TO Be CONSIDERED
Revision of Fairfax County
Electrical Ordinance Also
Ready for Board.

FAIRFAX, Va, August IA com.
plete revision Of the county electrical
ordinance, and proposed ordinance
to prohibit the dumping of trash on
private property are scheduled for
consideration by the Fairfax County
Board Of Supervisors at the August
meeting Wednesday.
It was proposed to revise a por-
ton Of the present electrical ordinance
at recent meeting of the Board Of
Supervisors, but when the matter
came up for final action, 1t was de-
cided to revise the entire ordinance
since several Of its provisions were
considered practically obsolete by
County Inspector Franklin P. Sagen.

Sagendorf and Commonwealth
Attorney Paul E. Brown were re-
quested to draft new ordinance.
The electrical inspector said the new
ordinance will prescribe more rigid
standards for the wiring of build
ings and installation of electrical
equipment.
1t was explained the ordinance will
not prevent any person from doing
his own work, but will insure that
those who are employed to do such
work will be qualified.
While there is State law in force
prohibiting trespassing on private
property, 1t was believed advisable at
the last board meeting to have a
local ordinance to prevent the dump
ing Of trash on private property. Com
monwealth's Attorney Brown was re-
quested to present view as to the
constitutionality Of such an ordinance.
and If in his opinion the ordinance
would be constitutional, to draft one
for consideration.

Photostats Supplied.
The Division of Maps supplies pho
tostats of maps to congressional COM
mittees for q variety of purposes as
well as to individual members of Con-
gress, historical societies and genealo-

average cost Of from so to go cents,

which bear their family names.
The resources Of the division have
been extensively used by those direct

W. J. Rowe
 Died of Heart
 Attack Today

The death of w. J Rowe, old timer, and pioneer transfer man of Nome, at 8 A. M. today at his home, came as a distinct shock to his many friends in Nome.
 Death was caused by heart failure. Following MT. Rowes completion of the transfer of the dredge from Solomon to Nugget Gulch for Clyde White, MT. Rowe suffered a partial stroke of para lysis from which he has never recovered.
 While able to be about town. and in many ways somewhat im- proved, MT. Rowe has never been able to work since then Heart felt sympathy goes out to Mrs. ". J. Rowe, in her bereavement at the death of her husband.
 MT. Rowe, who is survived by his widow here. and married daughter, Margaret, in Seattle, was one of the first large trans fer and hauling concerns in Nome in the early days and to him goes the credit for some of the largest hauling jobs of that time.
 Funeral arrangements will be under the auspices of the Mason ic Lodge June llth. It is believed MT. Rowe has been a member of the Masonic order, the Moose, Pioneers of Alaska, and Eagles.

Sc STRAIGHT-3 FOR s5c

There has been considerable criti.
cism made lately, much of it pre-

tice Of wholesalers selling goods at a
lower unit price TO large BUYERS.
This criticism has largely stemmed
from debate over the pros and cons
Of the chain store system.
Such a practice IS simply good
business. When a buyer, for exam
pie, buys thousand cases of canned
lrult instead Of merely ten cases, the
unlt cost to the seller OF CARRYING
on the transaction is greatly reduced.
Shipping charges are lowered. there
IS less handling expense. boOkkeep-
ing work Is minimized. wasted sales
eHOrl IS avoided. and so on. II is
Dhly natural that some of the saving
