Civic Federation weighs billboards bans and local nuisances
At a Civic Federation meeting in Alexandria county President Frank G Campbell chaired as routine business followed a campaign against new billboards on Mount Vernon boulevard. An ordinance bans erection or maintenance of boards, with further steps to remove existing ones around the horse show grounds. The sheriff noted road concerns near Arlington Cemetery fall under the War Department marshal, prompting action and special road officers. A dance and lawn fete by Clarendon Citizens' Association and fire department drew large crowds, with future events planned by local churches. A paddle wheel ban petition was discussed, later withdrawn after long acquiescence. Clarendon lost to Rex last Sunday in a noted game with Webb sidelined by a sprained arm. Catlin Breslen Jarhoe Pfeil and Count Von Herbulis were set to play as part of an all-star lineup.
