Ballot Believed
To FAVOR 8 Am.
Federal W0rkH Hour
Secretary Ickes Calls
Attention to Extra
Recreation Time.

II Secretary Ickes follows the wishes
Of his employees in the Public Works
Administration and Interior Depart
ment, as indicated so far, they will be
coming to work at 8 am. this Summer
instead of 8.
Preliminary unofficial reports Of the
balloting on the proposal, which closes
Wednesday, indicate the Public Works
Administration has voted for the
earlier starting hour, and that the
Bureau of Reclamation has done like
wise. The new schedule would be
from June to September 80.
Speaking of the proposed schedule,
Secretary Ickes in the printed ballot
says:
THE advantages Of the latter ar
rangement would be extra time for
recreation and the avoidance of traffic
congestion. In order that the action
taken may be a true representation
Of the majority, every employe will be
furnished q copy Of this memo
randum."
When Lieut.. Col. U. s. Grant, Sd,
was director of public buildings and
public parks here, he tried to initiate
stagger system for Government
workers to relieve the traffic situation,
but this effort came to naught. Al.
though Secretary Ickes has jurisdic-
ton over most Of Washington's public
buildings, the present balloting touches
only his own department..

ARLINGTON PARK
FUND IS ASSURED
Money to Be Borrowed for
George Washington
Project.
BY q stan Correspondent of Tn. Star.


ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
May 19.-In view of the fact that six
weeks will be required to secure the
first of the Public Works Administra-
ton money, for which application has
been made, it is expected that Airing
ton County will have to borrow funds
for the first unit of the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway in order to
take advantage of the State approprl-
alton, which expires on June 80, 1t
was stated today.
In order to secure the State ap-
preparation, amounting to sl7.500
after general fund cuts, the County
Board had agreed to take a similar
amount from its contingent fund,
after this had been replenished by
public works money in payment OF
the sewerage survey costs already
advanced from county funds. If it
takes six weeks to secure the first of
these funds. however. the board will
be without the sl7,50O at the close of
the fiscal year
Parkway Is Safe.
There is no reason to fear for the
safety of the parkway as a result Of
the long delay in securing the sever
age money, 1t was stated today by
Chairman Lyman M. Kelley Of the
County Board, since under the law
the county can borrow any money
which can be repaid during the fiscal
year of the loan.
Under the terms Of the Capper-
Cramton act, the Federal Govern
ment will match State and local funds
tor the purchase of the land. In 1882
the Virginia General Assembly voted
an appropriation of 1925. 900. contin-
gent upon its being matched hv
Arlington County, and the total NJ
the State and county appropriations
being matched by the Federal Cow
eminent.
June 50 Is Deadline.
Since all appropriations in Virginia
die unless expended during the bien-
| mum for which they are made, it has
become necessary for the county to
produce its share of the funds by
June 30.
An additional appropriation Of
$500 was made by the last General
Assembly to make up the cut made by
former Gov John Garland Pollard,
and the County Board has fixed
levy for the coming year to raise
like sum. Both will become available
on July /, making a total, when
matched by the Federal Government,
of 100000 for purchase Of the land
for the first unit of the parkway.
