There is other prpperty left in the lessee by the terms of the iease, it was said, but it cannot be reached unless a right of way is given over the front property by Dr. Dunne. Attorney Cissel said that if a right of way was eycluded, the only way the property could be reached would be by airship. Dr. Dunne was the only witness placed on the stand, the defense resting its case without presenting any evidence. Mr. | Lamar, in his argument. contended that the only matter involved in the hearing He said that the terms of the lease did not con- template that the roadway right should ?unzmue longer than provided for in the ease. Mr. Cissel said that the provisions of the lease showed that Dr. Dunne was exercising her option to get the land fronting on the roads, and asked where there was any assurance that the land might not be sold tomorrow and all right of ingress and egress into the back property cut off. He said that in that event his client would be liable for the rent of the back property, and the only means of getting to and from it would be by airship.

Br a 8taff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY ~COURT- HOUSE, Va., July 23—Sitting in spe- clal session, Judge Howard W. Smith will tomorrow be asked to decide two questions of especial importance to the county. The first question is as to the setting of the boundaries for one or more sani- tary districts. ‘Tomorrow he will hear a petition presented by Common- wealth's Attorney Willlam C. Gloth and State Senator Frank L. Ball to set up | the entire county as a single sanitary district. Testimony Heard. Judge Smith has already heard testi- mony and arguments in faver of the establishment of several separate sani- fary districts, it being the plan of Hugh Reid, member of the Virginia House of Delegates, to put the question of a bond issue to each of thes® communi- ties separately so that if it failed in one section it might pass in another. A hearing also has been held on the application of Lyon Park and other communities to be included in district No. 1, which, under first plans, would be_the first to receive sewers. Not altogether satisfied that the plan for separate districts is practical, Judge Smith took the matter under advise- ment while the single district plan was prepared. After a hearing on this he will decide which is to be adopted and is then expected to set a date for an election on the bond issue.

With the engines so placed theze is no danger of a passenger walking into a whirling propeller and there is no un- comfortable wind blast in getting in and out of the plane. The lifting efficiency of the wing is increased, Macready explains, because the airflow over the leading edge is ot disturbed by the propellers, and for this reason a lower landing speed is possible. The flow of air from the propeller is unobstructed. providing increased speed and maneuverability is improved by t ir stream being thrown directly on the il surfaces The plane is designed to take off and fly on one engine. With no engine in front the pilot has an unobstructed view. Plane 53 Feet Long. The cabin of the plane, 16 feet long 1, feet wide and 6 feet 2 inches high. is comparatively quiet.
