Arlington Planners
Directed 10 Publish
New zoning Map

The Arlington County Board yes
terday directed the County Planning
Commission to publish and distrib-
ute a zoning map Incorporating
proposed changes in the master
zoning plan as far as possible in
advance of public hearings April
20 and 81.
The board acted after Charles
Smith and Lyle Bryant of the Ar
lington Civic Federations park.
planning and zoning committee re-
quested that the map be published
along with the proposed ordinance
covering the revision of the master
zoning plan The Planning Com
mission had ordered publication OF
the ordinance but not the map.
A contract was awarded. the Ar.
lingtnn Sun, which bid $2538 for
publication in four issues and the
preparation of 5000 separate copies
fof the proposed ordinance. The
! vote was 81, with Chairman Daniel
A. Dugan objecting.
Award to Sun Explained.
| Mr.. Dugan said the contract
should have been awarded to the
North Virginia Free Press which
bid s1,678. County Manager A. T.
Lundberg said he recommended
publication in the Sun because it
has a circulation Of about 1900
while the Free Press has much
smaller circulation
! Mr. Dugan said he felt that the
5000 difference far outweighed the
larger circulation in view of the
fact that relatively few of the
county's 10000 residents would see
either publication. Mr.. Dugan de-
clared also that the county has
placed advertising in a third weekly
paper which has a circulation Of
only 400.
. On motion of Alfred E. Frisbie,
the board voted to engage financial
adviser to aid in the disposition Of
county incinerator and school bonds
when the time comes to sell them.
!! The board voted to request Chris
topher B. Garnett to reconsider his
resignation as member of the
County Planning Commission and
to agree to remain at least until
the revision of the master zoning
plan is adopted.
Land Acquisition Authorized.
/ On motion of Basil M. De LASH

ton of the revised master zoning
plan, to approve change of zon-
,, ing '* from business back to
