Mr.. Bendheim asserted that
Alexandria is aware that Fair
fax faces financial problems in
developing sparsely settled Sec
tons and needs tax revenues
from its urban areas to solve
them.
"We're sympathetic to the
county's difficulties and don't
want to do anything to COM
pound them. But think Fair
fax, with more than 400 square
miles, has enough room in
which to grow" he said.
No Room to Expand
1--WE would like to explain to
county leaders that we will
have no more room for new
business and industry, with the
hope they will appreciate our
problems"
Mr.. Bendheim declared that
numerous county residents liv-
ing around Alexandria have ex-
pressed interest in joining the
city.
I'm addition to the fact that
that they already are oriented
toward Alexandria, they realize
they would almost Immediately
receive tax reductions as well
as complete urban services" he
said.
For instance, our real estate
tax rate is $3.15 per 500 as
SeSsed evaluation, and we will
have no increase this year. In
Fairfax, it is now $3.75 and a
90-cent increase has been pro-
posed"
