A—10 = THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, P, 0, HkErAY, JUNE 13, 1930. GOUNTY OFFICIALS DEFEND OIL PERMIT MArlington Supervisors Seek ‘Development of Home Building and Industry. i BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT | BOUSF, Va, June 13.—A well balanced | %\ .opment, consisting of both industry and Home bullding, is the idea of the| rd of county supervisors in its at- titude toward the Sun Oil Co. permit and other permits granted by them that have met with opposition from various | qgarters. his attitude of the board and a simi- lar one by the owners of property that appears to them to be suitable for in-| dustrial use are given to show the “oth- er side” in the oil plant fight. Feels It Represents Public. In granting this and other permits the bgard feels that it represents the real pepulation of the county and not what they describe as the ‘“speech- mnklng type,” and that one of their duties is bring in industry that will not only in- | cipase the taxes, but furnish employ- | ment to_those citizens of the county | who need it. Parks, it is pointed out by members, have been discussed for years, but have néver materialized. They believe that there is no assurance even now that any are to be developed, since the pro- visions of the Cramton bill call for & mmtching of Federal funds by the State o, locality affected, and it would be im- sible to count on an appropriation the State. f the Federal Government is sincere {rr its park development plans, one of | tHe county officials said, it will do as it | did in the development of a part of | Pdtomac Park in Washington-—consider what s needed and then institute co demnation proceedings, paying a fair | pulce for property acquired. Property | owners, they say, cannot go on paying taXes on property while they hold it to await the pleasure of the Federal Gov- erhment or any other agency to make use of it. ‘Another pronounced attitude of the local governing body is that the Na- tienal Capital Park and Planning Com- jon has no rights on the Virginia| side of the river until it acquires| the property to give it that right, hence | it.is up to the board of supervisors to exercise the authority vested in it to the best of its ability. Not Averse to Parks. The board, it is claimed, is not averse to. parks or park development, provided the owners of the property are remu- nerated in an amount equal to that which could be obtained in the sale of their property to private ownership. There are undoubtedly cases in which this attitude can be understood, an ex- ample being that of the position in which are placed the present owners of the property sought by the Sun Ofl Ca. for its tank farm and wharf. od"lrhe owners of this property and of er properties in the county have had {t;in their possession for a number of years, havmg in some cases invested almost all of their funds on one tract of land. They are not opposed to park development—many of them, in fact, fayoring it—but they are not financially able to hold the land until such time a9 it will be purchased by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission or similar agency, especially when they afe not sure how long they will be compelled to continue payment of taxes od land that is increasing yearly in assessment. JIn this particular case and in others of a similar nature industry has of- fered attractive prices for the property and the owners have not felt justified i turning these offers down. If the Federal Government were in a position tor equal these offers it is believed that the owners would just as readily sell for park purg:e! ‘The Sun Oil Co. incidentally, offered to donate 300-foot right of way through the property to be acquired by it, it is claimed. “The only part of Arlington County’s ‘water front that is on navigable water, it- is claimed, is that plot to be ac- quired by the Sun Oil Co. and a small strip south of the Key Bridge, and the board of supervisors believes that this should be retained for marine shipping erom PREPARE TO FIGHT DISEASE IN INDIA Plans of Anti-Tuberculosis Cam- paign Outlined at Meeting. “The work of the newly o lud India-Foreign Committee for tension of Tuberculosis Control in Indh was outlined by Mrs. George F.
