Special Dispatch to The star.
CLARENDON. Va. August 22.-
Many women tearfully pleaded with
the Greater Arlington County COM
mittee of the County Civic Fedora
ton. meeting at the courthouse last
night. to aid them in preventing es-
tablishment of the county property
yard near Murphy Station.
A good many men were present,
but the women predominated and told
of possible hardships the yard would
cause them and their families One
declared the only recreation her hus-
band. who was invalided by the war,
could enjoy was provided by the out
look from the front porch of their
home. Location of trucks, scavenger
tanks and other equipment would
mar that view, she said.
Frank Lyon expressed the opinion
that no more inappropriate place
could have been selected for the yard
and that the section should be devel-
oped as a park. He said the site lies
between Clarendon and the terminus
of the two great bridges, and in a
section that will be linked with great
boulevard and park development.
After several members had ex-
pressed sympathy with the residents
of Murphy Station and the Board of
Supervisors. who have been petition
ed by virtually every civic organiza- :
ton In the county to remove the
yards, the meeting voted to ask the
board to suspend clearing up the
courthouse grounds until 1t has had
| time to investigate. An inspection OF
the property will be made by the en-
tire committee, which will assemble
at courthouse Station at 5 O'Clock
this evening.
