Accokeek and vicinity to the Oxon Hill Consolidated School. Youngs Corner and vicinity to the Marl- boro Colored High School. In addition the school board provided that the budget specify that pupils now being transported on bus lines to the Oxon Hill Consolidated School be charged $20 a year, and that with this fund a bus line be established to trans- port pupils to that school from Fort It was also ordered that $24,000 be included in the budget to continue the operation of bus lines now established, | nn:!cr the same conditions as at pres- ent. ‘ An expenditure of $8,000, “or so much 85 may be necessary,” was provided in the budget for the erection of an addi- tion to the Beltsville School.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va., March 5.—Fol- nearly midnight, and after two amend- ments had been adopted, the Senate has already been passed by the House. tended by large delegations of inde- pendent merchants from Alexandria and other Northern Virginia points, was the largest public committee hear- ing of the present session. Bill Amended. ‘The original bill was amended by the committee to exempt railroad commis- saries and chain gasoline filling sta- tions, the former not being considered profit making institutions and there alrady being two taxes, wholesale and retail, on the oil companies operating chain filling stations. Proponents of the bill at the hearing were Wilbur C. Hall, delegate from Loudoun County and patron of the measure; J. Fred Birrell, delegate from Alexandria; L. L, , delegate from Fairfax County, and W. T. John- son of the Wholesale Merchants’' As- sociation of Virginia. Thomas B. Gay, attorney for the Standard Oil Co., who appeared in op- position, gained his point when the amendment exempting chain filling stations was adopted. Another dispute arose when Birrell asked Edward F. Grace, representative of the president of the Virginia Federa- tion of Labor, which body is opposing the bill, how he reconciled the policy of his tion to oppose orzanized wealth with his stand on the bill. Gay said that the federation sup- ported chain stores because they sell cheaper and encourage the laboring classes to purchase for cash. A. R. Bowles, representing the chain stores of Richmond. said that the ‘This, however, does not include interest gwm.so on bonds issued January 1, EIGHT NOMINATED FOR POLICE BOARD > Cumberland Primary Results Show .

BY JOHN T. LIPSCOMB, Staft Correspondent of The Btar. CLARENDON, Va, March 5—That all controversy over the establishment of the Lee Boulevard and the Straight- | to-the-bridge route, which was apparent | when consideration was first given to these proposed Virginia approaches to the Arlington Memorial Bridge, has been dissipated, was evidenced last night when the Arlington County Civic Federation without opposition adopted resolutions favorable & each. The first resolution, which was offered by the executive committee of the fed- eration, through its chairman, Harry A. Fellows, indorses the bill offered in the National House of Representatives by Representative R. Walton Moore, pro- viding for the construction by the Agri- culture Department of that section of the Lee Boulevard which circles Fort Myer and joins the bridge. Second Resolution Adopted. ‘This was later followed by the adop- tion of a resolution offered by Arthur Orr advocating early construction of the part of the proposed Straight-to-the- Bridge Boulévard that will connect Wil- son Boulevard with the bridge. The resolution requests the State Highway Commission “to include in its project of approach roads to the Memorial Bridge to be ready for use by the time that bridge is opened for traffic, that portion of the Straight-to-the- Bridge Boulevard (approximately five- eighths of a mile) beginning with its intersection with the Lee Boulevard in Porter Woods and extending to the Wilson Boulevard in Clarendon, along such route, and to such point of inter- section with Wilson Boulevard in Olar- endon as the State Highway Commis- sion shall deem suitable.” Copies of the Lee Boulevarc resolu- tion were ordered sent’ to Mr. Moore, Senators Swanson and Glass, the chair- man of the committee on public build- ings and grounds and to executive icer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. To the State Highway Commission and mem- bers of the county board of supervisors will be sent copies of the Straight-toe the-bridge resolution, ‘Would Change Cramton Bill. Congress is requested by a resolution offered by the executive committee to amend the Cramton bill so as either to eliminate all reference to a bridge at Great Falls, thereby restoring the char- ter of the private toll bridge company, or to add a section definitely providing for the financing and erection of a free bridge at an early date and not requir- ing appropriations from the States of Maryland and Virginia. ‘The bill as passed by the House of Representatives, the resolution sets forth, includes an amendment prohibit- ing the erection of any toll bridge with- in the limits of the proposed Potom: also an amendment au- g a free bridge one-half of the cost of which shall be borne by the vernment to foot the the | States of Maryland and In the Go a | tio: in the actual hearing, being eonm to lobby against the measure beforehand.

The report of the United States Bu- reau of Education relative to county school conditions and needed enlarge- ments of the system was approved by the meeting when it adopted a resolu- tion offered by the school committee recommending “that the school authori- ties taek appropriate steps as soon as practicable to put into effect the pro- posed school building program as rec- ommended by the bureau.” The resolu- also requests the constituent mem- tion | bers of the federation to lend their aid | to the school authorities in consumma- tion of the proposed program. A bond ue of $580,000 is recom- mended to carry out the :rufl'lm. of which $355,000 is estimated for actual construction and $225,000 for refunding short term loans used for capital in- vestment. Col. A. H. Barbour, president of the Interfederation Conference and former president of the Montgomery County Civic Federation, addressed the meeting. He pointed out the advantages of joint action on problems affecting any sec- tion of the area designated for regional development, declaring “we of Maryland want to help you. As you improve so will we and vice versa.” The Fire Department of the District of Columbia and the fire rescue squad is highly commended and thhnked for its “excellent and meritorious service rendered in saving life and grflpefly in Arlington Co\lntg." by another resolu- tion offered by the and unanimously adopted. Park Bill Change. Fearful that an amendment made to the bill, setting up of a new Virginia Park and Planning Commission, pro- viding for ratification by all jurisdic- tions concerned before it can’ become effective, will sound the death knell of the measure, due to reported opposition in Alexandria, the meeting voted to direct the secretary to communicate with Senator Ball at Richmond, request- ing him to change the amendment to read: “Shall become effective in and FOLLOW #: CROWDS | oTHIS 4renl SPRING || clearance SALE _—-_, — . = CHEVROLET | I — Crowds! ing values.
