3 BIG PROJECTSSET
FOR IMPROVEMENT
Arlington Sewer System Is
First-Zoning and Water
Next in Order.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.

CLARENDON, Va, July 31.-Meet-
ing yesterday for the first time, the
newly chosen five-year program COM
mittee of the Arlington County Cham
Der of Commerce selected three major
and one minor items as those demand
ing the immediate attention of the
chamber. They will submit their sug-
gestions at the regular meeting of the
board OF directors tomorrow with rec
concentrations Of definite nature.
First of the major items selected is
a county sewer system. This Is fol-
lowed by planning and coming, includ-
ing an industrial survey, and the water
question. The minor item is the ques-
ton OF some systematic method of
keeping the highways and streets clean.
Chambers Duty.
In the opinion of the committee,
which IS headed by Henry c. Morris,
it is the duty of the Chamber Of Com
merce to look into every phase of the
sewer question before indorsing the
present plan as passed upon last week
by Judge Howard w. Smith in Circuit
Court, who designated the county as a
single unit in considering a bond issue
for sewer installation.
In the matter Of planning and zon-
ing the trade body feels more than
casual interest in the present coming of
the county because it Is furnishing half
Of the funds for this work and, there
fore, the members fell considerable re-
sponsibility as to the outcome. The
committee believes that because Of Ar
lington County's peculiar position with
regard to the National Capital the plan
ming of streets and highways should be
accommodated with tho 1onin0 ond that
an industrial survey would aid the zon-
ing commission in its work.
AS was done in the other two queS-
lions a special subcommittee was Sc
lected to make study Of the present
water system with regard to admins
tration and extension and to have writ
ten reports in readiness for definite
action by the board of directors at its
tomorrow.
P. P. Woodbridge, executive secre-
tary, will spend all of today and to-
morrow in the preparation of data for
the committee.
The meeting of the Swear program
committee was followed last night by
dinner meeting of the inter-relations
committee Of the combined chambers
of commerce Of Arlington County, Fair
fax County and the City of Alexandra
to consider matters Of mutual interest
to the three bodies.
Acting on the suggestion Of Wood
bridge that plans be made for large
joint field day and picnic. the commit
tee decided upon such an affair and
left the time and date to the board of
directors of the Arlington County body.
Members of the Fairfax County dele

By a Stan Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, July 31.-An investigation
by DR.. p. M. Chichester. Arlington

reported to him and that all are women
who attended the luncheon, one Of
them being Miss Elinor Swain, daugh-
ter Of DR.. B. H. Swain, county coroner.
Investigation Under Way.
A full report on the cause Of the cpl
demic awaits the completion of an in
vestigation that has been under way for
more than a week and that has resulted
In the elimination of the county water
and milk supplies as the cause. A care
full analysis of the water supply and Of
the milk of all the diaries serving their
products in Arlington County has re-
vealed that they are not contaminated
in any way, he said.
While indicating that he has def
nitely located the origin of the germ

the disease by nearly q half of the
women who attended the luncheon,
DR.. Chichester declared that he wished

had been forced to treat all informa-
ton as confidential in order to get
statements from those affected, since
all were reluctant to release informa-
ton that might cause embarrassment
to themselves or to those responsible
for the luncheon.

DIVIDED ON
BONUS

The ranks Of Washington 3
Government workers are
sharply divided over the pro-
posal that a differential in
salary, or bonus. should be
paid to those Federal employees
whose work presents hazards
to life and health.
Tho plan, which was advanced by
Ismar Baruch. member OF the Per.
sonnel Classification Board, to the
convention Of the Federation of
Federal Employees in Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich. is the first official
advocacy of the reinstallation of the
bonus pay system in Government
departments.
Abuses Are Feared
It's principle, Ii accepted by chief
clerks and other departmental Off
cials as excellent. but 1t is feared
that in practice it would lead TO
many abuses and Determinations.
Opposition also apparently is based
upon the fact that it Is thrust for
ward mainly as a reward for diff
cult and ha azardous work by pro-
fessional and scientific employees,
and probably will not mean any
increases for clerical and admins
trative workers.
1t does NOT appear probable that
the Federation OF Federal Employees
will take any action at its conven-
tion indorsing the Baruch proposal.
Row Over Wage Data
A sharp conflict has arisen in fed.

Board. The officials Of the union
lied workers are inclined to feel that
the present system of comparing sal

unfair to the former.
There will be an attempt made
during the federation convention to
ask the Personnel Classification
Board to compare the pay OF Gov

to place the comparison only on the
