Suits Filed by vepco
10 Get Substation Site

The Virginia Electric g. Power Co.
has filed suits In Fairfax Circuit
Court for condemnation of q sub
station site near Fort Hunt and a
power line right-of-way near Baileys
Cross Roads.
The substation suit names Mr.. and
Mrs. Regis Walter, owners Of the
property and Fairfax County as de-
rendants. The power company
claims that the County Board of
Zoning Appeals refused to grant
permission for erection of a substa-
ton at the site. This denial was
upheld by the Board of Supervisors,
the suit states.
The power company says the site
is necessary to provide adequate
service. The site is on Samp road in
Mount Vernon magisterial district.
Nearby residents protested when the
power company sought to have the
site rezoned for the substation.
Two other suits ask for condem-
nation OF q right-of-way from the
power company lines at Columbia
pike and Sleepy Hollow road to a
slbstation site east TO Baileys Cross
roads. The suits list owners of prop
erty involved as G. w. Oliver, Made
lire Walker, Mrs. Izella w. Frye,
Frederick Z. Gray, Mrs. Carrie P.
Lee, Ruth Woodson, DR.. Ethyl SUIT
ton, Pauline w. Diggs and Adelaide

Postmon Retires After 80 Years
On Job He Didn't Mean to ! axe
Coaching Friends for
Test Led D.M. Stunton
Into New Cdreer

Daniel M. Stanton, TO, OF 1888
Thirtieth street NV, has retired
from a job in which he was to be
only a coach" 80 years ago.
A mail carrier throughout George
town, and more recently in the COL
ony Hill and other adjoining North
west sections, Mr.. Stanton Tues
'day-his last day--trudged just as
lightly through the snow and slush
as he did in 1917. 1t was to be his
final walk carrying mail.
And he hadn't meant to be a
mail carrier at all.
In 1916. when he was an agent
with the Prudential Life Insurance
Co. here, he coached three friends
in what he thought they'd be asked
In a civil service examination for
jobs OF mail carrier and postal clerk.
Takes Test, Passes.
He accompanied them to the old
Civil Service Building in the 1700
block of F street NV. "just to see
what the exam was. like" Interested,
he took the examination. His friends
failed. He passed. It was a year
before he could leave his job with
Prudential.
Tuesdays bad weather compelled
him to take an hour longer than
the two necessary to cover the five-
mile route and visit nearly 500
families.
/, Some 40 persons. intimate friends
and casual acquaintances, sent him
we'll wishes to the Georgetown Post
Once, out of which he worked.
Many others bade him farewell as
he delivered mail to their homes.
At his office, fellow workers cheered
him and presented him with $50
Savings Bond. Among other things
received were a suitcase and wallet.
His most recent route had taken
him from the 100 block of Hoban
road NV, into the 4400 block of
Reservoir road NV. and the 4600
blocks Of Kenmore drive and
Charleston terrace NV.
About Is years ago, he saved the
life of a woman from gas in the $500
block of @ street NV. On deliver
ing mail to her apartment building,
he was told by another woman on
the second floor that gas was es-
Gaping from the apartment below.
