107 %4 SUBUR ZONING OFFICIALS Jurisdiction in Spur Track Fight Believed to Lie With Supervisors. Sgecial Dispatch to The Star. CLARENDON, Va., June 11.—Reach- | ing a decision that it has no jurisdiction over county and State roads, the Arlington County Zoning Commission, meeting at the courthouse last night to consider the application of Willilam P. Ames and associates for a spur track along Lambden Terrace in Rosslyn, which has met with strong objections of citizens in that area, adopted a reso- lution placing the matter up to the board of supervisors for settigment. “After a thorough study of ritory known as Rosslyn,” the resolu- tion cites, “and a most careful con- sideration of all of the facts in con- nection with the application of W. P. Ames for a permit to construct a ‘Washington & Old Dominion Railroad siding on the east side of Lambden Terrace, through to Corcoran avenue in Rosslyn, it now appears to this com- mission that that district will eventual- 1y be classified as ‘light industrial’ zone, for the conduct of such light manufac- turing as does not offend by smoke. sant , gases, abnormal npisés | her marriage, was Miss Jennie E. Trotter. b s o | eight grandchildren were present at a dinner to celebrate the event. and so forth. Doubts Legal Powers. “Such an electric railroad siding as is contemplated in the application in question would not naturally be pro- hibitive in such a zone; but the com- mission does not feel that it is within the province of the zoning commission either to approve or disapprove of the use of the county thoroughfares for private railroad facilities.” An application of I. S. Post to estab- 1ish a barbecue stand on a vacant lot at the intersection of Clements avenue and Wilson boulevard met with strong | opposition. A petition of protest, signed by 40 property owners within a short | distance of the proposed establishment, was submitted by Dr. W. C. Welburn. The commission decided to defer action | on the application until the situation in that area can be given more careful study. Adopt New Rules. To expedite the work of the commis- sion to eliminate many public hearings, the commission, on suggestion of Zon- ing Engineer Allen J. Saville, adopted a new ruling to the effect that no ap- plication for permit for the establish- ment of a commercial structure will be considered unless it is accompanied by & petition signed by 75 per cent of the property owners within 500 feet of the proposed establishment. ‘The directing county engineer, C. L. Kinnier, is authorized by another reso- Jution adopted by the commission to act for the commission in recommend- ing approval of all applications for pri- vate dwelling permits and to sign ap- proval of such in the name of the chairman of the Zoning Commission; provided, however, “that any such dwelling application as, in the judg- ment of the directing engineer, may be in question, and all applications per- taining to commercial or industrial cases, shall be first submitted for con- sideration of and action thereon by the commission in the manner originally intended.” MARYLAND EAGLES MEET AT FROSTBURG State Convention to Discuss Old; Age Pensions—Election to Be Held Tomorrow.

M. F. Iverson. By the Associated Press. MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 11— Predicting “two strong parties” in Ala- bama, L. H. Reynolds, probate judge of Chilton County, yesterday called upon J. C. Swann of Mobile, chairman of the Republican State committee, to call a meeting of the State executive commit~ tee at once for the purpose of formu- lating plans for the upbuilding of the Republican party in this State. Reynolds is the father of Grady Reynolds, United States attorney for the Middle Alabama district, now under fire of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and opposed the late Oscar Un- derwood in the race for United States Sepator from Alabama in 1925. In his letter to the State chair- man, Judge Reynolds mentioned that for the last seven or eight months “leading Alabama newspapers have continually referred to many prominent citizens of the State who want to sit in the councils of the Republican party.” “As you know,” the letter continued, “we had many new voters to participate with the Republican party last Fall, and I believe many of them will remain with us if we show them that they are welcome, that they will be advised re- garding the policies of the party and that they can come into its councils and be one of us.” “We have no active politics in Ala- bama now,” Judge Reynolds sald, “and this would be the opportune time to lay the foundation for our party in this tate.” CHOSEN ASSEMBLY HEAD.
