Board Ex-Chairman
AHests Agreement
On Boulevard zoninq
n. A. Fellows Says
Definite UNDERSTANDING
Was in Force

While a controversy continued
today over whether there was ever
a "gentlemen's agreement between
Arlington County (VaD oflicials
and Federal agencies to maintain
Lee boulevard for residential use,
futher evidence has come to light
showing there was such an agree
ment.
Harry A. Fellows of East Falls
Church, former chairman and
member Of the first county board
after the passage of the county
manager act, confirmed such an
understanding. Mr. Fellows served
on the County Board from 1882 to
1896.
There was an expressed agree
ment that if the Government would
put up the necessary money, we
would hold this roadway for resi-
DENTAL USE" Mr.. Fellows said.
Rezoning Stirs Dispute.
The controversy was renewed
following the County Boards action
last Monday in rezoning to local
business tract at Lee boulevard
and Pershing drive. Two board
members expressed moral obli-
cation" to oppose this rezoning
because of an understanding with
Federal authorities.
Meanwhile another former board
member. Fred A. Gosnell, said
that while in that Office he could
not recall an agreement with Fed
eral authorities but that previously,
when he was chairman of the
County zoning Board, the members
of this latter group believed the
proposed route of Lee boulevard
would be maintained as residential.
The Zoning Board at that time
recommended this action. which was
carried out between 1890 and 1882,
he said.
More organized citizens added
their voice last night to other groups
that have protested the County
Boards action last Monday.
Members of the Glen Carlyn Citi-
zens' Association unanimously voted
to "restate our former expressed
position that we are opposed to zon-
ing Of any property along Lee boule-
ward other than residential "A, and
ask the County Board to reconsider
and reverse its action in rezoning
the property at Lee boulevard and
Pershing drive"
Other groups that have taken SIM
liar action since Monday include the
