FAIRFAX URBAN PLAN
County Faces Harm
In Annexation Move

county and its expensive prob
lens.
By seemingly offering greater
control Of local affairs. less
interference from the State
and relief from taxes for
county expenditures, incorpo-
ration as a municipality begins
to appear as an oasis in a
desert Of difficulty.
If such urban areas are To-
Gated near established cities,
they may submit to annexation
as an escape from county
burdens.
Advocates Of the Urban
County Plan warn that should
Fairfax break up into munich
palities, the ultimate conse-
quences would be chaos on q
grand scale.
Warnings Sounded
They predict these destruc-
tive effects:
The tax resources of the
county would dwindle and
with them its capacity to deal
with countrywide problems.
Expensive duplication of
services by county and towns
would arise.
Effective long-range planning
and coming would be harshly
impeded, If it remained possible
at all. The county could not
control what occurred on num-
erous Islands" within its con-
fines. Towns could not in
f1uence what happened around
them. The county could not be
certain for which territory it
should plan.
Pocked and. disjointed by loss
OF territory. the county would
have difficulty in extending
services within the haphazardly
determined borders left to it.
Conflicts Forecast
Conflicts would develop
among the municipalities and
between them and the county.
One consultant predicts:
Each island town would IN
troduce a line of conflict equal
to the length Of its boundary
The end product of such a de-
velopment would be a series
OF cities and towns permanent
ly condemned to limited size,
limited resources, unchange-
able boundaries and uncontrol-
liable neighbors."
This is precisely the plight
from which urban areas
throughout the Nation nov are
trying to extricate themselves.

urban plan.

Following action on the bud
get the Senate then will turn
to the problem Of raising the
$50 million in new revenue de-
mands.
Compromise Seen
If the administration bloc
stands firm against the budget
cuts, they believe they can
make tobacco area Senator'S
choose between a sales tax and
a levy on cigarettes and cigars.
The tobacco tax would pro-
duce between $50 million and
$50 million during the next two
years. A l per cent sales tax
would yield about SGT million,
and this, along with 500 million
from a proposed 10 per cent
increase in liquor taxes would
be adequate to balance the
budget.
Strategy calls for lacking
either a one per cent or a two
per cent sales tax to one of the
other revenue measures already
sent over from the House.
In the final weeks legisla-
tive crush some of the sessions
most controversial issues still
remain to be solved.
The House spent two and a
half hours debating a billboard
bill Friday before sending 1t
on to the Senate. A much
weaker version of the same bill
has passed the Senate and
differences will have to be
ironed out in conference.

Boothe Hits
Thomson on
Judgeship
By = Star stan Writer


RICHMOND, Mar. 5-Alex-
andria State Senator Armistead
Boothe today accused his col
league, delegate James M.
Thomson, of having attempted
to pass a special interest"
bill in the General Assembly.
His statement was in reply
to a statement Friday by Mr..
Thomson blaming two Sena-
tors for the defeat Of a bill to
create a fourth judge for the
Alexandria : Fairfax Prince
William circuit. Senator Boothe
and Mr.. Thomson are Alexan-
dria's two representatives in
The General Assembly.
Mr.. Thomson named Sena-
tors Boothe and John A. K.
Donovan of Fairfax as the two
responsible for killing the
judgeship bill.
II feel it is a real privilege
to be classed with Senator
Donovan in the latest attack
from Delegate Thomson, "
Senator Boothe said.
"As for myself, not one single
member of the bench or bar in
Northern Virginia, including
Alexandria, asked me to sup
port 1t.
1.-THE action of the Alexandria
Bar Association approving the
judgeship) was taken at the
specific entreaty of Delegate
Thomson long after he had
introduced the bill and even
after it had passed the House.
I'm my opinion this was a
Thomson bill from beginning
to end, and the interest of the
public was not involved"
Senator Donovan is a mem
Der of the Senate committee
that killed the Thomson bill.

land.
Budget Awaited
The move to reSurrect the
sales tax, which also has been
killed by the Senate Finance
Committee, will not be made
until after the committee re-
ports the budget which the
House passed this week by a
surprisingly strong 1928 ma
jority.
A nine member Senate
Finance subcommittee, with the
budgetcutting bloc holding a
ga majority, went to work on
the bill over the weekend.
Cuts from $40 million to $13
million are expected to be
made by the subcommittee.
Administration hackers feel
they have sufficient strength in
the 40-member Senate to re-
ject any amendments cutting
the House version of the budget.
If necessary they will try to
replace the deleted items when
the bill comes to the floor.
Among projects in jeopardy
is an item for Sic million to
begin construction of George
Mason College, the Northern
branch of the Uni
verSity of Virginia at Fairfax.

