Reports Progress
On County Survey
To Board Members

A maximum population of at least
100000 inhabitants for Arlington
County tVa) was predicted last
night by Jacob Crane, planning con-
sultant of Washington. at an infor-
NAL conference with members of
the County Board.
Mr.. Crane, who has been en-
gagged by the board to expedite
preparation of a master plan of de-
velopment for the county, gave a
summary of the preliminary work
he has done and indicated that be-
cause of the County's progress in its
planning work. the cost of his serv-
ices may be less than was originally
anticipated.
Chew Pleased by Progress.
While last nights report was gen.
eral in nature, Chairman F. Free
land Chew of the board declared
he was pleased with the progress
made and expressed the hope that
the plan would be ready for public
hearings by the latter part of De-
cember. Mr.. Chew gave assurance
that number of hearings would be
held dealing with all aspects of the
master plan.
Your present zoning plan will
accommodate the full anticipated
population of the county" Mr.. Crane
told the board, The residential
areas and regulations are sufficient
as whole, even though it may be
necessary to rearrange these areas
somewhat to make them more log
tcal and consistent.
Arlington County propably will
reach a population of 100000 to
100000, about four times the pres
ent population 1t is not possible to
make a precise prediction, but we
believe that the maximum popula-
ton will be nearer 100000 than
100000.
Your present zoning plan. built
up with normal types of develop
ment, will accommodate around
250000 or 100000 people"
