ELECTIONS DUE
IN ARLINGTON

Three more elections face Ar
Engton county voters before the
close of 1888.
In addition to the general
election of November 7 at which
residents will vote on their choice
for Senator, governor and mem
Der of the house of delegates,
there will be two referendums, 1t
was apparent today.
Vote on the Byrd plan, under
which the streets and highways
of the county would be turned
over to the Virginia Highway
Commission for supervision and
maintenance, probably will be
held in late November. At present
there are 96 counties in Virginia
operating under the plan and
the recent legislative session en-
abled the other four to enter if
either the voters or the Board Of
Supervisors desired.
It is probable that a referen-
dunn on the proposed $2,500,000
sewer bond issue also will be
held next month. At present an
application of the county COM
miSsioners is before the Public
Works Administration in Wash
ington for loan of the money. If
this is approved the election will
be held as soon as possible there
after.