new way to hold itself together
during growth, it will go to
pieces before attaining matu-
rity.
Warned that a quarter mil
lion new residents are coming,
it fears their impact will dis
integrate it into a hodgepodge
Of competing municipalities.
It also is apprehensive about
bordering cities which are be-
ginning to look avariciously
toward its tax rich suburbs.
Change Proposed
This concern has produced
proposals that Fairfax adopt
a new kind Of government out
lined in the Urban County Plan.
Proponents of the plan con-
tend it will help keep the coun-
ty intact by simplifying solu-
ton of problems that could
tear 1t apart. # ..
The problems result from the
rapidity with which new resi-
dents are flooding into the
county and the demands they
impose upon government.
Whatever their initial
thoughts, most people who quit
the city for the countryside soon
insist upon regaining the urban
conveniences they left behind.
The cost of creating plants
and organizations to serve a
new population is enormous. 1t
will be especially so in Fairfax
where by the end of the decade,
nearly a half million people will
be dispersed over 400 square
miles.
Service Costs Vary
Not only is the cost of in
augurating services high, but
1t varies from section to section
Of the county.
Occupants of developed areas
already receiving services fire.
quently are reluctant to pay
higher taxes to extend them to
newcomers settling elsewhere.
Farmers and other rural
residents who say they do not
want urban services complain
that they should not suffer
increased taxes for the benefit
Of those who do.
Thus, it can be politically
as well as financially difficult |
for Government uniformly to
expand many Of The standard |
municipal services throughout
a county.
AS population swells, devel-
oped areas scattered about the
county tend to become COM
munities with a homogeneity
OF interests beyond their desire
for services. A concentration
OF people causes local prob
lens and concerns which often
diverge from those elsewhere
in the county.
Thoughts Of Freedom

seek authority to attend to
their own needs. They thus

ness conducted by the SRC And lawyers
chosen in large part out of political considera-
ton will continue to receive the bulk of the
business. This will be made up of title search
ing and handling condemnation cases in local
courts. Key SRC officials say it would be
impossible for the agency to handle all of this
work, and perhaps this is so. 1t would be
interesting however, to see the results of an
objective study on how much the SRC might
save in taxpayers money by handling its own
legal business altogether rather than farming
it out.
Some lawyers in the General Assembly
see fit to refuse such SRC business because
of the conflict of interest situation it puts
them in. More power to them. Others re-
fuse such business but not for quite such
noble reasons. These latter are the important
State legislators who are also lawyers and
who find it more lucrative to represent home
owners against the SRC. Thus they are, in
our opinion, in position that is even worse
as far as the taxpayer is concerned.
In such situation as this the leading
State legislator (who may be in position to
do serious harm to the SRC's all important
budget that must be approved each year by
the General Assembly, is standing before the
SRC demanding more money for his client
And if the SRC members weren't inclined to
be somewhat conciliatory toward this individ-
ual who can do them such great harm when
the legislature convenes, they would be less
than human. When they give extra considera-
ton to the lawyer in question, the taxpayer
is paying extra.
All of the above notwithstanding the step
taken by the SRC was a good one and, we
reasoned they should be given some credit.
Then we read the SRC announcement little
closer and noted that statement to the effect
that "the Federal Bureau of Public Roads is
requiring that closings be handled by the com
missions attorneys in cases where Federal
funds are used toward the purchase of high
way rights-ofway." Suddenly it all came
clear!

Hope FIared Briefly
Then Suffered Out
Viewpoints

Conflict of interest is never popular
subject with some politicians and some office
holders. They keep hoping it'll quietly go
away somewhere and lie down and die. Nor
does it compete successfully for reader inter-
est with such subjects as: Il Married for
Money But Wouldn't Do 1t Again" or rs
Sex Really a Problem"
Conflict of interest--as a prOblem-neyer.
theless is an important one and should be dis.
cussed.
One of the more hoary conflict of inter-
est situations in Maryland is the practice fol-
lowed by the Maryland State Roads Commits
sion of farming out legal business-great big,
lucrative patches of ito attorneys of the
right political faith. The ability of the LAWYER
and the promptness with which he performs
his assigned work are rarely considered His
political position is more often the important
criterion.
SRC officials argue stoutly that it is CO.
incidental, but the fact is that many attorneys
in the General Assembly wind up with good
deal of the lucrative SRC legal business. And
many citizens have never understood how
these NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. can wear two hats
to the extent of being employed by the SRC
for part of the year and then, when the legis-
lature is in session, turn right around and
regulate or investigate or do anything else
they want to with the roads agency.
Now along comes an announcement from
the SRC that it will hire seven full-tirne law
yers to do legal work for the SRC and-as a
result-save about $4,000 annually.
This, we thought was wonderful! At
long last 1T appeared, the SRC was dropping
the old political spells system to hire its own
lawyers, working fuIl-time for the State and
being paid by the State. We hoped in vain!
A quick check with the appropriate off.
cials revealed that the new policy is being
adopted only in connection with so-called clos.
ings-that is, the handling of settlements in
real estate transactions. The old system will
still apply in two thirds of the total legal bust.
