One Acre Strip Owned
By Arlington Delays
Veterans Hospital
(From Yesterdays Last Edition.)
By GEORGE Beveridqe

A 1-acre strip that belongs to
Arlington County is holding up the
Veterans Administrators acquisi-
ton of the 25-acre Nevius tract in
Arlington as the site of Washington S
new hospital for veterans, it was
learned today.
The strip cuts across the entire
tract, which is at the southwest
corner of Lee boulevard and Airing
ton Ridge road. 1t lies in the path
of projected county highway.
A. T. Lundberg, chief of the
countys' department of public serv-
ice, said plans already have been
drawn for the proposed highway.
1t would be an extension of Lynn
street, he said, cutting across Lee
boulevard and the Nevius tract and
extending into Fort Myer. Lynn
street now extends south for only
about two blocks from Key Bridge.
The strip of land formerly be-
longed to the Arlington Fairfax
Railway Co. as a streetcar right-o
way from Rosslyn to Fort Myer, Mr..
Lundberg said. He added that he
hoped the plans could be carried
out without interfering with the
hospital construction.
The highway plans were to be sent
to Veterans Administration today,
Mr.. Lundberg said, to see whether
the two projects would conflict.
Veterans Administration officials,
announced 10 days ago
that it would ask the Attorney Gen
eral to file condemnation proceed
ings on the Nevius property within
a few days" The statement was
made after officials said they ex-
pected to acquire promptly the one
acre strip from Arlington County.
Today. w. z. Bowie, chief of the
agency's real estate section, said
condemnation action probably will
be filed ''in about week" No re-
quest has been sent as yet to the
Justice Department, he declared.
The agency decided to request
condemnation after owners of the
property refused an offer of $751;
436 for the property. Principal own
er is M. A. Nevius, retired vice presi-
dent of Riggs National Bank.
