ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va, October 12—That the N.

It was stated in the application that, although the property has not yet been urchased, a contract for its sale has n entered into between the oil com- pany and officials of the packing plant. The application for permission to erect a plant on this particular plot of ground recalls to the minds of many Tesidents of both Arlington County and the District of Columbia two of the most famous issues that ever threatened the usual calm of the county. Past Applications Cited. ‘Upon two ccca-ions has the provision ©ompany made an effort to obtain a permit for the erection of an abattoir on their property and upon both occa- sions has the application been with- drawn because of the flood of protest from both sides of the' river. While the company still held title to the prop- erty some owners of adjacent and near- by property were apprehensive that the company might again apply for a per- mit, since the board of county super- visors has at neither time had an op- portunity to pass upon the matter. The other case is the application of s the Sun Ofl Co. for permission to erect & large distribution plant on the Lee ALLEGED POST OFFICE ROBBER ARRESTED Arthur M.
