2OO-FT. BOULEVARD
i THROUGH VIRGINIA
Will Run From Memorial
Bridge to the Tennessee
Border Line.

The Lee Highway Association now
contemplates a shaded boulevard with
2O0-foot right of way through Vir-
ginia from the Memorial Bridge over
the Potomac to the Tennessee line,
passing through, the Shenandoah
National Park.
This plan was explained yesterday
at meeting of members of the asso-
citation and persons living along the
route in the courthouse at Warren
ton, called primarily to impress upon
property owners in four counties the
advantage of donating land to be held
in trust until means are found to
finance the boulevard.
The course will follow practically
the line chosen for the Lee highway
through Arlington, Fairfax, Prince
William and Fauquier counties. but
some minor deviations may be made
to follow the line of least resistance in
securing land.
Similar meetings will be held dur
ing the week at Sperryville, New
market and towns further along the
line to explain the project to property
owners.
Plans Are Rushed.
At the same time, the meeting took
action urging Virginia to rush to COM
plSllCD the next year un-
completed stretches in the Lee high.
way route between Washington and
the Shenandoah Valley. Work is now
in progress on all but one of these
gaps, but, according to Dr. S. NJ
johnson, general director of the asSo-
citation, this will require at least 80
months at the present rate. The gaps
are from Fairfax Courthouse to Buck
land including the historic stretch
through the Bull Run battlefield,
which now can be reached only by
clay road; between Rappahannock
and Washington, Va; west of Sperry-
Vile and west of Luray Wade
Massey. Virginia state highway COM
missioner, told the association that
the State had made unusual efforts to
assist the project during the year
especially by constructing the road
over the mountain from Newmarket,
and that everything possible would be
done to close the gaps as funds be-
came available.

ing 1t over for boulevard right of way.
The increase in property values which
would come with actual work on the
boulevard, he said. would more than
compensate owners for the loss Of the
strip Of land, to say nothing of the
tourist travel which would bring busi-
ness to the farming communities. He
told of the rapid increase in property
values along new highways leading
to the great national parks of the
West.
Route Sparsely Populated.
Henry Roberts of Bristol. Va, presi.
dent of the Lee Highway Association,
said that the land through which it is
proposed to extend the boulevard is
sparsely populated, and considerable
stretches of 1t are in brushland and
pasture, which bring almost no return
to the owners. He said that it would
be excellent business foresight to deed
over the right of way, which would
increase the value of the farms in a
few years more than the natural In
crease in land values could be expect
ed to bring them up in generation.
Mr. Roberts pictured the entire
route as lined with great country es.

script houses which now cover parts
of 1t.
Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar told the asso-
citation that conditions in Arlington
County made it imperative that a
definite route be selected for the boule-
ward at once and land secured.
Further along the route, she said, it
is likely that there will not be any
great increase in property values. but
in the section adjacent to Washington
land is going up tenfold since Presi-
dent Coolidge signed the Memorial
Bridge bill.
George A. Kicker. former highway
commissioner of New York State, said
that Virginia had not yet tasted the
value of tourist traffic, which would be
certain to come with good roads.

vided the boulevard is routed through

Plans for the actual construction of
the boulevard still are nebulous, ex-
cept that the Lee highway will be it's
backbone. DR.. Johnson explained
that it is improbable that the Lee
Highway Association actually will un-
dertake the construction, but simply
secure deeds to the land so that there
will be no delays over right of way
disputes.
There Is some possibility. it was ex-

Minnesota Needs Coach.

There seems to be no idea who will

ing job at Minnesota left vacant by
Bill Spaulding. Any one who takes 1t
will inherit an unenvtable situation,
for the Gopher alumni have been hop

Spalding's retirement from the Min
nesota institution shows what may
happen to a university with a good
coach whose alumni are bowling be-
cause a championship eleven is not
developed as soon as they think 1t
should.
The writer knows of no higher type
of man than Bill Spalding, and he was

much alumni interference In athletics

The students themselves seem to

way.

in these modern foot ball days this
fact should be remembered-it is
