School Committee OF the chamber had
asked the Alexandria School Board to
have corrected certain things that are
known to be detrimental to the educa-
ton of the youth of Alexandria" before
il attempts to build new 100000 high
school.
Convention Records Broken.
Alexandria has broken all records in
Virginia and other States, as far as
obtaining conventions for next year,
Mr.. Hollenga said, in explaining the
reason why the chamber had decided TO
ask only State conventions here from
now on Effort is now being made by
the chamber to have organizations
coming here arrange their dates, in or
der that two or more conventions may
not be here on the same day, he said.
The question Of a suitable auditorium
for the conventions was put by Judge
Howard w. Smith. who stated that If
the armory is to be used it should be
reconditioned. 1t was stated that the
American Legion has been granted use
of the auditorium in the new Masonic
Memorial for its convention, and that
the Virginia Public Service Co.'S audi
torium would probably be used by other
organizations.

APPEAL PROMISED
Alexandria Line Will Go to

movaI of Tracks.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, october 10
Stating that offcials Of the Mount YER
non, Alexandria IL Washington Rail
way will go before the United States
Supreme Court If their injunction pro-
hibiting the removal OF tracks in Wash
ington by the Government is not sus-
tanned, j. William May, chairman OF
the Joint Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee attempting to solve the Virginia
rail situation. outlined the work OF
his committee before the Alexandra
Chamber of Commerce last night.
During a general discussion OF the
problem Alfred Thompson brought out
the fact that the decision OF the Public
Utilities Commission in refusing to
grant permission for the Virginia lines
to cross Pennsylvania avenue at Four
teenth street because Of congested traf-
fic there is debatable. He pointed out
the fact that Virginia persons will
have to cross the Avenue if their car
line is abandoned ana the increased
bus and motor car tr' JIG on the ave
nue. will equal the Isoposed increase
in car traffic.
Transfer Is Studied.
H. E. Norris asked if it would not be
possible tor arrangements to be made
with the Washington Railway e. Elec-
trio Co. whereby passengers of the
Virginia lines might be transferred at
some point between the Highway Bridge
and the Avenue.
The attitude OF the Public Utilities
Commission in leaving the solving of
this problem entirely up to the railways
was criticized by President Frank w.
NoXon. He stated that the District had
taken no steps at all in the way Of
traf1c surveys or otherwise in an at
tempt to solve the problem of the Vir-
ginia lines.
Following his report on the recent
meeting at Quantico Va, in the interest
of procuring widening and straighten-
ing of United States Highway No. !
from Alexandria to Fredericksburg, Va,
Dan S. Hollenga stated that already a
large number of people of the section
concerned have granted free rights of
ways over their property to the Virginia
Highway Commission for the proposed
work.
