Alexandra Chamber
Urges Cleanup Of
Wafer Front Area

Inauguration of cleanup pro-
gram for Alexandria's water front
was urged last night by David C.
Book, business manager of the
Chamber of Commerce, at a meet
ing of Alexandria property owners
and businessmen to determine their
attitude toward water front i'm
provements if Congress makes funds
available.
City Manager Carl Budwesky said
the views expressed at the meeting
will be presented to the United
States Army Engineers at a public
hearing May 81 in the Interior
Department auditorium.
Declaring the city's water front
has become "unsightly," Mr. Book
said a cleanup program not only
would improve its scenic beauty but
would also increase the value of the
port.
Want Industry Saved.
At the same time he said the
chamber is opposed to any changes
along the water front if they result
in a sacrifice of commerce and
industry
Mr.. Book also urged that Govern
ment-owned property along the
river be declared surplus. He ex-
planned that the chamber recently
received several offers for COM
mercial development along the water
front, but it could not make the
necessary property available.
He voiced opposition to the pro-
posed elevated roadway along the
water front to bypass traffic on
Washington street, adding that
such a move would damage COM
mercial interests and obstruct the
river view for residents of the area
Mr.. Budwesky pointed out that
the elevated roadway was recently
suggested as an alternative to plan
advanced for a ground-level road
along the river, which has since been
developed commercially.
Resolution Asks Quay.
A low quay for mooring ships
parallel along the water front was
advocated in a resolution introduced
for 60 property owners by Capt.
John N. Opie, U. S. NJ, while F. R..
Washington expressed the opinion
that with slips and piers five times
as many ships could be moored as
with quay.
Alan L. He'll, city recreation di-
rector, said that his department
hopes plans for improvement will
permit development of the block
between Gibbons and Wilkes streets
for recreation and a possible yacht
basin. SpokeSmen for the Old Do
minion Boat Club said that the club
is crowded into a commercial dis
trict and would be in favor of a
boat harbor off Hunting Creek.
L. L.E. Reed, engineer for the Brad
dock Light & Power Co.. said he
has been informed by the Army
engineers that they propose to es-
tablish a small boat basin east of
the high water mark off the Po-
tomac Clay Works property.
Thomas Wilford Robinson, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Robinson Ter
minal Warehouse Corp, acting as
the principal spokesman for water
front business interests, expressed
a willingness to cooperate in i'm
provements. Mrs. David Tucker
Brown suggested improvements
similar to Chicagos lake-shore de-

Criticizing a tendency of the Ar

a large number of applications to
rezone property from residential to
local commercial, the County Civic
Federation today was on record in
opposition to any future changes of
that sort except where the growth of

New Arlington Citizens Associations

its support for residential coming on
Lee boulevard and directing the
Parks, Planning and Zoning Com
mittee to appear against the pro-
posed rezoning to local commercial
of property in tlse $500 block of Lee
boulevard.
The organization also approved a
motion directing that the Interstate
Commerce Commission be petitioned
to hold a public hearing on the
proposed rate increase of the Arnold
Operated Bus Lines, calling on
company officials to show cause why
the added fares are necessary.
Fourteen petitions were distrib-
uted to delegates for circulation in
the areas served by their groups,
asking that Circuit Judge Walter P.
Mccarthy issue an order for a ref
erendum at the November election
to eliminate the present stagger sys-
tenn of electing county board men,
bers in favor of simultaneous elec-
ton.
Charter Study Ordered.
William G. Watt, federation presi-
dent, appointed a five-member COM
mittee to study the proposed charter
under which the county can incor-
porate as city, to determine if the
federation wants. to initiate petitions
for referendum on the question.
Members of the committee, which
Is to report its findings at next
months meeting, are William Tic
kle, Mrs. Florence Cannon, Lemuel
Banks, DR.. F. L. Campbell and H
H. Howe.
Following strong objections by a
number of delegates, the federation
defeated a motion which favored
modification of county off-street
parking regulations.
Rice M. Youell, State commits
sioner Of correction, told the feder-
alton in a letter that meeting
