Special Dispatch to The Star.
FALLS CHURCH, Va, August T.
AT the monthly meeting Of the Falls
Church Citizens Association held
Monday evening a movement was in
itiated seeking to obtain a water sup
ply for that part of the town which
lies in Fairfax County. The Airing
ton County part of the town will have
water when the Arlington County
sanitary district system is completed
next year. A committee. headed by
President Anderson, was appointed to
appear before the town council next
Monday evening and ask the co-opera-
ton of that body.
Arlington County is to have water
under authority of a special act of
Congress, which permits it to connect
up with the mains of the Washing
ton water system. Before the Fair
fax County part of Falls Church can
connect up with the Arlington County
system authority would have to be OBJ
tanned from Congress, and working
financial Arrangement effected with
Arlington County. A necessary pre-
liminary step, it is believed. is to can
vaSS Falls Church property owners to
see how many will sign up as water
users.
The association also adopted reso-
luton asking the mayor and town
council to create a citizens advisory
committee, to consist of representa-
tives of the fire department, civic
bodies and citizens at large. to confer
with the town officials in the matter
of street improvement. fire protection,
water supply. sidewalks, street light
ing and other matters involved in
program of town betterment. The
resolution expressed belief that it
would be desirable to hold public hear
ings at which all citizens would be
asked to present their views.
Civic Cooperation Move.
AS a step toward closer cooperation
in civic matters, j. f.. Scott, repre-
senting the Great Falls Street Citi-
zens' Association. and w. p. Doyle.
representing the Columbia Street Citi-
zens' Association. were elected mem
hers of the executive committee of the
Fails Church Citizens Association,
and the volunteer fire department
was requested to designate a member
who will be elected a third member
Of the executive committee. 1t was
made plain that the movement looks
toward cooperation and not toward
consolidation, as the local organiza-
tons have functions which could not
trail body.
