6 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON CITIZENS PROTEST ERECTION OF PLANT Arlington Delegation Objects {0 Building of Oil Stor- age Staiinn. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP. Btaff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY _COURT- | HOUSE, Va., August 17.—Headed by | a delegation of | ely 20 residents of Mackey's | Hill appeared last night at the meeting of the Arlington County Zoning Com- mission_to enter its protest against vlication of the Sun Ofl Co. of Iphia to erect a laige oil storage plant and wholesale fuel oil staticn on the Lee Highway at Rosslyn. Action was deferred by the commission for two | weeks. This company, according to C. H. Greathouse, owner of the land on which it is proposed to erect the plant, con- templates the erection of tanks and administration buildings costing between $50,000 and $100,000. It would increase the revenue of the county, provide em- ployment, increase population, improve the present appearance at the Lee High- way and Mackey road, furnish its own fire and police protection, furnish Ar- lington County with its only real com- mercial and industrial water front, and be & big help in the development of the county’s most logical industrial section, he declared. Says Homes Would Lose Value. In voicing his protest to the erection of this or any other oil storage plant at this part place, Mackey said that homes worth approximately $300,000 ‘would lose a greater part of their value by the appearance “right under their noses” of a huge plant of this kind, with its unsightly storage tanks, fire hazards and odors. He claimed that the plat of the proposed plant was mislead- ing in that it only showed the proposed storage tanks, failing to picture the storage tanks that have already been erected there by Greathouse, as proprie- tor of the filling station and wholesale gasoline plant now located there. Adjoining residents were unable at the time this plant was erected to stop it because there was not then any zoning commission or zoning ordinance, he said. “The oil companies have all been run out of Washington,” he de- clared, “and are a curse to the county both because of their appearance and the fire hazard incurred by their Ppresence.” Dr. J. N. Roberts, whose residence property would adjoin the proposed plant, both wrote to and appeared be- fore the commission to enter his pro- test against the establishment there of one of the largest “oil storage plants in the country.” He said that the plant would not only ruin values of nearby residence property, but would greatly interfere with the future plans of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission for the develop- ment of the Virginia side of the river. Gas Storage Described. Greathouse and his son, L. H. Great. house, assured the commission that t present plan called for eight storage tanks, the largest of which would hold 25,000 barrels of fuel oil. This would be brought up the river on barges. There would be little gasoline stored there, they declared. Capt. Mackey was instructed by Fred A. Gosnell, chairman of the Zon- ing Commission, to prepare a petition of protest and have it signed by all adjoining property owners who oppose the plant. Greathouse was instructed o get the signatures of those in favor of it, both petitions to be presented at the meeting two weeks hence. Over the strong protests of Robert N. Anderson, president of the Lyon Vil- lage Citizens' Association, and a nu ber of other residents of the com- munity, none of whom lived ~within close proximity to the proposed plant, the commission granted an application to Mrs. Marie Clark Bell for the erec- tion of a gasoline filling station on the Lee Highway almost opposite the offices of Lyon & Fitch. According to the application the building will cost $4,000 and the grounds will be landscaped to conform with the community. Building Permit Granted. ‘The permit was granted with the provisign that the bank behind it be cut down so as not to obstruct the view of motorists entering and leaving the station and that the drive be wide enough for cars to pass. An application of A. H. Brown for a permit to construct a brick grocery store at the corner of the Lee High- way and Mount Olivet road was also {MT. RAINIER BONDS SOLD.

Arrested for obstructing traffic on Maryland avenue northeast, last night by Policeman J. P, Saver of the fourth precinct and refusing to forfeit $5 col- lateral, which he posted at the fourth precinct, William A. Cooper, 57 years old, salesman of the 3100 block of Bladensburg road, was ordered to pay $25 fine or serve five days in jail in Police Court yesterday morning by Judge John P. McMahon. Policeman Sayer testified that he tried to pass Cooper, who was driving near the center of Maryland avenue at a very slow speed, for about six blocks, but that the man would not give him the right of way. When he finally was able to pull alongside of him he ordered Cooper to drive to his pre- cinct, where the collateral was posted. Judge McMahon said the case needed special attention and issued warning to other motorists who he says are vio- lating the same traffic regulation every day and said that he would penalize approved, since he had the signatures of approval of all but one of the resi- dents of the subdivision on whigh it is to be located. The commission pro- vided that there must be a setback of 20 feet on the Lee Highway and 15 feet on Mount Olivet road. Acting on the suggestion of Allen J. Saville, zoning engineer, to the effect that all future applications for the erec- tion of commercial or industrial estab- lishments be accompanied by a petition of approval of 75 per cent of the ad- jacent property owners, the commission deferred action on the application of James E. Kidwell for a permit for the erection of a filling station on Clements avenue in Ballston. The commission stated, however, that failure to get the signatures did not necessarily mean that applications would be denied, just as the approval of the commission was x"xeoxr{‘ assured if all signatures were got- DOG SHOW SCHEDULED FOR FAIR AT ROCKVILLE Aristocratic Canines to Be Exhib- ited at Annual Event by Prominent Breeders.

