LYON VILLAGE, Va, August 49,
Meeting last night in special session, the
Lyon Village Citizens Association voted
unanimously to oppose the erection OF
filing station on the Lee Highway oppo-
site the intersection Of that road by
Virginia and Rucker avenues and COM
rleted plans for the appearance before
the zonins Commission tonight OF a
large delc2 ton to present their views.
Opponents Encouraged.
The opponents of the filling station
we're encouraged in their stand when
advised by the president Of the assoc
citation, Robert NJ Anderson, that he had
received communication from A. j.
Webb. secretary of the Zonirfg Commits
sion, advising him that the associa-
ton will be granted a reheaEtng and
quoting an extract from resolution
passed by that body on June %. reQuir-
ing the signatures of approval OF IS
per cent of the adjacent property hold
crs to accompany applications for peN-
mits for the erection of business build
ings.
The applicants did not have petition
signed b. these property owners, it was
said. but the association now has the
signatures of all but very few to petit
tions of protest that are to be handed
the zoning Commission tonight.
While the opponents believe that the
location of filling station at that point
their residence property, their principal
objection, as voiced at the meeting, ia
that II would, because OF its location, be
a menace to public safety.
Herbert Smith OF the Clarendon VOL
inteer Fire Department stated thai
each new filling station placed in the
county presents an additional fire haz.
ard and that the proposed station in
question is particularly Objectionable
because 1t Is located on an alleged
curve and because the fire apparatu.

DEBT CONFERENCE
MAY ADJOURN THURSDAY;
DEPENDS UPON BELGIUM
Continued from First Page.)

Germans and the Belgians, the drafting
committee is going ahead preparing the
third text of its report, incorporating
all the changes resulting from the nogo-
tiations of the past fortnight. The
text is expected to be ready late tonight
or tomorrow morning. The experts will
study it Sunday and will meet in a
full drafting committee presided over
by Sir Josiah Stamp of Great Britain
on Monday to discuss 1t.
Probable Adoption Thursday.
Revisions that may be necessary, it is
thought. will be completed by WedneS-
day. Thus, in case the marks question
is settled, the report can be adopted
by Thursday at the latest. Otherwise
the report will be modified so as to take
into account the failure Of the Ger
mans and Belgians to agree and the
consequent refusal Of the Belgians to
sign the agreement.
The report nevertheless will recon-
mend to the reparations commission
and the governments setting up OF an
international bank with a capital OF
500, 000, 900 to replace the reparatlons
commission and the agent general for
reparations in handling reparations
payments.
Thomas w. Lamont, member Of the
American representation, asked to sum
up the situation would permit himself
to be quoted as saying only everything
excepting the question of marks in Bel
GUM has been settled"
The experts generally are not quite
sure as to just what will happen If that
outstanding question remains open, be-
cause all depends on whether the Bel
gians stick to their determination, re-
peatedly expressed, not to sign the
agreement unless they get 25,000,0 900
marks (about $4,000, 000) year for 81
years to replace the gold securities and
Belgian paper money for which the
Germans had substituted marks that
eventually became worthless.
