Two Housing Projects
Obtain Approval Of
Alexandra Planners

Plans for two large housing de-
velopments in Alexandria were
approved last night by the Plan
ming Commission after some re-
visions.
The Commission acted in execu-
tive session after a three-hour
hearing. The Commissions rec
concentrations now go to the City
Council for final action.
The 54-acre Hume tract and the
I51-acre Bookings tract were the
properties approved for develop
ment. Both won approval under
the city's new Community Unit
Plan. This exempts large tracts
from coming regulations provided
the population density does not
exceed the zone in which they are
located.
Boundaries of Hume Site.
The Hume property is bounded
by Mt. Vernon avenue, Mt. Ida
subdivision and the Washington
and Old Dominion railroad right
|of-way.
Plans for development of both
tracts previously had been disap-
proved by the Planning Commits
sion, but they were reviewed last
night after the developers drafted
|revisitaS.
For the Hume tract, the Plan
ming Commission recommended
that a 100-foot strip along the
south and west boundaries be used
for single family detached homes
on 5000 square-foot lots. The rest
of the tract was approved for row
houses. This would reduce the
number of row houses from orig
inally requested 592 to about $40.
Compromise Accepted.
The Planning Commission ap-
proved a compromise for the
Bookings tract whereby approx
mately Is acres along Braddock
road and along the Ruffner prop
erty would be retained as a single
family residential zone for at least
10 years. The remaining IS acres
of the Brookings property was ap-
proved for a 492-unit apartment
development.
The Bookings property is
bounded by Shirley Highway,
Leeburg pike and Braddock road.
It lies in the territory recently an
nexed from Fairfax County.

Route 24O Relocation
Report Due in July

A group of Montgomery County
citizens was advised last night
that a final engineering report on
relocation of Route 240 will be
ready in July.
Engineers Wilson T. Ballard and
Joseph Knoerle, who were hired
to study the pike route, and Nor
man M. Pritchett of the State
Roads Commission addressed a
meeting at the Montrose American
Legion Hall sponsored by the Lux
manor Citizens Association.
' They said they had hoped to
finish the final engineering re-
port by this time, but delays in
aerial surveys had postponed the
completion date until July. The
survey is a restudy of the pro-
posed new pike route. The engi-
|neers said it will pinpoint the new
pike location.

Worms Called Cause
|Of Death of Robins
In Hdgerstown
BY the Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, April 10.
|-Hagerstown's robins appear to
be dying from a worm infection,
"a researcher said today.
DR.. William r. Teeter of the
Livestock Sanitary Service said an
examination of three dead birds
disclosed the existence of tiny
tape worms and round worms in
the vital organs.
DR.. Teeter said he was not ruling
out other causes of death among
robinS-ScoreS of which have been
found dead here recently-but he
said there was no doubt that
worms were responsible for the
deaths of the three he examined.
He said the worm eggs prob
ably were in the food eaten by the
birds and that the worms devel-
oped inside the birds bodies. The
eggs could easily have been picked
up while the robins were winter
ing in the south, he added.
The death of the birds has led
to the demand by one city coun-
Gilman for a full-scale investiga-
ton. Several theories have been
advanced, including one that the
birds were poisoned by eating in
sects that had been killed by DOT
and other insecticides.

Persons who hold to such a

he didn't say so, was obviously

Arlington Board Hears
Businessmen Attack
Proposed Tax Boost

Proposed increases in business
and professional license tax rates
in Arlington met with strong op-
position at public hearing held
by the County Board last night.
A proposal by the Chamber of
Commerce that the County Board
hold the line on present taxes in
all categories was applauded by
an estimated $50 business and
professional men.
Robert johnson, business man.
ager of the trade group, offered
these solutions to the county's
budget woes:
/. Broaden the tax base by get
ting more business into the county.
2. Increase local business, and
ultimately revenues from business
sources, by promoting a "buy-in-
Arlington" program,
3. Cut all expenditures for the
coming fiscal year to the barest
essentials.
Would Double Rates.
The hearing, held in the Thomas
Jefferson Junior High School, was
called to consider proposed in
creases which more than double
present rates charged to consider
proposed increases which more
than double present rates charged
business and professional men.
Mr.. johnson expressed disap-
prevail of the method of assessing
the tax as unjust. The tax is
levied on the gross receipts of
each license. Mr.. Johnson said
gross receipts of an enterprise
have no bearing on the actual net
profit.
DR.. Lloyd B. Burk, jr.. repre-
Senting the Arlington Medical So
ciety, declared the expenses of OPP
Grating a physicians Office may
run as high as 60 per cent of the
gross receipts. He termed it "un-
fair" to levy a tax on these gross
figures.
Others who expressed the same
opinion included Denman T.
Rucker, president. of the Airing
ton Bar Associations; Nathaniel
Goldberg, speaking in behalf of
a group of chain food stores, and
Garland Clark, a spokesman for
Safeway Stores, Inc.
Civic Group Backs Plan.
Howard Cannon, spokesman
for the Arlington Civic Fedora
ton, said his group fully supports
the proposed increases. He de-
clared the rates charged in Airing
ton are far below those in Alex
andria.
Harley M. Williams, spokesman
for the Columbia Pike Citizens
Association, told the board his
group also favors imposition of
the increased rates. He said bust
ness interests are better able to
pay higher taxes than county
property owners caught in the in
flationary spiral with fixed in
comes.
The board must act on a pro-
posed $14 million budget before
midnight on April 80. 1t will set
the tax rate on real and personal
property. as well as the rate on
business and professional license
taxes at the time the budget is
adopted.
