i SUBUR " GROUP IS NAMED T0 STUDY OIL ASE Arlington Chamber Directors Appoint Committee to Con- sider Permit Question. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staf Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va, December 13— Unable to reach a definite agreement s to the stand that will be officially taken on the question of whether it is 1o the benefit of the county to have the Sun Ofl Co. locate a large storage and distributing plant on the Lee Highway at Rosslyn, the board of directors of the Arlington County Chamber of Com- merce, meeting last night in special ses- sion, passed a resolution requesting the president to appoint a special commit- tee of five members to make a careful study of the question and, after due notice to all members, report its find- ings at a future meeting. ‘Two-Hour Discussion. This resolution, which was presented by Clarence R. Ahalt, followed a dis- cussion of more than two hours on a resolution offered by Charles T. Jesse, attorney for the oil company and a member of the board of directors of the chamber, “that the board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce of Ar- lington County of Arlington County. | Va., indorse the project of the Sun Oil Co. to establish an oil storage and dis- tributing plant on its proposed site at Rosslyn, since it is the judgment of this hoard that the entry of this con- cern into our business community will encourage other new business to seek location here and will increase the general prosperty of the county.” ‘When those present found themselves unable to agree, Jesse withdrew the resolution and Ahalt substituted the one that was finally adopted. As the matter stands, the chamber has as yet taken no definite stand on it, despite that it was for that purpose that last night's meeting was held. Secretary Resigns. The special committee that was ap- pointed to make a study of the needs of the county for the coming year re- ported among other things that “it was felt that the services of a full time secretary could be dispensed with as soon as practical as the funds of the ston road, built through their town. organization would not warrant the payment of such expense, and instead of such employe that an experienced secretary-stenographer be employed at & nominal salary.” Since the resignation of P. P. Wood- bridge, present executive secretary, was already in_the hands of the president, Keith A. Brumback, it was decided to defer until the regular meeting next week discussion on both the recom- mendations of the committee and Woodbridge's resignation. Woodbridge stated today that while he concurred fully with the committee in regard to finance, it was also a matter of record that he had not been in sympathy with the administrative policies of the cham- ber for some time past and did not care to assume the responsibility for another year. | On the motion of Ashton C. Jones, the special committee that has been working on the problem of obtaining | the co-operation of the State in the development of the county, adopted the following report which they will ask the board of county supervisors to pre- sent to Gov. Harry F. Byrd, with a re- quest that he give it favorable con- s:del;]nn?n in his 1930 plans: “First: e Appropriation of $100,- 000 10 be ‘availabie When matehed by an appropriate sum from the Federal Government for the .establishment of the first unit of the George Washington Memorial Park along the Potomac River near Washington in accordance with the plans of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. The appropria- tion can be made as Virginia’s contri- bution in honor of the 200th anniver- sary of the birth of Washington. Second: The completion of Lee boulevard for a width of at least 40 feet from the Federal road westwardly at least as far as Fort Buffalo by 1932, this road to be opened approximately the same time as the opening of the new meraorial bridge and the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway. Grading and Surfacing. “Third: Grading and surfacing first unit of the straighit-to-the-bridge road leading from the Fort Myer military Teservation to Clarendon, a distance of approximately 1 mile, the same to be ready for traffic at the time of opening of the new memorial bridge. This is of vital importance and will be a heavily used road at all times and especially until Lee boulevard is completed to its connection with Lee Highway. “Fourth: State participation in pur- chase of rights-of-way for Lee Boule- vard and straight-to-the-bridge road to the extent of obtaining those portions of the said rights-of-way which cannot be obtained by private organization now working upon the same, “Fifth: Completion of Glebe road to the Alexandria City line. This project is now practically completed to Colum- bia pike leaving but little more than a mile necessary to reach the city limits.” At a special meeting of the executive committee, held yesterday afternoon, it was decided to hold the annual ban- quet and election of officers at the Washington-Lee High School on the night of January 10. The meeting will be cpen to the wives of members and other guests, The work that the chamber has done with regard to zoning and the benefits to the county that have resulted will be the subject of the prinicpal speakers. It was decided to eliminate the usual pro- cedure of having a nominating commit- tee to recommend a slate of directors for 1930, the matter to be left entirely open and the nominations to be made direct from the floor for the 16 vacan- cles. The president and other officers are selected by the newly elected board. MRS. ANNIE G. MOISAN URGED FOR COMMITTEE Member of Democratic Women's Club of Baltimore Suggested for Post.

