Fairfax Town Plans
To Triple It's Area
Acting to Annex
3 Squares Miles,
Roise Population
BY PAUL HOPE

The Town Of Fairfax is PLAN
ming to annex approximately
g square miles of county ter
ritory.
Annexation plans we're dis
closed today after the town
council held a closed meeting
with the board of county
supervisors last night to ex-
plain the proposal
The town plans 10 file an
nexation proceedings in the
county Circuit Court before
January /.
The new area would triple
the towns geographical size
and almost double its popu-
lation.
Would Split OsktOn
The proposed area TO be an
nexed as outlined TO the county
board would include land to
the north. east and south Of
the town The new boundary
would split the community Of
Oakton.
The general boundaries Of
land would be- From Ramp
Washington to Germantown
road to Route 1913. along
Blake's lane TO point east Of
Fairfax Circle on Route so.
along Sherman road TO Route
236 On the'south the boundary
would extend to Braddock road.
Smile Drainage Area
The town plans to take land
on both sides of the roads
which mark the new boundaries.
The town proposes to annex
all the land in the drainage
area served by its sewage treat
ment plant. The towns present
size is about pa square miles
and its drainage area covers
nearly 6 square miles.
This will be the second an
nexation suit the county has
faced in the past year. The
town Of Vienna annexed about
two square miles Of county ter
ritory last summer.
Vienna officials have said the
annexation was the first step
toward becoming an independ-
ent city.
Population Nov $500
The present population Of
Fairfax is about $500 Glenn
Saunders. town manager. said
the annexation would increase
the population TO 1890.
The minimum population for
city Of the second class is
5000 and for a first class city
10000, However. Mr.. Saunders
said there are no present plans
for making the town a city.
The decision To annex fol-
lowed the submission of a re-
port by wainwright and Ramsey,
New York consulting firm. The
report recommended annexa-
ton in order to broaden the
towns tax base.
Mayor John c. Wood and
town councilmen told members
OF the county board that the
town wants the area to the
south for industrial develop
ment. Most Of the proposed new
land between the present south
ern boundary and the proposed
boundary at Braddock road is
undeyeloped. The area TO be
annexed on the north and east
is developing in housing pro-
jectS.
No Tax Rise Planned
Mr. Saunders said the town
already serves water and sewer
to 10 per cent of the people in
the area proposed for snnexa-
ton,
MAYOR Wood said no tax in
crease is planned after annexs-
ton. Town residents pay prop
erty taxes at the rate of IS
cents per 500 evalustion. They
also pay county taxes.
The Msyor said the town can
furnish more services at a
cheaper price to the new resi-
dents than is possible under
county government.
He said the average town tax
to the new residents would be
about s25 a year.

times in presenting a personal
plea for peace 70 ofhcials at

And she has told neither her
family nor closest friends Of
being received by the Russians.
Yesterday. Mrs. Howard J.

OF her husbands hardware

ing the monthly bills.
Mrs. ThOmas looked up from

She said the Russian made
no comment.
Live In Peace
Mrs. Thomas asked why We
both could not disarm and live
in peace. She was told that the
United States didn't want TO
disarm because it would cause
unemployment.
This" said Mrs. Thomas. Il
never thought Of. OF course, !

The Russians. she said. had
no comments about disarming
themselves.
They mentioned the fact
that Russia was encircled by
American airplane bases.
Yes" she told them. that
is true. Our planes are there.
But don't you think they are

poses that they would not be
