pressed in a letter to promoters OF the

member of the Virginia Park and
Planning Commission and chairman
Of the legislative committee Of the
Arlington County Civic Federation. -.
without going into the merits OF
the controversy over the possibility
Mr.. Campbell stated today, "it Is un-
doubtedly a fact that the board of
supervisors had no right to grant
such a permit under the conditions
existing"

ton Of the slaughter house.
Revocation Is Asked.
A petition requesting the board of
supervisors to revoke the permit at
its next meeting also is being circu-
lated, it has been learned.
Mr.. Campbell's contention Is that the
board of supervisors, after apparently
first passing an ordinance making 1t
compulsory for applicants to adyer-
tise their intentions two weeks in ad-
vance, turned around at the same
meeting and granted permit to the
n. Auth company in direct violations
of this provision.

the projected plant, of applying to the

BY Objectionable features. the regu-

odors or the discharge of waste ma

The Auth interests declare that their
abbatoir is to be of the latest type,
costing $500 900, and that 1t will have
no undesirable aspects. The plant is
to be built on Columbia pike near its
intersection with the lower Alexandria
