To Protect
Bond Issue

The Fairfax Board Of County
Supervisors has filed a circuit
court suit to establish legality
Of the county's S4.8 million
parks and recreation bond
issue.
The supervisors decided two
weeks ago to file the suit, after
learning it was the best way
to prevent actions aimed at
nullifying the bond issue.
The parks issue, which was
approved by the voters by a
margin Of only 1875 votes in the
November 8 election, earlier
had been attacked in a petit
ton filed by about 10 county
residents.
The petition later was with
drawn with the understanding
that future action would be
filed against the bond issue.
In a letter to the supervisors.
Harley M. Williams of the
County Taxpayers Alliance said
there were apparent discrep-
ancies" in the parks bond elec-
ton. Mr.. Williams was among
those who signed the petition.
He asked for a recount at pub
lie expense, citing what he
called discrepancies in each of
the county's magisterial dis
tricts.
At the November election,
voters approved four out of six
bond items in an So million
proposal.
The county's latest legal
move is aimed at blocking any
further dispute over the bond
issue.

politan jurisdiction.
Fairfax County has had a
fire prevention code since 1858
but that code was so broad, of
flcials felt, that persons af-
fected had difficulty in finding
detailed specifications.
Specific Standards
The new code spells out
standards for business and
commercial developments and
defines more closely the re-
sponsibilities Of the county fire
marshal.
Roughly 80 different kinds
Of businesses would be required
to obtain permits under the
code. The old code required nc
permits, except for fireworks.
Fire officials expect that
about 200 businesses will be
affected by the permit require
ments. Among the kinds OF
businesses for which permits
Will be required are bowling

poned until February Is.

72-year-old widow were found
last August 16.
Motherwell's Washington at
torney. John T. Reyes, said he
asked for the postponement be-
cause an expert witness for the
defense will not be available
next month.
Prosecutor Gordon I. Smith
was agreeable because the State
also needs more time, Mr.. Reyes
said.
Mr.. Reyes did not name the
witness. but he said he would
testify concerning Identification
Of the dead woman's remains.
Motherwell has been con-
fined since August 25, when he
was arrested by the FBI in At
lanta.
The fortyish, smooth-talking
carpenter. who has lived off
and on in Washington for the
last several years, was allowed
to talk long-distance to his
wife and baby daughter here
on Christmas Day-at State
expense, Mr.. Reyes said.
He said Motherwell again
expressed confidence he would
be cleared, and told his wife,
Johephine, to be patient and
cheerful"
Motherwell and Mrs. Putney
journeyed cross country to-
gether from Washington in the
summer of 1858. They spent
the night Of August IA at a
motel in Marysville, Calf, about
80 miles from Downieville.
They checked out the fol-
lowing day, and Mrs. Putney

portion to the number Of stu
dents. There is no similar
requirement under present
county regulations.
The suggested parking law
also would require parking for
new schools and new churches
IN proportion to auditorium or
sanctuary seating capacities.
There is no similar requirement
for churches under present
county laws.
Tom Moore, planning direc-
tor, said the Stricter standards
for new schools would not have
too much effect because most
OF Arlington's schools are al
ready built.
He said several legal and
policy questions have yet to be
worked out in determining how
the proposed standards would
apply to churches that might
want to expand or remodel
existing facilities and lack
adequate parking.
In addition to setting park
ing standards for new schools
and churches, the proposed
ordinance would require higher
parking space requirements for
other types Of new buildings.
Several months ago the
Planning Commission forwarded
the proposed law to the Coun-
ty Board with the comment
that It was too restrictive,
particularly in built up areas,
and that it was not devised to
solve the parking problem

The major thoroughfare plan
calls for extending North Van
Dorm street to serve as a serv-
ice road parallel with Shirley
highway and extending south
westward to tie in with the new
circumferential highway.
The Fort Williams parkway
is to be extended to tie in with
North Howard street, and an
entirely new road is proposed
to run parallel with Seminary
road between Seminary and
Holmes Run.
A service road is proposed
through the industrial park
area parallel with the railroad,
and extensions are to be added
to Pickett street, Holmes Run
parkway. Taney avenue and
some smaller streets.
The changes in the major
thoroughfare plan were made
to bring it into conformity with
the new land use plan, Mr..
Cahill said. The city adopted
the original thoroughfare plan
in 1858.

Mr.. Cahill termed develop
ment Of the land use plan "an
important step" for the city
in planning for its future
growth. He stressed that the
plan is not binding, but is used
only as a guide for rezonings.
He said residents in the af-
fected areas and their citizens
associations will be asked to
comment on the proposed plan
to determine their feelings be-
fore it is formally presented to
the city council.
A mass meeting will be held
to hear public reaction, Mr..

set, however. After that, the
plan will go to the planning
commission for its recon-
mendations to the city council.

The suggested land use map,
drafted by the city's planning
staff, is the first step toward
developing a comprehensive
master plan to chart Alexan-
dria's future growth.
Included on the map also is
a revised version of the city's
major thoroughfare plan for
the half of Alexandria, lying
west Of Quaker lane, which was
annexed from Fairfax County
in 1852.
Proposed land uses are being
defined first in the western sec
tion because at present that
area is relatively undeveloped
compared with the older sec
tions.

Planning Director Denis H.
Cahill said the next step will be
a land use plan for the down.
town or "old port" section, in
cluding the proposed urban re-
newal project, waterfront re-
novationS and a revision Of
Route / in that area.
Planning for the north
central section will be left until
last because land uses are more
stabilized in that area, Mr..
Cahill said.
Major changes in the new
land use plan include:
l. Increased industrial coming
in the area south of Duke street
and west of Reynolds street,
providing a large industrial
park in the entire southern
portion Of the annexed area.
2. Reduction of commercial
zoning in the area around the
intersection Of Shirley high
