Arlington Sees End
OF Water SHORTAGE
Within Five Days
New Government Line
Will Supply Needs
At GrovelIy Point

The Arlington County Water De-
partment today predicted an end
within five days to the water short
age. which caused a deluge Of phone
calls late Monday
The Water Department reported
the situation had greatly improved
within the last "a hours. In con-
trast to Monday, when many homes
in the Oakcrest and Columbia Pike
areas were left without water and
other sections reported low pres
sure, no complaints were received
last night during the danger period
A pm. to 8 pm.
A. T. Lundberg, water engineer,
said completion of a 16-inch ex-
tension water line from main gov
ernment conduit on Arlington Ridge
road to Columbia Pike would relieve
the situation by Monday.
Arlington County Manager Frank
C. Hanrahan yesterday attributed
the water shortage to unusual de-
mands for water service by the
Gravelly Point Airport, although Of
ficials there denied they were using
an abnormal amount of water.
The Government now owns To-
inch water conduit which crosses
into Virginia on Key Bridge to
supply the Arlington cantonment.
The 16-inch line now under con-
struction between the cantonment
and Columbia pike-a distance of
more than half a mile-will supply
Government water to the airport
and eliminate the necessity for the
airport to make large use of Arling-
tons water supply.
The 16-inch extension will connect
with a 12-inth conduit on Columbia
pike, which runs into the Jefferson
Davis highway and thence to Gravel
ly Point.
The Water Department said cur
tailed use of the county's supply dur
ing the last "a hours. coupled with
cooperation by county residents
with the county managers request
that water be used only in cases of
necessity, had alleviated the short
age.

ANNAPOLIS. May TN an ef-
fort to alleviate the reported short
age of technical help in the State
Roads Commission, Gov. O'Conor
has authorized II new positions in
the current commission budget.
The Governor took no action to
increase salaries of key men on the
State roads pay roll-which the
commission asserts is necessary to
keep them from going to better
paying jobs in private industry.
In request made to the Governor
several weeks ago the commission
asked for Sc new positions and for
salary increases for a number of en-
ployes. The commission then said
it had $l0,000,0OO in unspent funds
on hand, and that the money was
lying idle because its technical staff
was short-handed.
Since all money for the commits
sion comes from the gasoline tax
and motor vehicle funds, additional
expenditures for personnel can be
made by authorization of the Gov
ernor.

School Fund 10
Meet Influx
Mount Vernon Hiqh
Pressed by Pupils
In BeIvoir Area
Special Dispatch to The Star.


FAIRFAX, Va, May 7.-Unable to
borrow sufficient money from the
State literary fund at this time to
construct needed classrooms and
other facilities at the new Mount
Vernon High School, Fairfax County
school officials face serious problem
at the school next session unless
Federal defense funds are made
available. The school is near Fort
Belvoir.
At meeting of the School Board
yesterday Division Supt. w. T.
Woodson reported the State agency
has advised the county no more than
SAL .050 can be loaned on the Mount
Vernon plant because of a construc-
ton loan still in effect. Under the
law, it was explained, loan on a
single school plant from the State
literary fund cannot exceed $780,
600, and the county now owes ap-
proximately $50 900 on the plant.
Because of the heavy increase in
population in and around Fort Bel
voir, Supt. Woodson declared the
present plant cannot meet needs
next year unless defense funds are
provided The new school is already
filled to capacity and indications are
it will see large influx of new pupils
when the coming session starts.
1000 More Pupils Expected.
In addition to claSSroomS, it WIS
the plan of school officials, if literary
funds had been available, to con-
struct gymnasium and auditorium
A study made by school officials on
the effect of the defense program
locally indicated the enrolment
might jump as much as 1000 next
session.
A delegation from Fairfax High
School Association told the board
yesterday that an item of $1,000 set
up for shop at the local high school
might not be sufficient.
A survey of pupils, the School
Board was told, shows approximately
$50 want vocational courses next
year, and it is expected the high
school will enroll nearly 1000 pupils
next session. The board was also
warned that the present temporary
annex at the high school houses all
shop and home economics equip
ment and a fire would result in a
heavy loss.
Summer Session Backed.
Those speaking from the associa-
ton included H. H. Ankers. Mrs.
James U. Kincheloe and Tommy
Adams.
Tentative plans for a summer ses-
sion at Fairfax High School were
/ approved by the board, and permis-
sion was given Harold F. Weller. who
will be principal of the school. for
the use of three school buses to
transport pupils.
Students will pay a small fee for
riding the buses, so that there will
be no cost to the county, and drivers
will come from the faculty of the
! summer session.
A delegation from Lee-Jackson
School, near Alexandria. requested
/ the School Board to purchase an
additional playground at that school.

Underpass at Dupont Circle.
An underpass is planned at Du-
pont Circle, where at present it is
impossible for the volume of traf-
fic to pass. This is 10-point in
tersection, with two heavy streams
of traffic. supplemented by feeder
streets. A similar structure is pro-
posed under Washington Circle,
where K street will be placed un-
derground, while third the tun-
mel for Sixteenth street under Scott
Circle, is 40 per cent complete.
Other grade separation structures
will be placed at Fifteenth and
Benning road, at New York and
West Virginia avenues. at Thir-
teenth street and New York ave-
nue. and at West Virginia, Mon
tana and New York avenues. all
points of heavy congestion Traf-
flc there is so great. it was ex-
planned, that the divided time of
stop-light cycles will not provide
sufficient opportunity for cars to
pass through without undue delay.
At New York avenue and Ninth
street the avenue will be tun-
neled under the street in connec-
tion with the approaches to the new
Ninth street bridge.
BY far the costliest phase OF
the grade separation program Is
caused by the great volume of
| traffic along K street. After much
study and considera ton. it was
determined finally that the only
solution would be to resort to ele-
waited and depressed highways.
Channelizations. according to Capt
Whitehurst, would result only in
congestion.
Bypass for NJ Street.
| The present grade separation
structure at K street and Rock
Creek was designed to take a super
structure that would give access to
an elevated highway. Such a high
way is planned in the new program
as a bypass for M street in George
town, now one of the most congested
arteries of the District.
This bypass would start with a
depressed highway along K street
Just west of Connecticut avenue
and would connect with the overpass
at Rock Creek and Potomac Park
way. From there it would con-
tinue as ain elevated street, pass
ing under Key Bridge and having
suitable interchange roads thereto
1t would continue across the c. &
o. Canal and connect with widened
Canal road, providing direct con-
nection to Canal road to the west,
to Conduit road and to Foxhall

Major streets will be bridged over
the depressed highway, each of
these spans costing an estimated
$4,000. Capt. Whitehurst said he
was unable to predict at present
