ROCKVILLE PLANS
BIGGER POST OFFICE
No New Federal Building
Expected, but Other Quar-
ters Are Sought.

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 11.-Al-
of the Federal Government erecting a
post Office building in Rockville for a
good many years, at least, it is under
stood the town will have an up-to-date
headquarters for its steadily increasing
postal business in the not very distant
future.
The lease Of the present post Office
quarters will soon expire. and the Post
Office Department has requested bids,
which will be received until March q,
for rental of a building for or 10
years from January /, 1880.
According to Postmaster Willis z. Bur-
dette, William E. Welt, owner Of the
present post office building, and Brosius
Brothers, Rockville automobile dealers,
are arranging to submit plans calling for
up-to-date structures. Mr.. Welt will, 1t Is
understood, propose to remodel, and mod
ernie the present building, and the
plans of Brosius Brothers will, it is
stated, provide for the erection Of Il
new and adequate building on site
dulUlllulR LIlSlT dtItollODilC t5LstDlAHi4i4tiAl
on Montgomery avenue. near the Mont
gomery County National Bank Building.
Other bids may also be submitted, II Is
stated.
The Rockville post office is regarded
as probably the most important in the
county Not only does it serve the
town of Rockville. where there are two
deliveries of mail a day, excepting Sun
days, but five rural delivery routes radi-
ate from the office and cover all OF
Rockville district and large portions
of Jamestown. Potomac, Olney and
Wheaton districts, points as far away
as IL or more miles being reached.
The receipts of the office have been
steadily increasing for a good many
years, so Postmaster Burdette stated to-
day, which, of course, means that the
business has been growing in propor-
ton. and the need OF a more adequate
building is said to be generally recog-
nized Postmaster Burdette is under
stood to feel that when tine new lease
is signed a modern post office, sufficient
for the needs Of the community Tor
good many years, will be assured.

which was done. The question of
jurisdiction has been passed upon nu-
merous times and the raising of the
question as to whether Arlington County
is legally in Virginia is an absurdity,"
Cloth added.
Mcmahon stated that he believed that
the residents of Arlington County will
be greatly benefited by its return to
the District, both as to taxes and i'm
provements.
If the State were to dismiss the case
against him in so far as the delinquent
taxes are concerned / would still carry
the case through the courts in an effort
TO have Arlington County receded to
the District Of Columbia" Mcmahon
declared
The suit against McMahon is the
first of drive by authorities of the
county and State to collect by suit all
OF the taxes which have become de-
linquent for period Of five years or more
A minute examination of the tax books
is being made and suits will be imme-
ciately instituted in all cases where
Chew has been unable to collect. In
some of the cases where the taxes have
been delinquent for number of years
the owners are dead and the heirs cam
not be located.

PROPERTY OWNERS
SIGN FOR NEW ROAD.
Right of Way Given for Road
From BaIIStOn to Lee
Boulevard.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.


GLEBEWOOD, Va, March 11-Free
rights Of way for a new 40-foot highway
from Ballston to the proposed Lee
Boulevard have been signed by all of
the property owners who would be af-
fccted by the road and will be offered
to the county for development. it was
announced today by Robert T. Fore
man, chairman of the roads committee
of the Glebewood Citizens Association
and one of the property owners.
The new road would bisect terri
tory not heretofore served by a high
way and would be approximately enc
mile in length. There is little doubt
in the minds of the donors that it will
be accepted.
Among those who have signed the
rights of way are State Senator Frank
l.. Ball, his law partner Lawrence w.
Douglas; Foreman and Arlington Hall
Glrlc' School.
While it was proposed that the road
was to constructed only i'll case the
Lee Boulevard follows the present route
proposed for it, the donors are willing
to let the offer stand because OF the fact

cement road now running into the
school.
The Lee Boulevard. the State high
way that is to be Virginia's first con-
nection with the new Arlington Memo
rial Bridge, takes an equal amount of
ground from the school and Foreman.
the center of the route being the line
between the two properties, hence the
proposed new county road would make
two North and South connections, the
State having already arranged to pave
Glebe road from the Lee Highway to
Columbia Pike.
Arlington Hall and the residents of
Glebe road have never been given the
privilege Of transportation other than
that furnished by themselves. their plea
for bus line having been denied be-
cause of the fact that 1t would have
been impossible for the heavy vehicles
to have gotten through the mud on
Glebe road at certain times of the year.
With the paving of Glebe road a
certainty and the construction of the
proposed county road a probability, it
is planned by residents of that section
to request Leon Arnold. operator of the
ward and the Lee Highway, to start
service to the school,
Residents are confident that with the
school, where there are now more than
$50 students as we'll as the personnel
the extension of the bus line could be
made to pay. The matter is to be
taken up at the meeting of the Glebe-
wood Citizens Association. which will
take place tonight at o'clock at the
home of Charles Culpeper, on Pershing
drive.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. March 1.-THE defense of
Richard w. Mcmahon of Glencarlyn in
the suit brought against him for the
collection of 1869 in delinquent taxes
was described by Commonwealth Attor-
ney William c. Cloth as an "absurdity"
this morning.
Mcmahon in his defense claims that
the State of Virginia has no legal right
to tax him. since Arlington County was
once a part of the District Of Columbia
and should be yet considered part of
it. because it was not legally receded
by the State. He believes that any
taxes paid by him should be assessed
by the District and not by Virginia.
The suit was filed by me as COM
monWcalth attorney as required by the
act Of 1928 i'll reference TO delinquent
personal taxes Cloth said. "Frceland
Chew was appointed by the State Tax
Commission as delinquent State tax COL
lector, and the law provides that where
he cannot collect suit shall be brought
