bases at NJ street in this city and at
the Camp Meade base.

any intimations from testimony gath
cred by a narcotic agent that some
one attached to an Army supply base
might be responsible for the sale of
the narcotics from government med

Sales stopped In 1921.
There has not been an ounce OF
narcotics sold at the N street depot

then there was only small order
sold. under government regulations.
This order included about ten bottles
of cocaine and $50 bottles of NOR
phine." Gen. Ireland further ex-
planned that records Of the New York

from that supply. The Camp Meade

CLARENDON. Va, March 14.-At
the joint meeting OF the board of
supervisors of Arlington county and
the Incorporation committee Of the
Arlington County Civic Federation.
held at the courthouse last night, 1t
was unanimously agreed that unless
the county shall vote as a unit on the
city Of the first class, the bill now
in committee of the general assem-
bly, will be withdrawn.
Amendment Necessary.
This will mean. 1t Is said. that the
bill will have to be amended. Under
its present construction the bill gives
the town Of Potomac and East Falls
Church. Incorporated areas. a separate
vote as to whether they will come
into the city or retain their charters

decided on the majority vote basis, 1t
is said, but the zone and separate vote
plan had to be resorted to to meet
the demands of Charles Henry Smith.
Alexandria-Arlin county delegate.
who presented the bill in the house.
The county officials have taken the
stand that to have the measure go
through on the separate vote plan
would be too much of risk for the
county to take. 1t would open up
the possibility of some of the county's
richest land being ceded to Fairfax.
and this. they said. should be avoided
by all means. Should the southern
zone, which takes in most Of Jefferson
district and includes the town Of Po-
tcmac and the Potomac yards, vote
negatively on joining the proposed city
II would mean a loss of approximately
$65,000 in revenue. Potomac yards
yearly tax alone, it is said, amounts
to approximately $4,000.
Ready TO Put Up Fight.
Now that the officials and the Civic
Fedora ton have gotten together on the
proposition. 1t is said, representatives
of each will go to Richmond to fight
side by side for putting through the
bill under the proposed new plan. A
Joint meeting Of the committees of the
legislature, II is said. has been set for
tomorrow evening at o'clock, at
which arguments for and against will
be allowed.
Those who will go to Richmond from
the county in support Of the measure
are: Maj. E. w. H. Ewing of Ballston

County Commissioners De- eide To Build Road From
 Jasper To 0akman
JASPER BUREAU ] THE AGE-HERALD !


 A hard surfaced road. serving the Walker county towns of Parrish Oakman and adjacent towns and vil- lages Is no longer possibility, but a certainty. The board of county commissioners has decided to start work on the proposed road just as soon as practicable and Paul s. Haley and S. R. Dillardson have been em- ployed to make a survey of the route Work will be started on the road at the Bankhead highway, and be pushed on to Oakman as soon as money can be obtained to complete it to that point. The commissioners proposed to start work on the road as far south as they can finance it, with Oakman as their ultimate goal. Great interest attaches to the con- struction of this proposed county highway from Jasper to Oakman by Parrish. The people of the southern part of the country have been urg- ing a county highway for 8 long time and delegations have conferred with the commissioners in reference to the construction of a highway to Oak man. They emphasized the urgent need of a good road in that part of the county and showed that such a road would serve a greater number of people than could be served by building a road to any other part of the county The commissioners have decided that no other road project will be undertaken in the county un- til the Jasper-to-Oakman road is completed.
