ALEXANDRIA, Va, November -. 1910
| A strong fight against becoming part |
of the city of Alexandria will be made |
by the residents of that portion of Alex |
andria county which it is proposed to an |
mex. when the matter comes before the |
courts for a hearing. Residents of the |
southern portion of Alexandria county, |
the part suggested as an acquisition to
the city, express themselves as being un
alterably opposed to annexation. being
perfectly we'll satisfied with the present |
growth and development of that end of |
the county. One thing which. it is said, |
will cause much opposition is the city |
tax rate. The city, however, promises
not to increase the taxes of the territory |
for a period of five years, and during |
that time all revenue derived from the
portion annexed, according to the pro-
gram. will be spent in that portion of the
county.
| At the last meeting of the city council
| the ordinance presented for annexation
directs the corporation attorney to take
necessary legal steps for the acquisition
of the territory. 1t was referred to the
joint committee on finance and general
laws. That committee will, it is expect
ed, make it's report at the next meeting
| of the city council.
