the total was being used for that pus it was possible to convert it to other county | departments when they were in need. | Levy Funds Stressed. He declared if the funds of the levy ‘were insufficient the firemen should be | prepared to go hefore the board of su- pervisors and request an increase. ‘We -are told it is the intention of the county to have paid men stationed at the various houses, but if the fund is insufficient it is our duty to request an increase, he continued. ‘The matter was referred to the fire- prevention committee for study. G. Frank Allwine, secretary of the asso- ciation, reported he had conferred with Sheriff Howard B. Fields on the advis- ability of enforcing the “no parking” ordinance within efght feet of a fire hydrant, and his co-operation was promised. County Fire Marshal A. C. Scheffel reported that it.was futile to expect the public to obsetve the ordinance when only several days ago a county police- | man parked his car near a fire plug and when it was called to his atten- tion the policeman remarked, “he had to park some place.” e A letter was read addressed to the chiefs of the various Arlington County departments from C. L. Kinnier, direct- ing engineer, requesting them to re- port all fires and when a large fire oc- curs to call the county’s water office s': mthdlt 4 higher pressure may be ob- ed. Committee Makes Report. The fire-prevention committee re- ported recommendations had been made to the board of supervisors that they procure a bridge truck stationed at the Water Department to respond to all alarms and relieve traffic conditions by placing bridges over the fire hose. They | recommended to each of the depart- | ments that some member of their com- pany when responding to fires should | take charge of traffic conditions until a county policeman arrived to super- vise the conditions. | The next meeting of the association | will be held at Arlington.
