COUNTY PUSHES
DRIVE FOR new
bic BUSINESS"
Arlington in Campaign
for More Industry

ARLINGTON, Va, Sept. 21.-In'
quiries from more than a dozen
manufacturers and wholesalers in
regard to possible location in Ar.
lington county have spurred mem
bers of the county Chamber OF
Commerce in their recently in
augurated drive to bring new bust
ness enterprises here, it was re-
vealed today.
Credit for the marked accelera-
ton Of the campaign to bring big
business to this section Of Viz
GINA was largely attributed today
to the address made last week
by County Commissioner Of Reve-
nue. Harry K. Green before the
Chamber Of Commerce.
LOW TAX CITED
He called attention to the fact
that Virginia is one of the few
States that does not impose tax
on real estate and tangible per-
sonal property and pointed out
that Arlington county, while main
tanning tax rate Of $2.70 on the
500 valuation, assesses at only
40 per cent of market value, max
ing the actual tax rate equivalent
to $1.10.
Green today made it clear he
had mo quarrel with the District
of Columbia or any other State
regarding taxation" but was
merely interested in making
known the industrial and business
advantages Of Arlington county"
MAIL PAMPHLETS
In line with this program, the
Chamber of Commerce this week
will mail out more than 1000
pamphlets to business men, real
estate firms and newcomers to
the county, containing informa.
ton and statistics regarding the
smallest county in Virginia" A
letter offering the cooperation and
services of the Chamber of Com
merce to those seeking informa-
ton about the county will also be
mailed out twice each week to new
residents.
C. F. Winchester, secretary OF
the Chamber of Commerce, re-
vealed as an indication Of the in
terest displayed in the campaign
that the membership Of that body
has increased so per cent in the
past four months.
