ARLINGTON NEEDS GIOWATER PATRONS Report to Chamber of Com- merce Indicates Loss in Operations. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., August 16—A special report showing the relatively small number of persons who have availed themselves of the county water system was made to the board of di- rectors of the Arlington County Cham- ber of Commerce last night by the spe- cial five-year program committee, of which Henry C. Morris is chairman, This is the first section of a much more complete report on the water sit- uation that is being prepared by the committee. Assembling the figures now available in the office of the water department, Morris’ subcommittee found that there are now 1,390 water connections in the county, distributed as follows: Clarendon, 710; Jefferson district, 250; Cherrydale, 195; Baliston, 80; Washington Golf & Country Club sec- tion, 71; Rosslyn, 63, and Arlington, 21. 2,000 Connections Needed. Owing to the fact that the committee has been informed that at least 2,000 connections are necessary to make the water system a self-supporting propo- sition, it would appear that the system is now being operated at & loss by the county. Verification of this report, however, must await the yearly audit of the books of the department, which is now under way. The subcommittee is also waiting this audit before mak- ing a final report. It has been esti- mated that there are between 7,000 and 8,000 homes in Arlington County, many of which are recejving their water from wells and others from the Alexandria Water Co. Morris reported that tentative ar- rangements have been made with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute for an industrial survey of the county to be made in October. He stated in his re- port that he has been 4n conference with Allen J. Saville, zoning engineer, with reference to the value of such a survey to the Zoning Commission, and has been assured that the information so gathered will be of great assistance to the commission. Clarence R. Ahalt, chairman of the sewerage subcommittee, submitted a digest of the act of the last General Assembly making it possible for Ar- lington County to have a county-wide sewerage system, including with the digest such data now available with regard to the steps taken to provide sewerage. President Keith R. Brum- back assigned the report to the joint To Be Distributed. It was announced by P. P. Wood- bridge, executive secretary, that the digest will be multigraphed and dis- tributed to all members of the cham- ber, extra copies to be made available to the Civic Federation and other or- ganizations. The sewer law sets forth the manner in which a bond issue may be floated, and other rules to be fol- lowed by the county and courts. Since Judge Howard W. Smith of the Circuit Court, has already decided to submit the county-wide idea to the voters, there is now little to be done except in the way of an educational campaign with regard to the law. The board discussed the proposal of | an employment service for high school students and graduates and instructed | the secretary to consult with school | officials and have a report ready at the next meeting. Because of the fact that work has b2en started on the widening of two of the county’s main highways, and for other lesser reasons, the board aban- doned the proposed picnic and fleld day that had been set for September 21, announcing that another affair will be arranged at a later date to take the place of this one. e LEESBURG LEGION HOLDS ELECTION OF OFFICERS Harry G.

THE EVENING STAR, WA B.&0.PLANNIG LARGERFACLITES Takoma Park Siding Case Delayed 45 Days in View of Announcement. ‘The Baltimore & Ohilo Railroad an- nounced yesterday it is planning an enlargement of the freight facilities for the Takoma Park-Silver Spring area in order to mcre adequately serve this important and rapidly growing sub- urban section of Washington. ‘The rallroad’s announcement was made after Daniel Willard, president, and C. C. Galloway, vice president of the company, had spent Wednesday of this week inspecting sites in this area and investigating the general situation in Takoma Park and Silver Spring. At the same time it was announced that the' Baltimore & Ohio Railroad officials and J. Bond Smith, counsel for the town of Takoma Park, had agreed to postpone the hearings on the North ‘Tako siding case ‘for 45 days to allow an adjustment of the Baltimore & Ohio’'s plan for the distribution of freight in the Takoma Park and Silver Spring section. ‘This case has been in the Montgomery County courts for more than a year, the town officials endeavoring to force the railroad to vacate from the North ‘Takoma siding on the ground that this property was dedicated to the city for a and that the town officials desire use it.for that purpose. ‘The North Takoma siding was the live issue in the town election in 1928, causing more bitter feeling in Takoma Park than any civic issue for many years. The action yesterday in agree~ lng to postpone the hearings on the case which have been going on at Rockville under a special examiner is believed to indicate that a compromise will be worked out agreeable to both the rail- road and the town government, May Mean Two Projects. ‘While the Baltimore & Ohio officials made no definite announcement as to the details of their plans in Takoma Park or Silver Spridg, it is generally believed by those in touch with the situation that it will enlarge its freight handling facilities both adjacent to the Takoma Park, D. C., station, and at Silver Spring to provide for the rail Toad growth of each’ of these important towns, and also to allow for the hand- ling of freight at Silver Spring for Northwest and North Washington City | and western Montgomery County. It was pointed out in this connection that Sixteenth street, Georgia avenue and the East and West Suburban high- way will all be improved through Sil- ver Spring during the present year and the ultimate improvement of West- | ern avenue as a Washington City boule- | vard from Georgetown and Massachu- setts avenue extended to Connecticut avenue at Chevy Chase Circle to the | intersection of Eastern and Western avenues immediately west of Silver | Spring will add a fourth major traffic | artery to the present road schemeof | that “section, which obviously makes Silver Spring available as a distribution | point for general North and Northeast | Washington freight. | ‘The proposed rail head or freight- handling area for Silver Spring will be entirely screened from Sixteenth street and Georgia avenue traffic and conse- quently is not expected to mar to even | the slightest degree the development of | Maryland - North - of - Washington as a | great residential section. The east sid of the freight terminal will be screene by the business frontages on the west- | ern side of Georgia avenue from the Georgia avenue subway to the Six-| teenth street-Georgia avenue-Laurel- | Baltimore Highway. On the north side | of the terminal area it will be shielded | by similar two-story brick frontages | which are being required as restrictions | on the industrial property now being | sold in that valley. The third.and west | side of the industrial triangle would | be screened from Sixteenth street and | Fourteenth street and the general Rock | Creek Valley section by the hill Jocated immediately west of the Silver Spring | Station and the Baltimore & Ohio right of way. | This makes possible an extensive' freight distribution development within | this triangle, the activities of which | will not be visible to motor traffic pass- ing on either Sixteenth street or President Willard and Vice President | Galloway came to Silver Spring last| Wednesday in their private car and| were accompanied on their inspection trip by E. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring. After their inspection trip the rail-| road issued the following official state- ment: “The officlals of the Baltimore & Ohio ‘Railroad are considering the en- largement of the freight facilities of the company in the territory nearby to | North Takoma in the event that final | decision is reached to remove the North ‘Takoma siding. “In order to have time to study the whole situation the compary has sug- gested the continuance of the hearing in the case against the town of Takoma for a period of 45 days, which sugges- tion has been approved by the attorneys for the town.” Congratulated on Vision. At the same time, J. Bond- Smith, %’porlum‘l counsel of the town of koma Park, who with Lucius Q. C. Lamar and Cissel & Woodward, is rep- resenting the municipality in the liti- gation, issued the following statement: “The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is to be congratulated on the vision which its higher officials have displayed in dealing with the question. The solu- tion suggested by the company is one which will best serve the interests of the town of Takoma Park, the resi- dential area immediately affected, the business community of Takoma Park and the railroad itself. “If the raflroad’s program is success- ful—and every indication is that it will be successful—it will immediately result in abating the existing nuisance. The residential character of the neighbor- 43 SHINGTO hood will be preserved and at the same Bemich more @equately met by taKing much more #tiequa y sne of the service in the existing in- the busin Takoma than the North Takoma siding Exmm&oumum_ at Takoma Park. D. C., station can and doubtless will be enlarged to the extent required to take care of the Takoma Park busi- ess. “The parks in North Takoma, includ- _!rrx the one adjacent to the North oma siding, can then be developed in accordance with a comprehensive plan which will also take into con- sideration the elimination of the Chestnut street grade crossing. The treatment of this area is a blem over which the Federal and State authorities, including the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, the District Commissioners, the Mary- land-National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission and the county and municipal authorities, are now co- operating. “If the solution suggested by the rail- road can be worked out the present liti- gation will, of course, be abandoned and the problem solved in such a man- ner as to protect the interests of all concerned. “Under these circumstances, I have been glad to agree to a continuance of the wnmnd;‘eau for a period not to exceed 45 , during which time the railroad expects to be able to acquire the additional ground necessary for the expansion of its facilities.” STEP IS TAKE FOR WATER MAINS Falls Church Council Ap- proves Extension of System Into Town Limits. Special Dispatch to The Star. FALLS CHURCH, Va., August 16.— What is expected to be the first step toward installation of water and sewer mains in the town of Falls Church was taken this week when the town coun- cil passed an ordinance authorizing the | board of supervisors of Arlington County to use the streets and alleys of the town | for the purpose of laying water mains nd laterals: The plan was presented to the coun- cil by Harry A. Fellows of East Falls Church, former mayor of the corpora- tion and now chairman of the commit- tee on internal improvements and zon- ing, and member of the executive and special sewer committees of the Arling- ton County Civic Federation. . Mr. Fellows, who has been working on the extension of the Arlington County water supply into the town of Falls Church for. the last year, told the council that the Arlington County ‘Water Board now appeared to be will- ing to extend its water mains at least as far as the Arlington County line, provided the town council made pro- vision for use of the streets. The line as now laid stops at the corporation May Do Work This Fall. Fhe present plan is to extend this 8-inch main at least as far as the Fair- fax County boundary line, ‘with laterals off the main line to subscribers in the Arlington County portion of the town. A petition also will be forwarded to the Secretary of War asking him to grant the Arlington County Water Board au- thority to deliver water in the Fairfax County portion of the town as well. It was the opinion of Mr. Fellows that if the water board acted favorably as | expected and if sufficient subscribers are obtained in Falls Churgh, extension of these facilities will be undertaken this Fall. The extension will be financed similarly to other communities in Ar- lington ~ County, the water board de- livering the water main, the citizens paying a tax of $1 per front foot up to 100 feet and a $40 charge for tapping. The water rate of $24 per year, payable quarterly, entitles th econsumer to 40,- 000 gallons of water per year. A “motion by Councilman Charles Gage that action be deferred until the September meeting and a committee of three be appointed to study the terms of the ordinance falled for want of a second and the ordinance was ap- proved. A second ordinance enacted by .the | council requires all trains on the Wash- ington & Old Dominion Railway and Arlington-Fairfax Railway to stop be- fore - approaching Washington street (Lee Highway) in either direction. Castleman Not a Candidate. ‘The council approved the payment of the costs incurred by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors in the Agwlllw Court at Richmond in the sult brought by the council against the supervisors to restrain them™ from assessing taxes on town real estate to pay the bond is- sue for the Falls Church-Annandale road and Columbia pike. The suit was lost by the town in both county and State courts. . R. A. Castleman, town clerk-treas- urer, stated that he would not be candidate for re-election when his term expires August 31. He also reported that he had reached the conclusion that it was not his duty as town treasurer to enforce the collection of delinquent | taxes by seizure and force.

