Arlington County has reached a
crossroads in its progress, according
TO County Manager Frank c. Han
rahan who will have served nine
years as administrative head of the
Government next Friday.
( Although it has travelled far in
the last decade. Arlington today
faces the problem of not being abla
to handle capital accounts for such
things as storm sewer drainage
system, permanent streets and high
ways and numerous other such vi
tally needed projects, Mr.. Hanrahan
said.
These cannot be absorbed as
budget items he continued, "as
they would increase the tax rate
out of proportion
This year, for the first time in a
decade, he said, tax rate increase
was necessary because no money for
necessary capital improvements was
available. Many capital improve
ments in past years have been paid
for out of current revenues-a thing
almost unheard of in communities
of this size, he added.
Plans for future financing must
continue to be made, he said, as the
need is great and tax rate increases
by themselves, will not suffice.
Reviewing the county's develop
ment. Mr.. Hanrahan said when he
took office nine years ago, the popu-
lation was approximately $4,000
compared with its present 10000.
During its peak building years
1899 to 1941, construction, values
ranged from $4,000, 900 to 81, ,0o9. 9.Ooo
and $4,000 to 17.0oo residences were
