ARLINGTON COUNTY.

CLARENDON. Va, December 1s
(SpeciaD.-The citizens commission
formed recently to investigate the
proposal TO sewer sanitary zones 6
and 10 of Arlington county, was told
at a meeting last night at the court
house by Hugh Reid. chairman of it's
legal committee, that the Ewing pc
ution asking a special election on
the project had been lost, the Cox
petition which superseded it had
failed in it's object to have the court
call an election and that the entire
plan could be considered a dead
issue.
Being still of the opinion that mod
ern sewerage development for the
thickly settled section of the north
ern part OF the county was an urgent
and mediate need, the commission
indorsed a motion of K. r. Hough
authorizing the continuation of the
commission and continued efforts for
an adequate system of sewers in the
densely populated areas. Mr.. Hough
stated that up to this time there has
been no plan submitted that was
worthy of consideration. and it was
up to the people to get together, de-
eide just what they want, and then
push it to a successful conclusion.
10 was killed, it was pointed out, be-
cause of the great dissatisfaction
among the citizens over the designa-
tion of boundaries and the indefinite
data presented as to costs, material
and work.
The commission should work, it
was stated. to the end that these
mistakes will be avoided III the fu-
ture, and the engineer committee OF
the commission was instructed by
vote to. outline anew boundary, to
embrace all communities whose in
terests are substantially the same.
1t was further decided to enlarge
the membership of the commiSsion.
taking in representatives from all
communities likely to be interested in
modern sewer development. With this
object in mind the commission voted
to invite the following civic organ
izations to name three delegates to
the commission: Fort Myer Heights
Citizens Association. Lyon Park Citi-
zens' Association. Ashton Heights Cit
izens' Association. ThEifton Improve
ment League. Clarendon Citizens AS
sociation. Ballston Citizens Associa-
ton Park Lane Citizens Association.
Cherrydale Citizens Association. Au-
rora Heights Citizens Association.
Radnor Heights and Rosslyn. which

thickly settled area and are entitled

tation OH the commission.

For the balance of the month only.

All employees are directed to use
the mails and the messenger service
in every case possible.
The assistant engineer commission
er made 1t clear that the order is in
no sense intended to be a restriction
on personal liberty. but is unavoidable
if the Commissioners are to complete
the year without a shortage.
