DEBATE GUT
BY ALARM

FAIRFAX, Va, March IA
heated argument on the value Of
volunteer fire departments in
connection with the countrywide
levy for fire protection at the
public budget hearing before the
county supervisors was brought
to a dramatic close with the
sounding Of q fire alarm.
Just as one tax payer had en-
tered q vigorous protest against
a tax levy for fire fighting and
proponents Of the levy had sprung
to their feet to answer him, the
debate was cut short by the
shrieks of the Fairfax fire siren.
The blaze which threatened the
Twombley residence at Pender,
was speedily conquered and the
firemen returned.
Opposition to the allotment Of
$4,000 for fire fighting was weak,
however, compared to the ap-
parent general sentiment in favor
of the measure. This was also
true Of the proposed appropria-
ton Of $1,000 for public welfare
work where the supporters Of the
project were in a strong majority.
A more determined fight was
made on the item alloting $4,000
for reasSessment of all county
real estate. Leaders Of the op-
position stated that while they
felt that the reasseSsment was
necessary they believed that the
work could be finished for half
the cost set if conducted under
the supervision Of the commits
sioner Of revenue. Adherents of
the measure claimed that the job
would take three men one year
to accomplish,
