IN STREET NAMING
Uniform Numbering System
Can Then Be Set, Says
County Engineer.
BY LESTER n. INSKEEP.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, May 28.-zoning Is to
eliminate duplication in the names OF
streets and will set uniform number
ing system for houses, Allen j. Saville,
coming engineer, told the commission al
their meeting last night.
1t will be the duty of the commission
to rename dozens of existing streets ana
10 prevent a recurrence of this difficulty
in future development. Saville SAID. "A
study of the maps in the engineer S
office reveals that there are as many as
five and six streets having the same
name. Under the remaining plan the
first street to have been named will
retain the original title and the zonlng
commission will name the others.
Street Naming Difficult.
This is an even greater problem in
Arlington County than in city. Sa-
Vile said, since the county Is made up
of many separate villages and subdlVl-
sions, each having their own streets ano
numbering system. The assistance OF
the county post Offices will be enilsteo
in this work, it was said.
Opposition having developed to the
erection of an ice house at Columbia
pike and Fox road by Walter SealocK
and the warm weather making an I'M
mediate decision necessary. the COM
mission arranged for public hearing
on the project in the courthouse at .
O'Clock this afternoon. This will be the
first public hearing held by the COM
mission.
Ice House Discussed.
Through his attorney, State Senator
Frank l.. Ball, Sealock claims that
half of the block in which he proposes
to erect the ice house Is already buSl-
ness and that the entire block is GER
tain to be so zoned. There are two res
licences between the location OF the
proposed ice box and the nearest busl-
ness establishment.
Appearing at last nights meeting
william p. Ames insisted that the com
mission take immediate action on his
request for a permit to construct a spur
track along Lambden Terrace, IN
Rosslvn. Ames made application for the
permit more than a month ago ano
said last night that he felt he was en-
titled either to the permit or a re-
fusal.
Offers Written Contract.
He offered to have written into the
contract a clause requiring the removal
of the track within 80 days II IL were
ever declared q public nuisance. The
commission set Monday for a hearing
on this question, announcing 1t they
would render its decision at that time
In passing upon application for the
erection of six dwellings, the commits
sion went on record as favoring set
back of not less than 20 feet on streets
where there have been no houses con-
structed. Where setback has beer
established through other buildings new
houses should conform, they believe.

he found the hurt had not healed and
he was sent to his home in Ohio for

Back with the club now for more than
week, Jones is unable to do any
throwing, and the pain in his side still
is so intense that he fears TO exercise
his pitching arm even mildly.
The only work that Jones is doing al

general physical trim that he may gel

much improvement at bat; he has hit

ments in which he has been at the head

No fan is a more enthusiastic rootel

end of the bench to the other in his ex-

and when they are on the offensive he's
about the noisiest of the lot watching
the battling from the dugout steps
Several times Hayes has been warned
by the umpireS to soften his roofing for
the club, but, as he never Is offensive
in his exhortations, nothing more than
warnings come his way.
And Hayes always is ready to ster
into the fray when needed, too. Minor
hurts make no alibis for him. His is a
splendid spirit that has him giving TO his
club everything he has, whether ne ls lr
the struggle or merely watching 1t. Hes

moments, but his play was too un-
certain to satisfy. And he failed tC

Gillis still has chance to make good
Boston officials believe, and the club
will hang on to him while this chance
exists.
Gerber has subbed brilliantly at both
