Phoebus Again Given
Chance 10 Explain
Building Reports

The Commissioners have decided
to give William M. Phoebus, a Dis
trict building inspector, another
chance to explain accusations that
he submitted false reports on in
spections he never made.
Brig. Gen. Gordon r. Young
Engineer Commissioner, said he
would confer with Mr.. Phoebus and
his attorney, John B, Diamond III
at 10 am. Wednesday.
1t has been speculated at the Dis
trict Building that the Commits
sioners are reluctant to discharge
Mr.. Phoebus because of his long
service in the Building Inspector S
Office and because he is veteran
of World War I. Mr.. Phoebus. who
lives in Gaithersburg, Md, has been
on annual leave since he was &C
cused early last month,
One District official said the Com
missioners are not required to dis
charge the employe, even if he is
deemed guilty of the offense. On
August 13, the Commissioners gave
Mr.. Phoebus 10 days to file a written
reply to the accusations. The letter
to the employe told him he would
be discharged, "if the Commissioners
so decided" in the event the charges
were not answered.
On September l, the city heads
granted Mr.. Phoebus an oral hear
ing. after he had filed the writer

Arlington Board Sign,
Conditional Contract
For Junior High Site

A conditional sales contract to
buy a 7-acre tract for a new 33-
room junior high school has been
signed by the Arlington County
Board. Bernard JOY, chairman, an
nounced today.
The site, used by the District of
Columbia YWCA for its Vacation
Lodge, is in an area between Mill
tary road, Lorcom lane and Old
Dominion drive. This would place
the new school close to Lee high
way. main traffic artery, and Lor-
com lane which will comprise part
of the feeder network of the prof.
ected George Washington Memorial
parkway
S1.750,0O8 Building.
A $l,75O,0OO school building Is
contemplated for the site. It's 33
rooms, auditorium, cafeteria and
other facilities would make it one
of the largest Junior high schools
In the area. DR.. Joy said.
Construction of the school would
be contingent, however, on the vot-
ers' approval of a s4,750O00 bond
issue for school construction which
is to be submitted in a referendum
in November.
Acquisition Of the site for $47,500
is conditioned on surveys the school
board will. make to determine its
suitability. The purchase contract,
with Mr.. and Mrs. Louis j. Caru-
sillo, owners, reserves to the board
the right to make soundings to de-
termine whether sub-soil conditions
lend themselves favorably to exca-
wtion and the right to make other
physical surveys.
The site purchase price now is
available and does not depend on
approval of the bond issue, DR.. Joy
said.
1850 Opening Is Aim.
The board also is negotiating for
possible acquisition of adjoining
property to increase the size of the
site. If the bond issue is approved,
school officials hope the new build
ing will be ready by September 1850.
DR.. Joy said the School Board
regards the proposed junior high as
the most pressing project in Airing
ton. An enrolment of 267O Junior
high students was anticipated, but
2,646 registered when classes re-
sumed Monday.
The county now has So rooms in
junior high schools plus eight ele-
mentary school rooms and II in
the senior high buildings which are
used for junior high instruction.
These 20 rooms would be released
for their assigned use if the new
project should materialize, DR.. Joy
said.

ing south from Washington, was
forecast in an announcement today

tract to Occoquan Creek where it

be opened to traffic and the north
bound lane completed when funds

A time limit of $50 days, not
counting those lost because of bad
weather or sllutdowns allowed dur
ing winter months, was set by the
commission.
