FAIRFAX DISTRICT
LEv|ES NOT RAISED
Supervisors Unable to Make
Increase After Delay
Asked by Byrd.
Special Dispatch to The star.


FAIRFAX, Va, April THE Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors at a spe-
cial meeting yesterday laid the levies
for Fall tax collections. In response
to a telegram from the board, j. H.
Bradford Of Richmond, director OF Gov.
Byrd's Bureau of the Budget, came to
Fairfax In an effort to clarity the situ-
alton. MIR. Bradford and Leon Bazile,
assistant to the attorney general OF
Virginia. who was consulted over long
distance telephone, stated that the bud
get provisions in the new school code
and in the new road law passed at the
last Legislature would not go into effect
until next year. According to the old
law, the board can make no increase In
local levies without advertising that fact
for 80 days The law also provides that
levies must be laid In April. In re-
sponse to a request from Gov. Byrd,
the Fairfax County Board had deferred
making its budget for next year until
after adjournment of the Legislature
1t thereby lost the opportunity to make
any change in the budget as published
last year, for the Legislature. while
passing new budget laws, did not make
them effective Immediately.
No District Increases.
This means that the District levies
laid in Fairfax County this year cannot
be increased over last year. although the
money appropriated can be shifted from
one fund to another. 1t makes 1t inn
possible to grant the request OF the
school board for an increased levy for
school expenses or for operation under
the county unit tax.
The only fund showing an appreciable
increase in the county levies Is the
sinking fund for public buildingS-from
S cents to Is cents on the $100. With
the $4,000 already on hand this in
crease will raise SUFFICIENT money to
construct the necessary addition to the
clerks Office and make repairs TO the
Jail. The board felt that II the people
would agree to float bond issue to
cover the cost of construction this tax
might be remitted. Mr.. Farr stated
that bond issue can be paid of within
eight years with no additional expense
to the people II the people of the
county are desirous of paying for the
necessary new construction by bond
issue rather than q direct tax and will
so express their opinions to the super
ViSors the question can be voted on
at the time of the referendum on State
constitutional amendments June 10.
Levies Laid by Board.
The board yesterday laid the follow
ing levies: County bridge fund, Csc;
county levy, 25c: county pensions, Sc:
public buildings. l5c: merchants tax.
soc on the 500: county school tax, soc;
Centerville district school fund, soc;
