Arlington Losing 0ui
In Special Plan Of
State Road Financing
BY the Assoeicfed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. H.
Arlington County would stand to
gain $410,340 this year in State
road funds for it's secondary
roads if it operated under the
formula governing the regular
secondary road system rather
than under a special arrange
ment outside the system.
BY the same token, Henrico
County, the only other county
operating under the special ar
rangement, would lost $153,271
this year under the regular for
mula.
These facts were reported yes
terday in State Highway De-
partment analysis for the Gov
ernor and the General Assembly
The 1852 Assembly requested
the study.
There is chance of a debate
in the 1854 Assembly if Airing
ton should try to claim what
would be its share under the
regular secondary road system
Among other considerations
many counties now are receiving
more State secondary road funds
than they would if Arlington
were participating.
Delegate Joseph j. Williams
jr., Of Henrico said he would
fight any attempt to bring Hen
rico under the formula with any
loss of funds.
All Virginia counties except
Arlington and Henrico have
operated within the regular Sec
ondary road system since 1882
The member counties receive
their secondary road funds from
the State under a formula
adopted a that time.
Henrico and Arlington, how
ever, voted not to become a part
OF the regular primary system
and they receive their State Sec
ondary road money on a fixed
percentage basis. It is the fixed
percentages that work against
Arlington and in favor of Hen
rico.
