ZONE BODY FAVORS !
ICE PLANT PERMIT
Arlington Concern, However,
Required to Use Brick
Instead of Iron.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
stan Correspondent of The star.

ARLINGTON. Va, April 16.--Approv.
ing the location, but objecting to the
exterior construction, as shown by the
plans, Arlington County Zoning Com
mission last night decided to recon-
mend to the board Of county super
yisors that they grant permit for the
erection Of an ice plant at Bancroft by
the Arlington County Ice d Fuel Co.
providing the company agrees to make
certain changes.
The provisions laid down by the COM
mission are:
That the plans be changed to prevent
the loading platform from extending
beyond their property line; that the
outside Of the building covered by cor
rugated iron, using brick instead, and
that the architecture be made to con-
form with the residential section In
which the new building Is to be located.
Onicial Is Heard.
The decision of the commission was
made In executive session after l.. C.
Macpherson, the builder, and M. l..
Jackson, an official of the company,
appeared in the open session and said
that they were willing to remove the
section Of the building that extends
upon the right Of way Of Columbia
pike The foundation has already been
placed, and 1t will be necessary to
shorten the building at one end in
order to conform.
When questioned as to their willing
ness to move the building back for a
sufficient distance to permit loading to
be done on their own property, and not
on the State right-of- way, both Mac
Pherson and Jackson said that would
be impossible because of a waterpower
wheel that Is to be constructed in the
rear. Both made it plain that they
intended for the building to extend to
the right-of-way.
The decision of the Zoning Commits
sion leaves the officials of the plant in
quandary, since the proper permit
for construction Of the plant has not
been issued and it Is possible for the
to refuse permit. leaving the building
machinery due to arrive any day.
The commission also considered a
complaint about q garage that is said
to be In operation In Fort Myer Heights.
c. L. Kinnier, county engineer, said
that an application for q permit for
the garage had once been refused by
the supervisors and that it was being
operated without permit. The matter
Is now in the hands of the supervisors
and commemorative attorney, he said
1t was stated by the commission that
they intend to make an investigation
of barbecue stand that has been OPEN
ed on the Lee Highway near Park Lane.
The meat rooster, an open affair, is
believed too near the highway, Chair
man Fred A. Gosnell said, and NAV
cause trafic congestion by cars parking

COURTHOUSE SITE
INQUIRIES PLANNED
Montgomery Commissioners
May Pass Motion Asking
Sale Figures.
By WILLIAM J.. WHEATLEY.
stan Correspondent Of The star.

ROCKVILLE. Md, April l6.--An-
other step toward the purchase of the
square west of the courthouse for ac-
curing larger site for the proposed
new county seat structure, will be taken
this afternoon, 1t is stated, when the
county commissioners pass motion to
have inquiries made of the owners Of
the property there to determine what
figure they win ask the county for the
sale Of their property.
BY this move the commissioners will
be able to determine whether anyone
owning property in the square is dis
posed to block the courthouse project
by refusing to dispose of their holdings.
The proposal to purchase is made nee
esSary by the failure of the Legislature
to pass an amendment to the present
Condemnation law, which would have
authorized the county commissioners to
condemn land for any public use. Their
authority now is confined to condemna-
tons for street and road opening
widening and improvement.
Possibility Of Delay.
Should any Of the property holders
refuse to name a figure or state that
they are not disposed to sell, then. it
was said, the matter will have to await
until the next session Of the legisla-
ture. when another effort will be made
to put through condemnation law.
But this will not prevent acquisition Of
the other property, and 1t is understood
the officials plan to go ahead with the
money made available in two bond is
sues passed at the last session Of the
general assembly and with as much Of
the emergency funds as are necessary
to carry the project to conclusion.
The additional bond issue for the
courthouse project allowed $4,000 for
the purchase of a triangle OF the square
west Of the courthouse, and for moving
court street westward. Another bond
issue provided $4,000 for the widening
Of Montgomery avenue, the street which,
carries through this town the heavy
east and west traffic. West of Court
street it is very narrow and seriously
checks trafic. This money is to be used
for the purchase of Is additional feet.
This project will make it necessary to
take part of the Farmers Banking 81
Trust Co, and another building on the
front. AS these buildings are right on
the line, 1t will be necessary, 1t was
pointed out, to move the front walls
back, which will be an expensive re-
modelling procedure, damages for which
will have to be paid for out of the
$4,000. 1t was added that this is near
" half OF the total bond issue of $175.-
900 sought for the purchase Of the en-
tire block.
1t may be several weeks before all OF
the information is available from the
property holders; and If they are found
to be reasonable. it was said. prompt
steps will be taken to begin acquisition
of the land, so that the project may be
inaugurated.
Offlcials whose ofices are in the
courthouse are anxious to see the prof.

