given yesterday as explanation Of the

fertng. He said they were inflicted by

Its cargo and robbed him CT $500.
Policeman Reese said Mayhew de-
cllned to reveal the license numbers OF

ARLINGTON SEEKS
ROAD WORK FINISH
120 Men Employed to Insure

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
COURT, Va, June 20.-Arlington
County is employing 120 men in an
effort to insure completion of its street
improvement program before July /, as
provided in the Byrd road act, thereby
bringing to halt any work not being
done under contract, it was stated to-
day by County Manager Roy S. Braden.
This force OF men is one OF the
largest ever employed by the county on
street work and IS in direct contrast to
the situation that has existed ever since
the present county board took Office on
January /. Practically the entire road
force was dismissed at that time be-
cause of lack of funds.
Under the provisions Of the Byrd
Eoad act the county is prohibited from
spending any money on streets or roads
until after a vote on the question of
withdrawal has been held or, If no cleo
tion is held, no more money can be
spent at any time except under the
supervision of the State Highway Com
mission.
While the board is in favor of with
drawing from the Byrd plan and IS OF

withdrawal, it believes that the roads
and streets should be put in the best
condition possible in case the vote
should be against withdrawal In the
event that the county voted to remain
in the system. the board believes that
the streets might not receive the atten-
tion by the State that they deserve
COmmonWealths Attorney Lawrence
w. Douglas has ruled that any work
contracted for before the Byrd act be-
comes effective tomorrow may legally
continue after July /, but that the
county itself cannot do any more work
after that date. The present program
calls for the expenditure of between
100000 and $4,000.
