Hog aaughterings
Reported in Virginia
On False Tax Rumor
Agriculture, Treasury
And County Officials
Join in Denouncing Lie

False rumors that the Govern
ment soon would levy tax of IS
per head on every hog a farmer
owns are causing considerable con-
Germ to Northern Virginia farmers,
it was learned today.
Some farmers were reported to be
planning much larger slaughterings
this season to avoid a levy that
doesn't exist.
So persistent have been the re-
ports of a hog levy in the new tax
law in Loudoun County that the
county agricultural agent, J. R. Lint
ner, will repudiate the reports In an
announcement in county news
papers.
The reports, Mr.. Lintner said, ap-
pear to have been heard most fire.
quently in the Lovettsville area, al
though he added that farmers in
other sections of Loudoun County
and adjoining Fairfax County also
have heard the rumors.
Both the Treasury and Agricul-
ture Departments said the reports
are without any basis of fact.
Such a tax, it was pointed out.
would tend to defeat the Agriculture
Department wartime objective of
increasing agricultural production
since it would cause producers to
reduce their numbers of livestock.
Some reports from farmers, which
could not be confirmed by Loudoun
or Fairfax County agents, said farm
ers were slaughtering more than the
normal amount so as to escape" the
impending" tax.
The Government in asking meat
consumers to ration themselves to
weekly allotment of 2l2 pounds
of meat week for each adult. has
extended this request to include
farmers who were asked to volun-
tarily ration their own consumption
of meat.
County Agent L. S. Greene of
Fairfax said farmers were being
asked to cooperate voluntarily by
allowing themselves no more than
l30 pounds of meat year for each
adult person in the family.

Maryland Officials
Resume Testimony
AT Budget Hearings
Rising War Costs Cited
In Pleas for Increased
ALLEGATIONS to Agencies
By the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 19-More of
Maryland's departmental and insti-
tutional officials came to Annapolis
today to outline to Gov. O'Conor
and other interested persons their
budgetary needs and the reasons for
the figures set forth.
The second session of the budget
hearings, first in Maryland's his
tory. was called for the afternoon
in the House of Delegates chamber,
where officials outlined yesterday
the effect of war on the operations
of State agencies.
Rising food costs and labor short
ages were factors consistently pre-
sented as the principal reasons for
increased budget requests in in
stances where greater ALLEGATIONS
were asked.
Harry S. Middendorf, leader OF
the Maryland taxpayers movement
called for elimination of all nom
essential State jobs, curtailment OF
capital construction, careful re-
appraisal Of public charity and pub
lie grants, and reduction in eX-
pendltures commensurate with cor
responding reductions in certain
forms of taxes"
He advocated reduction of eX-
penditures for higher education. cuts

DR.. Thomas G.. Pullen, jr., State
superintendent of schools, asserted

He also suggested a contingent fund

DR.. H. C. Byrd, University of
Maryland president, said the school
was operating on an $4,000 to
$4,000 deficit; that greater appro-
priatlons were needed for extension

BudgetSought
For Alexandria
$4,000 Increase
Not Expected to
Raise Tax Rate

An increase of approximately
100000 over the 1912 budget is
shown in the proposed budget for
1943 presented to Alexandria City
Council by City Manager Carl Bud
Wesky.
In presenting the budget, Mr..
Budwesky said that in line with
Federal regulations, no salary in
creases other than those passed on
during 1912 were contemplated, and
that the tax rates were expected to
remain unchanged. The real estate
rate is $3.50 and the personal prop
erty rate, $3.50 per $100.
The estimated 1943 budget stands
at 81 1853. .66416, as compared with
the 1912 budget of S1,373,57814.
However, due to the rapid growth
of the city. Alexandria received
more than the anticipated revenue
for 1912, and this years expenses
are exceeding the budget as a result
of salary increases and additions to
the city staff.
Outstanding items which are ex-
pected to increase during 1943 are
salaries of the Mayor and city coun-
cilmen which were raised by an act
Of the General Assembly from $500
for the Mayor and $3.50 for the
members of council to 81 500 and
$1,000, respectively, making a differ
ence of $500 in the city payroll.
Many Departments Raised.
Maintenance of sewers is esti-
mated at Sl4,l00 as against S10,O25;
the sanitation department expenses
will be raised to S66 145 from S49.685;
salary increases will bring the
health department to $42.756 from
s36,965; the police department to
s131 ,796 from $118.3O5, and the fire
department to S88, 400 from S0O,13O.
Street cleaning is expected to cost
s26,l90 instead of the s20315 allowed
for 1912, and the construction of a
new dog pound will raise the eX-
pense of pound maintenance to
$1,000 from $720.
An increase to $315.000 from
100000 will be asked as the city's
share of the school budget, and the
figure of $4,000 for civilian defense
appears in the budget for the first
time
Certain expenses are expected to
decrease.
Maintenance Of streets is estimat-
ed at s45 800 instead of S624OO:
construction will drop to sos ,275 from
S82,775, and the fund for tree plant
ing and maintenance is set at So
900 instead of $4,000.
Another reflection of the trend
of the times on the budget is the
drop in the anticipated appropria- =
ton for the welfare department,
which is asking s84,643 for l943 as
against s88,797 in the 1912 budget.
Realty Budget Lower.
In spite of the appointment of a
permanent real estate assessor at
salary of S450O, effective January
l, l943, the appropriation for real
estate assessment will drop from
SIS 300 to $1,000.
This is explained by the fact that
assessments formerly were made
every four years by board of as
SCISSORS, and 1912 was the year in
which the assessment was made with
the accompanying expense of sala-
ries.
The City Council will study the
proposed budget, which was made
by the city manager with recon-
mendations from department heads.
A public hearing on the final draft
will be given before adoption.
