Arlington Not to Vote Next November on Dropping 2 Offices Arlington voters will be asked to decide proposed changes in the County Manager Act in November, 1952 but on opportunity to ballot for or against discontinuance of the offices of county treasurer and commissioner of revenue still is undecided. Mrs.
Florence Cannon, chairman of the Arlington County Board, said today the county's delegation to the Virginia General Assembly told board members last night that not enough1 public interest in the latter question has been shown. The delegation, State Senator Charles R. Fenwick, and Delegates J. Maynard Magruder and George Damm, met with three non-partisan members of the board, non-partisan Member! elect Allan L. Dean, Attorney Malcolm D.
Miller and Attorney-elect William J. Hassan. To Seek Legislation. The delegation agreed that It would seek enabling legislation for a referendum next November on three amendments to the County 'Manager Act. These woud provide for changing the tenure of the county manager from a definite to an indefinite term; providing for a decision by the people as to whether the county department heads should be appointed by the county manager or by the County Board, and a vote on a proposal that the five board members be elected on a staggered term basis of two in one year and three in another year.
Although the delegation has taken under advisement legislation on elimination of the two offices because of lack of public interest. iMrs. Cannon said, County Board members feel that interest of the Arlington Civic Association and other county civic groups has been adequately demonstrated. Lack of Discussion Cited. Senator Fenwick said the delegation's position is that not 1 enough public discussions has been held on the question.
Early last summer the Civic Federation had asked for a round-table public forum on the matter and none had been held. The League of Women Voters had asked for the three county manager act revisions but not for abolition of the two offices, he said. The matter is still being weighed, he added. The proposal would eliminate the county office, now held by a Republican, and the commissioner of revenue's office, now held by a Democrat, and would lump these functions in an enlarged Department of Finance. A serious question being weighed by the delegation.
Senator Fenwick said, is whether it is wise to abolish the offices of two elected officials, directly responsible to the people, and replace them with a tax levying and tax collecting official responsible to the county manager who is appointed by the County Board.

Mt. Vernon Area Studying Plea For Annexation to Alexandria A group of residents in the Mount Vernon District of Fairfax County is studying the possibility of having that area annexed by Alexandria. Arthur H. Bissell, of Tauxemont, said petitions had been prepared asking the Alexandria City Council to survey the annexation possibilities. Mr.
Bissell said the Fairfax group wanted a study made before indorsing the annexation idea, however. The idea arose as citizens considered the possibility of incorporating Mount Vernon as an independent city. A committee headed by Andrew W. Clarke, retiring State Senator, is preparing a charter to be considered at the 1952 General Assembly which would allow incorporation of the area as a city. The next meeting of that group is January 4 at the Penn Daw Hotel.
Citizens interested in the annexation proposal, however, think creation of an independent city might be too expensive and that 4 municipal services might be more easily obtained by uniting with Alexandria which already is operating-the type of municipal service desired. Among those interested in studying the annexation idea are John F. Hughes, of Hollin Hall; Clifford Carlson, Wellington; Maurice E. Odoroff, Tauxemont, and Ralph C. Politte, Tauxemont.
