running events, would be All outstand-
ing attraction, although the agricultural
features would not be neglected. 1t was
decided to keep the fair going all four

The directors unanimously ratified
the action of President Gilpin and Sec
retary Trundle in agreeing 10 sell the
approximately 80 acres comprising the
fair grounds to the educational board
for $35 900 and Secretary Trundle was
directed to call meeting Of the mem

There was some discussion OF the
future of the society in view of the
probable sale of the fair grounds and
the sentiment seemed TO be, it was
stated, against disbanding. which was
interpreted as meaning that the organ-
ization may continue to sponsor agri-
cultural fairs possibly on somewhat
different plan than heretofore.

GOSNELL.TO BACK
BYRD ROAD PLAN
Holds Adoption Is Only Way
to Get Sewerage System
Without Tax Boost.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, June 25.-rhe first split
in the, ranks of the county board in its
heretofore unanimous opposition to the
Byrd road act occurred today when
Fred A. Gosnell, who has been waging
a countrywide campaign against the
measure, announced that he will sup
port 1t in the future and seek to have
the county accept it at the election
in August.
Gosnell's change was brought about,
his statement gays, by a more careful
study of the needed improvements in
the county This study convinced him
that the most imperative needed i'm
provement is a countrywide sewerage
system. he said, and he believes that
the cnly way possible to accomplish this
without a substantial increase in taxes
is by remaining under the Byrd act
and using the money so saved to
finance a bond issue.
Would Require Tax Boost
The sewerage system can only be
provided by a bond issue of approx
mately s2,000,000 Gosnen states, and
if the county should vote to withdraw
from the Byrd act and all Of the other
functions are continued as at present
It would be necessary to increase the
existing levy from $245 to S2.85 on the
500 valuation, as the interest on the
bonds would amount TO about 100000
annually.
Although l have previously taken
the stand" the statement says, that 1t
would be unWise for the county to re-
main within the provisions Of the So
called Byrd road act,' l have now
reached the conclusion that this is the
only possible means of making a SUM-
cient adjustment in our expenditures
to install sewers without assessing addt-
tionaI taxes. Our budget for roads for
the year beginning July amounts to
s228000, of which $4,000 would be fur
nished by our share Of the State gaSo-
line tax and the balance, $l63,0o0,
raised by local levies. If we vote out
of the Byrd act we would continue to
use all of these funds for the purpose of
building and maintaining roads under
the county system"
Sewerage System Necessary.
Gosnel declares that the county can
not properly develop without the sewer
age system and that many people are
turning away because of lack of this
improvement. He believes that the work
could be done more economically now
than at any time for the past several
years and that even If the county spent
a large amount of money in building
up a road system at this time much of
the work would be destroyed when the
installation of sewers is finally started
"As I see it," GoSnen said, the peo-
pie must choose whether they should
get out of the Byrd act and indefinitely
postpone the installation of sewers, or
remain in the Byrd act and use the
money usually expended for roads to
provide sewers. The chairman OF the
State Highway Commission has assured
some of our citizens that he will do
everything possible to maintain our
roads as we'll as we are doing now.
know he is sincere in this and no doubt
has in mind materially increasing the
equalization fund, and Arlington County
will certainly get her share"
