| 10 ® OFFICIALS DISCUSS - ARLINGTON LIGHTS First Steps for lllumination of Business Streets Taken at Session. By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. November 19.— d the consumma- tion of plans to accept the offer of the board of county supervisors witn respect to the adequate lighting of tne three principal business streets of the county, especially the Clarendon poi- tion of Wilson Boulevard, were taken yesterday when P. P. Woodbridgs, executive secretary of the Arlington County Chamber ~of Commerce, and H. B. Mitchell, chairman of the Reu- tail Merchants’ Association of Claren- don, met with officials of the Virginia Rublic Service Co. Chamber Will Aid AlL While the Merchants’ Association is interested only in the Clarendon proj- ect, Woodbridge said, the Chamber of Commerce will lend its assistance tw the Lee Highway and Frazier avenue proposals as well. The Wilson Boule- vard lighting, however, is the only plan that has been considered in detail. Before attempting to decide just how many modern arch-lights will be need- ed in Clarendon, the two associations will await estimates from the power company as to relative cost and the submission of plans that will show tne space that can be adequately illuminai- ed by each light. When the estimates and plans are ready, Woodbridge saia, & joint meeting of the chamber, Merchants’ Association; county eu- gineer and others who are interested will be called. Two Types Considered.™ There are two types of lights to be considered, one the bracket type thac was recently installed on King strees, Alexandria, and the other the single type, with the flnbe on top. The bracket type, it understood, would carry telephone and other wires on the ‘top, while the single type would require the changing of the wire sys- tem where they are installed.

Justice Sherman P. Rosslyn. A conference was arranged for 3 o'cloak this afternoon at the Depart- ment of Justice between Assistant At- torney General George R. Farnum and E. J. Merrick, jr., civil engineer of the office of Maj. Brehon Somervell, district engineer for the War Department for the Washington area, on possible ef- fects on the Federal Government's hts in the application of the Sun 0Oil Co. of Philadelphia for a permit to construct a wharf just north of the Key Bridge in Rosslyn, Va. The con- ference will deal particularly with the title to the land on the Virginia shore, on the basis of the 1791 high-water mark. Mr. Merrick hopes to have his rec- ommendation on the oil company’s ap- plication in the hands of Maj. Somer- vell tomorrow when he returns from an inspection trip. The United States Bowers, this city, decided an inquest Was unnecessary. Engineer’s Office, Mr, Merrick explained today, will consider, under the law, only how the application affects rllvl[ntlon'POL'cE AT PURCELLVILLE on the Potomac River and possible jeopardization of Federal rights. Some 40 comments from interested parties, including petitions from vari- ous citizens’ associations, particularly in Arlington County, Va., are now be- fore the United States Enllnm‘!‘Of- fice as the result of invitations to com- ment, sent out by Maj. Somervell. Of- ficials of the major's office pointed out that many of the arguments advanced were validly used before the Arlington County Zoning Commission, but will bear little weight with the Federal au- thorities, who must consider only the effect on navigation and the Federal rights involved, under the law, and or- ders of the Secretary of War and the chief of Army Engineers. All those in favor of granting the permit to construct a wharf to the Sun Oil Co. are from business men of Ar- lington County and vicinity, the offi- clals of Maj. Somervell's office said. Each petition from the citizens’ associa- tions contains about 50 or so names, practically all of which are opposed to the granting of the permit. Fire Burns Auto Trucks.

It expresses the experience of millions who through Camels have learned to know real smoking pleasure. As taste in smoking develops, it naturally leads toward better quality. New smokers may not be critical but when they once experience the true mildness and surpassing fragrance of the Camel blend, they realize that here is a real superiority. It is for smokers of such discernment that Camels are made . . . for them the choicest tobaccos are selected . . . and this quality is maintained for the millions who know genuiné smoking pleasure.