FRIDAY, AGREE ON FUND FOR LEESBURG PIKE Officials at Richmond Confer- ence Adopt Fairfax ° Preposition. FAIRFAX, Va, August 16.—Victory yesterday crowned the efforts of George Harrison of Herndon, chairman or tue &uhwlys committee of the Fairfax unty Chamber of Commerce, who has been workh& for two months to effect a compromise agreement ‘between the Virginia State Highway Commis- sion, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors and Col. F&b&r&'N. Harper of Loudoun County and ashington. “Uncle George” said last night on his return to Fairfax County from Rich- mond that the compromise effected yesterday in the office of H. G. Shirley, chairman of the Virginia State High- way Commission, was one that would wi):kmz the advantage of all Northern 8 . ‘Under the terms of yesterday's agree- ment, the State Highway Commission has reduced its claim for comvycreation from $7,000 to $5,000, and Cdl. Harper has agreed to give he commitiiwi & check for this amount as soon as the commission requests, with the under- standing that the Loudoun County su- | pervisors will at some fufure time refund to him a novi' of this money, | when funds are available. 21 The agrecmieut . = emlt of the | effort initiated several months ago by | Mr. Harrison and toc radies o Chamber of Commerce to have State Highway Commission 1. take into the State system and improve all of .the highway 1rom L€ si.aisws Memorial Bridge to Mount Weather in order that the location selected as a Smmer home for the Nation’s Presi- dents might be readily available in all weather. All but 6.1 miles of this high- way is in the State systemy Money Previnu.sly allocated by the commission or expenditure on the Leesburg Pike will hard surface all but 3.1 miles of this road, near Leesburg. When this money is spent, it will mean elimination of the toligate now operated near | Leesburg, as under State law no toll- gate can be maintained on less than 5 miles of road. When the committee from the Fair. fax, Arlington and Loudoun Chambers of Commerce interviewed the commis- slon several months ago they found that a deadlock existed between the State Highway Commission, Col. Harper and the Loudoun County supervisors, which had held up several years the expenditure of the $23,000 appropriated by the commission for improvement of the pike in Loudoun County. “Twenty years ago Col. Harper pur- chased from the Loudoun County su- pervisors a portion of the old right->f- | way of this road, deeding a new right- of-way, which skirted his property, and | building thereon at his own expense a | road costing $17,000. Now the State Highway Commission claims that it will cost them over $19,000 to hard surface | this right-of-way, as compared with | only $5,000 over the original right-of- way, which they also contend is the| more desirable route. Col. Harper has objected to the return of the old right-of-way, which would pass | within 60 feet of Lis present home. The | chairman of the Eighway Commission, H. G. Shirley, offered to compromise the matter some time ago by splitting the $14,000 difference in the cost of the | two routes if either Col. Harper or the | Loudoun County board would pay $7.000. This offer went for months without serious consideration. When | Mr. Harrison and his committee learned | the status of affairs and reported to the Fairfax County chamber, they were | continued a committee to try and| effect a compromise agreement in the interest of the people of Fairfax, Ar- lington and Loudoun Counties and Al- | exandria City. Yesterday's conference was attended | by Supervisors Sam Coleman, H. C.| Rogers and M. H. Whitmore, chairman | of the Loudoun County board of super- visors; all_the members of the State| Highway Commission, Col. Harper, Mr. | Harrison and about a dozen citizens of | Loudoun County. After listening to the arguments of Col. Harper and Mr. Har- rison’s proposition for a compromise | settlement of $5,000, the board recessed | to consider the question, later calling in | Col. Harper and Mr. Harrison to an® nounce their approval and to thank Mr. Harrison for his efferts in solving this problem, which has retarded the im- provement. of the Leesburg pike for three years. the | | eral of the mewly placed “stop” signs| CONVENTION IS ENDED.

ROCKVILLE, Md., August 16.—In contemplation of selling the present church property to the county commis- sioners to make room for the proposed new Rockville Courthouse, the trustees of the Rockville Presbyterian Church have named a committee, consisting of Joseph Reading, chairman; Mrs. Almus R. Speare and William S. Joliffe, to canvass the town in an effort to locate an available lot, and ascertain the price thereof, as a site for a new church building should the present property be acquired by the county.
