L3 RUSSLYN FAVORED | AS BUSINESS MEA Arlington Chamber of Com- merce Wants Section Re- tained for Industries. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, _ Staft Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va, December 6.— The retention of Rosslyn’s commercial water front is advocated in a resolu- tion that was unanimously passed last night by the board of directors of the Arlington County Chamber of Com- merce at its regular fortnightly meet- ing. The resolution was presented by Ashton C. Jones and seconded by Wal- ter U. Varney. ‘The full text of the resolution is as follows: “It is the sense of the chamber of commerce that some commercial water- front property in Arlington County is essential and that the plans of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission be so drawn that Rosslyn will be'left as & business center and that all_available commercial water front at Rosslyn be maintained.” In addition to the president, Keith A. Brumback, there were 10 of the 24 members of the board present. Grant Questions Discussed. ‘The resolution followed a lengthy dis- cussion that was occasioned by the series of questions that have been for- warded to the various organizations in the county by Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant. 3d, executive officer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commis- sion, requesting the views of the citizens of the county as to what is necessary in the way of commercial water-front development in the coufity. In an attempt to force the issue of the proposed location of the Sun Oil Co. in Rosslyn, which is being pro- tested by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission and many county organizations, there was a motion of- fered by A. H. Stratton and seconded by ‘William P. Ames that the chamber of commerce go on record as favoring the location of the plant on the pro- posed site. P. S. Cochran, engineer of the ofl company; Lucien Greathouse, one of the owners of the property to be ac- quired by the oil company, and John E. FPowler, Rosslyn business man, ap- peared in support of the oil company. In a talk-on the subject Cochran said that the initial plans of the company provide a total storage capacity of around 1,000,000 gallons of gasoline and | oil. The plans submitted to the zoning | commission, showing a capacity of be- tween 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 gallons, he ‘said, are based on the storage re- quirements of 15 years hence. In answer to a question propounded] by Varney, Greathouse revealed that the amount of waterfront to be used by ‘the company is ‘approximately 275 feet in length. Special Meeting Called. After ssing many phases of the question, a resolution was offered by W.. 8. Hoge, seconded by Varney, that the matter bé tabled and a special meeting be held next Thursday night for consideration of the chamber's stand. The resolution passed by a vote of 5 to 4, and P. P. Woodbridge, sec- retary, was instructed to notify each member of the board that the question will be voted upon at that time. During, the discussion of the subject Hoge read a.letter from Hugh Lee Kifby, ogner-.of- nearby Tty on which it is proposed to expend a can- siderable sum of money in the construc- tion of 8 swimming pool and other n!m:mom facilitles, protesting plant.

He stated that the action of the board of supervisors in granting the permit is amazing, in view of the opposition that was ex- pressed by a majority of the property owners and citizens of the neighbor- Meetings Scheduled. The importance with whicn the ques- tions of Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d.. executive officer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, regard- ing the needs of Arlington County for commercial water front development are considered is indicated by the meetings that are planned to prepare answers for his consideration. ‘Tonight thesArlington County Zoning Commission will hold a special meeting at the court house to consider the questions, among which is one request- ing the views of county organizations as to whether/ industriai or residential development is most valuable to Arling- ton. ‘The Chamber of Commerce rooms having been engaged for next Tuesday night, the public meeting of the special committee of the Arlington County Civic Federation, for the consideration of the same guestion., has been post- poned until Wednesday night at 8 o'clock. Meeting with the Civic Federation committee will be a similar committee from the Organized Women Voters of Arlington County. This committee has been instructed by the president, Mrs. Julian W. Simpson, to assemble the views of the membership of the organi- zation before that. timer Since Grant has requested answers to his questions by December 15, in order shat they may be present:d to the meeting of the National Caoital Park and Plannirg Commission, there is lit- tle time left for gathering ths data, it is claimed by those interested.

PHONE COMPANES TOEXPAND SERVEE Chesapeake & Potomac to Spend $22,000,000 Im- provement Program. Detalls of the augmented 1930 con- struction program of the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co.s in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia will be developments of 'the next few months, and will continue the company’s policy of increasing ex- pansion to keep pace with continued prosperity in the territory served by companies, Lloyd B. Wilson, president of the C. & P. Cos, declare ay. Announcement of cont plated ex- penditures totaling more than $22,000,- 000 for new telephone construction in the territory of the companies was made last night. Of this amount about $3,- 500,000 is to be spent in the District of Columbia. Mr. Wilson said he could not at this time make further announcement of the details of the work, other than that the new facilities to be provided will include buildings, central office apparatus, local and intercity telephone lines and other equipment. The total amount to be spent is $6,000,000 in excess of expendi- tures for 1929, the companies’ announce- ment sald, and is part of a five-year program under which the companies estimate they will spend approximately $100,000,00 for new construction. “The fact that the telephone com- pany has a $100,000,000 construction program. to care for the anticipated growth in the business is evidence of our faith in the continued prosperity of the territory served by the Chesapeake & Po:;'vmac Telephone Co.,” Mr. Wilson said. Eight million dollars will be spent in Maryland, $6,200,000 in Virginia and $4,450,000 in West Virginia. Important 1 ojects included in the five-year pro- gram are about $12,000,000 for land and buildings, $23,500,000 for central office equipment and $10,500,000 for intercity toll lines and cables. In the latter item much of the outlay is for placing the toll-line systems in cables. ‘The contemplated “expenditures are based on an estimated gain of 30,600 telephones during 1930 and a gain of 155,000 telephones during the five-year period beginning with 1930, which com- pares with a gain during the past five years of 129,000 telephones. This will bring the total number of telephones in service up to 774,000 at the end of 1934. It was explained at the offices of the companies that while details of the new work in the District of Columbia cafnot be made public at present, the expendi- tures are in line with providing addi- tiona] and better service for telephone customers.
