ALEXANDRIA COUNTY.

The Washington-Virginia Railway
as far as Clarendon is concerned. was
the principal topic discussed at the
semi-monthly meeting of the Claren-
don Citizens Association last night at
the Dixie Theater Frank Lyon of
Lyonhurst, long a resident of the
county and a well known railroad rate
attorney. who has been selected to
represent the association at the hear
ings before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, related some of his ex-
periences in handling cases of this
character and gave suggestions which
were helpful to the association in de-
termining it's line of action in the
matter.
The company's application proposes
a new fare of IS cents one way to
Clarendon and a round trip costing 80
cents. A communication rate is also Of
fered which figures down to fraction
of a cent cheaper per trip than the
present fare. The question arose as
to which proposition. the straight-fare
or commutation, would be preferable
to the citizens of Clarendon if any
change in the rate is to be made.
Addresses favoring a straight fare
rather than the commutation plan
were made by A. p. Payne, J. Thomas
Manning, Rev. A. E Smith, Il. L. Col
ley, c. r. Taylor and Mr., Lyon, all of
whom contended that it would be
unfair to prospective home seekers
who come out to look over the ground
and other visitors if they were charg-
ed more for the trip than the resi-
dents The condition probably would
exist if the commutatlon scheme Is
adopted it was asserted.
When put to vote on motin: OF A:
P. Payne is was unanimously decided
that the attorney be instructed to
wage a tight for the lowest possible
straight fare il it is found that addi-
tional revenue is needed by the COM
papy to maintain first-class service.
In response to a letter of Chairman
Wilbert of the soldiers welcome home
committee asking for financial aid for
the affair, it was voted on motion OF
Thomas Manning, who has charge of
the auto parade in connection with
the celebration, urged all automobile
owner members of the association TO
decorate their machines and join in
the procession, which starts at II am.
Bey A 70. Smith, who leaves Claren
don for Illinois about September 10,
made a short farewell address. He
eynressed deep regret at leaving the
community and its good fellowship.
II was announced last night that the
association will on Monday have TO
part with another Of it's most earnest
workers when c. l.. Taylor, vice
president, leaves for Philadelphia.
Mr.. Taylor has accepted the position
as head of the property and supplies
accounts branch of the division of
finance Of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. Mr.. Taylor in short ad-
dress expressed his great regard for
his associates and co-workers and re-
erets at parting company, but said
that he hoped at some later date to
return and again put his shoulder to
the wheel to work and boost for

vious years, and the comparative cost

with reference to cost OF gas oil,
the company has been able to make
contract for supply of oil which will
last until about February. 1920, at
average prices slightly under last

averaging 6.75 cents per gallon, and
the actual cost for seven months and
estimated for five months is 6.52 cents
per gallon.
From a careful consideration of the
attached exhibits it will be seen that
there is nothing in way of mate
rial reduction in expense of operation
to justify reduction in the present
price of gas. In fact. had rate of
81 per thousand been fixed by the
commission, effective with the month
of April. 1919, it is estimated that the
net earnings of both companies for
the year 1919 will amount to S676,35S,

ROCKVILLE. Md. August 3o.-Rac-
ing at the fair yesterday. the closing
day. was the most interesting of the
week. Instead of the harness events
being won in straight heats. as is SO
frequently the case here. five heats
were necessary to decide each OF the
two races on the program.
The PIT trot was captured by Peter
J. H.. belonging to Javins Bros. of
Washington and this county He lost
the first two heats. but finally got
going right and took the next three
heats although Bond Issue pushed
him hard all the way each time.
After narrowly missing being dis
tanced in the first two heats of the
80 trot, Tipperary, owned by A. r.
Prescott of Rockville. found himself
and easily finished in front in the next
three heats. After Tipperary took the
third heat drivers of the other horses
filed protest with the judges, claim
ing that inasmuch as he had to be
run under the whip for 200 yards or
more to keep from being distanced IN
the second heat he should not have
been allowed to start. The protest was
overruled. Tipperary proved himself
to be a clever performer and capable
of negotiating the mile in much faster
time than was necessary to win the
event captured by him yesterday
The running race was a consolation
event at half mile for horses not nm
ishing better than third at the meet
ing. 1t was won handily by the
Washington horse Fefs.
