Law Mapped
In Arlington
County Boord Names
3-Mon Committee
To Draw Ordinance

The Arlington County Board yes.
terday named a three-man com.
mittee to prepare an ordinance re-
quiring compulsory incubation Of
dogs, after such a move was recon-
mended by DR.. Ralph @. Beachley,
county health officer.
County Manager Frank C. Han
rahan, Commonwealth's Attorney
Lawrence Douglas and DR.. Beachley
were appointed to confer with local
veterinarians and work out ordi-
nance technicalities.
DR.. Beacfley said his recommen-
dation was based on his own opinion
and that of DR.. Karl Habel, United
States Public Health Service: DR.. H.
H. Henderson, Virginia Health De-
partment;; DR.. H. w. Schoening.
United States Agriculture Depart
ment, and DR.. A. l.. Brueckner, act
ing director of the Maryland State
Livestock Sanitary Service.
He said that compulsory inocula-
ton, which he claimed to be 80 per
cent effective, should be coupled
with the quarantine, and asked that
strict enforcement of the present
ordinance be continued.
DR.. Beachley made no recommen.
cations as to methods to be used,
but said he did not favor county.
payment of incubation fees. The
board discussed but did not decide
on mechanics of conducting the
program.
Board opinion divided sharply on
an application by w. S. Hoge, jr.:
agent. who asked a zoning change
to light industry on % acres in
the 2700 block of South Seminary
road along -Four Mile Run.
The change was opposed by Plan
ming Commissioner Frank L. Dieter.
who said he believed industry
should be located on land already so
zoned rather than on newly created
areas.
| Basil De Lashmutt, board mem
Der, asked what use was proposed
for the land If it was not to be
zoned for industry. He pointed out
1t was surrounded by business areas.
Edmund Campbell suggested the
land might be used for parks or
Fairgrounds.
Action Approved.
Mr.. Hoge said that if the county
wanted the area for such develop
ment, his group would be willing
| to discuss 1t.
Mr.. De Lashmutt then moved that
action be deferred until county au-
thorities could determine if the
land would be used for park pur-
poses. The motion CARED with Mr..
Campbell and Mrs. Elizabeth Ma.
gruder dissenting.
The board accepted comprehen-
siye report on industrial areas in
the county, prepared by Mr.. Dieter.
i Mrs. Margaret C. Hubbard, $40
South Ode street, was granted a
one-year permit for a day nursery,
| but an application by Mrs. Lillian B,
iRothery $500 South Fourth street to
fconstrE-t a school to accommodate
| so children was deferred until
April 20.
| The board approved total ex-
penses of 57,00975 of which s31..

To Defer Recreation Director

The fear of losing Alan He'll, city
recreation director, has led mem
bers of the Alexandria Teen-Age
Club to draft a petition to President
Roosevelt asking for Mr.. Heils de-
ferment. The petition, circulated
at the clubs weekly dance last
night, was signed by approximately
ITS young people.
Mr.. He'll, who came to Alexandria
from Danville a year ago, Is 33,
married and the father of two chill
dren. An application for his defer
ment, made by City Manager Carl
Budwesky to the Danville Selective

The trail led up an embrankment

For Fairfax Train Crash

Failure to enforce and obey oper.

Southern Railway line at Sideburn
Va, in Fairfax County, March 2

The accident resulted in the death
of five C. & o. employees.
The failure of employees to obey
the rules is a result Of lack of
proper supervision, for which oper-

report said.
"If the rules had been enforced

Falls Church Joins
Sewer System 10
Federal Trunk
Town Is Expected to
Sign Agreement With
FWA EorIy This Week

Falls Church officials last night
announced that the towns sewer
system has been connected with new
Federally constructed trunk line
through Fairfax County following
ratification by the council last week
of an agreement with the Federal
Works Agency. -..
Mayor M. H. Haertel said the con-
tract between the town and the
FWA is expected to be signed early
this week. He added that the con-
nection of the two disposal systems
marks the completion of the towns
new 15-inch main.
Town Attorney John A. K. Dono-
van said the FWA agreed to certain
changes in the original contract to
assure the town continued use of
the disposal line in the event it is
sold or leased by the Government.
Original Provision Revised.
A provision in the original docu-
ment, which would have permitted
the FWA to cancel service on so
days notice, was revised to guaran-
tee the town sewage disposal as long
as the Government operates the
trunk line, and to bind purchaser
or lessee for l5-year period.
Negotiations for purchase of the
trunk line by Fairfax County, held
up until the FWA would agree to
certain changes in the contract re-
lieving the county of liability for
damages resulting from faulty con-
struction, have been resumed and
it is expected that the county will
complete purchase of the project
soon.
Under provisions of the contract,
Mr.. Donovan explained, the town
will pay the Federal Government,
or its Lessee. each three months an
amount equal to the total amount
billed properties connected with the
town system, divided by half of
the sewer service rate to single
dwelling. The rate per dwelling is
between A.75 and 50, he said.
Rate to Be Increased.
Mr Donovan pointed out that
the rate will be increased when the
Government eventually builds a
sewage disposal plant. This plant,
part of the original trunk line
plans, was temporarily abandoned.
1t has been further pointed out
that the new gravity disposal sys-
tenn will save the town a substan-
tial amount, since it will relieve the
necessity of pumping sewage into
the Arlington County system.

increase OF as per cent, the Farm
Credit Administration reported to-
day.
DR.. E. c. Johnson, chief of the
FCA's Economic and Credit Re-
search Division, cautioned there "is
q real danger that a rise in farm
values such as occurred in World
War I may be repeated, only to be
followed by break and great dis
tress among farmers"
The FCA official said. however
that no indications of speculation ir
Maryland farm land had been foNno
and attributed the sale of MANY
farms to the manpower shortage
He said many of the purchasers
were local farmers.
The number of farm mortgages in.
creased 80 per cent in MARYLAND
last year, more than the nationa
average, indicating that the in.
creased demand for farm land is
being financed substantially by lend
ers.
Efforts are being made to contro
f1uctuation of land values and te
avoid imitation of farm prices, FCA
officials reported, and investors are
being cautioned against buying
farms at values which cannot be
sustained by farm earnings over 6
period of years.

lenders as a group are making ar
effort to hold farm mortgage loan.
