Light Is Ordered
At Arlington Blvd.
And Grohum Road

The Virginia State Depart
ment of Highways soon will
install a traffic light at the inter-
section of Arlington boulevard
and Graham road where Fair
fax County officials have been
seeking a light for two years.
j. P. Mills, jr., traffic and
planning engineer for the high
way department, told The Star
today that a recent survey
of traffic conditions at the inter-
section shows traffic light is
needed.
A survey by The Star. with
the cooperation of Fairfax
County police, showed that 20
crashes had occurred at the in
tersection this year-eight in
volving personal injuries.
Fairfax County officials also
have been seeking a reduction
in the SIS mile per hour speed
limit along a four-mile stretch
of Arlington Boulevard between
Gallows road and Seven Corners.
The Graham road intersection is
one of % along that stretch.
The State plans a new traffic
check to see if a lower speed
limit is justified.

Flat 10-Cent Fire Tax
Sought in Montgomery

The council last night also
heard the County Personnel
Board and the Police Associa-
ton go separate ways on a bill
to revise the police retirement
system.
Sergt. Robert Dutrow said the
police association would go along
with the proposed increase from
2.5 per cent to per cent of po-
lice contributions. He said the
association opposed move to
establish a minimum retirement
age of SIS.
Sergt. Dutrow supported pro-
posed amendments being SUBJ
mitted by Councilman Robert T.
Snure that would increase wild
ows' benefits from $50 to $125
and benefits for children of de-
ceased officers from $40 to $25
monthly.
Mrs. Dinw0odey Testifies
Mrs. Edith Dinwoodey, per-
sonnet board member, urged the
council to act to make the sys-
tenn financially sound. She said
present benefits, according to a
1852 survey, would require that
the county and the police each
put up 16 per cent of the total
payroll to make it sound.
Obligations, according to the
study, amount to $50 million
while present payments into
the fund will hit only $685., 900.
she said.
A bill to bar county employees
and officials from receiving gifts
from persons doing business
with the county was not IN
tended to cast any aspersions
on any county employ" County
Manager M. L. Reese said.
1T is more OF a protection
than a penalty" Mr.. Reese
added. He said the bill was
rare in that it also provides
penalties for persons Offering
such gifts. The council did not
vote on it last night.

Montgomery County Council
man Wilbur N. Baughman last
night warned that next year
he would press for a fat 10-cent
tax rate on a countrywide basis
for fire protection.
His statement was made as
the council gave the new Lay
louisville fire tax area more ter
ritory presently belonging to the
Sandy Spring Fire Department
Mr.. Baughman added that I'M
der his proposal all volunteer
fire departments would have a
budget and come before the
county council with it just like
every other department"
"WeIl be more ready for it
next year." Mr.. Baughman said.
He added he had been surprised
at the number of fire companies
that have expressed support OF
the plan. The Silver Spring
company will go along with
it." he said.
The volunteer fire companies
now maintain their own budgets,
usually handled by a local fire
board. Some companies levy
taxes on their residents while
others are supported entirely by
voluntary contributions.
In the past fire companies
have bitterly fought attempts
to bring them under control of
the council.
4 Other Bills Pass
The council last night also
passed four other bills.
One would give the council
authority to adopt a leash and
muzzle law for dogs and cats and
require residents to keep dogs
off school grounds.
Another abolisheS the neces-
sity of the council passing bond
authorization legislation an
nually. The third would cancel
out authorities granted in past
years. Another would change
the chief of police title to super
intendent of police.

Authorities estimate that.
within five more years, a whop-
ping AIT per cent of all the
suburban population will be
younger than 20. This will COM
pare with 29.l per cent for the
same age bracket in the. Dis
trict.
All these changes-in popula-
ton, housing, racial distribu-
ton and age groupings-affect
the community profoundly. But
the sociological, economic and
political impact cannot yet be
measured.
As has been noted, people
move into and out of the city
for numerous reasons, some af-
firmative and some negative.

themselves or they seek respite

necessarily find what they ex-

But one thing everybody has

and about the same time.
Consequently, mass move
ments and rapid expansion have
created for suburbia some Of
the very conditions which were
to have been left behind. The

knots. The people complained
about public transportation.
They howled about do-nothing
Office holders.
Some of the older, established
residents howled back. AS ma
tives. they were satisfied with
what they had had. They did
not welcome the swarm of low
taxpaying invaders.
Local governments were I'M
prepared to cope with the mon
strous demands for service. Even
those most willing to act in an
obvious emergency could not
put up new schoolhouses over
night, or plan and finance multi
million dollar road programs in
a week.
Friction Was Inevitable
Friction between old-timers
and newcomers was inevitable
A determined and articulate
group, the Johnny -come-lately
crowd organized and began tc
exert political pressure. In time
they achieved some of their
goals.
In the process, the cost Of
government rocketed.
Fairfax County got by in 1916
with a budget up $1.3 million
It's budget now is $13.8 million
In the same Is years, Arlington
and Montgomery increased their
budgets from SO million to 500
million and $26 million. re-

The people soon learned they
had to foot the bill. They alb
sorbed successive tax raises anc

boot. In Prince Georges, for ex.
ample, the basic rate has riser
in 10 years from $1.82 to $2.3s
per 500 valuation.
The situation is similar in the
other Jurisdictions, Falls Church
and Alexandria.
City Has Its Troubles
The District has been having
troubles, too. The city budget
was $40 million in 1945 and Is
SITS million now. Still the Com
missioners cannot meet all the
demands for service. Among the
problems is one caused by the
! population shift: The average in
come level is declining at the
same time. more money must be
spent in public assistance anc
for other activities.
Though the Federal Govern.

The trend in home building
dramatizes what is happening to
the National Capital.
For every dwelling built last
year within the city limits Of
Washington, 241a others were
built in the suburbs just out
side.
These are the exact figures for
new single-family units in 1854:
724 in town, 1904 in nearby
Virginia and Maryland.
During the last three calendar
years. the neighboring cities and
counties gained 40,489 detached
homes while the District was
adding just 1922. Thus the sub
urban construction accounted
for 93.5 per cent in the areas
total.
These statistics help explain
why-for the first. time in his
tory-a majority of the 1.8 mil
liam metropolitan residents now
live outside the city.
Four Factors Cited
The outlying development is
due to four principal factors: an
increase in the birth rate, the
outward movement of urban
families, greater land available
ity and the attraction of new
residents from distant places.
Despite the spectacular subur-
ban growth, the Washington
population also continues to rise.
This is due primarily to two
factors: the higher birth rate
and immigration of Negroes.
Fifteen years ago. only 28.5
per cent of the District popula-
ton was white. By 1850,
however, the figure had risen to
35.4. The experts now estimate
the city's non-white percentage
will jump to All by 1860.
The suburbs offer striking
contrast.
Non-whites represented 1873
per cent of their total 1910 popu-
lation. In 1850 the figure was
only 81 per cent. 1t is expected
to drop to TT per cent in 1860.
Besides shooting into the lead
numerically, the suburbs have
acquired a population younger
than the Districts. Here are the
latest official percentages for
four different age brackets:
