Fenwick,GreenDebat
Incorporation Plan
For Arlington City

Charles r. Fenwick, former Ar
lington member of the House of
Delegates, said last night that Ar
lington County should be incorpor-
ated into city of the first class, so
governmental powers which now
have to be acquired by special legis-
lation, could be obtained.
Mr.. Fenwick debated the merits
of the proposed incorporation plan
with John Locke Green, country
treasurer, before the Parkway Citi-
zens' Association. H..
Stating that members of the Gen.
eral Assembly feel Arlington should
be a city, Mr.. Fenwick said special
acts for its benefit include measures
for speed law control, fire COM
panies, the right to make an annual
tax levy, central registrar, bond
issue for Fairgrounds, establishment
Of a separate county police depart
ment, retirement system for en-
ployes other than teachers, and the
right to install and maintain water
and sewer systems, in addition to
many others.
Constitutionality Doubted.
He said there is serious ques-
ton" in his mind concerning the
constitutionality of the special legis-
lation the county has been getting
for many years.
Mr.. Green, opposing incorporation
in his second debate this week, said
his philosophy of government is the
exact opposite of Mr.. Fenwicks. He
said he believes in government from
the bottom up, while his opponent
favors government from the top
down. So
Comparing the governmental form
contained in the proposed charter,
on which the Charter Commission
has scheduled its third public hear
ing tonight at o'clock in the Court
house, with the State and Richmond
'top-heavy" systems, Mr.. Green said
he wants the best government for
the least money"
Sees Added Revenue.
This years reassessment, he con-
tinued, if properly done, will produce
an additional revenue of $500, 900.
Il expect next years levy, with the
reassessment. will be $4,000 ,ooO," he
stated.
Annexation is not needed to bene-
fit the county, he said, with 1000
undeveloped acres available to &C
commodate 10000 more population.
When the county is that thickly
settled, he said, it then will be time
to talk incorporation.

Public Works Board
To Study Maryland
Welfare Fund Crisis
b. the Associated Press.
RAITTMORE lar


BALTIMORE, Jan. 81. - Gov
O'Conor announced yesterday that
he would call a meeting Of the
Board of Public Works shortly tc
consider the financial crisis facing
the Department of Public Welfare
Any transfer of funds to meet the
Welfare Departments increasing
postwar obligations would have tc
be made by the Board of Public
Works, he explained.
Several methods of meeting the
emergency have been proposed
They include transfers from the
Governors contingency fund: call
ing a special session of the Legis-
lature to appropriate more money
and turning over to the department,
money impounded by the Governor
recently from other appropriations
No ruling has yet been made by
the attorney general on whether OF
not the last method would be legal
Faces Half Million Deficit.
The Cumberland News said yes
terday that it had learned that the
Public Welfare Department faced
a possible deficit of half a million
dollars due to increasing relief APP
plications since the wars end.
j. Milton Patterson, director Of
the Public Welfare Department
said that women are being laid of
or are returning to housekeeping oil
their own volition in large numbers
Of marginal" families. This trend
He said, is largely responsible fol
the departments sharply increasing
caseload.
d In an average month of 1914
when the budget for the present BIZ
ennium was prepared, he said, 8,15l
children were being aided under the
State program. BY last December
this figure had increased to 9,l4o.
Public Aid Cases Increase.
Similarly. 4,372 cases were han.
died under the General Public AS.
sistance Fund in the sample 1914
month, while in December there
were $3.50.
This situation has resulted in eX.
penditure of about $150,000 mort
last December than in August, 1943
particularly low month, Mr.. Pat.
terson said.
A total of $720, 1852 was spent b.
the department on all types of pub
lie assistance in December, he said
If this rate of expenditure wer'
maintained for the remainding 81.
months of the present fiscal year
the department would be abou
100000 in the red, he estimated.
Contingency Fund Proposed.
The departments budget for tn
next fiscal year Is about $3.50, 00C
If the December rate continued TO
the next year, the department woul'
be asked to spend $8,643 IA, or NOR
than a million dollars over it
budget.
A contingency fund of $495 ,814
which would have provided $1,178,
900 when matched by Federal an,
local money, was proposed by MI
Patterson, but was not included il
the budget approved by the last Leg
islature..
Mr.. Patterson pointed out that tn
department has turned back to tn
State more than $4,000, 900 of unuse'
funds between 1912 and 1945, bu
that money is, of course, no longe
available.
