hibited from dlscharging passengers

densburg road was being considered
today by Milton Diehl. assistant to

use Cheverly-bound express buses

Cheverly buses to such an extent
that Cheverly residents are unable
to get on at the terminal at Seven

nue. Sc.
If the Cheverlv buses We're pro-
hibited from discharging passengers
at South Dakota avenue and Bla-

the problem would be solved
The committee also asked that
the b. line to Hyattsville be re-
established. Mr. Diehl asked that

Alexandra Gets 1851
As Housing Project Taxes

The sum of $27,62125 has been
paid to Alexandria this year by the
Federal Public Housing Authority
in lieu of taxes on war housing
projects, according to a report by
Richard S. Marshall, director Of the
Alexandria Housing Authority.
Mr.. Marshall said Sl1 .625 was paid
on the 300 units at Chinquapin Vii
lage; l5,4275 so on the BAL units at
Cameron Valley, and S568.75 on the
Is units at Ramsey Homes. an eX-
permental development for colored
families.
An average of SAP 10 per unit was
paid for the CSC units involved. The
sum is exclusive of the 60 cents per
month per unit paid to the city for
the collection of trash and garbage.
During 1912 only S16,06550 was
paid. The increase this year is &C
counted for by the fact that the
Alexandria Housing Authority took
over Chinkuapm Village on July /.
1912, and that all the Cameron VAL
ley and Ramsey Homes were not
completed until the end of 1912.

Virginia School Salaries Held
Lower Than in Lesser Jobs

children Virginia schools must COM
pete in the labor market with the
schools of other States. with the
Federal Government. with business
and with other employment agen-
cies.
"As long as the present salary
situation prevails this will continue
to be poor competition"
Meanwhile. it was learned that
the median (the midpoint, with as
many getting below the figure as
above of school salaries climbed
from 1922 in 1941-42 to 1922 in
1942-43, while the State average was
climbing from s1,054 to $1,059. The
increase in the median was due in
large part, it is believed, to the
equalization Of salaries for colored
teachers IN the lowey brackets.
