Revenue Explained.

The school estimate was transmitted
to Braden last month by Supt. Fletcher
Kemp. The approximately $4,000
increase will hire five new teachers
and care for other expenses incident
to the increasing enrolment.
Explaining revenue sources to raise
the 81 ,042 $50, Braden said:
THE miscellaneous revenue for gen.
eral purposes shows an amount of
S37,820; from the Commonwealth for
capitation taxes, $4,000. and gas tax,
$4,000. Delinquent taxation sets
forth an additional amount of S65, ZOO,
while our assessed valuation of s26,-
195,850, in order to furnish taxation
in the amount of S3l6,380 to balance
the budget, would require a tax rate
of s1.50 per s100. estimating that 80
per cent is collected"
In addition, a tax rate of ST. per
$l00 assessed valuation is recon-
mended for school purposes, making
the total rate $2.70.

BUDGET ESTIMATE
CARRIES TAX RISE.
Arlington Outlay Would Be
S1,042,880, Boost of
$141,094.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stafi Correspondent of The Star.
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
March l6.-Budget estimates for the
fiscal year, beginning July l, carry
ing a total estimated expenditure of
$l,042,880, were transmitted to the
Arlington County Board today by
County Manager Roy S. Braden.
The figure is $141,094 above the
present budget, which carries expenG-
lures Of $901, ,786.
If adopted as submitted, the budget
calls for an increase in the county tax
rate OF 80 cents per $l00 assessed val
uation, from s2.40 to $2.7O.
General Fund Up.
The budget is divided into general
fund expenditures, estimated at $504,-
200, as against $4l9,20O this year;
water fund, estimated $165,000, against
$129,365; school fund, estimated at
$373,l30, against $352,721, and dog
tax fund, $3.50, against $500.
In transmitting the budget to the
board. Braden called attention to
small increases ." due to the fact of
increasing service and greater de-
mands being placed on the various de-
partmentS. These included an in
crease in the treasurer's department
of about $4,000, in the sheriffs office
of about $500, in the fire department
of about $4.400, and in the depart
ment of public welfare of 5000. De-
creased estimates are shown for some
other departments.
Explaining the increases, Braden
declared there will be extra work in
the treasurer's Office in collecting
sewer assessments and general tax
collections; that he has recommended
one more officer for the Sheriffs de-
partment, whereas Sheriff H. 3. Fields
asked for three more men.
Roads Increased.
The road budget has been increased
to $l35,000. compared to 100000 this
year. This increase was necessitated
in part, Braden said, by the fact that
sewers are being installed on many
dirt streets where no funds are avail
able to put them back in shape.
The new sewer department is pro-
vided for by an estimated appropria-
ton of S18,260. in addition to which
fund of $4,000 is asked for debt
service on sewers.
"A great deal depends on the 'front.'
footage assessment that will be set
up" Braden explained in this con-
nection, because if lateral lines can
not take care of their own expenses
and pay their own way it will be
necessary for additional taxation to
cover and balance on this part of
the sewer work"
Explaining the water department
increase, Braden wrote the board:
Our collections are greater than
were set forth in the budget for the
past year, but there are many extern
sions that must be made in order to
complete the system. We have in
creased the water service budget from
approximately $4,000 to 100000, and
for the next five years it will be neces-
sary to set forth 100000 a year for
debt retirement"

Miami Biltmore open tournament to-

Only Olin Dutra Of California, 1884