FUR DEALER INDICTED
IN "WEASEL PLOT"
Collecting Bounty on % Pelts OBJ
tanned Outside County Charged
Against Staunton, Va, Man.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HARRISONBURG, Va. April I6.--A
third person was implicated in Rock
ingham County's famed weasel plot"
Yesterday when Frank r. Stump, Staun-
ton fur dealer, was indicted on q petty
larceny count. Stump is charged with
having collected the 81 bounty on each
Of % weasel pelts obtained from out
side Of Rockingham County.
Two convictions already have been
obtained In the weasel plot" which
cost Rockingham County more than
5000 on as many weasel pelts presented
for bounties last December and January.
Welty Minnick of Maryland drew a six
month State road sentence and Lester
Webster was fined 500.
commemorative Attorney D. Wam-
pier Earman contends that the weasel
pelts were shipped in from outside Rock
ingham County, the bounty collected
on the scalps and the pelts returned to
the original owners. State witnesses at
the two trials declared that 1t was rare
Tor a trapper to catch more than q half
dozen weasels in the county in a season.

willing to leave the means to be de-
termined later when they have sue
ceeded in stirring I'D sentiment in its
favor. They are not particular, they
say, whether Congress passes a resolu-
ton requesting the Virginia Legislature
to. return the county, or whether it is
effected by a resort to the courts.
Whatever plan is workable is the one
which they intend to support.
Mr.. Eacho and others have been
quietly working to prepare the way for
definite movement of this kind for
several months. They have found that
majority of those in the county who
favor 1t are women, and they believe
this is because the women of each
household are more closely in touch
with actual living conditions in the
county than the men,. because they
spend more time in their homes.
Ever since Arlington County--or
Alexandria County, as it was then
called--was retroceded to Virginia by
Congress in 1916, there has been
periodical agitation in favor Of its
return to the Federal Government.

ARLINGTON CLUB TO FIGHT
FOR RETURN TO DISTRICT
R. [. Eacho to Quit County
Federation in Forming
Body.
Greater Benefits in Former
Status, Ashley Heights
Man Says.
ny STAR Reporter Of mn. Scar.


ARLINGTON. Va, April ia
Back to the District Club Of Airing
ton County, men and women in favor
of the return Of that county to its
former status as a part of the District
Of Columbia, will be organized next
month, If plans being made by Richard
l.. Eacho, member Of the Ashley Heights
Citizens Association, are carried out
Mr.. Eacho expressed confidence today
that the club will be launched with q
large membership.
There are great many residents OF
Arlington County" said Mr.. Eacho
who have weighed the advantages OF
belonging to the District against the
slight advantage of the suffrage in Vir-
GINA and have become convinced that
the best interests Of all who live in tbs
county will be served by its return to
the District
Mr.. Eacho said that he intends to re-
sign his positions as delegate from the
Ashley Heights Citizens Association to
the Arlington County Civic Federation
and to the Arlington District Council
and devote his entire time to the move
ment to make the county once more a
part of the District.
Results Are Expected.
1T feel that if I give as much time to
this movement as have given to civic
work in the past few years great deal
can be accomplished" he said. 1T is
only the interests of the people of Ar
lington County which I am working
for. figure that it costs me from 1915
to $400 more to live in Virginia than 1t
would cost me for the same conyen-
fences in the District. A great many
men and women in the county agree
with me and ore ready to join the pro-
posed organization"
When the club Is organized 1t Is
planned that it shall devote its energies
to legitimate propaganda in favor OF
the reconstruction of the District along
its original lines, at least so far as Ar
lington County is concerned. Members
of the House and Senate will be inter-
viewed and supplied with literature on
the subject, and an attempt will be
made to interest them in the project.
In figuring the increased cost of liv-
ing in Arlington County, as compared
with the cost in the District, Mr. Eacho
said that the toll system makes tele-
phone rates amount to three or four
times as much; that most Of the county
is charged a great deal more for cleo
trio light and power, gas is more costly,
water rent in the aggregate much high
er. and merchant licenses greater.
I'VE have the vote and We pay cur
taxes" said Mr. Eacho, but We have
no adequate sewage system, streets nor
sidewalks. The money for roads is
wasted. Our schools may have to
shorten their session for want Of money.
Our teachers are underpaid, as COM
pared with those in the District, and
they leave whenever they get chance"
Interest to Be Reused.
Those working with Mr.. Eacho have
no definite scheme in mind for carry
ing out their purpose. except to arouse
the people of the county and interest

ect go forward promptly because of the
crowded and unsatisfactory conditions
under which they have to work to carry
on the increasing county business.
Some Of the employees are forced to
work in the cellar Of the building, which
was never designed for Offices and is
most unsatisfactory.
There is not even a hearing room in
which the county commissioners can
conduct hearings on various matters,
and such proceedings are on the in
crease because of the fact that the
county Is fast assuming an urban as
pect. The county commissioners room
is very small, and after the. commission
ers are in, there Is not room for more
than a dozen or so spectators, who are
forced to stand near q rail which sep

buildings In Bethesda and Silver Spring
have large hearing rooms for just such
purposes, but 1t is not always prac-
ticable to transfer these hearings from
the county seat to the suburban district
