Delayed to Avoid Error
in Judgment.
BY STAFF Correspondent Of Tn. star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, March 5.-Confident that
there is to be a fund of $4,000 avail.
able for its use during the balance
of the year, the Arlington County zon-
ing Commission has prepared its buds
get for the year and will present it to
the board of county supervisors for

While it was not felt advisable to
make known the exact figures of the
budget until after they have been con-
sidered by the board of supervisors, A.
j. Webb, secretary of the Zoning COM
mission, made known the fact that be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000 of this amount
is for the employment of an expert
coming engineer. The entire $4,000
was considered in preparation of the
budget, but allowance was made for a
reserve fund. any unexpended balance
to be used next year.
The commission is considering num-
Der of applicants for the post of coming
engineer, but is so anxious that no
mistake be made that it Is with
holding final action until it is an
answer from a bureau n Massachusetts
that specializes in this type of work -
Chairman John r. Harding expressed
the opinion today that the engineer
must be one from distance, so that he
can make his decisions without the
prejudice that might influence him in
case he is familiar with the territory.

place on March IA, the commission viii

which has been prepared by the Office
of the county engineer, but it is ex-
pected that no definite action in regard

STANDP|PE PLAN
MAY Be EXTENDED
System of Several Water
Towers Held Necessary
Later in Prince Georges.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
EVANSVILLE. Md, March S.
While in the opinion of Chief Engineer
Robert B. Morse of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission, there
is no immediate necessity for the con-
Struction of additional StandpipeS or
elevated tanks within the area of the
sanitary district it is certain that with
the rapidly increasing population in the
Berwyn and Capitol Heights neighbor-
hoods, these appurtenances will even
tually have to be erected to give proper
water pressure to these communities.
1t is the judgment of the engineer
that the wide extent of territory COW
cred by the Washington Suburban San
itary District and the topography OF
the area make the construction of a
single large reservoir, or few such
reservoirs, unsuitable.
Several Held Necessary.
The plans of the commission have
always contemplated the construction of
a considerable number OF standpipes or
elevated tanks at various high points
in the district. these water storage de-
vices to be installed. from time to time.
as the needs of the various sections
require.
THE presence of standpipes at favor
able locations on water system" says
Mr.. Morse, greatly increases the as
surance of uninterrupted service in a
locality during short periods of high
water consumption. caused either by
extremely hot or cold weather. or by
loss of water at times of breaks In
mains or during extensive fires Through
the use of such Standpipes, as that at
Cheverly, water department is able
to meet peak load conditions with more
moderate sized mains and with less
pumping equipment"
The Cheverly standpipe is of service
to all of the sanitcry districts water
consumers in Prince Georges County
with the exception Of those in and near
Takoma Park. 1t serves, at present as
the only storage device for the whole
section extending from Berwyn to Capt.
toll Heights, an area more than six
miles in length.
Two Held for Emergencies.
The construction of the Cheverly
standpipe was made necessary by the
large increase in population in this
area within the last few years, which
caused the Hyattsville and Mount Raj
nier elevated tanks to become made
quate. These tanks are now kept for
emergency use.
The capacity of the Cheverly stand
pipe is 100000 gallons, this being 10
times as much as is contained in either
the Hyattsville or Mount Rainier tanks
The diameter of this standpipe is so
feet and it's height 70 feet.
The commission has recently COM
pleted construction of another million
gallon standpipe, this one being near
Woodside in Montgomery County. The
Woodside standpipe bears about the
same relation to the commissions water
system in Montgomery County as the
Cheverly tank does to the system in
Prince Georges Tnuntv.

GLEBE ROAD WORK
TO Be DOUBLED
Four-MiIe Link to Be I'M
proved This Year, Forman
Is Notified.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.
Staff CORRESPONDENT OF The Star.

