Arlington State Senator
Charles r. Fenwick yesterday
came TO the defense Of county

In a radio address over

seek TO encourage business
development rather than dis
courage It.
The County Board is con-
sidering q higher business privi-
lege tax TO help finance the
ie58-50 budget. A business tax
Of 81 per 500 Of gross receipts
was advertised, but Board
Member David L. Krupshaw
who sponsored 1t has said there
is no intention Of putting the
tax up that high. The boards
fiscal affairs advisory commit
tee is recommending an in
crease Of about Is per cent in
each of the business categories.
Senator Fenwick said bust
ness gives back to the county
in taxes SAIL for every 81 the
county spends on business In
the way Of services.
Because business makes no
demands on schools and pays
for its own trash collection, 1t
pays q surplus into the county
which keeps the taxes down
on the home owner, where the
demand for school services is
great" said Senator Fenwick

acquisition of nearly 2.l00 arces

460 acres the county now has.
It also recommended acquisi-
ton Of five large parks trimming
the county, and development
Of seven stream valleys under

Act.
Costs OF acquiring many

recreational areas could be
borne through assessment on

paid by the developer into a
municipal fund reserved for

Size Of Fee
The fee charged should be
adequate to at least acquire
the land, and 1t might be large
enough to pay for the initial

1t added that developers may
be allowed TO donate instead Of
paying the fees, but said that
this arrangement discriminates
