against the motion.
Hedrick's plan was approved by the
leaders of both projects who were pres

This action means that the county

The Lee boulevard proceeds from the

swings southwark to the vicinity of the
Arlington towers, where 1t again turns
westward, passing to the south of Lyon

Henderson tract and passing between
Bon Air and Glencarlyn to the county
line near Fort Buffalo.
The straightforward bridge road makes
a junction with the Lee boulevard at
Porter Woods and proceeds in a direct
westerly course through Clarendon and
Ballston to Falls Church. The precise
selection of the route for the direct
road WILL by the Hedrick motion, be
left to the State Highway Commission.
It is estimated the county will be re-

CLARENDON, Va. July l7.-~Ef-
fective Friday, the house tapping charge
of $40 for water connections will be
payable in cash, the Board of Super
visorS. upon the recommendation of
Asa Z. Phillips, county water engineer,
rescinded the former instalment plan
at its meeting last night.
The action taken as explained by
Phillips was due to the fact that the
working capital which has been used
in the laying of lateral lines is fast be-
coming depleted and the change was
necessary to avoid any further delay IN
the laying of laterals.
With citizens In many sections of the
county pleading for water the board
instructed the water engineer. with the
county engineer and the common
wealthS attorney. to formulate plans to
be used in the extension of the present
water system.
