City, N. j., who claims TO have had
500 damage done to his auto when he
hit the barricade last Saturday night,
called on City Manager Wallace Law
renee with regard to the matter.
Keeser said that he had already been
to State authorities at Richmond, and
that their attitude had been that they
were sorry, but that nothing could be
done about the matter by them.
City Manager Lawrence told Keeser
that as the barricade was in Arlington
County and on a State highway, the
accident did not happen in the city
and no consideration could be given
his claim here. Lawrence referred the
man back to the State Highway De-
partment
Workmen today started the constrtlc-
tior OF the extended barricade, rs pro-
posed by j. c. Albright, district en-
gfneer Of the State Highway Depart
ment, following conference between
local and Arlington County oficials and
the engineer Monday afternoon. A

placed TO the north Of the barricade.
