WILL SEEK AUTHORITY
FOR A STREET SYSTEM
Alexandria County Supervisors to
Name Board to Advise as to
Highways.

The Alexandria county supervisors
Thursday heard the resolution passed by
the civic Federation Tuesday night ask.
Ing for the appointment OF a board to
report on a plan for a uniform system
of highways for the county. After some
discussion they voted that such a board
should be named to advise them as to
their authority to adopt such a general
system OF highways and streets, and also
to find and report the cost Of a compre.
hensive survey of the county for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon such system.
Subdivisions have been laid out In tho
county regardless of each other and re-
Sardless of existing roads, so that in
many places a street in one subdivision
stops within fifty feet Of the correspond.
ing street in another, the intervening los
being In private ownership. Also a street
sometimes block away from a main
thoroughfare runs alongside for half
mile without any street or even alley
connecting the two. 1t was recognized
in the consideration of the subject that
some remedy for the conditions must be
found before the county becomes closely
built up. 1t Is the purpose to find a
means to compel new subdivisions to con-
form to the general plan. as Is done in
Washington. The board wanted was
named as follows: Commonwealth's At
torney Crandal Mackey. County Surveyor
Henry Crocker. Judge Gordon Finney.
Charles T. Jesse and Frank Lyon.
Bids We're opened and contract was
awarded for grading and improving
washington street from the courthouse
to Alexandria avenue. Alexandria avenue
from Washington street to the Ballston
road, and York street from woltz's sta
ton, on the Washington Virginia electric
line. to the Fort Myer Heights school
