3 Big Fairfax Tracts
Rezoned by Board

Three large Fairfax County
tracts were reZoned from rural
to suburban and urban use by
the County Board of Supervisors
yesterday.
Reclassified from rural to urban
was a 26-acre tract on the West
side of the Falls Church An
nandale road near Bel Air sub
division. Nearby residents pro-
tested, declaring small lot sizes
permitted in urban zones would
encourage construction of cheap
houses.
The supervisors pointed out,
however, that most adjacent
property already is zoned urban.
AS the application was made be-
fore minimum lot sizes were
raised, the rezoning will permit
7 7,200-square-foot lots. New regu-
lations require urban lots to have
a minimum of 8.400 square feet.
Applicants were Raymond H.
Lee, Lorena c. Lee, Luce Lee
Rollins, Douglas H. Rollins and
Randolph D. Rouse.
A 38-acre tract, about 500 feet
north of Popkins lane. near Buck
nell Manor, was rezoned from
rural at urban. There was no op-
position. Applicants we're ]. Ken
meth Aitcheson, Virginia C. Aitch-
eson, Elmer r. Duncan, Dorothy
A. Duncan, A. r. Rollins and
George A. Ford.
On petition of Luria Bros, de-
Ivelopers, the supervisors rezoned
19 acres adjacent to Holmes Run
Park from rural to suburban. Un-
der the classification minimum lot
size is 10000 square feet, but the
developers said they planned to
use $4,000 square-foot lots.
The supervisors took under ad-
visement the proposed 1951-52
school budget of $4,919,245, which
was presented by Schools Supt
w. T. Woodson. A school budget
will be adopted next month, to-
lgether with the county operating
budget. The supervisors have au-
thority to cut the school budget

Problems Of County Police
Chiefly Dogs and Neighbors

Complaints to Prince Georges
County police deal chiefly with
two things-neighbors or dogs
according to Corpl. Roland Sweit-
zer, instructor of rookie policemen
who spoke last night to the Belts
Vile Evansville Citizens Associa-
ton.
Corpl. Sweitzer told the group
formerly the Vansville Citizens
Association, that complaints in
built-up or metropolitan areas
are usually about neighbors
while in the rural sections, dogs
are the problem.
Maj. F. A. Richards, new
county police chief, told mem
bers that as many arrests have
been made in the two-montt
period since he took office as in
the two years before. He said he
asked for 20 additional police
men.
The group agreed to buy $500
dogwood trees for beautifying the
neighborhood and heard Robert
Wester, Department of Agricul-
ture associate horticulturist tell
how to grow dogwood success
fully.

Advisory Group Backs
.S4.8 Million in Bonds
For Arlington Schools

Arlington's proposed $4.875, ,O0C
school construction bond issue
today had the support of the
|county's School Construction Ad-
|visory Council.
Meeting with the School Board
last night, the 20-member advis-
'ory council gave its Endorsement
to the new bond issue proposal for
which a referendum is to be held
April II.
The advisory council of build
ers, architects and businessmen
was appointed by the School
Board to study school building
plans after a SIS million school
construction bond issue was de-
feated in a referendum last No
vember.
A scent tax levy to raise $1l5.-
900 for school equipment and re-
modelling of old schools also was
indorsed by the Advisory Coun-
Gil. The sum is included in the
proposed budget that Schools
Supt. William A. Early has rec
commended to the County Board.
Half for Wakefield School.
The Advisory Council declared
that Arlington's school population
would exceed 10000 by the fall
of 1852 and that the capacity of
permanent classrooms in COM
pleted buildings and those soon
to be under construction is ap-
proximately 1880.
The councils resolution also
pointed out that progress can
be made Immediately when funds
are available on Wakefield Junior
Senior High School, and Clare
mont, Fillmore and Nottingham
Elementary Schools. and on ad-
dition to Jackson, Kemper and
Stewart school buildings"
The School Board has said that
about half of the bond money
will be used for the Wakefield
School and the remainder will be
spent to build as many of the
proposed elementary schools as
possible and for sites.
No Federal Grant This Year.
Colin c. Macpherson, School
Board chairman, meanwhile dis
closed that Arlington can expect
no Federal grants for school con-
this year.
This points up the need for
voters to approve the $4,875.0 900
bond issue when they go to the
polls April IT," said Mr.. Mac
Pherson.
Erick L. Lindman, director of
the Office of Education's division
of school assistance, has advised
the county that there is only $46.5
to be distributed through
out the country and that only
the communities with the most
urgent need can expect any help.
He placed Arlington's needs be-
low that of several hundred other
school districts.