ALEXANDRIA, Va,, December 13. —“That's where my money goes," exclaimed Joe S. Moss of Glen Allen, Va., as he poured a quantity of liquor, captured from him by local police, down the sewer during the destruction of the accumulation of liquid evidence destroyed here yes- terday. Moss is now completing a sentence of three months for having the liquor in his auto and also paid a fine of $250 and costs. One by one he emptied the half-gallon fruit jars into the sewer, and as the contents of each ran away he seemed to grow more determined to stick to his statement that it was his first haul of liquor and would be his last. His sentence will be up about New Year, as he is being granted a number of days grace for extra work he is performing.

ROCKVILLE, Md., December 13.— In the suit of former Mayor Edgar W. Moore and & number of other well known residents of Kensington, this county, instituted in the Circuit Court here several weeks ago, to restrain the Maryland State Roads Commission from constructing a bridge over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks at the end of Lincoln avenue, Kensington, Judge Robert B. Peter late yesterday passed an order giving the road's com- mission 10 days in which to answer both the bill of complaint and a rule to show cause why an injunction should not be issued. Delays Order. Judge Peter refused, however, to grant a preliminary injunction until the expiration of the 10 days. In a recent decision on demurrers to the numerous allegations of the bill of complaint, the court, in overrulling the demurrers to some of the principal allegations of the bill, held that certain statutory requirements, such as giving proper notice of a hearing, filing with the county commissioners a certified copy of the plans and specifications, alleged, the roads commission neglected complied with. Court Held Powerless. Judge Peter further held in deciding the demurrers that compliance with the statutory preliminaries rendered the court powerless to interfere. He sustained the demurrers to several paragraphs of the bill and gave the plaintiffs a certain number of days in which to amend their bill of com- plaint, which, however, they elected not to do. The order passed by Judge Peter yes- terday clears the way for the case to be heard on its merits, provided the an- swers are flled as indicated. Since Judge Peter handed down his opinion on the demurrers, the roads commission has complied with some of the preliminaries neglected in the first place and has signified its purpose to proceed with the construction of the overhead and the elimination of the dangerous grade crossing at Kensing- ton. < e ‘There are men living today Who can remember the time when Christmas advertising for bids, etc., which, it was | STAR, WASHINGTON, Special Dispatch to The Star. WOODLAWN, Va., December 13.—An unidentified white man about 25 years old was instantly killed last night when the automobile which he was driving skidded into a large truck on the Rich- mond road near the entrance to Fort Humphreys. The man, a hitch-hiker, had asked a ride at Lynchburg from Cyril Marks, colored, of 216 West ©One Hundred and Forty-first street, New York City.

Special Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va,, December 13—L. L. Freeman, president of the Vienna Vol- unteer Fire Department and chairman | of the Fairfax County Chamber of Com- merce’s standing committee on county- | wide fire protection, has called a meet- ing of representatives of the volunteer fire departments of Fairfax County for tomorrow night at his home to discuss the request which is to be made to the board of supervisors by the departments for inclusion of a small tax for fire protection in the next county budget. This action, which was defeated last year by a tie vote—Supervisors Reid, Davis and Buckley voting no, the latter negative vote being sustained by the board's official tie breaker, L. A. Pop- kins—was supported by the Chamber of Commerce and many of the leading civic organizations of the county. The plan on which Mr. Freeman and the other leaders are now working is the formulation of an adjusted tax, varying with the different districts, according to the benefits to be derived, the more populous districts, such as Providence, Falls Church and Dranesville, paying a larger percentage of the total than the districts which would derive the least protection. A second matter to be discussed at tomorrow night’s meecting is the ad- visability of organizing a Fairfax County firemen’s association distinct from the | present bi-county organization. Dis- satisfaction over the latter's refusal to investigate and censure, if necessary, the conduct of some of its members, which last September received wide publicity, has brought to a head a feel- ing of discontent brewing for some time.
