VANDALS DESTROY
$1,000 IN BULBS.
Destruction of Lights Along
Mount Vernon Highway
Raises a Problem.

Vandalism along the Mount Vernon
Memorial highway has resulted in the
destruction of around 81 900 worth Of
electric light bulbs and globes. ON
cials said yesterday.
Congress has provided funds for
lighting the highway only for three
months of the fiscal year. C. Marshall
Finnan, superintendent Of the Ma
tional Capital Parks, said the lights
will be turned on In April.
But the question is: Who is going to
pay for the broken bulbs and globes?
The lighting system was operated
for only short time after the high
way was constructed. Due to lack of
money it has remained dark for sew
eral years. When 1t was in opera
Gtion the Virginia Public Service Co.
OF Alexandria, Va, had an agreement
with the Government to operate the
lights from Reaches Run to the en-
trance to the Mount Vernon estate.
while the Potomac Electric Power Co.
furnished electricity for the lights from
Columbia Island to Reaches Run. On
cials explained that under the oper-
ating agreements, the power compa-
nies replaced broken glassware. But
now that there has been no lighting
for some time it is IAN open question"
as to who will foot the bill for the
vandalism.
Mr.. Finnan said yesterday the bulbs
and globes under the Jurisdiction of
the Federal Government were taken
down and placed in storage. He said
all bulbs and globes on the wooden
posts were under the Governments iu-
risdiction, while most of those on the
metal posts we're under the Virginia
Public Service Co.
From the Virginia public utility,
however. came the statement that all
lamps and equipment between Alex
andria and Reaches Run are owned
by the Government. and that all Ak
lures between Alexandria and Mount
Vernon have been taken down.
The bulbs and globes not taken down
became inviting targets for small bows
with slingshots-and others. Periodi-
cally the glassware on the poles has
been smashed. but most of the damage
is believed to have been done around
Halloween.
There are 436 poles from Reaches
Run to the entranc1of the Mount
Vernon estate, and these. Government
ofhcials said, were serviced by the Vir-
ginia Public Service Co. Between Co.
lumbia Island and Reaches Run there
are SO poles and these we're serviced
by the Potomac Electric Power Co.
No accurate count is officially avail
able OF the number of bulbs and globes
that we're broken.
