II is drowned by the authoritative

In particular we are the subju-

publicity campaign that will put
Arlington county on the map and
over the top as one Of the hvest
communities in this section OF the
country IL planned by President
Ahalt. OF the Arlington County
Civic Federation, which was re.
vived last night after being merged
with the County Chamber OF Com
merce for the past eighteen months.
President Ahalt declared II was
his intention to interest every man,
the possibilities and natural re-
sources here and have them spread
the news broadcast to the world.
"I believe the county supervisors
could be induced to appropriate an
advertising fund, which will put US
before the public as one of the
hvest, wealthiest counties in this
section" he declared.
Records in various county seats
in Maryland and Virginia show that
more building is going on in this
county than in any of the nearby
sections of Washington.
Needs More Capital.
I'VE must try to interest Wash
ington capital In our building de-
velopment to a greater extent. One
Of the greatest drawbacks along
this line has been the slow manner
in which deeds have been recorded
here in the past. Most Of that has
been eliminated now, however, and
capitalists are more ready to ad-
vance money for expansion prof.
ects. Washington capitalists have
generally been a little apprefensive
regarding the advancement OF
money to Virginia builders. The
chief reason for that is because the
laws regarding the loaning of
money have not been made clear.
One OF the. first things we should
do is to acquaint capitalists with
our methods of procedure by an in
tensive publicity drive.
Land in Arlington county has
doubled and trebled in the last five
years and the result has been a
tremendous building boom. The
surface of possibilities has only
been scratched. however. and I am
that they will receive ten times the
vertising in the course f a year
that they will come forward gladly
IN support Of the plan"
Following discussion Of The
project It was decided to turn the
matter over to the publicity COM
mittee and to adopt definite plans
for the campaign at the next meet
ing.
The building and maintenance Of
adequate sewerage systems for the
county also was discussed. Prast
dent Taylor. Of the Clarendon Citi-
zens' Association, cautioned COM
munities already planning systems
to go slow and so construct their
lines that they could couple up
with the entire county system
which was sure to go through in
the near future.

An echo of the recent burglary
and hold-up scare in the county
was heard when a resolution con-
