PARKING COSTS
S7,500,000

The construction cost for under
ground parking for cars of the
5000 employees who will be
housed in the new Government
buildings will amount to about
$780, 900, Louis A. Simon, of the
office of the supervising archi-
tect of the Treasury, last night
told the Federal Bar Association.
He added that the main ques-
ton for consideration is whether
the clerks have a right to de-
mand seven-hour parking from
the Federal Government.
Approximately 10000 persons
will be employed in the buildings
in the Government triangle, and
of this number about 5000 drive
to work each day in their ma
chimes, ne said.
The speaker did not touch on
the question of making nomi-
nal charge for the parking ser
vice that eventually would pay
for the cost and maintenance OF
the underground parking areas.

SUBURB WATER
PLAN STUDIED

Officials of the town of Falls
Church, Va, will meet with the
Arlington county board of super
visors, Commonwealth Attorney
w. C. Cloth and County Engi.
neer C. L. Kinnier tomorrow
night to draw up the provisions
of a contract for supplying Falls
Church with water.
After passage of a $125,0 900
water bond issue at general
election in February, officials Of
Falls Church received estimates
on a municipal water system,
which is now in the process Of
being installed.
Prior to that time, the Airing
ton county section of the town
ship mad been supplied with
water from the Arlington county
system, but the Fairfax section Of
the town depended upon wells for
it's water. With the long-con,
tinued drought, much hardship
was suffered by residents of this
section and the demand for a
municipal system supplying the
entire corporation was demanded.
Under the tentative arrange
ment, Arlington county will sup
ply the town with its water at q
rate not designed to make a
profit, while the township will
purchase from the Arlington
county water system all of the
pipe which that system has in
stalled in the Arlington section
of Falls Church.
If the contract goes through
as planned, Arlington will have
to make arrangements to bring
an additional supply main over
the Chain Bridge to care for the
additional number of water users.

FUNDS PR0BED

While the town of Capitol
Heights seethes in a cauldron of
political ferment, George Finger,
chairman Of the common coun-
Gil, faces an investigation into
his management of town funds.
The storm broke late last night
after Mr.. Finger attempted to
have w. w. Rawlins removed
from the council because he does
not own $100 worth of town
property, as the town charter
requires. Mr.. Rawlins, however,
will remain on the council.
The course of last nights meet
ing took a sudden turn against
Mr.. Finger, when a cancelled
check for $50, appropriated to buy
tractor for town road work,
was brought before the meeting.
This check, Mr.. Rawlins declared
today was made out to Finger to
make the purchase. The tractor
was paid for, Mr.. Rawlins de-
clared, by a personal check for
$25 signed by Mr.. Finger.
Immediately upon this dis
closure, the four remaining mem
bers of the council we're ap-
pointed by Mayor Selig Posin to
investigate the charges.
The meeting closed after a
large check for the payment of
road cinders had been questioned.
