FIELDS UNDERF|RE
OF CITIZENS UNIT
Arlington Sheriff Criticized
for Failure to Answer
Letter on Police.
&, staff Correspondent of The Star.

By Staff Correspondent of The Star
ARLINGTON, Va, August Ii
Sharp criticism of Sheriff Howard B.
Fields was voiced today in an open let
ter to him from the Colonial Village
Civic Associations Tenant Manage
ment Committee, whose members
charged him with violating his duty
and his trust" in allegedly ignoring
correspondence from the association.
According to today's communication
the sheriff failed to answer letters
seeking a conference on the question
of adding an officer to his force. The
Colonial Village management the let
ter said has offered to engage and
pay the salary of an officer, to be at
tached to the sheriff's staff, for service
In the village.
Says Duty Violated.
The open communication said in
part:
1T is unfortunate that public SER
want does not fully appreciate the re-
sponsibilities of his Office and the al
legiance which he owes his constitu-
ents. Especially does he violate his
duty and his trust when he inexcusably
ignores two letters from chosen repre-
sentatives Of the residents of Colonial
Village requesting the privilege of con-
ferrlng with him on a matter affecting
the safety and Well-being of the COM
munity.
1T was thought that this plan
would aid in solving the policing
problem of a concentrated popula-
ton Of approximately 5000 people who
constitute about 8 per cent of the
total population of Arlington County
To this end, two letters were ad-
dressed to you, one dated June l8, the
other June 80, requesting the privi-
leee of conferring with you on this
subject. For reasons best known to
yourself, you failed to reply and by
your silence obviously declined the
offer
Fields Doesn't Care.
"On August 2. 1887, letter was
addressed to you by Mr. Horton S.
Allen, jr., chairman of the Safety
Committee of the association. He re-
quested some figures relative to traffic
accidents in Arlington County. Not
Vlthstanding the fact that this is pub
lie information which should be sup
Piled without question. you have not
extended the courtesy OF reply.
BY refusing to respond to the
Aforesaid letters, or to confer with
their proponents, you have clearly
shown spirit incompatible with the
high office you hold. To the residents
OF Colonial Village who rely upon
you for the protection of their lives
and property and for the maintenance
OF law and order, you owe the duty
OF conferrlng with their representa-
tives"
Asked to make statement concern
Ing the letter, Fields replied: Il am
gong to run my office as I see fit.
Nobody is going to dictate to me. I
don't care about the letter"

LOS ANGELES, August 11.-Donald
Douglas president of the Douglas Air

Douglas said a gigantic bombing

forced landings in a series of test
flights, that the engine was dis

he said was practiced as a threat to

Finally, We are in q position COM

the only question is-where do we

Fortunately, as of September, 1887,
this question can still be answered
with some accuracy because the build
ing market is still behaving with con-
siderable nationality. Building has
progressed something less than half
way up the usual recovery curve. La
ter on, about two-thirds of the way
up the curve, the building market en-
ters on its true boom stage and the
only safe prediction that can be made
about the building market is that it

Must Look to Rent Increase.
What the market needs" the Forum
survey finds. is lower construction
costs or higher rents. But construc-
ton costs, unfortunately, are relatively
immune to regressions at this stage
Of the business cycle" AS for labor,
in the plant and in the means Of dis
tribution the price of work is being
strongly pegged at current levels by
union contracts. At the site-ir1 the
form of building trade unions-labor
is now sitting pretty on the stiffest
Spring contracts negotiated in seven
years, while non-union labor has hiked
its rates in sympathy.
1T appears then that the United
States builder must look to a rise in
rentals for the answer to his prayers.
AT this stage of the building cycle the
chief factors influencing rents are
increases in population, shifts in pop
ulation and more and higher wages.
Increasing population is a constantly
operating factor which we need OBJ
serve here only that 1t is very much
in existence
Shifting population Is charac-
teristic experience of booms and de-
pressions. At the onset of the last
boom better than 100000 people
moved from farms to cities; in 1882
better than 250,000 went back to the
farms, and in 1885 the movement had
again reversed and more than 375,0o0
were streaming back to the cities.
