Government snack bar was or

The board overruled a Health

velopment Of industry, public
facilities and highways.
The residential development
plan puts Eastern Fairfax
County in various urban, SUBJ
urban and rural residential
classifications. About go square
miles of the county's western
section is classified as agricul-
tural with a 2-acre minimum
lot size.
The agricultural facet Of the
plan still faces a second court
battle to test its legality. The
2-acre lot minimum is designed
to slow development in the
area Of the county farthest
from Washington until urban
facilities can be provided there
at a reasonable cost.
In the commercial master
plan, about $500 acres are to
be developed for business uses
by 1880. This is 500 acres more
than the county now has zoned
for commercial uses-centered
primarily in 10 suburban shop
ping centers and 10 smaller
rural shopping centers.
The Urban shipping centers
are situated at Annandale,
Belle Haven, Z Corners, Hay
field, Hybla Valley, Mclean,
Lincolnia, Pine Springs Rose
Hill and Springfield.
Among the rural centers the
board left Oakton, Burke and
Floris as they now are. It
added commercial acreage to
Chantilly, CentFeville, Colvin
Run, Dranesville, Forestville
and Navy. The board asked
the planning commission to re-
view the area around Lorton.
The sewerage phase of the
master plan outlines the
county's $40 million sewer pro-
gram now in its final stages.
Added to it are the areas now
served or planned to be served
by four towns in the county
and also the city Of Falls
Church.
The supervisors adopted the
three phases Of its master plan
ending four years Of study
which saw several public hear
ings and one court challenge.

Jones Point
Bridge Work

Ceremonies LIS feet of the
Alexandria shore today got the
long-awaited construction OF
the Jones Point Bridge formally
under way.

ltators and honor guests, in
IcIuding Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
Representative Broyhill. Re-
publican Of, Virginia. manned

/ to start driving the first bridge
lplling.
The $l4.9 million. concrete
and steel structure linking Vir-
ginia with Maryland through
the southern tip of the District
will be named in honor Of
President Wilson. It is sched-
uled for completion in 1861.
Mr.. Broyhill. author of the
legislation that launched the
project in the House, hailed the
bridge as a new gateway to
the future of Northern Virginia
and the City of Alexandria"
The Republican legislator
gave credit to House colleagues,
Representatives Smith of Vir-
ginia and Landlord of Mary
land, both Democrats, for their
efforts in pushing the bridge
legislation through Congress.
Joseph H. Saunders, preSi-
dent of the Alexandra Cham
Der, of Commerce, noted that
the touchdown point in Vir-
ginia also was that from which
Alexandria was first laid out
and that the lines delineating
the Nations Capital were fixed
by George Washington.
The ceremonial barge, which
happened to be located in the
District, was moored to Virginia
with Maryland only a few feet
eastward. The cost of the
8,400-foot bridge and causeway
will be borne jointly by the
three local jurisdictions and the
Federal Government. which is
supervising construction.
The first piers to be built will
be two channel supports for
the 50-foot-high baScule draw
span.
