Arlington County News

CLARENDON, Va, July Z (Special
Agitation, which arose between sew
eral civic organizations of the county
and the board of supervisors when the
latter agreed TO furnish free water TO
an institution. was dispelled yesterday
when the board at meeting at the
courthouse, rescinded its action and
voted that no person, firm. corporation
Or school" should escape payment for
water used. The county engineer was
instructed to render water bills at the
established rates 70 all consumers.
The civic organizations did not ques-
ton the right Of the institution TO free
water, but they did object TO the amount
being charged to the water fund, which
Is supported solely by residents subscrib-
ing TO the service. They argued that ii
the board felt that the schools. for in
stance. public or private. we're entitled
TO the water without charge, money
from other funds should be used In pay
ment so that all citizens might bear an
equal share Of the cost. In case OF pub
lie schools IL was suggested that the
school board include the amount for
water IN It's annual school budget. In
case Of private school 1t was sug-
gested that payment be made from the
county fund.