CLARENDON, Va. March 5-The
already happy situation regarding the
construction of new roads in Arlington
County this year was made even more
favorable last night when Robert T.
Forman chairman of the roads COM
mite of the Glebewood Citizens As
ISOLATION, received letter from the
State Highway Commission advising
him that they will construct four miles
of Glebe road this year instead of the
two miles originally planned.
Forman and his associates have been
fighting for the widening and paving
of Glebe road for more than year and
now have succeeded in having the plans
of the highway commission changed to
permit the construction of enough of
this highway to connect the Lee High
way and Columbia Pike.
Connects Two Sections.
Because of the fact that Glebe road
is the only direct connecting link be-
tween the northern and southern ex-
tremities of the county. residents have
not heretofore been able to travel be-
except by going all of the distance east
to the courthouse and then across by
Fort Myer.
Glebe road was left out of the orig
inal tentative ALLEGATIONS for this year,
but the Highway Commission needed
an urgent plea of residents to take
advantage of q great number of free
rights of way that had been secured
and agreed to construct two miles of
the road, carrying 1t from the Lee
Highway to Ballston.
While this would have provided an
excellent detour link when the con-
struction of Lee Boulevard is started. it
would not have served those who
fought hardest for the road some OF
whom are at the present time unable
cause of the mud.
Type of Surfacing Changed.
AS result of this situation, Forman
| wrote to the Highway Commission and
| asked whether there might be some
way that the ALLEGATION could be
| stretched to connect the Lee Highway
and Columbia Pike. 1t was as re-
| suit of this letter that he received
the reply last night telling him that by
changing the plans for the type of con-
struction it would be possible to double
| the mileage.
All but 5 per cent of the free rights
of way for the part of the road that
is to be constructed this year have
! been obtained, and the State will send
an expert to assist in obtaining the
rest. it was announced in the letter to
| Forman.
The State Highway engineers have
completed the surveys for the widen
ing of the Lee Highway from Cherry
dale to a point beyond Halls Hill and
are expected to start this week on the
Washington Alexandria Pike. Both OF
these highways are to be widened and
| reconstructed this year.

The Parents and Teachers.

When the annual conventions of the
National Congress of Parents and
Teachers come to Washington they
come back home. 1t was here in Wash
ington, back in 1897, that the first con-
vention was held and in the thirty-two
| years since, while they have toured the
country from Atlantic City to Los An
geles and from Chicago to Austin. they
have chosen Washington eleven times
! for their meetings. This is their birth
place, and 1t is to be hoped that they
will continue to come back from year
to year, and that their growth in num-
bers, power and prestige during the
next three decades will equal their
astonishing growth of the last three.
The Parents and Teachers Congress
was born as an idea. But it has devel-
oped as an important factor in the edu-
cational life of the Nation. 1t has come
to be the tie that binds the school and
the home, the two institutions that
count most in the molding of young
lives for future usefulness. During this
thirty-third annual convention, now
about to come to close in Washington,
the delegates and guests have given a
great part Of their time to the dis
cussion of theories and the exchange of
ideas. Going back home the visitors
will give to organizations in every State
and in nearly every city. town and viii
lage in the country these pointers along
the road that lies ahead.
Here in Washington the parent
teacher organization is extraordinarily
important. The relationship between it
and the community is unique. 1t is I'M
duplicated in any other city. The par
ents in Washington have no direct voice
in the schools. They take, for their
children, what a body of legislators
representing every community iii the
Nation except this one chooses to give
them. That most potent of corrective
instruments, the ballot, is denied them.
All that is left for them are the rights
of petition and argument, and the par
ent-teacher bodies in Washington have
supplied to a major extent the organi-
zation for the exercise of those limited
rights. They have, in addition, sue
ceeded in developing and maintaining
the interest Of unorganized parents in
the separate schools which serve indi-
vidual communities. They have brought
the parents into contact with the teach
ers. and they have enabled the parents
to supply for the schools many of the
necessary supplementary items which
school appropriations have denied them.
Washington, therefore, has more than
passing interest in the success and the
prosperity Of the National Congress of
Parents and Teachers. It has felt the
benefits from the existence of such an
organization and it wishes them every
where extended.
