Arlington Vote Set
On S7.9 Million Bonds

Arlington voters on Tuesday
will be asked to approve bond
issues totaling $7,s66,0O0 for a
variety of county projects
including the proposed new
Yorktown High School.
Money for the l,400 student
school accounts for $3.5 million
of the total amount sought in
the referendum.
Seven other bond proposals
that will appear on the ballet
are:
/. $1,79O.OOO for new street
construction and improvement.
2. $770, 900 for sanitary sewer
improvements and extensions,
to be financed by sewer service
charges.
3. $560,OO0 to build a new
central library.
4. $330,000 for sidewalk, curb
and gutter construction.
5. $673.000 for storm sewers.
6. $293.00 for expansion of
recreation facilities, including
an addition to the recreation
center and additional land for
parks and Fairgrounds.
Z. $50,000 for two new fire
station sites. one between Lee
highway and Chain bridge and
the other between Arlington
boulevard and Pershing drive.
There has been an absence
of controversy over the ap-
preaching bond issues, except
for criticism by a segregation
group that the Yorktown High
School is planned too close to
a Negro neighborhood and
therefore will invite integra-
ton.
Issues Supported
In contrast to some past bond
contests in Arlington where the
business and residential COM
munities have been at odds
over the need for additional
borrowing, the issues to be
voted on Tuesday have been
given enthusiastic support from
several quarters.
All eight proposals have been
Endorsed by the County Cham
mer of Commerce, the County
P-TA Council and the League
of Women Voters.
Balloting will be separate on
each proposed bond issue, with
a separate lever set UP on Ar
lington's voting machines "for"
and against" every item. 1t is
possible, therefore, that some
of the bond proposals may be
approved and others rejected.
County officials estimate the
cost to the average owner Of
a $4,000 home will be $l2 a
year for 20 years to repay the
entire amount. Brochures de-
failing each issue have been
mailed to all taxpayers.
Approval of the $685. million
for the Yorktown High School
will permit the school board
to complete a 10-year ex-
pansion program launched in
l948. rounding out the county's
major foreseeable school needs.
Construction of Yorktown
will give the county three white
senior high schools. The other
two are Wakefield and Wash
ington-Lee.
According to school officials,
the existing two high schools
are designed to accommodate
a total senior high enrolment
OF 1000, which is slightly under
the number of senior high stu
dents now enrolled in the
county.

Home Arts Club Meets Candidates

Home Arts Club members met with candidates for the first State Legislature from District 23 last evening, and informally dis cussed problems on education, mental health, roads, economic development and taxation to cover the budget of the new State.
 A sample ballot was presented and explained to the group, show ing how it differs from former ballots and particularly the vote tor Governor, where one vote for Governor automatically votes for the Secretary of State. The voter cannot choose a candidate for Governor from one party and a Secretary of State from another party for a valid ballot.
 Candidates were asked ques- tions by the members of the club and they in turn asked opinions of the club members.
 New officers were installed with Dorothy Grant as president; Mar tha Kraft as vice-president; FL eanor Osborne, secretary, and Ann Snyder, treasurer.
