Board at Arlington
To Bypass Planners
Who Refuse 10 Quit

The Arlington County Board
yesterday indicated it's dettsrmi-
nation to ignore five ho:-~-out
members of the county planning
commission who refused to ac-
cede to a board demand that
they resign.
The board expressed "disap-
pointment" over proposed zon-
ing ordinance amendment COW
ering luxury type apartments
prepared by the commission and
said it would confer with the
planning office" on the pro-
posed change.
Seven commission members
submitted their designations by
the Friday deadline stipulated by
the board. These designations
were accepted yesterday.
Five other commission mem
bers have refused to resign and
indicated they intend to carry on
the functions of planning and
coming recommendations with
out interruption. However, the
boards reference to future con-
ferences with the planning Of
f1ce." the professional planning
staff employed by the county,
indicated its intent to snub the
nold-outS.
Board members agreed that
they were disappointed in the
zorling change suggested by the
commission because it repre-
sented a lowering of restrictions
from the preliminary draft they
were given more than a month
ago.
One of the reasons given by
board member George M
Rowzee, jr., when he successfully
sponsored a motion asking for
the commission members res
ignations was the lack of action
on a zoning amendment cover
ing luxury apartments.
In another action yesterday
the board approved issuance OF
a use permit to Our Saviour
Lutheran Church, 825 South
Taylor street, for operation of
two-grade parochial school in
addition to its kindergarten
school.
| Some residents of the area
opposed the permit arguing it
would depreciate property values
and cause noise. Other nearby
residents submitted a petition in
support of the request.
! The board also approved the
purchase of three-story house
and lot at Fifteenth and North
Taft streets as the County We'll
fare Department headquarters.
The property is to be bought
from Mrs. Leonie NJ. Gilbert
( for $23,75O. The department is
now housed in rented quarters
on Courthouse square.

Planners 10 Consider
Foote Tract Rezoninq
Tomorrow Night

Proper location OF a major
regional shopping center in Fair
fax County is expected to be
argued before the county plan
ming commission tomorrow night
when rezoning of the 33-acre
Foote tract at Seven Corners
comes up for consideration.
Four children o: a former
slave who own the Foote tract
have contracted to sell it for
$750,000 provided the property
is zoned commercially. Only
seven acres now are Zoned for
commercial use. The other 26
acres are zoned urban resi-
Dental.
The regional shopping center
issue has been raised by a re-
port cf DR.. Homer Hoyt, who is
conducting an economic and
land-use survey of Fairfax
County.
DR.. Hoyt has advised men,
bers of the planning commits
sion that Fairfax County should
make every effort to get a
regional shopping center, but he
does not think the Foote tract
is large enough for that purpose,
He said a regional center should
havesat least "a acres.
DR.. Hoyt said Fairfax County's
major regional shopping center
should be within a mile of Seven
Corners. He predicted a depart
ment store in that area could
expect $40 million in gross sales
a year.
Besides a big regional shop
ping center, Dr.. Hoyt said Fair
fax needs a speciality shop CEN
ter. He said the county is par
ticularly shy of women's cloth
ing stores.
DR.. Hoyt's report was made in
response to the planning COM
MISSIONS request for advice on
the Foote tract rezoning.
After the planning commits
sion makes its recommendation,
the rezoning application goes to
the Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors for final action.

Joint SEWAGE
Plant Project
Alexandria Linkup
Expected to Suve
Nearly SIS Million
By Mory Lou Werner

Fairfax County and Alexan-
dria at last are near agreement
on a joint sewage disposal sys-
tenn which would save taxpayers
of the two communities nearly
SIS million in the next 10 years.
The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors has notified the
Alexandria Sanitation Author
ity to go ahead with prepara-
ton Of detailed plans for the
joint system.
This. in effect, commits Fair
fax to the joint use plan.
Arrangements Being Made.
Attorneys for both the county
and the city now are preparing
agreements to make the joint
arrangement binding. These con-
tracts are being prepared on a
yearly basis since Fairfax has
been advised that the county
can not enter into any per-
petual agreement. Bond attor-
neys have advised the authority
that the annual contracts would
not jeopardize bond issues. and
the authority seems willing to
go along on that basis.
All financing. constructing and
operation would be handled by
the Alexandria Sanitation Au-
thority. Fairfax would pay its
share of the cost annually to the
authority.
Total cost Of the joint system
would be $9,4 million. Alexan-
dria's share would be $6.3 million
and Fairfax's would be slightly
over SO million.
Saving in Operation.
The system would serve all Of
Alexandria and would accom-
modate portions of Fairfax
County in the Holmes Run drain
drainage area. Part of Fairfax
County in the Holmes run drain
age area already is connected
to a sewer system and a dis
posal plant is under construction,
but it is expected to reach its
capacity by 1855.
If Alexandria and Fairfax
proceed separately. the total cost
would be $11.9 million. The cost
to Alexandria would be $7.2 mil
lion and to Fairfax, SAC million.
Besides the construction eco
nomy in a joint system, engineers
calculate $2.1 million savings
in operating costs during the
next 19 years.
Disposal Plant Included.
The joint system would include
a large disposal plant at Hunting
Creek: intercepting sewers along
the Potomac River and Common
wealth avenue in Alexandria; in
tercepting sewers along Holmes
Run and Cameron Run in Alex
andrla ana parts OF Fairfax
County.
James j. Corbalis jr., engineer
director of the Alexandria Sani-
tation Authority, estimated it
would be six to eight months be-
fore detailed plans are completed,
bonds are sold and construction
can begin.
The idea for a joint Alexan-
dria- Fairfax sewage system grew
out of the Northern Virginia re-
gional sewage survey, sponsored
by Alexandria, Fairfax. Arling-
ton and Falls Church. More than
a dozen possible alternatives for
sewage disposal in Northern Vir-
ginia were considered. The Alex
andria- Fairfax plan emerged as
the most economical.

East West Cooperation Paves
Way For Refugee Marriages

no diplomatic relations exist be-

tries behind the iron Curtain" ec-
clesiastical authorities on both
sides of the line cooperate in OBJ
tanning documents for refugees
from these areas particularly in
marriage cases.
Many of The millions oil refugees
in Western Germany lack baptis-
NAL certificates, records regarding
Confirmation, freedom TO marry,
etc. To overcome these difficulties
and still ensure full compliance
with the canonical rules regarding
marriage, German Church authori-
ties have set up here a special reg
istry office for refugees which
helps in obtaining such documents.
In many cases this is a very COM

because in some eastern areas dew
