Citizens Support
15-Cent Tax Rise
For Arlington
Adoption of Increase
In New Budget Now
Appears Assured

Adoption of a 15-cent increase in
the Arlington County tax rate with
the 1946-47 tentative budget Of
S4,627, $50 appeared practically as
sured today following approval by
civic group representatives at
public hearing last night.
The board has until April 80 to
adopt the new fiscal plan which be-
comes effective July l..
The proposed increase would place
into effect at least one OF the two
county employe pension and retire.
ment systems enacted by the recent
General Assembly. Ten cents of the
increase would be earmarked for this
purpose as we'll as to provide money
for highway, street, curb, gutter and
sidewalk construction.
The remaining five cents would be
designated for school purposes.
Two Pension Plans.
One of the two pension plans in
cludes police and fremen only,
while the other would benefit other
full-time general employees.
Included among organizations sup
porting the added levy, which would
make the total tax SO per s10O VAL
uation, with SIPS for schools and
SITS for general purposes, were the
Arlington Civic Federation, Cham
Der of Commerce, County Council
Iof Parent Teacher Associations,
Arlington Alexandria League of
Women Voters, Lyon Park Citizens
| Association, Arlington Ridge Civic
Association and numerous individ-
ual parent-teacher associations.
Opening the hearing, Chairman
Edmund D. Campbell said he doesn't
feel the levy should be tampered
with too much until inequities in
county real estate assessments have
been adjusted by the current reas-
sessment.
Urges Fund for Schools.
Lemuel Banks, civic federation
School Committee chairman. told
the board, however. that the fedora
ton thinks cents is good, but Is
cents would be a lot better" for
school purposes.
Mr.. Campbell, replying to a rep
resentative of the Arlington Ridge
Civic Association on construction OF
county incinerator, said the County
Board is authorized under sanitary
district powers to initiate a bond
issue for the project A. T. Lund-
berg, acting county manager, said
the project would cost between
s525 900 and s575,00O
Such a bond issue, it was said,
would be voted on at next Novem-
bers election and it would take ap-
proximately year to construct the
lncinerator.
Termed Emergency Matter.
Pointing to the necessity for this
construction. the Arlington Ridge
group asked that it be made IAN
emergency matter"
Sentiment for the establishment
OF school kindergartens and full
time classes in the first and second
grades was almost evenly divided.
A. D. Adams, former president Of
the federation, said he questioned
the wisdom of the kindergarten pro-
gram"
He said he believes its cost. esti-
mated to exceed $1,000 900, could be
USED better for other purposes.

able of chase in that town.

car in Bellepoint and headed
south on Route AZ. Alerted by ra-
dio, Night Officer Morse Anderson
