COUNTY INDUSTRIAL.
CROWTH|SFAvORED.
Clarendon Citizens See No
Present Objection to Build
ing of Abattoir.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CLARENDON, Va, March dis
cussion OF the proposal of the n.
Auth Provision Co. to establish an
abbatoir in Arlington County at
meeting of the Clarendon Citizens
Association last night indicated that
the organization favors industrial de-
velopment of an orderly variety and
will not oppose the abbatoir plans if
they come within that category.
Following remarks by several mem
bers that they have been assured that
the proposed plant will not be OBJ
1ectionable in any way and that moth
ing should he done to discourage
proper industrial development, the
meeting adopted the following reso-
luton:
Resolved. That the Clarendon Citi-
Zers Association can see no present
objection to the proposed establish
ment of an abbatoir by the N. Auth
Provision Co. in Arlington County,
providing suitable sanitary precau
tons are taken to prevent any OBJ
noxious odors or noises or other nui-
sances."
Committee Is Authorized.
Feeling that provision should be
made to assure simultaneous installa-
ton of fire hydrants and the main
trunk lines in establishment of the
county's proposed water system, the
meeting authorized the appointment
OF committee to ascertain what plan.
If any, the Board of Supervisors has
for financing the hydrants. 1t was
pointed out that the matter of the
hydrants Is tax proposition and can
not come out of the bond money.
The meeting went on record approx
ing the proposed levy Of 10 cents
on the 800 assessed valuations for
fire protection. This action was fol-
lowed by the adoption of a motion
insisting that the funds raised be ex-
pended in the district in which 1t Is
raised.
Distribution Is Unequal.
1t was said that the proposed levy
would result in about $23 900 being
raised for fire protection-$12 900 in
Arlington District S., 900 in jefferson
district and $4,000 in Washington dis
trict-and it would be unfair to the
former to have this money placed in
country fund and distributed equal
ly among the district The motion di-
reefs the delegates to the Arlington
County Civic Federation and the Ar
lington District Council of Citizens
Associations to urge upon those
bodies action looking to the creation
of separate funds.
Declaring that the season for clean
ing up about the home premises and
the burning of brush and debris Is
approaching, Fire Chief Eaton urged
upon the citizens the need of extreme
care in making outdoor fires. Brush
fires in the past. he said, have given
the voluteer fire companies consid
cradle trouble and this year they are
going to make an effort to punish per-
sons responsible for the burning of
large areas that endanger property.

Predicts Possible Situation Where

" the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March Former
Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois,
writing in the March issue of the
magazine System, predicts the posi-
bility of a situation in which the
Nations farmers will produce only
enough for their own needs and allow
the rest of the country to starve
Calling attention to the present dis
parity between prices of farm products
and production costs, Mr.. Lowden
states the problem most needing solu-
ton Is the disposition of surplus farm
products. These are necessary as in.
surance against future crop failures
and their cost should be borne by the
whole community, he believes.
He suggests Federal farm boar.
