Shirley Route
Shifted 10 Save
Church Rdziing
Highway Extension
To Pass Through
Woodbridge Area
BY MARY LOU WERNER
star stan Writer

RICHMOND. Mar. ia
new route bypassing st. Paul's
Methodist Church today was
approved for extension Of Shir-
ley highway through the Wood
bridge area.
The Virginia Highway Com
mission approved the new To-
cation unanimously. resembling
the previous route which would
have meant destruction of the
church and Of 10 houses.
The route approved today
curves west Of the Woodbridge
community, and will require
the destruction of 10 houses
which were not involved in the
previous route.
A final plea was made for
the route first approved by the
Highway Commission by Dele
gate James M. Thomson of
Alexandra and Robert v. H.
Duncan, Alexandria real estate
man.
Declare Church Advised
Mr.. Thomson and Mr.. Dun
can said they were speaking
for landowners who preferred
the first route approved by the
Highway Commission because
it was closer to the established
business area.
The church. said Mr.. Thorn
son. had been advised of the
first highway route before it
went ahead with its new build
ing.
Mr.. Duncan said he did not
like to see a church taken
down, but believed in the long
run it would be better than to
carry the traffic artery away
from the Woodbridge area.
The route approved today
curves sharply westward around
Woodbridge and rejoins the
route previously approved about
miles south. From there on,
/ it is identical with the first APP
proved route all the way to
Triangle. where the project
ends.
Part Of New System
The Shirley highway extern
sion is part of the new Federal
interstate highway system.
I D. B. Fugate, chief engineer !
told the commission that when
the price of buying the church
| lsa-considered, the route ap-'
proved today will cost about
$250,000 more than the route
. first approved. He said a fur
ther reduction might be made
because the new route can be
joined more easily with the
present terminus of Shirley
highway.

argued before the court that
an earlier statute, which makes
the carrying of a concealed
dangerous weapon a crime was
not superseded by the later
possession statute. The latter
spells out that possession Of a
dangerous weapon is a crime
only If there is intent to use
it unlawfully.
However, Judge Ficklin
noted that the later statutes
specifically refer to long bladed
knives, whereas the earlier law
does not. Therefore, he con-
cluded, the newer. more speci-
fic provision must apply in
such cases.
The ruling broke precedent
set by other Municipal Court
judges. According to court OBJ
servers. other judges have beer
applying the. earlier statute
when the later one did moi
apply.

Zone Advisory
Dissolved
Work on Droftinq
Regulations Cited

The District Commissioners
today dissolved the three-and-
a-half -year-old Citizens Zoning
Advisory Committee headed by
Thomas j. Groom, president
of the Bank of Commerce.
The committee Of more than
go business and real estate
leaders aided in drafting new
city-wide coming regulations
which are now being printed.
Mr.. Groom suggested the
committees dissolution early in
January after the Zoning Com
mission declined to consult the
committee on the city remap-
ping, the final stage of the
coming revision. The commits
sion also refused % hold a pub
lie hearing on the maps.
Changes in Lewis Plan
The Groom committee played
a major role in obtaining modi-
f1cations in a drastic coming
revision proposed by Harold M,
Lewis, a New York conSultant
hired by the city.
Many changes in the Lewis
proposals were asked in a pre-
liminary report by the group in
1856 and were accepted by the
commission. Mr.. Groom noted
today. The committees final
report, submitted last fall, made
additional proposals but the
committee head said he has not
been informed about official
action on this report.
The new coming rules have
not yet been made public. This
is expected to occur in May.
Board Is Enlarged
The commissioners in another
action today enlarged the board
/ for condemnation Of insanitary
dwellings from three to five
members.
Newly appointed to the group
were r. Donald Kinney. deputy
director of the licenses and in
spections department; William
Roeder, assistant sanitation SUI
perintendent, and John Croker
of the city's urban renewal
staff. Mr.. Kinney replaces Jo-

pointed licenses and inspec-
tons director.
Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Robert E. Mathe heads
the board. The other member
is William H. Cary, chief of the

Traces History
OF Water Castle
By GEORGE KENNEDY

For years the Rambler has
experienced an idle curiosity
every time he has passed the
Georgetown Reservoir.
Curiousity about the castle,
the valve house at the
washington end. Why did
it look so familiar?
OF late it has been sur
rounded by Scaffolding AZ

stucco facing, and a reader
has asked what's going on.
Yesterday the Rambler
went out there and, after
it was explained to him, the
familiarity of the design i'm
mediately became clear.
AS is well known, the
washington Aqueduct, which
brings water to the Capital
from the Potomac at Great
Falls "a pumping station at
Little Falls will soon be
added to the SYSTEM has al

and processing Of the raw
material.

NOW AS TO THE FAMILI-

WV AO ~ Ann
ARITY Of the design of "the
CASTLE" or Georgetown Gate
House as 1t is called in the
Water Department, it is this:
1t was built by engineer
officers around the turn Of
the century to look as much
as possible like the insignia
they have worn around the
world in peace and war.
The current reconstruction
is largely a matter Of over
coming the depredations Of
ivy. ''The castle" was never
under fire either from artil-
Iery or small arms.
The stucco. which gave q
e',rownstone appearance to
the brick structure, has been
removed and a new coat Of
stucco, gray this time. is re-
placing it. ala.
va The gatehouse is over the
gates or valves to the ducts
through which the water
flows from the Georgetown
Reservoir to the Mcmillan
Reservoir south of Soldiers
Home.
The principal change in
the mechanism within is the
installation of new screens.
The screens catch leaves
which get into the reservoir.
The old screens we're some
thing like a section of a
cyclone fence. When they
became clogged with leaves,
the diminution of the volume
Of water arriving at Nc
MILAN would be noticeable.
Workmen would pull the
screen up into the gatehouse
and clean off the leaves.
The new screens will be
flexible and looped over roll
ers in an endless belt.
When the accumulation of
leaves diminishes the flow of
water, a gauge will take note
Of this and start the rollers
rolling. This will dump the
leaves in a gutter at the top
where a jet of water will
wash them away-automa-
ton.
