APPRAISERS URGED FOR PARKWAY LANI]! Col. Grant Suggests Board Be Named to Value Arling- ton County Purchases. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of Tha Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va, September 30.—The set- tng up of & board of appraisers for the purpose of valulng land in Arlington County that may be purchasec for the construction of the George Washington Memorial Parkway is proposed in a letter received today by the Board of County Supervisors from Lieut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 3d, executive officer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. ‘The appraisal board, as proposed in the letter, would consist of three mem- bers, one to be appointed by the Arling- ton County Board of Supervisors, a sec- ond by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission anc the third by the first two members appointed. In explaining the proposal for a com- mission of three, Col. Grant states that 1t it is much larger the time required to reach a conclusion in each case con- sidered will be considerably extended, and if but one man is used his recoi mendation may be biased in one way or another. Assumes Board's Interest. Col. Grant stated that the National Capital Park an¢ Planning Commission assumes that the Board of Supervisors is interested in the development of the parkway as proposed under the pro- vision of the Capper-Cramton bill. “Certainly this is a project of great interest to your county,” he said, “not only from a standpoint of making it a delightful place to live in, but also from the economic advantages that may ac- crue to the county in increased as- sessed values and improvements.” “This commission has been studying the tentative ways anc means of initiat- ing purchases within the limits of the project,” said the letter. “Some pro- posals have been received which would enable the commission to buy consider- able areas if it could take advantage of the provision advancing the funds that the law requires to be contributed by the local interests.” Continuing, after quoting the portion of the bill that provides that, the politi- cal jurisdiction affecied shalf stand half of the expense. but may be given eight years in which to provice the funds, Col. Grant said: ‘Wejcomes Co-operation. “If, therefore, any arrangement can be entered into by your board which will satisfy you that you can give some sort of binding guarantee for ultimate- ly paying the second half of the pur- chase price of any unit, or units, this commission would be at liberty to go ahead with the purchase of the prop- erty so covered. We would welcome your co-operation in this regard.” In conclusion, he states that “it would be a great pleasure for me to meet with you and discuss this matter thoroughly, if to ¢o so would be help- ful and convenient to you.” SEE and HEAR the New VICTOR RADIO TONY ASTORE'’S | 236 435 St. S.W.

Attempts on the two days following produced some results, and, though they were slight, the people of The Plains say that it had been months since any raiu fell on three successive days. Since then their ‘efforts have been to install electromagnetic units for a radius of some miles and attract the clouds before trying to produce precipi- tatlon.

Criticized Connection With Collision Killing One and Injuring 29. By the Associated Press. Sharp criticism of operation of the Pennsylvania Railroad near Macksville, Ind., on August 14, which resulted in the injury of 29 persons and the death of 11in a collision was presented today by the Safety Bureau of the Intetstate Commerce Commission. Circumstances surrounding this ac- cident “add one more chapter to the long record of accidents involving care- lessness in block operation and loose practices and disregard of rules in con- nection with the handling of train orders,” the Inspector said. A passenger train met a freight head- on in the accident, and the Public Serv- ice Commission of Indiana aided the in- vestigation by Federal agents. “This accident was caused primarily by the failure of Dispatcher-operator Hasfurder to deliver a meet order,” the finding read. “Contributing causes ware the failure of Dispatcher Wilson to com- ply with the rules when issuing the order in question together with a mis- understanding by the operators in the operation of the manual block. 2001 16th St. N.W. 3 Rooms, Kitchen and Bath ELECTRIC REFRIGERATION Regular Delivery Over 100,000 families read The Star every day, The great ma- Jority have the paper delivered regularly every evening and Sun- day morning at a cost of 11 cents daily and 5 cents Sunday.
