Meat Store Appeals
Fairfax Injunction

A permanent injunction has
been granted in Fairfax Circuit
Court against the operation of a
controversial meat market on
Leesburg pike several miles west
Of TysonS Corner. An appeal
was noted Immediately.
The court order by Judge Ar
thur w. Sinclair was granted at
the request of the Board Of
County Supervisors, who have
been trying for more than a
year to close the meat market
because they claim it violates
county coming regulations.
In the order, Judge Sinclair
upheld the contention OF Fair
fax Commemorative Attorney
Robert c. Fitzgerald that opera
ton Of a meat market Of the
type involved in the case is not
permitted in an agricultural
zone.
The order bars j. H. Pflieger
and his sister, Bertha Pfliegcr,
from operating a meat store
called Steer Inn on the Pflieger
farm. They claimed they were
entitled to sell meat killed on
the farm. Judge Sinclair held,
however. that evidence showed
meats sold in their store was
not raised on the farm, but was
brought there for slaughtering
and sale.
The Piiegers posted $500 bond
yesterday to appeal the case and
in the meantime the store can
remain open under Judge Sim
clair's order.
