ing for a horse which had run

nearby. Silver Spring.

Arlington Acts
To Keep Ban on
Unmarked Cars
UniobeIed Police
Cruisers Deemed
Breueh Of Rights

The Arlington County Board
yesterday reaffirmed its policy
against using unmarked police
cruisers after a blast by one of
its members. Wesley W. Cooper,
against subjecting county citi-
zens to further harrassment."
An Arlington Safety Council
recommendation for using un-
marked cars was turned down by
the board as an "unwanted in
trusion upon the rights Of Ar
lington citizens"
Mr.. Cooper said Arlington
operates one of the most fabu-
lous fine-collecting agencies in
traffic history. Since Arlington
citizens are already put through
a financial wringer in our traffic
court to the tune of $4,000 a
year, see no basis for Subjecting
them to further harrassment."
Use of unmarked police cruisers
was discontinued several years
ago. County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg said. The board yesterday
upheld the policy unanimously.
Further Board Action
The board authorized partici-
patton in a Washington area
mass transportation study, au-
thorized by Congress. The Ma
tional Capital Regional Planning
Council had asked all jurisdic-
tions to submit written reports
by their planning stats on their
transportation problems.
The board also heard a plea
that -commuter trains
be considered among the solu-
tionS to the mass transportation
problem. The request by Charles
C. Carter. president of the Car
ter Rapid Transit Co., was re-
ferred to the Northern Virginia
Planning and Economic Devel-
opment commission for consid-
Grafton.
The board adopted a new pay
scale for county employees which
provides a 5 per cent increase.
Funds for the increase were pro-
provided in the new budget and
higher taxes which take effect
July /.
Scheduled Motel Protested
The board received a protest
that a tract on South Twenty
eighth street, rezoned last No
vember for apartment develop,
ment, is scheduled to have a
motel built on it. On request of
Mrs. Gene Goudie, who said she
spoke for residents Of Aurora
Hills, the board decided to meet

The tract has changed hands
since the rezoning.
