ANNEXATION FUND
Provides for Survey Ct ArIing-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

ALEXANDRIA,, Va, September "a.
The city council yesterday provided
for the appropriation of 81 900 with
which to make a survey of contiguous
land in Arlington County with view
of annexation. The Potomac railroad
yards, lying on the east of the cor
poration limits of Potomac, are within
the territory the council seeks to
obtain.
The council, city manager, city
engineer and the city attorney at
tended the informal meeting and pre-
scribed the limits. The area begins
approximately at the south bank of
Four Mile Run and the Potomac
River, running southwest to Cameron
Mills road in Arlington County.
thence northwest to Braddock road,
south to the intersection of Seminary
lane and Braddock road and Cameron
Run, and then east to the intersection
OF Cameron Run and the present cor
poration limits in Hunting Creek.
Arlington County will stand the
heaviest losses If Alexandria is sue
cessful in its proposed annexation
program, but Fairfax County also will
lose some ground. Potomac was in.
corporated several years ago. The
assessed valuation of railroad wards
Is $1,000.000. The new line would
extend into Fairfax County almost to
