Plan Opposed
In Arlington
Boord Votes Down
Federal Ideos on
Headquarters Site

The Arlington County Board
Is opposed to having the Central
Intelligence Agency locate its
proposed $3s million headquar-
tiers there.
The board, unlike other near
by Maryland and Virginia juris-
dictions, voiced its opposition
yesterday to having CIA-or any
other Government agency--move
into the county.
Its reasoning was that Airing
ton is already losing large
amounts Of tax revenue because
II per cent Of the county's area
already is occupied by the Fed
eral Government.
Board Chairman George M.
Rowzee declared: I'VE would
rather see subtraction from that
Federal occupancy"
Basis Of Opposition
The boards vote was on q
motion by Alvin F. Kimel. who
declared:
81 think we have our fair
share now of Government ia
eilities. I would oppose any other
Government agency coming into
Arlington.
eve are losing a lot of good
taxable revenue"
The boards opposition to GA
specifically rejected the possis
bility of the agency locating its
headquarters in Arlington Hail.
already owned by the Governs
ment.
The board would like to take
over the site If the Government
should move out.
Planning Director Frank 4.
Dieter had informed board meme
bers that he had been asked BY
the National Capital Planning
Commissions site selection CONF
mittee if Arlington Hall would
be acceptable to the county.
Contrasting Action
In contrast to its CHA action.
the board issued an invitation To
the Institute of Traffic Engi.
neers to locate its national head
quarters in Arlington.
The board was informed that
the institute is considering mov-
ing its headquarters from New
Haven, Conn.,, to the Washing-
ton area.
In other action, the board
awarded a contract for construc.
ton of a sewer on Kirkwood
road, from Lee Highway to North
Thirteenth street. to the Inter-
county Construction Co., of Hy-
attsville, for it's low bid of $47.-

BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

Washington's proposed Poto-
mac River bypass bridges at
Jones Point, Va, and Cabin
John, Md. would not produce
enough revenues to pay their
way as toll bridges, a consultant
study asserted yesterday.
Either 10 or 15-cent tolls,
however. would produce enough
money to finance an extensive
new bridge-building program
here If the tolls were collected
on all or nearly all existing and
proposed downtown bridges.
These findings highlighted a
98-page, $4,000 study by the
consulting firm of Wilbur Smith
81 Associates. paid for jointly by
the District. Maryland, Virginia
and the Federal Bureau of Pub
lie Roads.
May Kill Toll Speculation
AS expected, the reports effect
probably will be- to kill future
speculation about toll possibili-
ties here, since the outer Jones
Point and Cabin John spans are
the only ones seriously given a
chance to be authorized by Con-
gress for tolls.
District officials, ID fact. are
against tolls generally. And some
members of Congress already
have served notice they would
hit the roof If anyone suggests
taxing people for entering the
Nations Capital.
But Federal, State and local
officials felt they needed dollar
and-cent facts on tolls, as part
of new joint effort to explore
every financing possibility in
order to try to tie down the re-
sponsibility for Washington area
bridge costs. Until now officials
never really have been able to
determine whether any particu-
lar bridge could pay for itself.
Avoided Recommendations
So the Wilbur Smith firm was
ordered to steer clear Of politi-
cally explosive policy recommen-
dations, and deal only with the
feasibility Of setting UP various
toll combinations to finance new
bridges and improve old ones.
The consultants dealt gener-
ally with eight bridges: The
dual-span Fourteenth street net
work and Chain, Key and Me-
mortal bridges, the proposed
Cabin John and Jones Point
spans and two new proposed
downtown bridges, probably at
Constitution avenue and Reaches
Run.
The consultants estimated
future traffic on each bridge as
of 1860 and 1870 and assumed
each bridge would be built or
improved. They considered two
TOLERATE schedules: One proposed
10 cents for each passenger car
crossing. Is cents for medium
trucks and Is cents heavy trucks
and buses. The other proposed
is cents for cars, 20 cents for
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-05-01

Seen Doomed by Survey

medium trucks and IS cents for
heavy trucks and buses.
The report concluded:
/. If the outer" Jones Point
and Cabin John bridges were
constructed with revenue bonds
as toll spans and all the other
bridges remained free:
Neither the 10 nor Is cent tolls
would come close to amortizing
a $36 million bond issue required
for the two.
A ascent toll on passenger
cars would amortize a SITS mil
lion Jones Point bridge alone,
but extensive approach roads
would have to be provided" sepa-
rately. Congress already has
authorized this bridge as Fed
eral expense.)
No toll rate was found ade-
quate to finance the Cabin John
bridge alone. since it would pro-
duce less than a third as much
toll revenue as Jones Point.
2. II tolls were put on all eight
bridges to finance construction
Of the new ones and improve
ments to the old:
The SIS million cost could be
financed by q 15-cent toll sched-
ule. A l0-cent toll rate also
would do the job II interest on
the revenue bonds was kept be-
low 3l2 per cent, but this might
not be sufficient ito attract In
veStors."
8. If tolls were imposed on the
six downtown bridges and the
two bypass spans were free
bridges built without revenue
bonds:
A l0-cent passenger car toll
schedule would be adequate to
finance the six-bridge network.
4. If Arlington M e m orial
bridge and the two outer bridges
were left free but tolls were inn
posed on the other five down.
town spans:
A 15-cent toll rate would pro-
vide Sufficient revenues" to
build the $l09.5 million Ave-
bridge system. A 10-cent toll rate
also would be sufficient If bond
interest were held below 31a per
cent and If the bonds were
amortized over a 40-year period.
Toll Plan as Problem
The consultants said the
fourth of the four toll schemes
was set up to exclude Memorial
bridge because that bridge pre-
sents the most serious problem.
With an obvious eye to the
eSthetic layout of the Lincoln
Memorial area, the consultants
said 1t would be very difficult
to develop toll collection pla-
zas which will not appear
intrusive"
j. N. Robertson. District high
way director. said copies of the
toll report were sent yesterday
to the Jurisdictions which paid
for it. He said he expects a
meeting to be called soon to
determine what use. If any, to
be made of the report. and flu
ture steps in the bridge cost
study.

Because Maryland has adopted the -and-white

No one last night could specify the reason Maryland
authorities decided abandon the red and white of the
current tagsexcept that most just plain preergreen and

Furthermore the Free Skaters chose to set the in

decided ahead alternating the colors between

found themselves driving around with tags identical

But, according to District Traffic Director George E.
