With the exception of a small
number of property owners IN Vlr-
ginia Highlands, of whom Mr.. A. B.
Davis, whose letter appears IN your
issue of March 18th, is one, am
confident that practically every one.
both in Arlington County and IN
Alexandria City, wish the Brick
Yards in the County to continue
their operation.
Every house in Virginia Highlands
was built at least fifty years after
the Brick Yards had been establish
ed and in operation in practically the
same locality where they are now,
but in spite of this fact these few
people at Virginia Highlands seem to
think that this important industry
should now be discontinued, and
they have sought successfully in
every way to force them to cease
operation.
The Board of Supervisors of Ar
lington County, at the request OF
these property owners at Virginia
Highlands, has passed numerous or
dinances to provide for proper
drainage, for the protection of chill
dren, and for the protection Of the
County roads, to the passage OF all
of which ordinances the Brick Cons
panies willingly consented.
The Board of Supervisors, after a
full hearing of all parties in inter-
est, declined to pass an ordinance
somewhat similar to the bill recently
passed by the General Assembly of
Virginia, which bill Mr. Davis and his
associates we'll know would never
have passed, if any opportunity had
been given those interested in the
Brick Yards to be heard.
This Bill was passed, however,
very quietly and as local measure,
applicable only to Arlington County
and not to the State at large, and
the Brick Companies were in ignor-
ance of its passage until the day be-
fore the Legislature adjourned.
1t was vicious piece of legisla-
ton and it was properly vetoed by
the Governor.
The only country in the world in
which it would probably have been
approved is Russia, to which country
Mr.. Davis so kindly hopes that
may soon have to 60.
In his letter he seeks to array the
masses against the classes by refer
ring to the palatial home of some
one who he says owns the Washing,
ton Brick & Terra Gotta Company
but he seems to have lost sight OF
the humble homes in Arlington
County and in Alexandria City OF
the many laborers who would have
lost their means Of livelihood haC
! this Bill had become law.
Respectfully submitted,
Gardner L. Boothe

BEAUTY AND BRICKYARDS

Some time ago we had occasion
to call attention to the rnsightly,
mosquito breeding excavations
that despoil the landscape in the
neighborhood of our pretty Sub
urb, Virginia Highlands. 1t now
seems that bill passed by the re-
cent legislature has been vetoed by
the Governor. We feel sure that
Governor Trinkle heard only one
side OF the story, or he would
have trusted to the wisdom Of the
legislature in this particular in
stance. Beauty and brick yards
do,not dwell together. And while
we might, ON occasion, surrender
beauty to utility, yet in the case
under consideration we have an
added argument in the way OF
public health. Oftentilnes brick
pits become filled with stagnant
water and a prolific breeding-place
OF the Anopheles family, and thus
malarialize a whole community.
We hope for better luck next
time for our little neighbor to the
north!

TELLING COOPERATION

Cooperation with existing social
welfare organizations is exemplifled
