COUNTY GETS
$4,000 FOR
RECREATION

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, June 15.-Among expendi-
lures to be made by the county
board Of commissioners, as voted
at the regular meeting of that
body here Saturday, will be $4,000
for the supervision and operation
OF summer Fairgrounds located on
the various school grounds
throughout the county.
Members of the Organized
Women Voters, who requested the
appropriation, also urged the COM
misSionerS to look around for de-
sirable sites in the county which
could be developed as parks and
Fairgrounds, and either purchase
or obtain obptionS on them.
Meeting Soon
County Manager Frank Hanra-
han and officials of the women'S
organization will meet soon to dis
cuss appropriations to be made
for the Fairgrounds. Holders of
large quantities of real estate in
the county will also be approached
on donating portions of land for
parks.
A contract for $38,504 was
awarded MCGUIRE and Rolfe, Of
Washington, D. c., for the widen
ing and replacement of macadam
with concEete on Wilson Boule-
ward. from Clarendon to Ballston.
This product, according to County
Engineer C.. L. Kinnier, will cost
about $4,000 to complete with all
expenses, such as rights-of-way,
to be added to the contract price
for the work. The difference in
the $50 600 appropriation made
for the project, and the estimated
total cost of $4,000 will be drawn
from the contingent fund, Mr.. Kin
nier explained.
State Donates
An unexpected appropriation to
be made to the county by the
State was gratefully accepted by
the commissioners here. This
appropriation, totaling $4,000, for
the fiscal year beginning July l,
will be used to increase the salary

health officer, by $500, to add to
the assistance in DR.. Chichester's
office, and to pay an assistant to
DR.. Chichester to help with max
ing the annual examination of
school children. The appropria-
ton Is being made by the State
Health Department, as is done
with other counties throughout
the State.
Members of the board were told
by a representative of the county
Civic Federation that the Division
of Motor Vehicle of Virginia was
considering a request from the
federation to station another
State trooper in this area.
In order to give the new county
manager time to better acquaint
himself with the county, nine re-
quests for rezoning of properties
were ordered held over until the
meeting of June 30.
other business that was car
ried over in order to permit Mr..
Hanrahan to study them more
thoroughly included the possible
sale of a piece of county property
in Clarendon to an individual, the
amount of money that the county
should appropriate for county re-
lief in conjunction with the State
relief funds, and the acceptance of
a privately owned storm sewer sys-
tenn in Ashton Heights.

The accidents figures for December
were also made public for the first
time today, thus making it possible
to arrive at the totals for the entire
year. The, December figures show
that 115' persons were killed and 722
injured in SCI accidents. In Decem-
Der 1884, total of 1T persons were
killed and $50 injured in 478 acct
dents.
While officials of the Department
of Revenue and the Division OF High
way Safety are not pleased at the
accident record for the year, they do
find some satisfaction in the fact that
accidents and fatalities have decreas-
ed somewhat during the past two
months from the all-time high set in
October when 131 were killed and 754
in iured in $40 accidents 1t is further
pointed out that the enlarged high
way patrol did not get out on the
roads until September, that OF the
100 men about so were new recruits

that only within the last month or SO
has the enlarged patrol really started

called to the fact that the new drlv-

] quota of 100 rehabilitation families
i has been assigned to Vance County.
! Under the rehabilitation program
! loans and practical supervision are
extended for the purchase of seed,
! fertilizer and equipment to enable inn
pOverished farm families TO get on
their feet again. These are the fami-
! lies who are in an emergency Sltua-

| booklet describes the method 10y
which these rehabilitation families
arc in an emergency situation and
must be given a chance to help them
selves Immediately. The booklet de-
scribes the method by which these
rehabilitation families are assisted.
The resettlement phase is described
as more permanent part of the pro-
gram. 1t is based ON the fact that
There is plenty Of good land and that
il is a social and economic waste to
continue to cultivate Improbable
acreage.
In the resettlement phase two kinds
Of projects are undertaken. One has
to do with acquiring poor land areas
or lands unSuited to successful aGrl-
culture and developing them for the
purposes to which they are best adapt
ed The other has to do with acqulI~
ing good land areas and developing
them into model farmSteadS. The
first are called Land Utilization Pro
jects. The second are called Rural
Resettlement or Agricultural Reset
Element Communities. A table gives
the name and location of twenty Land
Utilization Projects in Region ~
which have been approved for pur
chase and development involving to-
tai of 4O2, 634 acres of land at cost
of $3,3SS 1919 and a total development
cost of $5526136 A daily average of
1885 men will be employed on these
projects.
AS to the Rural Resettlement Com
munity Projects, the booklet stated
that plans have been prepared and
submitted to the Administration for
forty-two Agricultural Resettlement
Community Projects for Region vi
involving 219,121 acres of land and the
construction of 1926 farmsteads; and
that preliminary approval has been
given on twelve of these projects,
comprising a total of 7O,86S acres and
providing farmsteads for 1896 farm

the period of construction, of an aver
age of 1925 laborers.
