Town Manager
BeEnlpIoyed
InFaIIsChurch
Takes Office Aug. |;
Promises Savings
Surpossing Pay

The town Of Falls Church will
employ q town manager who is ex-
pected to take ofiice around August /.
This decision was reached at last
nights Town Council meeting.
Councilman j. H. Mccarthy alb
stained from voting, but expressed
doubt as to the feasibility Of such
q move.
Identity of the town manager
designate will be withheld until June
16. 1t was agreed to pay him $4,000
a year.
Members expressed the opinion
that the town is growing SO fast
"that the council cans keep up
with it," Mayor Fenner S. Hazel
grove warned that you can't hire
a town manager without giving him
the necessary authority" Council
man Mccarthy declared, however,
"You can't delegate authority
Savings Promised Town.
Members also said the new ap-
pointee had assured them he could
save the town more than his salary
during the first year.
At the request of Mayor Hazel
grove and the Fairfax County School
Board, 1t was decided to exempt two
building contractors, who are to
build school buildings in the town,
from payment of business license
taxes. This was done over the pro-
test of Mr.. Mccarthy, who COM
planned that the town had not re-
ceived fair deal from the county
in the matter of schools.
Mayor HaZelgrove said he had
been informed by the County School
Board that the contract had been
let yesterday for construction of an
addition to the Falls Church High
School to E. E. Lyons of Vienna.
The County School Board, he said,
also desires to award the contract
for the Oak Street School in Falls
Church to G. E. Nuckols of Rich
mond. He said both contracts were
to be handled on a cost-plus fixed
fee OF 5 per cent basis with the
county to pay all bills. AS a re-
suit the School Board felt the town
should forgo the imposition of the
business license tax on the con-
tractors and subcontractors as it
would mean that the county would
have to pay the tax.
Rezoning Approved.
Other action included:
Approval of the rezoning OF 9,43O
square feet of land on West Fair
fax street In the rear of 438 South
Washington street. Thompson g.
Case, local contractors, plan to erect
doctors Offices there.
Called a special meeting Of the
Town Council and the Planning
Commission for Friday night to dis
cuss the proposed town park.
Called q special meeting for June
18 to discuss q new subdivision ordi-
nance with the Planning Commis-
sion.
Set June 80 as the date for a
public hearing on proposed model
taxi-control ordinance which has
been drafted by the Virginia League
OF Municipalities.
Authorized the Mayor to write q
letter to the Arnold Lines inform
ing the company it must remove
most OF the buses now parked on
South Washington street.
Authorized the Fire Department
to establish a direct telephone line
between the firehouse and the police
department.

CARLESSNESS CAUSES FIRES

While Fire Prevention Week has been
observed by the nation, it is not amiss to
call attention to the fact that nine out of
ten forest and woods fires are caused by
carelessness that can be prevented.
This is the estimate of the u S. Forest
Service, which is urging all those who go
into the woods to be careful. In 1916, "a
per cent of all forest fires were caused
by smoers and &c per cent by ncendiaries
The acute shortage of housing gives us
an additional reason for urging Monroe
county citizens to be careful when in the
woods and forests. A carelessly-gnored
cooking fire, a cigarette butt thrown away
without thinking and hundreds of dollars
worth of potential lumber goes up in
flames.
1t is the duty of those who go upon
the land of other people to exercise the
greatest precautiOn against starting a for
est fire. Trees do not become lumber over
night. The process requires years and the
land owner is entitled to his property,
but he will never sell any of the trees so
carefully nourished over the years. Some
careless person will see to it that they are
burned to the ground.

NEED OF WATERWAY

While it is good news that the ferry
Garth Queen will begin to operate between
Kew West and Havana shortly after next
March /. vet we would have been far
more pleased had the runs begun during
the winter season.
However. we would be immensely
pleased were we Informed that work on
the proposed Inland Waterway between
BAHIA Honda and Key West would be
started shortly after March 1. Here is an
Improvement that grooves. in we'll with
the operation of the ferry. While, of
course. the ferry will carry automobiles
and passengers, yet the opening of the
waterway will add to the Importance of
Kew West as a port, position in which
this city was outstanding for many decades
in Florida.
One question regarding the Inland
Waterway that has never been answered
and probably never will, is, Why was the
channel deepened to as far south as Bahia
Honda and stopped there? Bahia Honda
was, and still is, so far as we know, an
uninhabited key. Why was it made the
terminus of the waterway, with Key West,
city and the gateway to Cuba, only 40
miles away?
The late President Roosevelt must
have reasoned in a similar manner when,
in 1914, he authorized the expenditure of
$780, 900 to complete the Inland Water
way to Key West, but congress has not
appropriated the money and it is not like
ly to do so in the near future unless suffi-
cient influence is brought to bear on our
representatives in the house and the sem
ate to work concertedly to make the
money available to deepen the channel.
With that end in view, The Citizen
published on Tuesday Washington News
Letter, in which residents, particularly
business men and members of civic bodies,
were urged to write to our representative
and senators, urging them to try to have
the authorized sum provided for in the
next federal budget.

FOOD BOOSTS PRODUCTION

Many economic experts believe that
the answer to the problem of production
in Europe centers around the output of
coal and, for this reason, the squirt of pro-
duction in the Ruhr is worth noting.
At the beginning of this year, produc-
ton was 1902 tons daily. Recently,
however, special packages of food have
been awarded to miners working in mines
which exceed the best previous postwar
output. Officials have been elated to note
that production has reached 274,OOO tons
day.
If there is anything to be learned from
the report, it is that people cannot work
unless they are fed 1t is impossible for a
man, or woman, doing physical work to
perform efficiently ON diet below the
minimum necessary to sustain life and
provide energy for labor.

On Thanksgiving Day, reverent Amer

too often, it is disregarded for lesser in

lead in disregarding Thanksgiving Day as
religious occasion and, for the conven-
fence of the unconcerned, provide no serv-
ice for those who would give public ex.
