FREE LOAN LIBRAR MOVE GONSIDERED Government-Paid Project Is Abandoned, but Committee Named for Loca! Unit. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Vi November 22— | Eighteen representatives from differcnt sections and organizations of Fairfax County met yesterday in the Board of Supervisors' room to consider with Miss Leslie Stevens, in_charge of extension for the Virginia State Library, ways and means of establishing in the county a free loan librarf. After Miss Stevens had outlined the requirements for a standard, tax-supported county library, which would entail either a tax levied by the Board of Supervisors or an ap- propriation by them from funds already received, members adopted a resolution offered by Mrs. John Warnock Echols of Vienna thanking Prof. Ormond Stone of Centerville for bis efforts in getting this project started on a large scale, but expressing the feeling that it was impracticable at present to consider asking the supervisors for funds. To Start on Small Scale. Upon advice of Representative R. ‘Walton Moore, a temporary committee was appointed from among those in at- tendance at the meeting to consider ways and means of establishing a county free loan library on a small scale, using as headquarters the room in the old clerk's office building donated by the Board of Supervisors and de- pending on gifts of books, money and volunteer services to get the project started. This committee, composed of one member from each magisterial dis- trict, elected E. C. Gibbs of Mount Vernon district as its chairman, H. B. Derr to represent Providence district, Mrs. M. D. Hall, Lee district; Mrs. H. M. F. Palmer, Centerville district; Mrs. G. Ashley Money, Dranesville district, and Mrs. E. D. Vosbury, Falls Church district. Mrs. Palmer, who is herseif a trained librarian and who was employed in the Library of Congress before her marriage, offered her services in cata- loging and general library management in getting the project started. A standard county library system, into which it is hoped this Fairfax County unit will eventually develop, in- cludes one central library, generally Iocated at the county seat, with a num- ber of branches located so as to serve most economically every section of the county. The present town libraries at McLean, Falls Church, Herndon and Vienna could later be made part of this county system if disired when funds are availabl. to give them service in ex- change. In order to cover the entire county and give free use of books to every adult and juvenile, a book truck is advised to reach the sections most isolated. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

BETTER LIGHTING CONFERENGE SET lllumination of Arlington| Thoroughfares to Be Dis- cussed at Meeting. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., November 22— Plans for the forthcoming conference with regard to the lighting of the principal thoroughfares of Arlington County were discussed at the meeting last night of the board of directors of the Arlington County Chamber of Commerce. The board also considered the arrangements for the conference next Tuesday with Gov. Harry F. Byrd. According to P. P. Woodbridge, exec- utive secretary, the chamber is now awaiting estimates and plans from the Virginia Public Service Co. on the in- stallation of ornamental poles along Wilson Boulevard in Clarendon before | calling the meeting. These estimates are nearing completion, he has been in- formed, so the present arrangements are that the meeting will be held at some time during the coming week. Supervisors to Get Bid.

BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON, Va, November 22— The Arlington County Zoning. Commis- sion is considering the holding of a county-wide meeting on the tentative zoning ordinance before submitting it to the Board of County Supervisors for adoption, it was revealed last night following a public hearing on Arlington precinct. While definite plans for this meeting have not yet been worked out, it was sald by Commissioner Robert H. For- man that it will probably be held at the Washington-Lee High School and the supervisors will be invited to par- ticipate. It is believed that this gen- eral hearing may result in clearing up a number of points in question before the ordinance is turned over to the supervisors, thereby minimizing the chances for controversy that might crop up at the hearing the county gov- erning body is required by law to hold before adopting the ordinance. In Executive Session. The commission is holding an execu? tive session this afternoon at which it will be finally decided whether the county-wide session is practical. To- night there will be a hearing on the Cherrydale precinct. Last night's meeting was conducted by Forman, as acting chairman, and Allen J. Saville, zoning engineer. For- man gave a detailed account of the tentative zoning of the sections com- prising Arlington _ precinct, Penrose, Arlington Heights, Barcroft, Glebewood, Alcova Heights and Fort Berry. There is no industrial area included in this section, Forman stated, but there is a general business section provided for Arlington proper and local business sections in Barcroft, Glebewood and Fort Berry. There also is a considerable area zoned as “Residential B, which per- mits the erection of apartment houses and semi-detached residences. This area is confined to a large extent to the section immediately adjacent to Columbia pike and Glebe road, the two principal thoroughfares in this section of the county. In an explanation of the ordinance Saville said that the only person whu suffers from the effects of zoning 18 the real estate operator who sells his land without due regard to the occu- pants of the area in which he may be LY g The Avenue " at 7th N 29 1929, TIME FOR TUXEDOS!
