County Attacks
Annexation Suit
ByFa||sChurch
Says City Is Seeking
To Rescue Itself
From Fiscal Plight

The annexation suit of Falls
Church against Fairfax County is
an attempt to rescue the city from
a financial plight, according tc
the county.
In an answer filed yesterday in
Fairfax Circuit Court, the Board
of Supervisors declare the Ian
guage of the suit indicates it is
an attempt to rescue a city which
is financially in no position to
take care of its own bare ne
cessities."
The city seeks to acquire lots
square miles from the county
about 4 square miles less than
asked earlier in suit which was
withdrawn. The county claims
however, that the city ordinance
authorizing the first suit still is
effective, thus rendering invalid
the current action.
Financial Problems Stressed.
The county's answer charges
the city hopes, by adding land,
to increase revenues, it can con-
tinue to function as a city "for
the time being, at any rate"
Stressing the city's financial
problems, the county declares
Falls Church has almost reached
the legal limit on it's bonded in
debtedness. The city wants to
enlarge so it will have greater
borrowing powers, the county
contends.
The county challenges Falls
Church contention that the city
is better able to provide schools
in the area it seeks. Since 1912,
the answer states, the city has
been unable to operate a school
system to meet its own needs.
Many city children now attend
county-owned schools.
Need of Schools Conceded.
The county comedies the area
in question needs more schools,
but blames lack of them on Falls
Church. Two proposed county
referendums on school bonds have
been thwarted by the city's
annexation proceedings.
Most people living In the area
around Falls Church moved there
beca:'se it is near Washington
not because they wanted to live
in Falls Church. the county con-
tends. 2.z~ 49,
Disagreeing that the city needs
land for development. the county's
answer charges city water service
is inadequate for the larger terri
tory. s.ssg
Jurisdiction Challenged.
The county argues the annexa-
ton court "has no jurisdiction to
adjust financial matters" in the
proceedings until the county-city
school debt suit is settled. The
two have been unable to agree on
how much OF the county debt the
city should assume as a result Of
having attained second class
status.
Most of the territory Falls
Church seeks is in Sanitary Dis
trict No. of Fairfax County
where residents approved sale Of
a So million sewer bond issue. The
county claims the bonds must be
sold before any land can be re-
moved from the sanitary district.
Falls Church annexation proceed
ings have held up the bond sale
for the last month.
The county's answer was filed
by Commonwealth's Attorney
Hugh B. Marsh and Attorney Rob-
ert j. McCandlish, retained by the
county to work with Mr.. Marsh
in fighting annexation.
