Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va
January 0-Cross-examination of Har-
ry K. Green, Arlington County commits
sioner of revenue, featured this morn
ing's session of the annexation suit by
which Alexandria Is seeking the Po-
tomac area from Arlington County
Questioned by Maj. Carter Hall Of Alex
andria's counsel, Mr.. Green admitted
the tax levy in the territory proposed
to be annexed would be lightened by
Alexandria having to pay the costs Of
roads and schools, and that the county
would not have to pay its 10-cent levy
He admitted there is wide break in
the population between the thickly-
settled section of the county around
Clarendon and BallSton and the area
sought to be annexed. The growth Is
greater outside of Potomac than in the
town, he said, and twice greater north
Of Alexandria and west of Potomac
than in Arlington County as a whole
In 1928, he said. the Improvements in
the area were five times greater per
square mile in Alexandria than in Ar
ington County.
COunty's High Standing.
Mr.. Green yesterday declared reports
OF the State auditor show Arlington
County to be the greatest asset county
in Virginia. Disclosing that only IL OF
the 100 counties in the State are self
supporting. he said, Arlington tops the
list OF the self-supporting. Alexandria
ranks tenth among the % cities. he said.
Annexation would be a setback to the
State as well as the county, he said,
because it would raise the taxes both
in the city and county and tend to drive
out industries He told the court that
as chairman Of the special tax commit
tee appointed by Gov. Harry F. Byrd.
he believed the policy of the State Is
and has been to reduce taxes on in
dustrieS.
He said that in the event Of anneXa-
ton the county would lose $2o,45640
annually In taxes from Potomac rail-
road yards alone
Testimony designed to show that
sentiment in the territory Alexandria
seeks is opposed to the suit was intro
duced by counsel for the county yes
terday. r. B. Bergman of Abingdon.
Allen E. Fordham of Braddock Heights,
FRANK j. Benson or Mount Ida, @. H.
Walters of Washington and Mount
Vernon avenues, Braddock Edward NJ
Birrell Of Braddock and r. B. Cobean
of Potomac all testified that sentiment
in their sections Of the county is against
annexation. Each lives within the area
sought in the current proceedings.
Availability of Money.
Mr. Fordham, builder and contrac-
tor, said that money can be raised for
building purposes in Arlington County
much easier than in the city, and that
a higher first trust can be placed on
county property than property within
the city. He told the court he had to
finance the laying Of the water mains in
his subdivisions, the Alexandria Water
Co.. refusing to extend its pipes at Its
own expense.
Mr.. Benson, home builder, admitted
