BRIDGE ROUTE LACK
BRINGS PROTEST.
Virginia ALLEGATIONS Do Not
Include Clarendon and
BaIIston Approach.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, November u.s.
Failure of the State to make an allo-
cation for the construction Of any part
of the straight bridge boulevard
route during the coming year has re-
suited In the calling of o meeting to-
night of the association sponsoring that
highway, 1t was announced today by
Arthur Orr, president Of the Straight
to~the- Bridge Association. The meeting
will be held in the rooms of the Ar
lington County Chamber of Commerce.
The reason for the immediate calling
Of the meeting, Orr said, Is that Gov.
Harry F. Byrd and H. G. Shirley, chair
man of the Virginia State Highly Com
mission, are both scheduled to meet to-
morrow with Federal and county ON
Gals for q conference on Arlington
Memorial Bridge approaches and other
proposed developments for the metro
highway association wishes to be In q
position to present its case at this meet
ing, which will be held at the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps Country Club.
No Fault TO Find.
The STRAIGHTFORWARD Bridge Associa-
ton has absolutely no fault to find with
the Highway Commission in making an
ALLEGATION Of 100000 for the grading
and construction of culverts for the
Lee Boulevard, Orr said, but is deeply
concerned over its failure to make any
provision for a connection with the
Memorial Bridge for the thickly settled
communities Of Clarendon and BallSton.
While the Highway Commission has
already adopted into the State system
the straight route, ex-
tending from PorterS Woods through
Clarendon and Ballston to Mulhall road,
it was pointed out, Shirley has an
nounced that no definite route has ever
been selected and that none will be
until the ALLEGATION for construction is
made. The distance taken over by the
State is % miles, and while the ASSOC
citation would like to see this entire
length of road constructed by the time
the new bridge is ready for opening.
their immediate efforts will be directed
toward the reallocaton Of sufncent
funds to construct at least enough to
reach Clarendon, a distance OF between
a half and three-quarters Of mile.
Would Cut Out Route.
Under existing conditions the citizens
of the more thickly populated section
of the county will be deprived OF any
direct route to the new bridge, since the
Lee Boulevard follows a Southwesterly
direction, which Is away from Claren-
don and BallSton.
The public hearings on. the tentative
ALLEGATIONS for Cu1peper District, OF
which Arlington County is part, will
be held In Charlottesville on December
is, and the association hopes to have
made sufficient progress by that time
to be able to persuade the State to
reconsider the original single alloca-
ton and provide enough more for the
small amount or road Immediately
needed.
