As Rate Counsel

Pay for Arlington
Bus Fare HEARING

Two members of the Arlington
County Board said yesterday they
would oppose the appointment Of
Lester r. Conley, former Public
Utilities Commissioner. as counsel
for the county at bus fare hear
ings next month.
The political flare-up came at
a meeting of the board in the
courthouse.
Daniel A. Dugan was supported
by Mrs. Florence Cannon when
he said he would vote against
paying Mr.. Conley to represent
the county before the State
Corporation Commission in Rich
mond on an application by the
Arnold Bus Line to raise fares.
There are five members OF the
board, however.
Rucker Refuses Questions.
The board had authorized
Commemorative Attorney Den
man T. Rucker to retain counsel
to assist him in presenting the
county's position at the hearings.
Mr.. Rucker acknowledged yester-
day that he had taken Mr.. Conley
to Richmond on the matter "in
the county's interests"
He refused, however, to answer
Mr.. Dugan'S questions about Mr..
Conley's retention as associate
counsel by declaring he failed to
see the materiality of the ques-
tions.
Mr.. Dugan has indorsed the
candidacy of Robert w. Cox, inde-
pendent, who is running for the
seat now held by Basil DeLash-
mutt, board chairman. Mr.. Con-
ley recently defended Mr..
DeLashmutt's public utilities
policies which had come under
attack by Mr.. Cox's supporters.
Political Involvement Charged.
Mr.. Dugan said the former PUG
member has become politically
involved" in the county board
political campaign and he did not
believe Mr.. Conley should be ap-
pointed for that reason.
The row over Mr.. Conley's
association with the rate hearing
started earlier this week when T.
Oscar Smith. Mr.. Cox's campaign
manager. charged the PUG men,
ber had resigned the non-paying
commission Office to be retained
as counsel and criticized the
move as a political payoff."
In other business. insurance
coverage for Arlington volunteer
firemen was raised to $4,000 on
motion of Mr.. Dugan. Their
policies formerly averaged only
about $500. -s&- ;.
Welfare Fund Approved.
The board referred to County
Manager A. T. Lundberg another
request Of the volunteer firemen
that additional radio equipment
be installed on fire trucks.
The board appropriated $1,546
from the Welfare Department
contingent fund for use in gen.
eral relief and foster care cases.
The contingent fund represents
money that was appropriated for
welfare work by the county, but
was not matched by the State or
Federal governments.
