additional miles of State highway,
Fairfax County will receive approx
mately l6 miles and Prince William
County will be apportioned approx
mately IA miles. Senator Ball maze
desperate fight to have the committee
include an amendment giving the coun-
ties adjacent to the District of Column
bia more mileage to care for the den
Sity of traffic, but failed.
As explained by Senator Ball. the
State has already taken into the system
eight miles of new highway. OF this
amount about five and half miles Will
be used for the section of the Lee Bou-
levard lying in Arlington County and
the other two and half miles has been
allocated to the straight-to- the bridge
route, although the highway that is now
being maintained by the State has never
been definitely designated as the needed
access to the new Arlington Memorial
Bridge for the thickly settled sections.
AIlOcated Specifically.
Nevertheless, Senator Ball says, this
mileage was allocated specifically for the
Straight-to-the -bridge route and mile
and half of the proposed miles al
lowed under the Porter Rhodes bill will
be SUFFICIENT to complete this project
leaving 612 miles to be distributed
throughout other portions of the county.
The Senate amendment provides that
one-half of the 1000 miles be deSig-
mated by the Highway Commission by
September /, 1880, half of the amount
SO designated to be taken into the State
system for maintenance on October /,
1890. The other half of this portion,
or one-fourth of the total, is to be taken
INTO the system July /, 1881.
The remaining half of the total is to
be designated not before September /,
1881, a half of this to be taken over for
by October l, 1881, and
the remainder on July /, 1882. BY
carrying the completion of the pro-
visions of this act over until 1892 it is
believed that it will be possible to pre-
vent any road legislation of a similar
nature during the next session of the
General Assembly.
Under the provisions of this bill, SEN
ator Ball believes, Arlington County will
be in a most favorable condition with
respect to access to the new $4,000 900
Federal bridge.
The Senate roads committee also re-
ported out bill permitting the State
Highway Commission to enter into con-
tracts with incorporated towns having
populations of less than $500 whereby
the State can take over for construction
ana maintenance such highway through
those towns as needed to connect State
highways. This would be without cost
TO the towns and would be exceptionally
favorable to such towns as Falls Church
and Fairfax.

7-CENT PARK TAX
VOTED BY CITIZENS
Prince Georges County Fed
GRAFTON Approves Levy for
Development in Area.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star

BLADENSBURG, Md, February Z
Taking the position that the benefits
derived will far exceed the cost. the
Prince Georges County Federation of
Citizens Associations last night nlaced
itself on record as favoring the inaugI-
ration of 7-cent levy for park de-
velopment in the county.
Meeting in the parish hall of St.
Lukes Episcopal Church, the majority
of the delegates from most of the
citizens associations of the county
voted in favor of the 7-cent park and
planning commission levy and urged
its imposition by the county commits
SionerS.
Opposed in Mount Rainier.
In taking this action the Federation
of Citizens Association expressed a
sentiment directly opposite to that
voiced by the mayor and council of
Mount Rainier, who last Monday night
asked the commissioners not to make
any increase in the park and planning
commission levy on the ground that it
would cause an unjuStifiable additional
financial burden on the taxpayers of
the county.
F. w. Cast of Cheverly, who spon-
Sored the motion adopted by The fed
Grafton, pointed out, however, that by
adding the 7-cent levy the residents of
the county would receive the benefit of
a $4,000 State appropriation for the
purchase of park lands and part of the
$1,000, 900 proposed Federal appropria-
ton for the purchase of property ad-
joining District of Columbia parkways.
An offer of land from the Fort Lin
coin Cemetery officials also was cited
by Cast as an opportunity for realizing
much on the levy investment, which
would result in the development of a
parkway at least to Bladensburg, and
lead to the dredging of the Northwest
Branch, thus relieving the long-com-
plained-of flood conditions there. w.
r. Beattie, however, expressed doubt as
to whether this would be effectively
accomplished if the dredging stopped
at Bladensburg.
Judge Bailey Reelected.
Judge Alfred D. Bailey of Bladens-
burg was reelected president of the
federation. Other officers chosen were
DR.. William S. Keister of District
Heights, vice president; G. Watson
Lambert, Cheverly, secretary, and G. w.
Morgan, Seabrook, treasurer.
It was voted to request the co-opera-
ton of the Annapolis Chamber of Com
merce in the federation's effort to have
electric light rates in the territory served
by the Annapolis & Chesapeake Bay
Power Co. reduced. The citizens allege
they have to pay 10 cents kilowatt
hour while customers of the Potomac
Electric Power Co. in adjacent neigh
borhood pay only Al cents.
In his annual report President Bailey
cited four outstanding detectives sought
by the federation during 1929. These
we're the establishment of a county
hospital, the elimination of flood condi-
tons at Bladensburg, the widening of
the Defense Highway and law enforce
ment in Prince Georges County. The

BILLS TO BENEFIT
NEARBY COUNTIES
Gas and Roads Measures
Receive Favorable Consider
alton in Virginia Assembly.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

RICHMOND, Va, February THE
Senate yesterday afternoon, as a result
of swift maneuvering on the part OF its
chief prepayment, Senator Saxon w. Holt
of Newport News, passed, without a dis
senting vote, the gasoline tax distribu-
ton bill that was recommended at the
beginning of the present session by the
special commission of which Senator
Holt is chairman.
This is one of two measures of par
ticular interest to Northern Virginia
that received favorable consideration
yesterday, the other being the reporting
out by the Senate roads committee of
the Porter-RhodeS bill adding approx
mately 1900 miles to the State system.
The latter carried an amendment to the
bill that had previously been passed by
the House.
Passed in Hurry.
The passage of the gasoline tax dis
tribution bill came less than "a hours
after it had been reported out of COM
mittee. When the measure came up on
the floor of the Senate yesterday Sen
ator Holt succeeded in having the con-
stitutional requirements dispensed with
and the bill was passed on the first
ballot.
Distribution to counties of their share
of the gasoline tax under this plan is on
the following basis:
One-half cent of the total scent tax
to counties on the present basis of 1925
revenues and the remaining cent of the
counties share on the basis of area,
population and total State taxes and
local revenues. A new feature added in
committee guarantees minimum OF
$4,000 yearly to each county.
In commenting upon the bill Senator
11n AJNrt1 h
ern Virginia counties, stated that ne
believes Arlington and Fairfax Counties
will suffer little or no loss in the long
run under the provisions of the new
bill.
The share of the two counties will be
the same this year as last, he pointed
out, and neither can lose more than Is
per cent in 1881, according to section
of the measure. While both may show
a slight loss next year, he said, the in
creased population which the 1880 CEN
sus is expected to show will probably
bring both up to the amount that they
now receive. 1t is even probable, he said,
that Fairfax County may receive more,
but Arlington CountyS chance of this
has been diminished by the annexation
of part of her territory by Alexan-
dria. The bill now goes to the House
for immediate consideration.
May Finish Bridge Route.
Completion of the proposed straight
to-the-bridge highway in Arlington
County. a project that is being sought
by the residents of Clarendon, Ballston
and other thickly settled sections of Ar
lington County, is expected to result
from the action on the Porter Rhodes
mileage bill. Having already been passed
by the House, it is believed that this
measure will quickly receive favorable
action in the Senate
Under the provisions of this bill Ar
hngton County will be apportioned an
