BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Btaff Correspondent of The Star.. ROCKVILLE, Md,, January 3.—With a view to beginning excavation within the next 30 days for the proposed new county building here, definite steps are expected to be taken st the meeting of the bullding committee here this afternoon on recommendations to be made by the subcommittee on buildings, of which Lacy Shaw, vice president of the board of county commissioners, is chairman. The committee, it was said, will urge that certain of the structures in the path of the excavators be razed within 30 days, others within 90 days, while the remainder will be allowed to stand until next January. The committee also will consider reports of the sub- committee having charge of the selec- tion of an engineer to supervise the work and on the plans and specifica- tions and another committee on the matter of the selection of materials. Building Sales Recommended. ‘The recommendations will be made to the building committee that the buildings selected to go shortly be sold, after being advertised, and that the purchasers be required to remove them. ‘The structures selected to go in 30 days are those on Court street, south of the Robertson Building, and the building of ‘the Farmers’ Banking & Trust Co. They include the building occupled as an electric store, the church and the double frame house on the extreme southeast corner of the square. - The structures selected to go in 90 days are on the south side of the square and include what are known as the Offutt, Moulden, McDonald and Ander- son properties, Shaw said. It was ex- plained that all the bulldings on these sites are in the path of the ares which will be required for the building proper, while the other buildings on Washing- ton and Commerce streets are on land which will furnish the parking around the new building. Thus, allowing these structures to remain will not interfere with the building operations, but they will be removed in time for landscaping the parking around the proposed build- ing. Site to Be Cleared. ‘While no contract has been let for the actual construction of the building, Shaw said that it was desirable to begin the razing of the buildings lying in the path of the construction as rap- idly as possible, so that excavation can Citizens’ Assoclation; Maj.

The exterior de- sign and the plans and specifications now are before the National Commis- sion of Fine Arts, to which they were submitted last week by Rossell Edward Mitchell, the architect, it being the de- sire of the officials to have the opinion of this body on the structure because of its proximity to the National Capi- tal, as they want to have it conform as far as practicable to the Federal public buildings. It is hoped that the com- mission will give its decision by Jan- uary 15, so that plans then may be formulated for letting the contract for the actual construction. HEAD OF MONARCH CLUB WANTS GOVERNING BODY New President of Clarendon Organ- ization Would Allow More Time for Entertainment. By & Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., January 3.—The election of a governing board to conduct the routine business of the organization, in order that more time can be given at weekly luncheon meetings to enter- tainment and policy, was advocated at the regular meeting yesterday of the Arlington County Monarch Club by A. B, Honts, newly elected it. ‘The proposal was made by Honts in a speech coincident with his installation as president to succeed Walter U. Varney. Honts thinks the governing board should consist of the five mem- bers of the present executive committee and four additional members to be elected. The suggestion will be acted upon at the next meeting. As a result of the resignation of P, P. Woodbridge as secretary, the club elected Floyd H. Goff to take his place. {HAGERSTOWN PRISONERS MAY DO SNOW SHOVELING | Councilman Suggests Plan in Re- turn for Keep at City Jail. Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va.. January 3.—Creation of a “Potomac River Commission” by the State Legislature at the session which opens Wednesday will be urged by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, according to Thomas R. Kelth of Fairfax. Keith, who was ap- pointed chairman of a special commit- tee of the chamber to study the de- velopment of the water power rights of the Potomac, particularly as they affect x County and the State of Vir- ginia, has drawn up & bill which will be introduced by Senator Ball and Delegate Freeman after it has received the endorsement of the full board of directors at the meeting in Vienna January 14. ‘The special committee appointed to deal with this situation, Messers Thomas Keith, M. E. Church, A. Smith Bowman, Douglas Mackall, John Rooney and Thurlow White, will meet Monday after- noon in the Chamber of Commerce office to discuss the specific provisions of the bill and methods to be used in pushing it before the legislature. ‘The proposed bill as outlined by Keith is modeled after the Arizona act dealing with the Boulder Dam situation. Ksith points out that the situation here is very similar to that at Boulder Dam, the States of Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia and the Federal Government all possessing certain claims and rights to the development of this river. ‘The bill calls for a commission of three appointed by the governor, with the governor as an ex officio member, the terms of office of members to run concurrently with the governorship, but members to hold office until their suc- cessors are appointed. It would be the duty of this commission to negotiate with accredited representatives of the other States affected with a view to effecting an equitable agreement re- specting the allocation of the waters of the Potomac and its tributaries and other benefits to be derived from the development of the river and respecting all matters relating ‘]the rights of the State of Virginia or #ny of its citizens. Any agreements entered into by this commission will be subject to approval by the General Assembly and approved oy the governor and by the Federal Con- gress. Chairman Would Be Chosen. ‘The bill directs that the commission shall meet immediately upon its crea- tion. shall elect one of its members as chairman, and one as secretary, both to serve without compensation. The gov- ernor is requested to notify the Gover- nors of Maryland and West Virginia and the President of the United States of the creation of such a commisison and endeavor to secure &s soon as pos- sible meetings with similar accredited representatives of the other units. The Attorney General of Virginia is named as legal adviser for the commission, with the right to hire special assistants or experts as may be necessary. Em- ployment of engineers to investigate and report on any engineering problems rel- ative to the Potomac River, available and logical dam sites for flood control or the creation of hydro-electric power over the waters of the Potomac and its tributaries is also authorized. The l;nr;lumlul 'ol!m is Iu!.hogled in tlhe propose( open an office, employ clerical help and issue and aumsuu such reports and bulletins as will in- form the public of such facts with re- spect to Virginia's rights and interests in the Potomac River, as in its judg- ment will advance the development of that river. In view of the fact that an emer- gency exists in order that the impor- tant duties with which this commission will be intrusted should be executed without delay the bill asks that it be enforced from its passage. The Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce has for the past three or four years gone on record consistently as in favor of water-power develop- ment at Great Falls and on the Po- tomac. Opinion repeatedly expressed by directors and members points out that such development is quite con- sistent with the maintenance of the beauties and_the park site develop- ment, of the Potomac River gorge and environs of Washington, FAIRFAX C. OF C. BODY TO DISCUSS TAX PLANS Committee to Consider Method of Making Five-Year Real Es- tate Reassessments, Special Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va., January 3-—F. . 8. McCandlish of Fairfax has called a| 3 meeting of the subcommittee of the Chamber of Commerce to consider pro- posed changes in the statute outlining the method of making the State's five- year reassessment of real estate, This meeting will be held tomorrow morning. The committee plans to draw up its report in the form of a resolution em- bodying suggested changes in the pres- ent law, rather than in the form of a substitute bill. It is recognized that other counties will present recommend- ations also on this subject, as it is one which vitally affects the entire State. Any final bill will in all probability be drawn by State Tax Commissioner Morrisett. The Fairfax chamber will therefore concentrate its energies on seeing that the main points it wishes t:n:lt.rul are ;rgbo'gleg”m the blun:a ly presen State Legis- lature.
