INSULT TO ARLINGTON
County Rops Winston
For Charter Chonoe

The Arlington County Board
yesterday took one Of the coun-
tvs legislators to task for
changing a proposed city char
ter on which the board had re-
quested State legislative action,
The vice chairman, Herbert
L. Brown, said Delegate Will
liam L. Winston used "very
poor judgment" and called the
action quite improper"
Board member Leo Urbanske
called Mr.. Winston's action an
insult to the County Board.
The proposed charter would
govern Arlington If county resi-
dents ever decided to incorpo-
rate into a city.
The boards criticism Stemmed
from Mr.. Winston's elimina-
ton Of a provision which would
allow the county governing
body, upon q vote of the people
to transfer some Of the func-
tions of the present commits
sioner Of revenue and the
treasurer to a director of f.
nance.
Under a director Of finance
the governing body would have
more control over local flnan-
cial operation, since the direc'
tor would be an appointive Of.
ficial rather than elective. Thii

Arlington Acts
To Bar S-StorY
0fficeBuiIdinq

The Arlington County Board
moved yesterday to try to halt
construction of an eight-story
ONCE building east Of the Court
House.
The board, by a 3-to-2 vote.
advertised for rezoning all the
land in q two-block area to a
classification which would limit
building to a 35-foot height.
DR.. Lucas Blevins, who voted
against the motion, said the
action would produce an ex-
ploSion" the like of which Ar
lington has never Seen." He
pointed out that some Of the
county's top lawyers own land
In the area.
In Zone C-3 Status
Most Of the land is zoned C-3
which allows Office buildings rs
feet high. On motion of Ralph
Kaul the board voted to hold
q public hearing February 2
on rezoning it to Clio (oflce).
The land is bounded on the
west by Court House road, on
the east by Taft street, on the
north by Fifteenth street and
on the south by Fourteenth
street.
The action was prompted by
q proposal Of the Smell Con-
struction Co. to build an eight
story ONCE building at North
Taft and Fourteenth street on
a tract now rented by the
county for a parking area.
Courthouse Land Plan
Under q Courthouse Land
Ues Plan" adopted as a tenta-
tive guide for the area in 1858,
the board said it intended that
the area east Of the courthouse
in the direction of Washing
ton-be acquired by the county
and kept as a mall and parking
area.
Board members said the
county has no money at present
to buy the expensive land. One
strip bought recently by the
county cost $40 square foot.
Board Chairman David Krup-
saw also voted against the re-
coming proposal. He said it
would lower the value Of the
land and would place the own
ers in an unfair position in ne
gotiating with the county for
purchase of the properties.
