COUNTY PLANS
DRIVE TOMAKE
ROADS SAFE

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Oct. 20.-Arlington county's
most hazardous road condition
now existing, according to several
county officials, is the Federal
road on the west, south and part
of the east side of the National
Cemetery and that portion of The
Federal road which runs through
the Washington airport.
With virtually all Of the county's
roads in at least a safe" condition
for travelling, pressure is expected
to be brought on Congress during
the early part of its next session
to have funds allocated to make
these roads safe for the heavy
traffic that uses them daily.
Efforts of the county officials
to have the Third Corps Area, U.
S. Army, repair the road resulted
in what appears to be shifting
the buck" between officials of the
Army. The request made by Ar.
lington county officials to the COM
mander at Fort Myer was for
waroed to Baltimore and back to
the War Department in Washing.
ton where it now remains.
Drive for Safety
In connection with a safety cam
paign now being conducted by
Sheriff Howard B. Fields, which
has resulted in speed signs being
erected on all county roads, scores
of reckless drivers brought into
court and fined, and accidents
generally reduced throughout the
county, the sheriff, in speaking of
the Federal roads, said:
"These roads are undoubtedly
the most hazardous ones in the
county. The steep drop on either
side of their shoulders is deep
enough in some places to wreck
any car that barely left the mar
row rOadbed. As for Washing.
ton Boulevard, which runs on
the South side of the cemetery,
it's a wonder that buses carry
ing loads of passengers would be
permitted to use this route. Why,
it's almost like crossing a bridge
without side rails.
Holds Valuable Roads
"The Federal Government
holds some of the most valuable
tax land in Arlington county
and does not pay the county or
State l cent tax, it seems that
the least they could do would be
to keep the roads in a safe con-
ditiOn. My police force can
stop reckless driving, but it
won't require reckless driving for
bad accidents on these roads.
The holes in them account for
more broken automobile springs
than all the bad spots on the
cOunty'S miles of road"
County officials pointed out
that sometime ago they offered
to take over the roads for 81 and
police and maintain them in a safe
condition, but the Federal Govern
ment refused to release them to
the county.
