zoning Appeal Board New Sanitary District
Has 9 Cases on Docket Sought in Fairfax

Nine cases-the smallest docket in
many months-wil be heard by
the Board of Zoning Adjustment
Wednesday at 10 am. at the District
Building.
The board hears appeals for in
dividual changes from decisions of
the Zoning Commission.
Board members told the Commis-
sioners in their report for the year
ended June 80 that the 258 appeals
heard during the year was nearly 80
per cent increase over the prewar
average of business.
The report, made public yesterday,
showed most of, last years business
was to use alley properties for COM
mercial purposes, to establish gaso-
line stations and automobile repair
shop, and to operate schools.
The effect of the shortage of build
ing materials was seen in a rs per
cent decrease in application to build
additions to existing properties.

test of its kind in the District.
In reference to the case, inswhich
Judge Almond Scott sentenced the
defendant to a SIS fine or so days
in Jail land was upheld by the
higher court, Judge George D.
Nelson, long -time supporter OF
scientific tests for intoxicated driv-
ers, cited 1t as an incident" OF such
tests already being introduced into
the courts. 'sBut there should be a
law on them" he said.
"It is great step FORWARD" he
added, "and am highly in favor
of It,"
Dr.. Oscar B. Hunter. physician
and pathologist, a strong supporter
of the bill and one of its originators,
testified at the recent Introductory
urinalysis test that the showing OF
24/100ths Of / per cent of alcohol
in the defendants urine Indicated
that the defendant was under the
influence Of Intoxicating beverage at
the time of his arrest.
The proposed bill, he said. "calls
for examination of the blood and
urine and possibly the breath, which
will convict the guilty and exon
crate the innocent.

Thursday 5 Hearing
On Budget 10 Attract
15D. {. Organization!

Washington citizen groups will
tell the Commissioners Thursday
what they think about the record
smashing $l36 6,ooo,0 900 requests Of
city department heads for the COM
ing fiscal year.
Some Is organizations have an
nounced their intention to appear
ut the annual public hearing in the
District Building at 10 am.
It was predicted that most OF
the spokesmen would urge in keep
ing expenses to the minimum to
avoid any sixeahle increase In taxes.
Demands for an increased Federal
payment toward city needs also are
expected.
For the past two weeks officials
have been going over details Of the
massive money requests and, after
the hearing Thursday, will begin to
mark up the estimates.
More Revenue Sought.
Commissioner John Russell Young
has said that, under present revenue
expectancies, the city will lack ST.
0O0, 900 OF being able to maintain
present public services by July !,
l948. Estimated tax income from
all funds next year is SIC, 800, 600.
While no details have been dis
closed on what the Commissioners
have done to the requests to date,
it is believed likely they will at
tempt to keep operating expenses
close to this years figure. The items
for new buildings may be set aside
in separate budget to be used only
to the extent that Congress in
creases Federal funds or local taxes.
Operating expenses In the current
budget amount to $66. 6.345. .832. For
the next year department heads
have asked $84, 4,023,l88.
Most of the new building items
asked by the department heads,
totaling some $51, ,0O0, 900, are a part
of the six-year plan for city serv-
ices expansion recommended by
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young. The entire program would
cost some $228, ,0O0, 900.
VIII Go to Budget Bureau.
After the Commissioners have
made their cuts In the budget 1t
will go to the Bureau of the Budget
where Sam Crosby will have charge
of the estimates until they are
transmitted to the new Congress
early in January.

With arrests OF drunken drivers
here showing startling increases, ef-
forts will be intensified next year
to push through Congress pend
ing bill to legalize the District
courts use of scientific tests to de-
sermine drunkenness, 1t was revealed
yesterday.
In the first nine months Of this
year police records show 2l2 ar
rests of drunken drivers. A year
ago there were only 103.
Among agencies, civic groups and
technical experts supporting the bill.
the American Automobile Associa-
ton will be one of its strongest
hackers. Washington I. Cleveland,
manager of the Washington divi-
sion, said the association feels very
strongly that legislation legalizing
the use of such tests for allegedly
intoxicated drivers will go a long
way toward eliminating drunken
driving"
Would Protect Innocent.
'The Three AS interest" he said,
"is two-fold: To help eliminate the
drunken driver and to protect the
innocent one-perhaps the man who
had only one beer"
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
said his departments seal of ap-

Officials Strike
Snag on Route
For FreeWdy
Restrictions on Types
Of Troffic Imposed
On Present Roads
By Rudolph Kouffmonn II

Maryland officials planning the
controversial Northwest Freeway in
Montgomery County have run into
a thorny problem in trying to find
a good route for the proposed super
road from Cabin John to George
town along the north bank OF the
Potomac river.
The problem shapes up like this,
1t was learned yesterday:
The freeWay Is planned for all
types of commercial as well as pas
senger vehicles and 1t would be on
this basis only that Federal aid
for the project would be granted by
the Public Roads Administration.
But Conduit road and Macarthur
boulevard, which run on top OF the
Washington Aqueduct, are limited
by the Army Engineer Corps to We
hicles of six tons or less. Thus
heavy trucks could not use this
route.
Parkway for Pleasure Cars.
The George Washington Memoir
ial Parkway, which is to skirt the
river on a course parallel to Con-
duit road and Macarthur boulevard,
is planned for pleasure cars only
and has been so designated by Con-
gress.
Hence, either an entirely new
road, which does not endanger the
aqueduct or use the right Of way for
the parkway, must be planned, or
some arrangement made with the
Federal Government to use the Cab
in john Georgetown section of the
parkway for trucks and other COM
mercial vehicles.
Opening the parkway to truck
traffic, however, Is bound to meet
with opposition in Federal quarters,
especially the National Park Serv-
ice, which is responsible for the
construction, policing and mainte-
nance of the parkway.
Twice now, the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission and Maryland State
Roads Commission have relocated
the proposed right of way for the
freeway to meet the objections of
county property owners, only to
turn into this third and much more
complex situation.
Committee Meets. :.
A recent unannounced meeting of
the Interregional Highway Commit
tee, a Federal-District-M Maryland
Virginia group sponsored by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, to cope with bi-State
and tri-State highway problems
was called to consider the freeway
problem. sh.-sl eH.
Virginia members were absent.
since the freeway would have little
affect on the Virginia highway sys-
tenn.
Present. however. were Maryland
planning and roads officials and
representatives Of the District High
way Department, the Public Roads
A Administration, the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commits
sion, which has purchased the park
way right-of-Way and Is trying to
help find q solution to the freeway
problem, and the Army Engineers.
It was decided to take additional
measurements Of the whole area in
volved and particularly the bottle
neck In the Brookmont- alecarlia
section where the aqueduct and the
two read projects would be squeezed
together in a narrow space.
