ing the many new subdivisions in the
county. with other apartments, minor
structures and home additions round
ing out the total.
With the promised early completion
of Lee Boulevard and the proposed
construction of a new roadway from
Clarendon to Arlington Junction, the
prospect of new subdivisions along
these routes is certain, according to
realtors.
C. w. Clever, president of the Alex
andria -Arlington-Fairfax Real Estate
Board, today expressed himself as con-
fdent that 1886 would see an even
greater amount of building activity in
Arlington County than was undertaken
during the present year. He pre-
dicted that the trend toward small
individual homes, clearly apparent this
year, would be even more notlceaoie
during the coming twelvemonth.
Survey Due Next Year.
Mr.. Clever also called attention to
a survey to be undertaken early in the
new year by the Virginia Insurance
Rating Bureau, for the purpose OF
rerating all property in Arlington
County. The new property ratings. to
be printed in booklet form for dis
tribution Immediately following COM
pletion of the survey. will prove a
! source of much needed information
! to the county realtors, he said.
! Members of the new County Board,
who take Office January /, have also
declared that a reassessment of prop
erty in the county is one OF the flrst
matters they will consider.
| For the first time in the county's
! history there is now available a re-
Gently completed plat book, giving
the location of all county properties,
/ the new street names and numbers
| and location of sewers, water mains
and State and lateral highways, to-
gether with information as to which
streets have been improved.
This plat book will be used by
| agents of the Insurance Rating Bu-
reau in making their survey, and the
Real Estate Board has urged all
county residents to lend cooperation
by displaying the new street numbers
on their homes before the first of the
year.
Second Unit Progresses.
Officials of the Ring Construction
Co. of Washington, builders of the
Colonial village development, have
announced that the second and largest
unit, now under construction, will be
partially ready for occupancy by
April.
The new unit will occupy 81 acres
west of the first section on Wilson
boulevard, midway between Rooslyn
and Clarendon. The new buildings
will contain 462 apartment units of
three to five rooms each and will oc-
cupy only 20 per cent of the ground
area. The surrounding land will con-
stitute park.
A chain drug store, now nearing
completion in Clarendon. will be
opened on or before the first of the
year, and 1t is reported that "5-
and-10" chain and a new moving

one of the prettiest and best
liked girls ever to tap a type

in behalf of Federal workers,
it was revealed today.
Mrs. Hermine Samburg, who
for four years has worked as a
bookkeeper for the National

leaves for Columbus, Ohio, on
April %. Her husband, a local
jeweler, will go into business in
that city.
Hermine, "born and raised"
in the District Of Columbia and
a graduate of Central High

tive. A creamy complexion,
slender figure, and brown eyes
are some of her personal attri-
butes, and she's extremely pop
ular with her colleagues.
Formerly a Veterans Admin
istration employe, Mrs. Sam.
burg said today that she's
'sorry to leave Washington"

work outside her home when
she takes up her residence in
