County to Join in Suit
Over Donated Capitol

The Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors has decided to Join
in a suit brought by IL county
residents to decide who owns
donated capital held by private
water companies.
The supervisors yesterday
voted to intervene in the water
suit, and employed Attorney
Frank Ball Of Arlington to fight
the case.
Commemorative Attorney
Robert C. Fitzgerald rec
commended against intervention
by the county.
"In my opinion, the county
has no interest in this particu-
lar suit-as far as the legal stu
alton is concerned said Mr..
Fitzgerald. He warned that an
adverse outcome would prejudice
the county's position in case it
decided to proceed with a suit
Of its own along tn same lines.
The suit brought by the prop
erty owners asks the court to
put donated capital in trust
for the customers who paid for
1t.
Most of the private water
companies in Fairfax County
were developed with the help Of
donated capital. This is the term
used to describe assets--like wa
ter mains-installed by develop
ers and turned over to the water
companies without cost. The
suit contends people who bought
homes from the developers ac-
tually paid for these assets and,
therefore, have an interest in
them.
Supervisor william Moss took
issue with Mr.. Fitzgerald's COM
nnents.

Arlington Plans Group
Faces Official Demise

This action went into effect on
September is. 1858.
To do the work of the COM
mission the board set Up two
advisory groups-the Zoning and
Land Use Committee and. to
handle the capital improvements
program and master plan work,
the Arlington Development Com
mittee.
Question Of Legality
To further confuse the situa-
ton, some attorneys argue that
the coming ordinance never was
amended actually because the
resolution was passed without
first consulting the commission
for its advice on a coming mat
ter. Others contend that the
15-member group never reached
the status of a commission be-
cause 1t did not fulfill certain
requirements outlined under q
State statute. Neither argu-
ment has ever been tested In
court.
Meanwhile. the terms Of three
of the members who declined to
Iresign-Matt Huppuch. Edward
lHincks and Joseph Ingram-will
expire in three weeks. This
would also have been the expira-
ton date for the terms OF the
last three members among those
who did submit designations.
A new element was injected
into the situation during last
years successful County Board
race by Ralph Raul and Davie
Krupsaw-who ran on the liberia
convention slate. The two
candidates, who took ofi1ce las
month, campaigned for rein
statement Of the commission.
It is considered likely thai
these two members will offer 6
resolution at the Saturday
meeting in line with theil
campaigns stand.

Barring an 11th-hour re-
lprieve, Arlington's Planning
Commission will put to rest Of
icially next month after more
than two years Of suspended
animation. -
On February 9, the terms OF
the last three members Of what
was once a l5-member body
will expire.
There is a strong possibility
that a move will be made at the
County Board meeting or
Saturday to restore the COM
mission. There is less chance
however, that such a resolution
will draw a favorable vote.
The advisory group has nevel
bee nvoted out Of existence. In
stead, recent County Boards al
lowed it to melt away by failing
to replace members when theil
terms ran out.
Shift in 1852 Election
The commissions death SEN
ltence actually was handed dowr
alta the polls during q special
election for three County Boarc
seats in the fall of 1852.
At that time. voters gave boarc
control to the Arlington Inde-
pendent Movement. a conserva'
tive coalition group. When thi'
new board took office. it cast 6
cold eye on the commission
which had been stalled by pre-
Ivious boards controlled by
more liberal faction.
The County Board was re-
Iquired to consult the commission
on coming an duse permit mat

h Membership on the commission
had been increased from five Il

McHugh Plan Voted, 81;
Faces Bitter Legal Battle

A legal storm brewed in Fair
fax County today over the Su-
pervisors' action to impose land
use recommendations Of Planning
Consultant Francis Dodd Nc
Hugh within 80 days.
BY a vote of 6 to /, the Board
Of County Supervisors yesterday
decided to advertise Mr.. Nc
Hugh's land use proposals for
adoption as an amendment to
the county coming ordinance
without waiting for a completed
master plan from the County
Planning Commission.
This would restrict develop
ment in roughly two-thirds Of
the county to three and five acre
lots. It has been the most con-
troversial feature of the McHugh
plan. which the planning COM
mission has been studying for 10
months.
Lawyers Forecast Battle
''Well have them in court the
day after they adopt this thing. "
said one attorney representing
two large landowners.
Another lawyer branded the
move interim coming" and also
promised to go to court to
fight it. Us
Opposition to the three and
i've acre lot restrictions has come
principally from rural landown-
ers and developers. The present
maximum is half-acre.

idea was to hold the coming line
as recommended by Mr.. Nc
Hugh until a master plan is
adopted.
1--WE don't have a master plan
yet." said Mr.. Freehill. But in
a shadowy way we try to guide
our decisions by the McHugh
recommendations. I feel it is
our responsibility to do all we
can to make certain this county
develops in an orderly fashion"
Mr.. Freehill acknowledged
that the final master plan I'M
doubtedll will include changes
from the plan recommended by
Mr.. McHugh, but said:
Nevertheless, it is apparent
that the McHugh Master Plan
comes far closer to the coming
desired by the people of the
county than that now on the

There is no need to defer
