LEE HIGHWAY LINK
TO BE UNFINISHED
Again Fail to Agree on Re-
movaI of Tracks at
CherrydaIe.
BY 4 Stan Correspondent Of The Star.

BY 4 Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, August 9-Due to the
failure of officials of the State and
county to reach an agreement with the
officials of the Washington e. Old
Dominion Railway Co. regarding the
moving of the tracks of the railway
company through Cherrydale, the re-
construction of the Lee Highway will
start Monday from Military road and
proceed toward Halls Hill, leaving an
unfinished portion along the railway
tracks and through Cherrydales bust
ness center it was said today by Robert
I. Mount, resident State highway en-
gineer.
At the present time the company's
eastbound track is on the State right
of-way, it is claimed, and until moved
must block the construction of the
highway at that point. Many confer
ences have failed to solve the problem.
Water Main Should Be Moved.
According to S. G. Bumgarner,
counsel for the railway company, there
main on t. CoLipany's right-of-way
that must be moved before the railway
company can move. its trolley poles.
Explaining that there is a contract
between the board of county super
visors and the railway company to the
effect that the countys will move the
water line at the request of the COM
pany, Bumgarner explained that he has
written to the supervisors and will take
no action until he hears from them.
Action Likely of Until August Is.
If the railway company is going to
await the action of the board of super
visors, it was said today, there will
likely be no action until after August
Is. the date of the next regular meet
ing of the board.
The tracks in question are those ex-
tending from the Peoples State Bank
to the point where the railway turns
from the State right-of-way.
The following detours to be used dur
ing the construction work have been
announced by Mount:
For traffic from Washington. from
the Key Bridge out the Lee Highway
to Spout Run Bridge, south over the
county gravel road to Garrison road,
right on Garrison road and thence to
Falls Church over the Memorial High
way. The same detour will be used for
traffic toward Washington and will
interfere but little with traffic.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, August
9.-Claiming that an Injunction against
the mayor and council OF, Mount Rainier

and electrical inspectors of that town,

terday filed an answer and demurrer to
the bill OF complaint against the town
officials docketed in the Circuit Court at
Marlboro. July 20, by the proprietors of
newly-opened lunchroom at Thirty
fourth street and Rhode Island avenue
northeast.
In his answer, which denies all of
the allegations Of the proprietor's bill of
complaint, and also characterizes that
document as mostly adverbial phrases, "
the corporation counsel declares that
inasmuch as an injunction against the
town council would not affect the in
Spectors 1t would not afford the relief
prayed for.
Denies Prosecution Malicious.
The answer states that a building per-
NIT was not arbitrarily refused by the
town council and denies that the pros
ecution OF William S. Keys, Prince
Georges County delegate in the State
Legislature, was malicious It calls
the entire Keys controversy as irreva-
lent and prays that 1t be stricken from
the bill, which asks for a rule to show
cause why the mayor and council should
not be restrained from disconnecting
electric service to the new lunchroom
and be compelled by mandatory injunc-
ton to approve the electrical installa-
ton and issue proper certificate to the
Potomac Electric Power Co.
Other. matters denied in the answer
Of the town officials are that the cleo
trical inspector has inspected and APP
proved the work done and that a bust
ness license was withheld. In regard to
the latter matter, it Is explained, that
the town clerk held the application for
license until the next regular meeting
of the town council after it was re-
ceived, which was subsequent to the
filing of the bill Of complaint, and
points out that the license was issued
at that meeting.

dreds Of miles away, are interested
in the Michigan survey work that
may result in putting idle land to
, work.
Under the Michigan law. land
that has been tax delinquent for
five consecutive years is taken owe
by the state. Michigan now has
100000 acres Of such land and 10
far has been able to use less than
half Of it for parks or other recre-
ational purposes.
1t has taken seven years to sur
vey ten counties and MI. Schoen-
mann estimates that it will prooa-
bly, take Is or 20 years to complete
this work in other counties where
similarly urgent land problems ex-
ist. But in the meantime when the
survey is finished in a county. the
workers call a meeting of the lead
ing business men and those inter
ested in coming or city planning,
and lay their findings before them.
IL Is conceivable to suppose that
If many OF such meetings were held
throughout a state and experts de-
clare, for instance, that a section

Der supply that business men
might use their influence to pre-
vent such land being sold for farm
purposes, says the real estate asso-
citation. This would be in effect a
coming Of country land which the
future may bring, according, to Mr..
Schoenmann.

National Association Of Real Estate

But the survey calls it to public
attention.
The survey studies forest growth
and can advise the state forester
the director of growth in certain
areas which will aid in extending
the state forest preserves in the
counties where this work has been
undertaken.
The modern commonwealth is
interested in attracting outside
industries that provide local en-
ploynent and increase the state
wealth. Being able to tell a paper
mill how big the trees in a certain,
area will be a decade from now is
just one of the big things a land
survey can do to help capture out
side business for its state.
And when land is idle or put to
an unwise use, the rest Of the state
must carry it, points out the survey
director. The state depends upon
tax revenues to maintain schools,
build roads and pay its officials
