hibiting working on Sunday resulted

on Charles w. Balienger OF Glen Echo
by Judge Charles w. woodward In the
Police Court here today. He noted an
appeal and furnished personal bond for
his appearance AZ the March term OF
the Circuit Court for the county.
Ballenger, who Is a plumber with
business establishments in Washington
and this county, was arrested by Pvt
Joseph Oldfleld of the county police
force, who told Judge Woodward that
the defendant performed labor on
house he was constructing at Glen
Echo on Sunday, February !, and II
was shown that he had been cautioned
by another oflcer several weeks before
that it was unlawful to do work Of the
kind in Maryland on the Sabbath.
Ballenger admitted all that was testi-
fed to by the witnesses for the State
but justified his action by declaring that
in compliance with the dictates Of his
day Of rest and In working on Sundays
many months, he did no more than
many other persons In the State, who
were not disturbed.
Judge Woodward, however, held that az
there is law on the statute books pro-
hibiting such activities on Sunday and
as the evidence showed the defendant
had violated that law, he considered II
his duty to impose the fine. 1t was
shown that Ballenger's arrest was due

Echo neighhors.

WORK STARTS SOON
!: ON LEE BOULEVARD
Convict Labor to BE Used.
Not to Interfere With
Unemployed.
b. a stan Correspondent of The star.

q
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va. February lathe Vir-
ginia State Highway Commission will
start work on the Lee Boulevard on or
about March and win employ convict
labor on the project, 1t was learned to-
day from II. @. Shirley, chairman OF the
commission.
i The Highway Commission had for
.3nerly expressed its Intention Of calling
for bids for the grading Of the boulevard,
but has decided that the work can be
done more satisfactorily by State engi-
,neers and with the use Of the convict
labor. This will be the first time that a
prison camp has been located so close
to Washington, it Is said.
While the exact location for the prison
camp has not yet been announced, r. /.
Mount, resident State engineer, stated
today that he had been informed that
The camp would be moved to this section
within o short time.
In announcing that convict labor
would be used, Shirley stated that this
action would in no way conflict with
the desires Of the Arlington County
Board of Supervisors that the project
be Immediately started in order to re-
leve the unemployment situation here.
- Only between 10 and IL cents on each
dollar that is spent in the construction
of roads where the convicts are used
goes to the cost of this type Of labor. he
said, and q large amount of this is
spent locally for food and supplies for
them. All that is spent for the con-
victs is for housing, clothing and feed
ing them.
OF labor from the section in which the
construction Is to take place, he de-
clared, since convicts are not permitted
to drive trucks or handle machinery
end 1t will be necessary to recruit such
labor locally. Out Of the 81, 000, 900 that
the State has spent in construction
work in which convict labor was used,
he said, the cost Of this type Of labor
has been but $3.50, 1000, he revealed.
4 The work on the boulevard will start
at the western boundary Of the Fort
Myer Military Reservation and will pro-
coed westward to Fort Buffalo on the
Falls Church Alexandria pike Pro-
vision is to be made for a 40-foot pave
nnent, although it is not known at this
time whether it will be possible TO con-
etruct an original road of this width.
i There is available at. the present time
approximately $150,000 for the grading
and construction Of culverts. There has
been appropriated $500 900, but the
Highway Commission has already spent
about $4,000 In the acquisition Of
rights of way and other expenses Incl
dental to the preparation for the road.
: Most of the rights of way have been
provided by the National Boulevard AS
$ociation, which has spent the last four
years on this work. The right of way
Is 200 feet in width along the entire
route, allowing for future widening of
the pavement and for parking and
planting of trees and shrubbery.
Z Legislation is now pending in the
National Congress for the construction
Of the link of the boulevard through the
Fort Myer Reservation and Arlington
National Cemetery, It being impossible
for the State Of Virginia to do this
work.
