Businessmen Ask
Advisory Council
On Arlington zoning
County Board Studies
PIon Submitted by
Chamber of Commerce

The Arlington County Board yes
terday took under consideration a
proposal by members of the Cham
Der of Commerce, Real Estate Board
and the Board of Trade that an ad-
visory council of local businessmen
be formed to confer with the Plan
ming Commission on industrial and
commercial zoning.
Paul A. Hill, Chamber of Com
merce secretary, presented a resolu-
ton asking formation of the council
and recommending that action be
deferred on the study of industrial
zoning recently submitted to the
board by the Planning Commission.
Cites Loss Of Revenue.
w. S. Hoge, jr., county real estate
operator, said that both the Real
Estate Board and the Board of
Trade had endorsed the chambers
request. He said the county was
losing tax revenues by failing to
zone light commercial areas. He
pointed out that a super market
built across the county line in Alex
andria was supported mainly by
darlington patronage A theater
planned for the same area would
likewise profit from Arlington
County patronage. he said.
Edmund d. Campbell. board men,
ber. opposed the idea of the County
Board appointing such council.
He suggested that the organizations
concerned appoint committee that
would be available for conferences
on industrial zoning with the Plan
ming Commission.
A zoning change to r A 1926
Presidential apartmenD was granted
for the former trailer camp site in
the 1900 and 140O blocks of South
Queen and South Rolfe streets.
This area will be developed by the
Federal Public Housing Authority
for low-cost colored housing. Forty
four apartment units are to be con-
structed with recreational space
provided.
Locke's Recommendation.
Donald Locke, zOnlng commits
sioner, recommended the change
and also recommended that the
site include sufficient land to allow
access streets of adequate width.
M. Freehoff, FPHA official, said it
was Government policy to expend
funds only for war needs" If a
half-lane street gave adequate &C
cess to the project he said he did
not believe his agency would spend
additional funds.
The county gas code. drafted by
C. L. Kinnier, county engineer, Nor
bert Melnick, Department of Health

DlStFlct once OF Price AdmlnlS-

formal car-sharing clubs even
though they will not be required to
participate in the new car pool pro-
gram which goes into operation in
the Metropolitan Area on May 70.
you don't have to form a pool
but why not lend hand" officials
asked A-ration motorists. ''It will
all help to save gasoline and con-
serve existing transportation facili-
ties"
The OPA warned yesterday that
motorists seeking supplemental ra-
tions after May % will be issued
ration for only a 30-day period If
they have not signed up at least
three riders for each car pool. 1t
will be left up to the individual ra-
ton board to decide whether driver
Is unable to recruit the minimum
number of riders or whether a mo-
torist has such irregular hours that
it will be impossible for him to par
ticipate in the program.
Meanwhile, officials reported that
numerous requests for the OPA
forms to be used by prospective
riders have been received from
transportation committees In Gov
|ernment and private business. There
are about 146 such committees in
existence in the Metropolitan Area.
Cards to Be Sorted.
These cards, which will contain
such information as hours of work,
address of home and office, nearest
main street intersection, will be sent
either to 5601 Connecticut avenue
NV, which will be the recruiting
center for Washington and Mary
land riders, or to 1124 North High
land street in Arlington, center for
Virginia riders.
From master files at these two
points, local boards will be able
to get names to supply motorists
who do not have their quota of
riders at the time of filing for sup
Elemental rations.
Andy S. Hynes, ST., District mile
age rationing representative, said
yesterday 1t was not too early to
begin forming car pools, even though
the drive does not open until Nav
22, Slogan for the campaign is
Gasoline powers the attack. If you
must drive your car to work, share
1t with your neighbor."
Anticipating that there might be
a rush of motorists to apply for
supplemental rations before Nav 22|
and thus avoid the necessity of
forming pool, the OPA pointed out
that no motorist can apply for more
gasoline any sooner than Is days
before the earliest renewal date on
his current ration books.
Some Exceptions Made.
Of1cials have stressed that If a
motorist Is unable to get the re-
CURED number Of riders and other
transportation Is available, then he
stands a good chance of having his
ration application turned down.
Ministers, physicians, collectors
ana certain statesmen, all of whose
travel is at irregular hours, will not
be denied rations, according to the
OPA.
Mileage will be computed on a
direct home-to-off1ce route and Is
miles to a gallon will continue to
be the yardstick for issuing rations.
OPA officials have pointed out
that the Washington campaign will
serve as a model for a Nationwide
plan to be placed in operation later
