R —— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D.- C. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY ARLINGTON ZONING ~ PROTESTS HEARD Civic, Commercial and Indus- " trial Groups Present Views to Supervisors. BY JOHN T. LIPSCOMB. Staff Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va, February 15— Many changes in the tentative zoning ordinance designed to regulate and con- | trol future development in Arlington County were recommended and urged by representatives of civic, commercial and industrial groups at the final pub- lic hearing on the ordinance before the County Board of Supervisors at the | court house yesterday. All members of the board were present and included Chairman E. C. Duncan, B. H. Hedrick | and E. C. Turnburke. Objections to the ordinance were not | as many as had been expected, however, | according to a statement of Fred A.| Gosnell, chairman of the commission, which drafted the document. In pre-; senting their pleas for change of desig- | nation, most of the objectors were free - to admit that the commission had done & splendid piece of work. Compiaints Heard Separately. | Complaints of the three districts were heard separately, Washington district | being the first to be called on. Charles | Jarrells, speaking for the citizens of Mackey's Hill, who have been conduct- ing a fight against establishment of an | oil storage and distribution plant on a site adjoining their section, urged that | all oil plants be relegated to heavy in- dustrial zones. If this is denied, he stated, the people should be ascured of ample fire protection. The zoning commission has zoned the proposed oil plapt si‘e residential, but the supervisors have granted a per- mit for establishment of the plant. Thomas Phillips, attorney for the oil company, requested the board to desig- nate the proposed site as industrial so that it may conform to the action of the board in favoring the permit. Expressing_the belief that plans of the Federal Government for park and ‘boulevard development on this side of the Potomac would, in a few years, “wipe out Rosslyn” as a light industrial area. thereby leaving the county with- out sufficient area for this class of de- velopment, Frank Lyon, a large land owner and real estate operator, sug- gested that territory in the vicinity of Douglas Station, Spout Run and the Iee Highway be changed from resi- dential to light industrial. Arlington District. Arlington district - was next heard from, Walter K. Handy presenting a petition from citizens of Barcroft pro- testing against blocks C and D of that community being zoned commercial. The petition was signed by 75 per cent of the residents within the above-men- tioned blocks and 62 per cent of the residents immediately adjoining. The petitioners would have the area zoned Tesidential A. bert N. Anderson, president of the Lyon Village Citizens' Association, ap- pearing for that body. which he said represented the will of 200 members, declared that the present plan of com- mercial development for Lee Xighway, skirting the village, would prove a great detriment to the homes erected thereon and asked for a change of classification to residential. He also urged that that section of the village fronting on Wil- son Boulevard from Oak street to Vir- ginia avenue which has tentatively been zoned to provide for light business be made residential. bert A. Freer, representing the Arlington District Council of Citizens’ Associations, presented a petition from that body supporting the protest and suggestions of the Lyon Village citizens. Henry L. Morris, vice president of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, the | first to speak for changes in the zon- ing plans for Jefferson district, urged that Washington avenue, which he said would eventually be one of the main connections of the new Mount Vernon Boulevard, be kept free of light in- dustrial. Want Light Industries. W. G. McCarthy and Lawrence | Douglas, appearing as counsel for the | Washington _Airports, Inc., and the Colliflower Coal Co., respectively, ap- pealed to the board to change to light industrial several areas in the vicinity of the business houses represented by | them which have been _tentatively | zoned residential B. Lawrence claimed that his clients had paid as high as $3 | per_foot for land for business purposes | and that they could not get one-third | of that if they were forced to reserve it for home development. Appearing for the Arlington County Civic Federation, Harry A. Fellows of- | fered a resolution adopted by that or-! ganization protesting against the lack of restrictions provided for the erection of apartment houses, for farming and | for the raising of live stock. . The fed- | eration would have an amendment | added to section 3 to provide that proj- | ects of this character “can only be es- | tablished on permit of the board of | supervisors after hearing.” Mr. Gosnell, near the conclusion of the hearing, declared he was not in ac- cord with the view of Mr. Lyon that Rosslyn would be lost to the county @s a light industrial area and that he | could see no good reason for changing | the zoning in the Douglas Station sec- | tion. “If Mr. Lyon is right the ordi- | nance can be changed later on to meet | the new conditions,” he said. H Chairman Duncan announced that | the board would take under advisement all protests and recommendations and adoption of the finished ordinance Jrould probably be recorded in the next ! 0 days. ROCKVILLE. At the request of Rockville house- keepers, Miss Ruth Braden, Red Cross nutritionist, who is conducting nutri- | tiop classes in the public schools and elsewhere in the county under auspices | of the Montgomery County Red Cross Chapter, is arranging to form a nutri- tiop class in Rockville. With that end ingview. she has asked all interested ‘wolnen to meet at the home of Mrs. Themas Barnsley next Friday evening to further the project. It is understood to Miss Braden's plan to conduct | a @ourse of six lessons. | e executive committee of the | woman's board of the Montgomery County General Hospital, Sandy Spring, ha§ named Mrs. F.

Willis, 84, former Mayor of Fredericksburg, Va., whose death occurred here this week, had several thrilling Civil War experiences in the vicinity of Winchester, friends here recalled today. Enlisting in Company I, 6th Virginia Cavalry, known as the Orange Rangers, at the age of 17 years, young Willis was cut off by the enemy near Sum- mit Point, north of Winchester, and called upon to surrender. = Instead he-drew his pistols, fired all the shots at the party secking his capture and cut his way through. He was shot in the foot as he rode away, cheered by the enemy for his exploit. Some time afterward he was as- signed to a raiding party, which crossed the bleak mountains and through frozen streams into Berkeley County, W. Va., where the small band of Confederates attacked and captured several officers of a force of Federal soldiers stationed there. One of the officers happened to be attending a dance some miles away that night and escaped capture. He was Wiiliam McKinley, afterward President of the United States. IN SHENANDOAH Ralph Painter Is Drowned While Crossing River Near Luray. Special Dispatch to The Star. LURAY. Va., February 15.—Ralph Painter, about 18 years old, a son of Mr. and Mrs. George Painter of near Newport, this county, was drowned in crossing the Shenandoan River on his way home from a hunting trip. When their son failed to return, his parents, becoming uneasy, instituted a search. His boat was discovered down the river, where it had lodged against an island, right side up. and his two dogs and gun in the skiff. The river was dragged and his body found in about 9 feet of water. A pole with a gig at the end which he used in pushing the boat was sticking straight up near where his body was found. How the accident occurred is a matter of con- jecture, as there were no eyewitnesses and he was not an expert swimmer.
