" PAVING REPLAGES OLD COBBLESTONE Alexandria Will Have Only Four Blocks of Original Street Surface Left. By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va, October 4— Another landmark of historic Alexan- dria, one of the few remaining sec- tions of its picturesque cobblestone streets, will soon disappear in favor of modern improvements, it became evident today as city forces started work of resurfacing the 100 and 200 blocks of Duke street. . ‘The cobblestone, brought here from England in the early days when this city thrived as a shipping center, originally covered all principal thor- oughfares of Alexandria. They are said to have been laid originally by Hessian prisoners cap- tured by the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. The resurfacing of the two blocks on Duke street will leave cobblestones on only four blocks in Alexandria. Two of these are the river-front sec- tions of Prince and Woife streets, where residents of restored homes have asked the stone streets be re- tained.

S. Awaited. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, October 4.—The filing of briefs by Burco, Inc., and the Fed- eral Government was awaited today in the first test case against the public utility holding company act after the American States Public Service Co. lodged a two-edged attack in its brief. The Burco organization must file its brief within 10 days. This company claims the act is constitutional. The Government must file within two ‘weeks thereafter. The briefs are supplemental to oral arguments presented at a 10-day sed- sion in United States District Court here, with Judge Willlam C. Cole- man presiding. In its brief filed yesterday, the American States Public Service Co. asserted it had been advised by coun- sel the holding company act was un- constitutional. It noted that the pe- tition filed by Fred Lautenbach, a creditor, whose counsel is John W. Davis, former Democratic presidential nominee, also asserts it is uncon- stitutional. The brief holds that if the act is constitutional, no plan for the re- organization of the American States Our New concern was feasible. It then asserted that “a finding of ‘national public in- terest’ in itself confers no power on Congress,” and that “Congress is at- tempting to obtain new powers by forcing submission.” APPLICATIONS REFUSED FOR BEVERAGE PERMITS Three Are Turned Down {n Prince Georges and Two Others Are Canceled.
