Residents Of Alexandria
County to Petition
Legislature
CIVIC FEDERATION ACT
Many Names Suggested mong Them
Being Geo. Washington, Arlington,
Pocahontas and Alcova.

At a meeting Of the Executive
Committee Of the Alexandria County
Civic Federation held Monday even
ing, September %, 1919, the publ
cation Of the following letter by the
papers was authorized.
To the People of Alexandria County.
At recent meeting Of the Civic
Federation, it was proposed that the
name Of Alexandria County be
changed. The reasons urged in sup
port Of the change are that the
County is without individuality;
that it is constantly confused with
the City of Alexandria in the minds
of outsiders; that it is so overshad-
owed by said City that most people
out of the County think that Alex
andria is the County seat; that let
tiers of Importance intended for
County Officials are frequently de-
liyered to Officials of the City; and
that when anything creditable
transpires IN the County, the City
of Alexandria gets the credit and
vice versa.
If Mr.. Jesse represents the COM
munity at the next session of the
Legislature, he will probably be
urged by these favoring a Change of
name to introduce bill to that end
and he has in6ieated his desire to be
fully informed as to the sentiment
of the people in connection with
the question.
The Executive Committee of the
Civic Federation was therefore in
structed to present the question to
the people of the County and to as
certain as far as possible public
sentiment,, ~.
Every ciitizzeRsSsiis. therefore, urged
to express his convictions upon the
question in aletter addressed to
Charles T. Jesse, Alexandria County
Court House, Clarendon, Va, If
you are for the change write to Mr..
Jesse and tell him so, giving your
reasons. together with, choice of
name. If s;;you are against the
change write him and tell him 81
and give your reasons. What is
wanted is to ascertain the wishes of
the people, for their wishes will be
entirely controlling. Some of the
substitute names that have been
Suggested are George Washington,
Arlington, Pocahontas, and Alcova,
the latter composed of the first two
letters of "Alexandria," County"
and the abbreviation' "VA" for the
State.
Respectfully Frank G. Camp
