FAIRFAX, Va, April 17.-Thirteen
applications for varianceS under the
county zoning ordinance were ap-
proved by the Fairfax County Board
of zoning Appeals at its first meet
ing yesterday.
One application for a variance,
that of c. L. Mohler for permission
to erect store on Lee highway at
Centreville, adjoining business
zone, was passed over until the next
meeting.
The board also refused to give
blanket approval for any varianceS,
since an amendment to the zoning
ordinance was to be sought that will
allow the zoning administrator to
pass on questions relating to var
iances where the deed to property
had been recorded before the ordi-
nance became effective.
VarianceS Approved.

Appeals Board Clerk Named.
Mrs. Louisa Dickey was elected
clerk of the Appeals Board to take
the place of E. Russell White, county
zoning administrator, who has been
serving in the post temporarily.
Meanwhile, several amendments to
the new county zoning ordinance
proposed by the County Planning
Commission were submitted to the
Fairfax County Board of Supervis-
ors at their meeting yesterday.
The proposed amendments were
referred to Commonwealth's Attor-
ney Paul E. Brown to draw up the
necessary resolutions and advertise
them for public hearing as required
by the zoning ordinance. Public
hearing was set for May on several
rezoning requests.
A draft of tentative plans for en-
largement of the courthouse building
was presented to the board, but in
view of the fact the plans would call
for larger expenditure than is now
available, the architects were re-
quested to submit complete plans for
each wing.
Joseph A. c. Fought, treasurer of
Falls Church Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, appeared before the board and
advised that the Falls Church de-
partment is answering all calls in
Fairfax County.
On his request the supervisors
voted to insure the Falls Church de-
partment at least $500 q year until
further action.
