Federation Asks
Moderate Taxes
For Arlington
Reiterotes Stand on
Auto License and
Business Levies

The Arlington Civic Federation
last night reiterated its stand call
ing for moderate" business and
automobile license taxes and an in
crease in the property tax rate to
$3.50 to provide funds for the next
years school and general fund bud
gets.
Pointing to a suggestion by Coun-
ty Board Chairman Daniel A. Du-
gan that the proposed automobile
license tax be set at $40, the fed
Grafton recalled it had gone on
record as favoring moderate" auto
mobile license taxes, the proceeds
to, be used for street maintenance
and improvements.
Desirability Questioned.
However, the federation ques-
tions very seriously whether
heavy automobile license tax to pro-
vide funds for general county and,
indirectly. for school purposes is de-
sirable," it was said in letter to be
sent to the county board.
"In the opinion OF the fedora
ton, an, increase in the property
tax rate would be preferable. In
any event, the federation urges the
county board not to impose heavy
automobile license fees for this pur-
pose until the matter has had the
most thorough consideration"
The board must adopt the school
and general fund budgets and set
the tax rate by April 80. The pres
ent tax rate is 1925 per 500 of
assessed valuation.
Oscar r. LIE Beau, former chair
man Of the Citizens Committee for
School Improvement, was presented
with The Evening Star Trophy
for outstanding civic achievement
during 1947. The award was an
nounced at the federation's Feb
ruary meeting.
Fire Department Study.
The Public Safety Committee was
instructed to make an investigation
of the county fire department and
report by the June meeting.
One new citizen group, the Glen
Carlyn Citizens Association, was
admitted to membership in the fed
Grafton. Admission of second Or
ganization, the Bellevue Citizens
Association, was deferred, pending a
further study of its boundaries in
relationship to those of the Cherry
dale association.
