By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va, November 19.—Substantial reductions in both domestic and commercial water rates are recommended in a detailed report of the water department that was submitted to the County Board today by County Manager Roy 8. Braden. Discussion on the report and recommendations was deferred to a special meeting to be held in the near future, On the domestic service, Braden recommends that the minimum rate per quarter, based upon a consumption of 10,000 gallons, be reduced from $6 %0 $5, a saving for the year to the con- sumer of $4. Urder the recommenda- tion the excess would be graduated in cost as follows: Saving for Excess Use. First 20,000 gallons excess, 30 cents 1,000 gallons; next 20,000 gallons, cents per 1,000 gallons, and all over hat amount, 22 cents per 1,000 gallons. At the present time all excess is charged at the rate of 30 cents per 1,000 gallons, hence the consumer would be offered a further saving in the excess used. The present commercial consumption D I rate is 30 cents per 1,000 gallons used. Braden recommends that this be changed to provide a 30 cent charge for the first 10,000 gallons, 25 cents for the next 20,000 gallons, 20 cents for the next 50,000 gallons and 18 cents for all over 80,000 gallons. Only places of business that pay a State license, manufacturing plants and apartment houses having more than three housekeeping units would be en- titled to the commercial rates. Tapping Chargg Unchanged. The tapping charge would remain at $49, as at present, but the owner hav- ing the meter installed would be given the privilege of making an initial pay- ment of $10 and the balance in three equal quarterly installments, with in- terest et 6 per cent. The front footage charge of $1 also would be unchanged, but users would be permitted to make payment in eight equal quarterly in- stallments, plus interest. New water line extensions would be made on the basis of one-half cash and the balance in seven quarterly install- ments, provided there is enough front- age signed up to take care of the cost of the entire line. The maximum front footage charge would be $100, regard- less of the amount of property abutting on the line. Penalty for Delinquency. Among other recommendations made, Braden suggests that a penalty of 50 cents be added if bills are not paid on or before the 15th of the month fol- lowing their receipt: that service be ciscontinued if all bills for services are not paid within 30 days after the close of the quarter for which the bills were rendered; that bills be rendered to the property owner rather than the tenant; that $15,000 a quarter be set aside for the water debt fund: that the debt fund be deposited where it will draw the greatest interest; that all spigots on fire hydrants be removed as of De- cember 31, and that the “stagger” sys- tem of sending out statements be in effect after January 1, 1933. The County Board at its meeting to- day again deferred action on the Stuart and Head zoning matters because of the absence of Mrs. Elizabeth B. Magruder, who is ill These matters have been highly controversial, and when action was deferred at a meeting last Mon- day, it had been announced that they would be definitely settled today. Ask Street Lights, A request was received from M. C. Humm for the installation of street lights along the Military road from Rosslyn to Fort Myer. Humm called attention to the fact that the military authorities no longer maintain lights along this road and that it is dangerous because not policed either by the Fort Myer authorities or the county. It was stated that action is planned in this matter. but a definite .decision must await action of the State Corporation on the difference in the rates of the Virginia Public Service Co. and the Braddock Light & Power Co. Board Member Lyman M. Kelly called the attention of the board to the fact that the county is not participating in the Community Chest this year and urged the Board of Public Welfare be requested to inaugurate an immediate drive to divert the contributions of Ar- lington County residents to the local welfare agency.

Four Archers Hunt Deer in Preserve Guarded by Plane Only Bows and Arrows Permitted—One Buck Is Nicked by Arrow. By the Associated Press. BLANEY, Mich, November 18— While high-powered rifles are barking elsewhere along the far-flung deer-| hunting front, the only noise in the 6,000-acre archery preserve near here comes from an airplane droning over- head, patrolling for poachers with rifles. No hunting except with bow and ar- row is permitted in the preserve and four huntsmen are stalking deer armed with those primitive weapons. The quivers of these sportsmen are filled with 27-inch steel-tipped arrows. Their bows require a “pull” ranging from 45 to 62 pounds. At the proper range, the archers claim, their arrows are just as deadly as bullets—but the hunter must get much closer to the deer. All four archers have had chance this season, but none has bagged I buck. Edward Pottruff of Grand Rap- ids, came closest, nicking a buck with an arrow that was deflected by a branch. The other preserve hunters are Frank W. Mosher, Grand Rapids; Monroe Merrill, Pontiac, and O. E. Marvel, former Army officer.

He states that about 1 per cent of the rabbits in this locality are infected and that the germs pass from the rabbits to human beings through the skin of the hand, causing, | serious and sometimes fatal | |as a rul | illness. | " Hunters, Dr. Ellicoit states, should not pick up rabbits in their bare hands | and those who prepare rabbits for cook- ing should wear gloves while thus en- | gaged.
