already been carried on with
Rosslyn property holders for the
purchase Of q large tract OF land at

bridge. II II the plan Of those inter.
ssted to have q large car barn and
repair shop there. At one time the
negotiations for the Rosslyn prop
erty reached such q stage that
options on some OF the property were
taken. These were not exercised,
however. because Of the belief OF
those berind the move that realty
prices would recede within the next
