Sheriff Calls Effort.
To Fireproof Lookup
False Economy

/ The Arlington County Board is
considering placing the county Jail,
criticized by the State as obsolete
and unsafe, on the third floor of
projected north wing edition to the
Court House.
] The disclosure came at meeting
of the County Board after County
Manager A. T. Lundberg read a let
ter from the State Board of Cor
rections which warned that If the
present Jail is not brought up to
standard by December 81, the State
will withdraw its APPROVAL of the
structure. The warning was a re-
iteration of a letter last January
81.
After Sheriff j. Elwood Clements
told the County Board it would be
false economy to attempt to fire.

board voted to write the State body
that consideration is being given to
a new Jail in the proposed addition.
New Building Urged.
Sheriff Clements said that a great
many Improvements had been made
but that the minimum standards
requested by tn State could be met
only by a new building.
Sheriff Clements said a plan for
a regional jail for Arlington, Alex
andria anh Fairfax had been just
about abandoned because of the
large expenditure Alexandria re-
Gently made in bringing its Jail up
to standard and because of similar
action contemplated in Fairfax.
County Planning Engineer C. L.
Kinnier said the matter might be
discussed at the next meeting of
the Northern Virginia Planning
Commission on July 20.
The board however, omitted for
the second meeting to act on a re-
port Of Mr.. Lundberg setting forth
the cost of the proposed courthouse
addition. Mr.. Lundberg's report, it
was learned, sets the cost of a !
three-story and basement wing at
s465 900. It also states that only
the front half of the proposed wing
can be built for an estimated
s273, 900, including a heating plant
and restroom facilities for the en-
tire wing.
Action Put Off Until July 81.
Construction of only half of the
wing was suggested by Mr.. Lund-
berg as an alternative to tearing
down the present Jail building
which stands in the way of the full
wing.
Action on the report was post

Dealers toCurb
Resale
In Maryland
Buyers Must Agree
To Keep New Autos
For Six Months
BY The Assoeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE. July 17.-Starting
Monday, most Maryland automobile
dealers will require all buyers to
sign an agreement that they will
not sell a new car or transfer its
title for at least six months after
the date Of purchase.
The dealers believe it will mean
death blow in, Maryland to the
growing practice of selling used"
new automobiles at prices greatly
in excess of list prices.
The plan, drawn up by the Auto.
mobile Trade Association of Mary
land has the backing of w. Lee
Elgin, State commissioner of motor
vehicles.
The system will work this way:
To get a new car, each buyer
must sign an agreement that If he
has to sell it within six months, 1t
must be to the dealer from whom
he bought it.

said price for the first month and

each succeeding month of fraction
thereof between the date of title
issuance and the date of resale
A record of the conditional sale
agreement will be stamped on the
certificate of title and other records
of the Department of Motor We
hicles.
Should the contract be preached
by the buyer. the dealer Is en-
titled to liquidated damages Of 30
per cent of the original purchase
price.
Conditions Explained.
Each contract explains that con-
ditions are imposed on the buyer
because the dealer seeks to protect
the automobile le-buying public in
general against excessive and unjust
prices for virtually new automibles
which are put on the market by
profit-seeking persons who, due to
the scarcity of new automobiles, are
able to resell them at prices SUBJ
stantially in excess of the estab-
lished new-car prices"
J. C. Darrall, general manager OF
the Automobile Trade Association.
said that more than one-half Of
the 400 dealers belonging to the as
sociation to date have signed up.
He added he expects the others

At the meeting DIR. Dawson said
