I hope that this information may

to use it as it is and perhaps you

If and when the prices ever come

Fairfax Moves
10 Fix. Route Of
Monticello Road
County Board Votes
To Ask Stute to Survey
Proposed Highway

The Fairfax County Board Of SUI
pervisors yesterday took steps to
establish right-of way for the pro-
posed Monticello highway through
the county.
At the same time, Rufus j. Cold
well of the Monticello Highway
Committee said his committee in
tends to press for completion of the
memorial roadway despite failure
Of the recent General Assembly to
enact legislation making the road
way possible.
The supervisors voted to ask the
State Department Of Highways to
make a survey in the county to de-
termine the exact route of the pro-
posed highway so that the right-of-
way could be kept free of construc-
ton. Mr.. Coldwell said this action
would reduce costs by preventing
new construction which would have
to be moved to make way for the
road. He estimated a 160-foot
right-of-way would be needed.
Bill Killed in Committee.
A bill by Senator Charles r. Fen
wick of Arlington, co-sponsored by
Senators from every area through
which the highway would run from
Washington to Charlottesville, was
passed by the State Senate but was
killed in House of Delegates COM
mittee. The measure appeared in
line for passage until Delegate
Norman c. Bailey Of Orange OBJ
jected to one of the two alternate
routes proposed between Culpeper
and Charlottesville.
The project, which would connect
the Jefferson Memorial in Wash
ington to the third Presidents
home at Charlottesville. would en-
tail about IA miles of new construc-
ton through Fairfax County, Mr..
Coldwell told the supervisors.
