have been recommended for ap-

Mr. Ryan explained that the dep
uties will be trained to inspect COM
mercial establishments for fire haz-
ards and report to Mr.. Centrum.
Similar action is being taken by
the 13 fire companies in Montgom-
cry County. Irving w. johnson,
president of the County Volunteer
Firemens Association, said the
names of those recommended for
appointment will be certified by
him shortly and presented to Mr..
Gantrum for final approval.

Two Schools, County
Office at Rockville
Affected by Order

Conversion Of heating plants at
two Montgomery County schools
and the new County Office Build.
ing in Rockville from oil to coal has
been authorized by the county
commissioners.
The schools are the Leland Junior
High In Bethesda and the Silver
Spring Intermediate School. DR..
Edwin w. Broome, county superin-
tendent of schools, told the commits
sioners yesterday that the move was
caused by the fuel oil shortage. He

charge of school property, the two
schools are the only ones in the
county which burn oil.
Parts Assured.
He said county officials had been
assured that they would receive the
necessary parts for the conversion.
The parts are expected to be sent
within the next three weeks, and
the work of converting the furnaces
completed in two weeks after that.
While one of the two motors in
the oil furnace at the Leland School
is defective, Mr.. Davis said he hoped
to have it repaired by the end Of
the Christmas holidays.
Mr.. Davis said the two schools
will continue to hold classes during
the conversion. Each of the schools
has two oil burners. he explained,
and one Of the two burners will be
converted at time.
The new County Office Building
houses the Board of Education and
the Health Department. Other
agencies will be transferred to the
building soon.

On Alexandria
Rezoning Plea
Long-Sought Project
Brings Tie Vote
In Council

Another public hearing on the
application Of j. Dreifus g. Sons to
rezone the northwest corner of
Prince and Union streets to E indus
trial zone has been set for January
rs by the Alexandria City Council
As the result of tie vote last night
on motion to rezone the property.
With one member absent, the
Council was deadlocked, four-to-
four, and although the rules of the
Council provide for the defeat of a
motion In the event of a tie vote, a
subsequent motion for a rehearing
was passed.
Led by Judge Prentice Burlington,
residents of the 100 block of Prince
street have waged a long battle
against the rezoning. First passed
some time ago over the protests of
a delegation of Prince street prop
erty owners, the matter was re-
opened three weeks ago when Judge
Edrington protested that signs ad-
vertising the proposed rezoning had
not been properly posted.
ArnGld's Name on Protest.
At that time the Council voted to
hold another public hearing, which
took place last night, with Judge
Edrington again voicing the protests
OF the residents. Judge Darlington
said he had added the name of
Assistant Attorney General Thur
man Arnold, new resident of the
neighborhood to the list of protest.
ing property owners, and that busi-
ness had prevented MIR. Arnold from
being present.
After hearing petitions from the
American Legion and its auxiliary
In favor of 10 o'clock curfew law
Tor children under Is, the Council
voted to have an open discussion of
the matter at the January 26 meet
ing. Representatives of civic groups
will be invited.
The request of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co. to change the
name of Belvoir road in the Park
fairfax subdivision to Preston road,
because there is a Belvoir road in
another nearby development, was
granted.
The sum of $131 was appropriated
to pay medical expenses of Police
man Benjamin F. Swami, who was
shot in arresting a man several
weeks ago.
Annexation Proposal.
Preliminary to an executive ses-
sion for final passage of the 1943
budget, the Council heard a re-
quest from Martin Greene, secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce,
for inclusion in the budget of funds
to finance survey to determine the
possibilities of annexation Of a por-
tion OF Fairfax County.
The chamber has favored such an
annexation, and Mr.. Greene said
he had been informed that bills
would be presented in the next ses-
sion OF the State Legislature to ban
future annexations.
He said he believed that Alex
andria should consider the need of
bringing in new business after the
war, adding that the present limits
of the city make establishment of
new industrial enterprises impossible
because of lack of space.
Councilman Eugene Simpson ex-
pressed the belief a survey would
not be necessary to prove that the
city did not have the facilities to
handle larger population, citing
effects of the recent flood on the
sewer system as an example.
