Ruling Against Bond
Issue Forces Use
Of Current Revenue

Arlington County's share of the
cost of the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway extension will have
to be financed by current revenues
in the opinion of Basil NJ. DeLash-
mutt. chairman of the Arlington
County Board.
Mr.. DeLashmutt told questioners
yesterday that use of current rev.
enues for the parkway extension
seemed "the only alternative" now
that bend issue for the project has
been ruled out.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the Arl-
ington Civic Federation last week
requested that an item for the park
way be included in proposed general
Improvement bonds for the county.
Against State Law.
Commonwealth's Attorney Law
renee w. Douglas, however. told the
county board Saturday that Virginia
law would not permit a bond issue
for improvements that eventually
would be turned over to the Federal
Government.
The proposed extension of the
parkway to be financed jointly by
Arlington County. the State of Vir-
ginia and the Federal Government,
lis to run from Spout Run up the
Potomac River to the Arlington.
Fairfax line above Chain Bridge.
Mr.. De Lashmutt said even
though financing of this extension
with bond issue now seemed i'm
possible, there Is no question that
we will go through with our part in
financing the extension" He pointed
out that Arlington County had used
current revenue in the past for
financing other sections of the
parkway.
Doubts "Too Heavy" Burden.
''I fact, the burden on the budget
probably wont-be as heavy as for
merly when about S25,0Oo had to
come out of the budget one year for
parkway work." Mr.. De Lashmutt
added.
The county board chairman said
he understood total cost of the ex-
tension would be about 100000.
Half of this, or 100000, is the
Federal Governments share Of the
expense. Arlington County and the
State of Virginia would pay $780, 900
each to cover the remaining half"
Mr.. De Lashmutt explained.
Annual cost to Arlington County
If the financing is handled from
current revenues would be around
s12.500, Mr.. De Lashmutt said. Ac-
cording to these figures, the total
cost to the county could be paid of
in eight years.
