WATER SUPPLY
PLAN DELAYED

FALLS CHURCH, Va, Jan. IS.
Officials of Falls Church have not
yet decided what steps shall be
taken to give this township an
adequate water supply. following
the failure of the 125,000 water
bond issue in the general election
held early this week.
Popular opinion was in favor
of the issuance of water bonds,
and the measure was defeated
through a clause in the town
charter which provides that at
least so per cent of the eligible
voters in the corporation limits
must take part in the election.
Only $50 votes were cast in this
election, although the eligible list
contained 612 names. The cleo,
tion was therefore declared indie
cisive although the final vote
showed that 253 were in ialor of
the measure while only q op.
posed it.

PARKWAY PLAN
DISCUSSED

FAIRFAX, Va, Jan. 15.-The
January meeting of the Fairfax
Chamber of Commerce, held last
night in the Lee-Jackson high
school, was given over to a lengthy
discussion Of the proposed park
way provided for in the Capper'
Cramton act.
Failure of the city Of Alexandria
to approve the Ball act, establish
ing a park and planning commits
sion for northern Virginia, has
caused the proponents of the park
plan to again lend their efforts to
securing a special session of the
State legislature for the purpose
of making the necessary appro-
priations.
L. L. Freeman, member Of the
State legislature from Fairfax
county, told the trade body that
the proposed park was golden"
opportunity, not only for northern
Virginia, but for the entire State.
He pointed out that half the ex.
pense of building the park would
be borne by the Federal Govern
ment and afterward the mainte-
nance of the park would be in the
hands of the National Park and
Planning Commission.
The opposition, led by Capt.
Thurlow White, expressed the
opinion that the park was a prof.
ect designed to benefit only the
city of Washington.
Captain White thought that the
water front, with its numerous ad-
vantageS and opportunities was
far more important than any ad-
vantages that may result from the
park.

FIGHT IS TAKEN
To DEMOCRAT
LEADERS
Protest Resolution Adopted
Unanimously Forwarded to
Silver Spring Party ParIey

TAKOMA PARK, Md, Jan. Is,
The rising tide Of protest against
the proposed increase of 1912
cents in the Montgomery county
tax rate took active form last
night, when Mayor Ben G. Davis
invited the town council into a
special session for the purpose Of
giving expression to the proCest
of the taxpayers of Takoma Park.
The following resolution, which
will be presented at a special
meeting tonight at Silver Spring
of county Democratic organiza-
ton leaders representing every
section of Montgomery county,
was unanimously adopted by the
Takoma town council:
Depression Cited
The impression having gone
forth that the mayor and cOun-
Gil, in a recent informal discus
sion concerning proposed county
improvements, had given their
their approval to a possible in
crease in the county tax rate,
in order to correct. such errO-
ne0us impression, be it.
Resolved, That while the
mayor and council are decidedly
favorable to all those projects
which tend to the progress and
development of MOntgamery
county, including schools, roads
and parks, and for the authOri.
zatiOn of the necessary bond
issues to carry them into effect,
they are of the opinion that
such bond issues should be linn
tied to the ability of the county
to finance them within the
present existing tax rate. In
the Judgment of the mayor and
council the prevailing depres-
sion in industrial and agricul-
tural pursuits does not justify
an increase in county taxes at
this time.
Resolved, That the delegates
Of the town of TakOma Park to
the Montgomery County Civic
Federation be instructed to act
in conformity with the above
resolution.
