deed of trust for the transfer and
development of the property fol-

Ideal Loses Momentum.
The State received custody on
February 10, 1886, and according to
reliable source the Conservation
Commission expected to develop it
with the aid of the Civilian Con-
servation Corps as a wayside park
in connection with the Lee Boule-
ward. But on investigation, the park
area was found to be too small for
CCC Camp. Following acquisition
by the State some work was done
however. but after that the park
idea lost momentum.
1t was revived again In l943 when
Arlington County took steps to re-
gain it, receiving custody last De-
cember.
The recent transfer, made possible
by an act passed by the last ses-
sion of the State Legislature, was
a fortunate event because the phe-
nolnenal growth of Arlington Coun-
ty has created a necessity for larger
recreatlonal activities.

AS an aid to the Alexandria City
Council in its discussion of a budget

wesky, has prepared chart show
ing increases in departmental ex-
penses for the last five years.

tai revenues 68cc, the chart indi-
Gates the proportionate increases in
expenses of city departments.
The biggest jump, 246 per cent. is
in the recreation department
which in 1889 consisted only of
swimming pool and summer play
ground programs. Despite the use
of full-time recreation director
and expansion of the department to
its present size. officials still con-
slider it inadequate.
Construction Raises Costs.
Next largest increase is 1873 per
cent in the department of SANTA
ton. accounted for by the city's
growth and higher wage scales.
The office of the building inspec-
tor mas increased expenses 126 per
cent to handle the wartime building
boom; the city garage and repair
shop costs 124 per cent more to
operate now than in 1889.

Hearing Is SET
On zoning Plan
For Fairfax
/. Meeting Tomorrow .
At Courthouse on
Proposed Ordinance
proposed

The muCh-discussed proposed
Zohing ordinance for Fairfax
County will come up for a public
hearing at 10 am. tomorrow in the
courthouse at Fairfax The hear
ing has been arranged by the County
Board of Supervisors, and residents
from all sections of the county are
expected to attend.
The proposed ordinance, designed
to replace the present zoning
ordinance. has been under prepara-
ton by the County Planning COM
mission for nearly two years and
offers many changes from the exist
ing law, which was adopted March
l, le41. The measure was pre-
pared in accordance with a master
plan for the county.
Four Glasses of Districts,
Under the plan, the unincorpo-
rated area of the county will be
| divided into four classes of districts
agricultural; residential. sub
divided into five districts; COM
nercial, subdivided into three dis
! SAASlsoI anu ldAGul IllS.
One OF the most controversial
provisions of the ordinance is the
minimum lot size designated for
the agricultural district, which is
set at five acres. If adopted in it's
present form, land owners in the
agricultural district will not be per-
mitted III the future to sell any
parcel of lana under five acres.
The minimum lot areas in the
various residential districts run
from three dwellings per acre to two
acres. Various uses will be per-
mitted in the four divisions. the
most lenient being in the agricul-
tural district
To Regulate Size of Signs.
The ordinance also will regulate
the size Of signs or billboards, and
their distance from the public high
ways. The maXimlm size permitted
is 60. square feet. Lighting by red
or green lights is prohibited
Trailer camps and tourist courts
also would be regulated Of-street
parking must be provided for all
dwellings or business establishments.
Restrictions are also placed on side,
rear and front yards, and the
height of buildings.
The ordinance provides for a zon-
ing administrator and board of zon-
ing appeals, consisting of five mem
bers, as set up under the present
ordinance
1t is unlikely that the Board Of
Supervisors will adopt the ordinance
at once, but probably will defer
final action until next year in order
that further study can be given to
: the measure and some of the pro-
,, visions changed.
