Through her attorneys, Ball and
Douglas, Miss Caroline Bean, of
| London. England has conveyed
tract of land, containing about two
acres adjoining the FIT. Myer
Heights School, to the school board
of Arlington county. The consider
| alton was $500. According 70
Fletcher Kemp. superintendent Of
schools, the land was purchased
for the purpose of making addi-
tions to the present school build
/, ing and to provide additional play
grounds.
Plans for the, improvements are
now being made said Professor

Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, in the
circuit court of Alexandria, Judge

name day for the special cleo
ton on a bond issue for roads in
Arlington District.
The petition will be presented to
Judge Brent by Attorney John s.
Barbour, Of Fairfax and Washing
ton. while Attorney Lawrence
Douglas will submit a petition pro-
testing the calling of an election
at this time.
With the opinion Of Common.
wealth's Attorney William G.. Cloth,
that all persons who were qualified
to vote at the last November cleo
ton will be entitled to vote in the
special election, he has blocked the
main point which Attorney Douglas
admitted he would raise. Attorney
Douglas said today that he is still
not satisfied on the question in
face of the fact that the Virginia
code, section SO, clearly states who
can and. who cannot vote.
Indications are that The campaign
will be a lively one as the voters
seem to be somewhat divided. some
want sewers and water while
large number are fighting for roads.
