Annexation Tomorrow Signals
New Growth for Alexandra

this that prompted the Virgins
legislature many years ago tc
adopt annexation laws. Courts
have held that the principal con-
sideration in annexat ton Is to en-
courage the continued growth ot
the States cities.
Each Effort Succeeded.
Each time Alexandria has In
voked such annexation privileges
the results have been successful.
The city's last previous annexa-
tion venture was in 1929, when
approximately 3 square miles
including a large part Of Potomac
Yards with its lucrative tax reve-
nue-was won from Arlington
County.
That acquisition also gave "a
Alexandria a large part Of what
became the Braddock Heights
Beverly Hills residential area, and
Parkfairfax.
Since then. Arlington's boun-
daries have been somewhat pro-
tected from annexation by leg
islation, focusing Alexandria q
attentions on Fairfax County.
Residents of the annexation
area should see visible signs OF
their new urban status right
away. Weekly trash and garbage
collections will begin immedi-
ately, street repair crews viii
start taking care Of the worst
holes, and Aiexandria police cars
will cruise the territory.
Eventually. the city plans q
new incinerator. sewer extensions,
new fire station and police sta
ton, and new schools in the ter
ritory.
Among the developments that
come into Alexandria in addition
to the undeveloped land along
Shirley highway are: About five
buildings Of darlington: the Shir-
ley-Duke Apartments; the Army
Quartermaster Depot; the Fruit
Growers Express Co., and the Vir-
ginia Theological Seminary. The
only county school to come into
the city Is Lee-Jackson.
The approximate boundaries
are: Beginning at the headwaters
of Hunting Creek westward along
Cameron Run to the Southern
Railroad tracks: continuing west
is miles along the tracks, then
north 1925 miles across country
to Shirley highway; north and
northwest to the southern boun-
dairy Of the Washington Virginia
Airport, then along the Arlington
County line to the present city

year-old city of Alexandria.
Midnight tomorrow will mark
the seventh time the city has ex-
panded its boundaries through
annexation. The new award Of 1865
square miles from Fairfax County
more than doubles the city's pres
ent area.
But growth in the area was not
all the city heads looked forward
to when they began the success

ago.
They believe Alexandria is well
on its way to becoming Virginia e
third largest city, preceded only
by Richmond and Norfolk.
The 1850 census placed Alexan-
dria in fifth place with a popula-
ton of 81 SOL. In fourth place was
Portsmouth with q population OF
70,376. and in third place was
Roanoke with 81 ,070 residents.
No one is quite sure of the an
nexation area population. 1t is es-
timated at between 5000 and a.
000-apparently enough to push
Alexandria above Portsmouth i'm
mediately.
There is so much undeveloped
land in the annexation area, how
ever. that predictions forsee 40,-
600 or $4,000 residents in that ter
ritory within another decade

lation above the 100000 mark and
into third place in the State.
The undeveloped nature Of the
land Alexandria is acquiring to

it as one Of the most "clean CUT

Committee. predicts the move will
be a financial boon to both the
city and residents Of the newly
acquired territory.
Already there are signs Of big
developments. residential and
commercial. as soon as Alexan-
dria takes over.
Mark Winkler, largest property
owner in the area with about $50
acres along Shirley highway, has
announced plans to build a $500
unit apartment project to be
known as Fairfax Forest. Paul
T. Stone, who owns so acres, has
disclosed similar plans and Mrs.
Walter Dubois Brookings seeks to
have about 20 acres rezoned along
Leesburg pike near Shirley high

city limits from Route to a short
distance beyond Lincolnia.
Large-scale development of the
type anticipated had slowed down

Must Pay Tax Fines
Despite Late MaiIings
Some Bills Sent Out
After DeodIine but
Penalty Still Stands

Arlington residents who received
tax bills after the December s
deadline for payment cannot be
excused from paying the 5 per
cent penalty required by law.
Commonwealth Attorney Den
man T. Rucker yesterday told the
County Board there is no pro-
vision for local authorities to
waive the penalty even If the bills
were mailed after the deadline.
State law requires the county
treasurer to mail tax bills by De-
cember 1. Most Of the bills were
in the mail but several hundred
went out after the deadline.
Factors Causing Delay.
It was reported that breakdown
Of tabulating machinery and re-
vision Of tax bills due to a 20
per cent reduction In State in
come taxes contributed to the de-
lay. Another factor. according to
Mr.. Rucker, was the time re-
quired to correct errors made in
tax returns when they were filed
last May. ...
