ROCKVILLE, Md, July 31.—Another effort to purchase at private saje the parcels of land in square west of the courthouse as an additional site for the new county building will be made here tomorrow, when each of the owners will be requested to come to the county commissioners’ office. At that time the property holders will be tendered a price which was fixed by a special com- mittee of appraisers of the building committee at a meeting held here late yesterday afternoon. ‘This will be a final effort to acquire the land without resorting to condem- nation proceedings, and the step was recommended by the counsel, Cissel & Woodward, of this town. Although the owners of property, at the request of the county commissioners, had tendered a price which they would accept for their holdings, the commissioners never made a counter offer. Papers Are Completed. The meeting of the building commit- tee was suddenly called for yesterday and was held behind closed doors. The papers and data necessary for the filing of the condemnation suits have been completed by Charles W. Woodward, who made the search of the titles necessary in the preparation of the suits. The committee which fixed the prices to be offered was composed of Preston B. Ray. clerk of the Circuit Court; Berry M. Clark, clerk to the Board of County Commissioners; George M. Hunter, president of the Montgomery County National Bank of Rockville; Robert G. Hilton, president of the Farmers’ Banking & Trust Co. of Rock- ville; J. Roger Spates, mayor of Rock- ville, attorney and specialist in land titles; Lacy Shaw, vice president of thé Board of County Commissioners and supervisor of the northern metropoli- tan district, and Dr. Benjamin C. Perry, president of the Board of County Commissioners, chairman of the build- ing committee and supervisor of the western metropolitan district. Prices Triple Assessments. While the prices were not disclosed, it was said by some.members of the committee that three times the assessed value of each parcel was considered by them to be a fair value fop the land included in the square. While the assessments are supposed to be a full valuation, it was pointed out that, like al! such assessments, they are nowhere near the sale value of the properties. There is a strong belief among some residents of the town who are in close touch with the public affairs that many of the land owners will avoid the con- demnation proceedings, and that even if the cases are filed they will be settled before the proceedings run their full course, STILL WORKER HURT ON HIS LEG IN RAID Fleeing Man's Injury Proves Mys- tery—Shots Fired in Air, but Bullets Miss.

BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., July 31.—Meet- ing yesterday for the first time, the newly chosen five-year program com- mittee of the Arlington County Cham- ber of Commerce selected three major and one minor items as those demand- ing the immediate attention of the chamber. They will submit their sug- gestions at the regular meeting of the board of directors tomorrow with rec- | ommendations of a definite nature. First of the major items selected is a county sewer system. This is fol- lowed by planning and zoning, includ- ing an industrial survey, and the water question. The minor item is the ques- tion of some systematic method of keeping the highways and streets clean. Chamber’s Duty. In the opinion of the committee, which is headed by Henry C. Morris, it is the duty of the Chamber of Com- merce to look into every phase of the sewer question before indorsing the present plan as passed upon last week by Judge Howard W. Smith in Circuit Court, who designated the county as a single unit in considering a bond issue for sewer installation. In the matter of planning and zon- ing the trade body feels more than a casual interest in the present zoning of the county because it is furnishing half of the funds for this work and, there- fore, the members fell considerable re- sponsibility as to the outcome. The committee believes that because of Ar- lington County’s peculiar position with regard to the National Capital the plan- ning of streets and highways should be accomplished with the zoning, and that an industrial survey would aid the zon- ing commission in its work. As was done in the other two ques- tions a special subcommittee was se- lected to make a study of the present water system with regard to adminis- termined what had caused it. | tration and extension and to have writ- FAMILY REUNION IS HELD IN VIRGINIA Henry Fox Clan Gathers in King William County—Gano Group at Martinsburg.

H. Swain, county coroner. Investigation Under Way. A full report on the cause of the epi- demic awaits the completion of an in- vestigation that has been under way for more than a week and that has resulted in the elimination of the county water and milk supplies as the cause. A care- ful analysis of the water supply and of the milk of all the dairies serving their products in Arlington County has re- vealed that they are not contaminated in_any way, he sald.
