county and school officials to hold
joint public hearing on the pro-
posed bond issues for schools and

poned from October |. the regular
date.
A proposed amendement to Mr.

Board and School Board be asked
to distribute information regarding
the bond proposals following the
hearing, was defeated after some
discussion. Delegate Harry @. Tree
logan objected to the proposed

Of view.

ernment will have to-"

lington and Alexandra are the chief
offenders in the pollution of the
waterway. His remarks were made
in connection with q discussion on
the need of a sewage disposal plant
for the county. No action was taken
on the matter last night, however.
A study of the pollution of Lubber
Run was suggested by Mr.. Banks,
who said that the stream is posted
with signs forbidding wading be-
cause of pollution.

tion OF the Executive Committee,

study the installation of an appro-
pirate fre-alarm system in the

ton voted to have its Revenues and
Expenditures Committee and its

report given by Mrs. Ruby G. Simp- |
son, asked that the Parks, Planning

Architects Given Go
On Neyius Tract Site
For VA Hospital

Architects for the Veterans Ad-
ministration's proposal $4,000. 900
hospital for Washington had vir-
tually a clear track today to go
ahead with. plans for the structure,
following Fine ARTS Commission ap-
proval OF the controversial 25-acre
Nevins tract in Arlington as the site
for the building.
According to q commission an
nouncement yesterday, the archi-
tects, Louis Jrstement, Of Washing
ton, and the New York firm of York
g. Sawyer, designers Of the huge
Commerce Department Building
here. are to prepare several studies
for the hospital and bring them
back for further consideration by
the commission. =
Formal Step Awaited.
Approval Of the site by the COM
mission had the effect Of making its
use for the hospital virtually a cer-
tainty. The Federal Board Of Hos
pitalization, which already has ap-
proved the location tentatively, has
only to issue formal approval to set
the stage for purchase of the land
and construction of the 750-bed
hospital.
Yesterdays action also had the
effect OF ending several months Of
controversy In which the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission had delayed approval Of
the site while 1t studied the effect
such q large building would have
on views Of the Lincoln Memorial
from the Mall area.
Planners Explain Stand.
Planning Commission officials ex-
;plained yesterday that even a low
building which does not extend
above the skyline of the memorial
win stiil be visible on both sides OF
the shrine, depriving it Of the deep
green backdrop of the wooded ridge
which now sets it of.
While the Fine Arts Commission
said it had suggested no maximum
height for the building, 1t was indi-
Gated the structure would be low
probably not more than 110. feet.
The commissions approval came
after several hours of discussion In
which Veterans Administration Of
ficials, the architects, planning Of
ficials and representatives Of the
Army Engineers took part.
