LEESECTIONGROLP . SPLT OVER ROADS Mass Meeting Shows Citizens Divided on Highway Improvement. o A, .;fltl Dispatch $o The Star. JURKE, Va, July 14—Opinion on the advisability of bonding Lee district for approximately $213,612.20 in order to construct 25 miles of gravel roads seemed to be about equally divided at the mass meeting in the Burke Com- munity Hall Saturday night. It was decided to hold another meeting at Lor- ton on July 25 to continue the discus- slon with the residents of the southern section of the district. Saturday’s meeting was attended by Between 100 and 125 citizens. The meeting was called by the Lee District Improvement Association, which was organized several weeks ago as an out- m&uot the former Rolling Road lon. Association’s Purpose Outlined. President Warner outlined the pur- Ppose for which the association had been | organized. Speeches were made by Ed- mund H. Allen of Newington, president of the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce; Martin Webb of Annandale, former president of the chamber; Joseph L. Bristow, one of the largest land owners in Ree district; Mason Hirst of Annandale, whose proposal to bond Lee, Mount Vernon and Falls Church districts in order to hard sur- face the road from Annandale to Pohick Church has been largely responsible for much of the recent sgitation for road improvement in the southern section of fax County. They outlined the benefits accruing to any neighborhood from road improvement, with the con- sequent increase in property values, ac- cessibllity, time saving and other ad- vantages, pointing out that Lee dis- trict’s valuations today are the lowest in the county, largely due to isolation eaused by lack of proper means of com- munication. Project Costs Given. J. B. Davis of Burke presented a re- prepared by County Engineer F. . Larkin listing the mileage and cost of improving each of the roads under consideration. The* first road, entail- ing some new construction between the Burke road and the Braddock road from Rolling road to Accotink Creek, | 2.5 miles, would cost $17,050; route No. 8, from Farr Post Office to Butts Cor- ners, 2.8 miles, $25,190; the Sydenstrick- er road, from Five Forks to Sydenstrick- | er, 2.7 miles, $18,128; the Rolling road, | from the Washington-Richmond High- | way near Pohick to the Braddock road, | 8.8 miles, $60,016; the Guinea road, from | Jef Elgin’s residence on the Ox road to | the shingle house corner near Burke, 2.9 miles, $32,989; County road No. 14, from Sydenstricker Church to Halls| Cross Roads, 1.2 miles, $15,400; Toad No. 13, from Burke to Donovans Corners, 3 miles, $30,263.20; Wakefleld road, from the Little River Turnpike to the Braddock road, 1.9 miles, $14,575. Figures Estimates Only. ‘These figures, it was pointed out by Davis, are merely estimates, and County Engineer Larkin has included a 10 per cent allowance for engineering econ- tingencies. It is probable that the ac- tual eonstruction costs would be less than the estimate. The cost of a num- Ber_of bridges is also included. | While no,definite figures had been | secured from the county's treasurer’s e as to the amount by which a bond of 3213,61120 would increase it was estimated that with a valuation of between $1,300,000 and | 81,400,000, an increase of approximately | $1.50 per $100 valuation would be en- tailed. Such a bond issue would also Teach almost to the limit of what the district ecdn Jegally ‘borrow, which by statute is limited to 17 per cent of the WValuation. Roads Widths a Problem. ‘This 25 miles under consideration govers most of the unimproved main fraveled roads in the district. It seemed the concenus of opinion that any bond issue must take all these roads into consideration to have a chance of passage. The chief stumbling block seems now to be the requirement that bond issue roads must be 22 feet wide and built according to State specifica- tions. Some of the citizens felt that 12 foot roads would be sufficient, cutting down, materially, both the original coss of construction and the maintenance ¢harges. As a general rule those who spoke in favor ofa bond issue were residents of the section needing improvement, while those who opposed such action were al- ready served by a good road. . Carter called attention to 2 which Lee district owes to the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce for its assistance in having the Ox road placed #v» the State highway system.
