ommendStion of John A. Boyce. jr,

The board denied an application
for the rezoning of large tract OF
land on Seminary road near the

berg and Daniel E. Clarke. A num-
Der of persons appeared, at the board
meeting against the proposed re-
coming. and several letters had been
received by the board.
Objections Voiced.
Among the objections expressed
were that with a possible 900 dwell
ings on the property, a greatly con-
gested area would result with pos
sible danger of soil pollution unless
a highly efficient central sewage
plant were installed and that there
is not a sufficient water supply to
provide proper fire protection.
The board approved three other
applications for rezoning and two
others were withdrawn when it was
round that the Board of Zonlng
| Appeals will grant varianceS on lots
in subdivisions that were laid out
before the ordinance became effec-
tive where lots fail to conform in
size to the minimum requirements
of the regulations.

ALEXANDRIA. Va. June ia
census of all defense workers in
Alexandrias rapidly rising popula-
ton will begin tomorrow when 10
City Council-paid census takers are
scheduled to begin a house-to-house
canvass.
These workers. college students
working for the summer, will cover
the entire city, bearing identiflca-
ton cards. The census may be COM
pleted in about six weeks.
The canvassers, who will be under
the orders of Mrs. Ellen Harper,
w. P. A. clerical projects director
here. are Betty B. Lanham. Stephen
Davis. Charles F. Andrews, jr.: Betty
Louise Martin, Anne P. Decoss
Oliver A. Ryder. jr.; Mary M Miller
and Ruth Simms. Two others have
yet to be named.
Checked Against Facilities.
Mrs. Harper. in announcing the
defense census, said all workers al
the naval torpedo plant. Fort Bel
voir, on defense housing projects
and in any private industry holding
defense contracts. will be regarded
as national defense workers.
The figures obtained by the CEN
sus takers will be used in statistical
studies to determine if municipal
facilities here have become over
crowded by the influx of defense
workers. The 1910 census credited
Alexandria with a population OF
$4,000. although the city itself
claimed a $4,000 population. AT
present it has been estimated there
are 10000 persons making their
homes here. Three quarters of
this increase must be attributed
to the national defense effort, while
the remaining quarter are probably
due to natural growth.
City Council appropriated S70C
for expenses of the census at q
meeting several weeks ago Mrs
Harper has urged all residents to
give accurate information to the
canvaSSerS.
Recreation Program Asked.
Meanwhile, the Council of Social
Agencies, acting on a resolution
prepared by its recreation commit
tee, yesterday asked City Council
to institute a full-time recreation
program here to meet the needs
caused by population increases.
The council further urged the
city heads to develop adequate
physical facilities and to take i'm
mediate steps to put the recrea-
tional program into operation with
thought toward developing the plar
into a year around program for all
age groups after the emergency
subsidies.
The recreation committee de-
clared, in its report to the council
the rapid development of the build
ing of dwellings and other construc-
ton projects was constantly de-
creasing the availability of land fol
recreational purposes.

Commissioners Ready
To Ask Additional
Funds for D. {.
Supplemental Items Slated
To Be Submitted Today
To Senate Subcommittee
By J. A. O'LEARY.

The District Commissioners are
scheduled to submit to a Senate
Appropriations Subcommittee today
a revised list of supplemental items
which may be considered for addl-
ton to the s52,547 900 District sup
ply bill for the coming year.
The House reduced the budget
estimates by Sf05l 900 in order to
leave revenue cushion to take care
Oh unforeseen needs that usually
arise in deficiency bills later in the
year.
In their first appearance before the
Senate group yesterday the Com
missioners asked that only $3.50 .230
of the House cut be restored, still
leaving a $500 900 surplus for con-
tingencies on the basis of existing
taxes and the present $4,000 900
Federal payment.
Tax Hike Tentatively Agreed.
The supplemental items to be sub
mitted today, at the suggestion of
Subcommittee Chairman Overton,
are expected to consist of portion
of the s7,800000 program of i'm
provements the Commissioners drew
up last week for members of the
House District Committee. Any
such program. however, would call
for new financing. and the tenta-
tive plan discussed on the House
side was to add 81 100000 to the
Federal payment and raise the rest
through higher real estate and gas
taxes.
The Senate subcommittee, in ask
ing the city heads to 60 over that
list and submit projects they be-
ieve could be regarded as urgent
for the coming year, discussed infor-
mally the possibility of adding them
to the regular supply bill as new
Title 2.
Decision Held Up.
If the subcommittee, however,
adds any substantial amount above
81 900 900 to the House bill it will
confront the need of raising the
Federal share or increasing taxes.
No decision will be made until
all testimony is completed. some
time next week. The subcommittee
must move rapidly this year if the
new appropriations are to be en-
acted into law by July l, the begin
ming of the fiscal year.
