IN COUNTY
Interest in Memberships on
New Board Responsible;
Treasurer Is Unopposed

With 1O2 names certified with
the clerk of Arlington county as
the deadline for filing of can
didacies for local offices was
passed late yesterday afternoon,
the ballot facing voters of Arling-
ton November 8 will be the long
est ever printed in Virginia
county.
Interest in membership on the
county board of commissioners,
stirred by the recent change in
the form of government from su-
pervisOrs to a board Of commits
SiOners and a county manager
was the cause of the unprece-
dented list of candidates.
Free-fOr-All
Early filings for the board of
commissioners indicated the race
would develop into a free-for-all
campaign, with almost as many
candidates as voters. When the
clerks office closed yesterday, SIS
persons had signfied their inten-
tions of running for this office.
On Monday, however, some
thing of a monkey-wrench was
thrown into the workings of the
new form of government when
Crandall Mackey, former Com
monwealth's attorney for Arling-
ton, declared the board of COM
missioners was set up under an
unconstitutional act.
Mr.. Mackey urged candidates
for the board to file their no
tices for the board of supervisors,
the old form of government, in
stead of the new board, express
ing belief the new board would be
thrown out of office by court &C.
ton.
For Old Board
In response to Mackey'S action,
II persons have filed for the old
board of supervisors, thus placing
the county in the position of hav-
ing two groups of candidates rum
ming simultaneously for two sep
arate boards, both, according to
contentious, to have the same
functiOnS-the most important
the spending of county funds.
While most of the interest has
been centered upon the candl-
dates for commissionerships, the
county has not suffered from
dearth of material in the other
races.