Quotes on New Taxes
Were Out Of Context
Mrs. Cannon CHARGES

Mrs. Florence Cannon. Airing
ton County Board chairman
charged today that she had been
quoted "out of context" by Will
liam Hassan and other members
of the Democratic Council.
The Democrats said Mrs. Can
non, a non-partisan, had indi-
Gated there would be little. if any
increase in tax bills as a result OF
the recent reassessment of real
estate and a 1872 tax rate OF
$2.65 per 500 valuation.
Mrs. Cannon declared:
When the reassessment notices
were being sent out many citizens
were disturbed because. for the
first time in Arlington's history,
their property had been appraised
at fair market value.
1T was to those people that
gave the assurance that even
though their assessment might
have been doubled their tax bills
would not be because I felt sure
there would be at least a Is per
cent reduction in the tax rate
possibly as much as a dollar: that
If the assessment. on their prop
erty had been increased so per
cent their tax bill would be only
slightly higher; that if there had
been only Small increase in their
assessment it was even possible
their tax bills would not increase
at ALL"
Mrs. Cannon also said:
II realize that Mr.. Hassan Is
making a bid for public Office and
must keep in the limelight. but he
should try to do so more intelli-
gently. Sometime ago he denied
my suggestion that the local DEM
ocrats are fighting for their po-
litical lives. He said they were
fighting the Better Government
League. If that is true it is ap-
parent they are against all the
principles of good government
for which the league stands"

Greenbelt Councilman Frank j.
Lastner charged today that the
1900 residents of the town would
be isolated if the Capital Transit
Co. goes through with its plan to
abandon the bus line serving that
area.
Mr.. Lastner was the first wit
ness to testify in the second day
of the Maryland Public Service
Commission hearing on the COM
pany's proposal to discontinue
service on eight nearby Maryland
j bus lines April !.
| He told the commission the
nearest public transportation
would be at Branchville, nearly
three miles away.
Also affected by the proposal,
he said, would be about 500
Greenbelt high school students
and approximately 1000 Berwyn
Heights residents.
Government Plans Mentioned.
While agreeing with the COM
pany's claim that it is losing
money on the Greenbelt line. Mr.
Lastner contended more Green
belt residents would use the line
if better service were provided.
He said it takes about one and a
half hours to get to downtown
Washington.
Il understand the Government
anticipates placing about 5000
additional employees in the Green
belt-Branchville area" Mr.. Last
ner said. IF they don't get public
transportation, the Government
probably will not go through with
| its plan. thus resulting in loss
of revenue for Maryland.
Questions fired at company wit
nesses yesterday indicated citizen
groups intend to base their op-
position to the proposal on the
firms large earnings in 1850 from
its overall operations in the Wash
ington area.
They were expected to insist
that the company must maintain
the service, even in the face cf
heavy losses, if the entire system
shows a net profit.
An interested spectator at the
Opening hearing yesterday in the
Silver Spring Armory was Manuel
j. Davis, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Oriole Motor
Coach Lines, which serves sections
of Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties.
Considers Operation.
Mr.. Davis told reporters his
company will study the testimony
to determine whether it would be
feasible to take over the eight
buslines if they are abandoned.
Capital Transit Co. attorneys,
asked whether the firm would OBJ
ject to such a move, said the
question would have to be decided
by the Board of Directors.
Commission Chairman John
Hessey interjected, however, that
this is a matter for the commits
sion to decide, irrespective of the
Capital Transit Co.'S decision. -
His statement brought applause
from the nearly 800 persons pres
ent.
Earlier. Mr.. Hessey also was ap-
plauded by the citizens when he
denied a charge by Samuel Jacobs,
of Greenbelt, that the commission
appeared to be favoring the transit
company.
