Car Inspection Study
In Virginia Urged

A study by the Virginia Legisla-
ture of the present system Of auto
mobile inspection was advocated
today by Harrison Mann, candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
the House of Delegates.
"The press carried statements
from various inspection stations to
the effect that over 90 per cent Of
all cars are defestive," Mr.. Mann
said. Something is very much
wrong when the percentage reaches
such high figure, even though cars
we're not inspected during the war.
while 1t is highly. desirable to
keep dangerous cars off the roads
and correct defects which menace
safety, 80 per cent rejection rate
indicates that the rules are either
too arbitrary or are being inter-
rreted too strictly and go beyond
safety measures"
Mr.. Mann said there is only one
State supervisor for all of the in
spection stations in Arlington, Fair
fax and Prince William counties and
Alexandria.
"It is obviously physically i'm
possible for one State police offlcer
to adequately supervise all of these
stations" he said.

Lack OF interest among citizens In
Alexandria today was given by City
Manager Carl Budwesky as the chief
reason plans for city purchase OF
the privately-owned local water
company failed to materialize.
A resolution introduced by Coun-
Gilman Paul Delaney last Tuesday
night to prepare condemnation
proceedings against the Alexandria
Water Co. failed to receive a second.
Several weeks previously however,
the Council voted unanimously to
offer $2,75000o for purchase of the
utility.
In turning down the purchase
offer. the company indicated 1t did
not wish to sell at any price.
Commenting on failure of the
City Council to take further steps,
Mr.. Budwesky said, Il can't say
that blame the Council for moving
slowly in the issue in the face of
apparent lack of interest on the
part Of the city"

Alexandra Water Purchase
Failure Laid to Lack of Interest

He pointed out that no inquiries
reached his Office in connection with
the proposed purchase. Also. he
said, no letters of Endorsement or
criticism were received from indi-
viduals or organizations.
The move to purchase the water
company was prompted several
months ago when the utility signed
a contract to furnish water to a
Fairfax County developer.
Fear that this contract might be
the first of many that eventually
could constitute a threat to an
adequate water supply for Alexan-
dria was set forth by city officials
as chief reason steps were taken
to take over operation of the
company.
Mr.. Budwesky indicated the same
lack of interest may have had part
in the Councils refusal to join with
Arlington County to investigate gas
rates to determine If . reduction
could be obtained.

Byrd Bill Asks Right
To Tax U. 5. Property
In Arlington County

The State of Virginia and its SUBJ
divisions would be authorized to
tax Federal land and improvements
in Arlington county under bill in
troduced in the Senate by Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia. The
measure went to the Public Lands
Committee.
The proposal is an outgroWth OF
the movement in nearby Virginia to
obtain some return from property
taken off the tax rolls by the Fed
eral Governments acquisition of
land in the area.
A spokesman for Senator Byrd
said he intends to press for hearings
on the proposal at the next session
of Congress opening in January.
The same problem has provoked
several members of the House to in
troduce bills in that chamber to
get redress from the Federal Gov
ernment for tax losses they have
suffered by expansion Of Federal
holdings.
Senator Byrd introduced the bill
for himself and Senator Robertson,
Democrat, of Virginia. The meas
ure would exempt from State or
local taxation specified Federal res
ervations such as Fort Myer, Ar
lington Cemetery. the National Air
port, and the Arlington Post Office
But it would provide that all
lands in Arlington County acquired
subsequent to December 81, 1889 be
subject to taxation.
The biggest Federal project sub
ject to such a tax would be the
Pentagon Building. Others in the
area would be the Navy Annex and
Arlington Farms housing develop
ment.

complete accuracy or not, new rec
tory was built. The old one, OF
which only the lower part remains
now is used as a garage.
Second Church to be Built.
The present church is the second
st. Aloysius Church to be built
The first was erected about 1766
about two miles north of Leonard
town at the entrance of the Old
Cemetery, still used by some old
Maryland families. The stone foun-
dation ruins may still be seen, al
though the wooden superstructure
has long since disappeared. An in
teresting sidelight records that
Archbishop Marechal, visiting the
county in April 1918, reported st.
Aloysius Chapel, wooden building,
large and in tolerable order"
Today there is talk of a new
building to take the place OF the
present church. Definite action,
however, must await appointment
of an Archbishop of Baltimore and
Washington.
A part of the church which will be
placed in any new edif1ce to be
erected is the old bell. The inscrip-
ton on it, translated from Latin,
reads, 1.-The heirs of William Jen-
kins dedicate this bell to his memory
and praise in the year 1884. 1t
began its life in the year 1884 in
the village of White Plains, Md"
Historians said the bell, most
likely made in England, probably
was brought over in the Ark or the
Dove in 1884 They suggest the
words "it began its life" refer to its
either being cast in 1884 or first
used then to call people to church.
The Ark and the Dove landed with
Catholic colonists that year on the
Western shore of Chesapeake Bay,
in Maryland. They made st. Marys
City the capital of the colony and
county seat of st. Marys County.
