contractors original contract
was for $4,170,000.
Mr.. Roth gave assurance,
however, that work will be
resumed Monday at full speed.
But he warned that winter
weather may cause another ex-
pensive delay.
Plumbing Plans Rejected
The official of the George
A. Fuller Co. of Washington
blamed the delay chiefly on the
county's two reflections of
architects plumbing plans. The
work was halted July 20. -Four
days later a third set of plans
was approved, but the net re-
suit was a 2 to 21a months
showdown in construction, Mr..
Roth said.
The Sc million, seven-story
hospital is under construction
on a 38-acre tract at GallowS
road near U. S. Route so. 1t
will provide 800 beds and seven
operating rooms. Construction
costs will be split between the
Federal and county govern
ments, and an additional
100000 will be raised by public
subscription.
Mr.. Roth said he hopes the
concrete construction can be
completed by the end of De-
cember instead of by the end
of September. Plans are now
for the hospital frame to be
under a roof by April / instead
of by January 81. he added.
Future work stoppages are
possible because some problems
remain about the architects
plumbing plans, Mr.. Roth
noted.
The committee was formed
by the Board of Supervisors

investigate the reasons for the
work delays.

length. At one point, committee
member Carl D. Soresi, a hospi-
tai board trustee observed:
THE county needs more than
one hospital and is desperately
in need of beds for patients. A
delay is more serious to the
county than extra expense"
Original plans called for
completion by November, 1860.
However, bad weather delayed
site clearing and construction
began on March IL. about nine
weeks late.
Mr.. Roth said the architects
engineers had their plumbing
plans rejected on April 10 and
July IS because they did not
conform with the county's
building code.
Construction began slowing
May 7 because of the lack of
plumbing plans and was
stopped entirely on July 20 be-
cause at that point the con-
tractor had to know where the
pipes were to be laid. the Fuller
officials said.
The county approved plans

Republicans have named AL

one Of the two board seats to
be filled in November when
Mr.. Raul and Mr.. Krupsaw
are up for reelection on the
ABC ticket.
Il regret Also" Mr.. Raul
said. that efforts to unity the
party in Arlington and invite
participation Of all elements
in the party were completely
rebuffed by the reactionary
machine element in the recent
organization meeting. A great
many loyal Democrats who
believe in party unity and in
tegrity are dismayed by these
machine decisions and tactics"
At a recent organization
meeting the majority bloc
named its members to all of
the key committee offices.
Meanwhile. Leo Urbanske,
former Democratic chairman
and a member of the ABC
minority, said he was consider
ing resigning from the COM

Possibility Of Change
If Mr.. Urbanske resigns, the
vacancy would be filled by an

There is a possibility that the

I owe lot of people something

candidate for the committee

Reduction in
Bus Service

Bus service from Washington
to the Atomic Energy Commits
sion headquarters in German
town. Md. may be reduced as
a result Of a July drop in pas
sengers. a bus company spokes-
man said today.
When the Federal Govern
ment stopped substituting bus
service on June 80. the one-way
fare from Fifteenth and X
streets NV. to the Acc rose
from so to rs cents. Roy A.
Chew. vice president of the
VIVA Transit Co., said.
The transit firm. which has
applied to purchase the Sub
urban Transit Co., now operates
two Suburban routes to the
AEC-one along Sixteenth
street, Georgia avenue and
Viers Mill road and the other
along River road and Falls road.
Mr.. Chew said that during
the past week the average num-
Der of daily passengers was
only 26. as compared to 80 at
the beginning of the month.
He said the passenger loss
might be the result of a SUM-
mer slump" or that some pas
sengers have switched TO car
pools because Of the higher
fare.
The transit firm official said
that if the decline in passen-
gers continues, the company
may schedule only one morn
ing trip to the Acc and one
return trip in the afternoon.
He said the company had mo
intention" of dropping the serv-
ice entirely.

Edward C. Bell, town attor-
ney, said Laurel has its own
building inspector who enforces
the county code. He said the
work now will be unnecessarily
duplicated by the county and
builders will be charged twice
for permits.
Mr.. Bell also questioned
W h t her the county legally
could impose its code on an
area where it already is en-
forced.
Farley to Be Set
Robert B. Matthias, county
attorney, said the county acted
legally. Mr.. Baggett, however,
agreed to arrange a meeting be-
tween county and Laurel Of
f1cials to discuss the matter.
Mr.. Baggett argued that to
exclude Laurel would set a
precedent for future requests
of exclusion from the building
code. In the meaptime, Mr..
Matthias said it would be legal
for both the town and county
to charge for building permits.
The commissioners also hired
James M. Rea of Bladensburg
as an assistant county attorney.
He will receive a salary of $4,-
100 yearly for the part-time job
and work with the county's

The 1856 Mercury hardtop,
which is a total loss, owned
and driven by Mr.. Vallejo, left
the right shoulder of the road
while making a left curve. The
car Travelled approximately 1870
feet in the bar pit before striking

sailed through the air for some

The car rolled end over end
four times in a distance of about
$50 feet, coming to a stop so feet

thrown clear of the car as it
relied end over end.
Kappel, though severely injured,
walked to a farm house for help.
When KappeI returned with help
it was impossible to fine Vallejo

starting at 900 am. the morning

The parade will start from there
at 1890 am. going down Main

one block to End Avenue, turn
left and go four blocks south past
the hospital, turn left to Central
Avenue and north up Central

Here the parade will disperse.
Viewers are asked to park their
cars on any parade route other
than Central Avenue. This will
help to keep traffic problems at
a minimum.
The Saddle Club is happy to
report that the local merchants
and business places are again re-
spending generously with contrib
