Alexandra City Board
Moves TO Reclaim
Friendship Firehouse
Renovation Of Property
For School Boord Use
Under Consideration

The Alexandria City Council last
night instructed the city manager
and city attorney to take steps to-
ward return to the city of the
Friendship Fire Engine, House on
South Alfred street.
The property has been loaned to
the fire company which uses it to
store a replica of the famous Friend
ship engine and other relics of the
company in which George Wash
mgton was volunteer.
The building has been allowed to
deterlorate, it was said, and the
council is considering renovating it
for use as a school board office, fol-
lowing a communication from the
superintendent of schools asking
for permission to rent space for
larger quarters
Since plans for the enlargement of
the City Hall have been shelved until
after the war, all of the city Offices
are crowded for space. City Man
ager Carl Budwesky said he be-
heved moving of the school board
office would make it possible to give
badly needed additional space to
the Civil and Police Court.
The council approved the report
of the Legislative Committee of the
League of Virginia Municipalities
which is to be presented to the
league convention in Roanoke Sep
tember 1928.
Principal item covered in the re-
port is the recommendation that ad-
dltlonal revenue from license taxes
be made available to cities and
towns by reallocation of taxes be-
tween the Commonwealth and the
localities, giving cities. towns. and
counties the right to collect all the
revenue taxes without increasing the
total amount of the tax now paid
to the State and city.
In addition, with a view to post
war planning, the committee rec
commended an airport zoning law to
permit cities and towns to restrict
building which would interfere with
the operation of airports outside or
inside corporate limits, and to per-
nit the extension of police power
of the municipalities to such air
ports.
Other items in the report included
legislation to increase State allo-
cations for support of public schools,
permission for appointment of per-
manent boards of assessors in cities.
clarification of planning and zoning
laws and amendment of the State
retirement act to permit cities and
towns to purchase their way into
the State system.

Advance Gifts Division
Drafts Plans for
War Fund Drive
Workers Told of Need
For Greater Sacrifice
Due to War Demands

The advance gifts division of the
Community War Fund met for the
first time yesterday to plan solicita-
ton for large gifts before the gen.
eral Community War Fund drive
for $4,800,0 900 begins next month.
Under the direction of Abbot P,
Mills, chairman of the division,
workers divided up about thousand
names of prospective contributors.
The workers filed around large
table to choose names of at least
eight persons-they were willing to
solicit. In addition to the 1000
prospective contributors discussed
yesterday, many more have already
been assigned to members of the
division by the fund staff.
Greater Demand for Relief.
Citing the large sum sought this
year, Coleman Jennings, president
of the fund, declared, This cannot
be done without sacrifice"
He said the increase over last
years s4,000,000 is due to greater
demand for United Nations relief
and greater need for recreation and
guidance for servicemen and their
families at home
Emphasizing that he knows the
heavy drain made on District pock-
etbooks by purchase of War bonds,
higher taxes and rising cost of liv-
ing, Mr.. Jennings declared, Think
of the demands for sacrifice by the
serviceman"
He advised his workers to make
this answer to any one complaining
Of the heavy expenses he may face.
In the District, he said, the guild
ance and family services are being
taxed by numbers of families strug-
Cling with war conditions. Juvenile
delinquency also. he said, must be
curbed by vigorous support of such
agencies as the Young Mems and
Young Women's Christian Associa-
tions, and the Boys Clubs.
Calls Group strongest"
Members of the advance gifts di-
vision this year, Mr. Jennings said,
are the strongest group he re-
members since the start of the
original Community Chest drives.
The workers, he said. face many
joys land disappointments" as they
begin work on the drive
The division will meet again next
Tuesday at 1890 pm. at the United
States Chamber of Commerce, to
get kits of information from the
fund and to receive a typed list of
contributors they have agreed to
visit.
AS an economy move. the fund has
shifted its luncheons from hotels to
the Chamber of Commerce Hall of
Flags. Box lunches will be prepared
each week at the cost of 80 cents or
less by the Federation of Church
Women, under the direction of Mrs.
Theodore Wedel.
