VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS, Va, Janu-
airy 29.-Herbert F. Smith, chief of the
Clarendon Department, offered a reSo-
luton at the meeting of the Arlington
Fairfax Counties Firemen'S Association
held at the Jefferson District Fire House
last night, which was unanimously
adopted, providing that no part of the
money derived from the fire levy in
Arlington County shall be used to pay
for the installation of fire plugs or for
water used from them in extinguiShinR
fires.
Objects to Water Rent.
It was the further sense of the asso-
citation that volunteer fire departments
shall not be required to pay water rent
for water used in any fire house. Copies
OF the resolution were ordered sent to
each member of the board of supervisors
and the county's directing engineer.
In supporting the resolution j. r.

was refusing to pay for gasoline and
fuel for the fire houses. This, he said,
will curtail the fire levy about $4,000
There are about 324 fire plugs in the

$40 year for each, the money to be
deducted from the levy.