Among the special prizes in this de- partment are: $25 in gold for best pair of fox hounds bred in Maryland, $10 in gold for best police dog, $5 in gold for best chow dog, $5 in gold for best wire- haired terrier, $5 in gold for best Boston terrier. Special ribbons go with these them to the fullest extent of the law when they came up before him. Thé judge said that if a person hasn't courtesy enough to pull out of the way of a car after he has been overtaken and has heard the other driver’s signal he should be fined. Idle Want to See Races. ‘That they should be granted permis- sion to attend all race meetings without charge was the demand made recently by the unemployed of Hamilton, Scot- land. A delegation was sent by idle workers to the Hamilton City Council, asking it to compel owners of the race tracks to give a “free gate” to all un- able to buy admission tickets. They also complained of living conditions of the poor, saying some people lived in dugouts where daylight bugs dropped on breakfast tables and destroyed part of the food. @he Foering Htar Bhovcs o prizes.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, August 17.—Through the ef- forts of Commonwealth's Attorney Wil- liam C. Gloth, an alleged colored bandit. who August 3, is declared to have held | up W. H. Hampton, superintendent of the Washington Brick & Terra Cotta Co., of South Washington, Va., of a $1,000 pay roll, was arrested today in Portsmouth, Ohio. Requisition papers have been for- warded to Richmond for the signature of the governor. At the time of the hold-up, the col- ored man, who is known as Joe Parker, alias Earnest Green, alias Joe Brewer, was recognized by Hampton as a for- mer employe. The first trace of his whereabouts was obtained by Gloth when he got a letter from the South Washington post office addressed to Parker from Thomasville, N. C. Gloth wrote to F. C. Smith, chief of police at that place, and learned that Parker was wanted there on a charge of grand larceny and was known to Smith. Smith succeeded in tracing Parker to Portsmouth, notifying Gloth when he learned of the fugitive’s whereabouts. ‘This morning Gloth called the super- intendent of police at the latter place on the long-distance telephene, and was notified within the hour that Parker was under arrest. Portsmouth police said that Parker had on his person at the time of his arrest a .45-caliber au- tomatic pistol. . Parker is believed to have been the man who walked into the office of the Washington Brick & Terra Cotta Co. and _asked Hampton for a job. While the latter was explaining that he must ! return on Monday the man produced a pistol and demanded the pay roll of approximately $1,000, which Hampton was at the time preparing for distribu- tion. ‘The bandit was chased into a nearby thicket, by infuriated employes, and was later thought to be surrounded by po- lice and volun.teer firemen, but succeed- ed in making his escape. ) ROAD OFFICIAL FINED .

Montgomery and Leo Murray, which usually directs its activities at automobiles with large car- goes of contraband, turned to other flelds Thursday night and arrested two men who were transporting liquor, they said, in an unusual manner. Mounted on a shiny red bicycle, hold- ing a package under his arm as he ped- aled down Missouri avenue yesterday, Aloysius Speaks, colored, 26, 1900 block of Second street southwest, attracted the attention of the squad. ‘When pursued, he recognized police, abandoned his vehicle and entered a house, but was arrested as he left through a rear door. The package was found to contain a one-half-gallon jar of alleged liquor. Charged with illegal possession, Speaks demanded a jury trial when ar- raigned before Judge Ralph Given in Police Court this morning. The sight of a large sack labeled “flour,” but with contents that rattled and gave forth a sound of glass, caused the squad to pursue Charles Franklin Miller, 31, colored, 1200 block of First street southwest, who was staggering down N streét with the bag on his back. Observing the police, Miller dropped his pack and fled into a house in the 200 block of N street, where members of the squad discovered him hiding under & bed. The sack contained five gallons of liquor, police said. Miller pleaded guilty to possession when he appeared before Judge Ralph Given today and was ordered to pay $50 or serve 90 days in jail.
