Fairfax Board
Adopts Budget;
Cuts Tax Rate
Supervisors Take
Surprise Action at
Special Session

A budget designed to raise S667,-
070.83 for school and other county
operating expenses for the 1944-45
fiscal year, was adopted yesterday by
the Fairfax County Board of Super
viSors in a special session.
The action came as surprise
since at it's meeting last Wednesday,
when the proposed budget was pre-
sented. the board indicated it would
defer final action until the April II
meeting.
The county-wid tax rate set by
the board, will be s212 per 500
property valuation, exclusive of road
bond indebtedness, or a reduction OF
II cents from the tax rate last year.
This rate is expected to raise S113.-
566.09 for county operating expenses,
and s453, 3,50474 for schools.
In adopting the budget as adver-
tised, the board rejected proposal
submitted by the County School
Board, and favored by various school
groups in the county, for an increase
OF II cents in the tax rate for q
school building fund.
May Use State Funds.
Board members said that in re-
jecting the proposal, they were of
the opinion that any increase would
be unfair to the majority of taxpay-
ers, who had been lead to believe the
board intended to lower the tax rate
this year. The School Boards
budget, submitted several weeks ago,
had met with the supervisors ap-
proval and the board members felt
they could not agree to a last-min-
ute change in the budget figures.
Members present yesterday said
they would favor the appropriation
of all or any portion of certain
State funds in excess of $27, 900 this
year, as anticipated on the revenue
side of the budget, for a school
building fund. The anticipated ex-
cess will probably amount to as
much as would be raised by the pro-
posed 1l-cent increase, it was said.
The various tax levies are listed
as follows: County levy, 80 cents.
reduction OF 10 cents; reassessment
Of real estate, cent, reduction of 2
cents; fire protection, cents; Con-
federate pension fund, cents; po-
lice retirement fund, cent; school
operating fund. s155; school capital
outlay fund, IA cents.
Vacancies Filled.
A special levy of cents will be
made in Dranesville district for road
bond Indebtedness, a decrease of 33
cents, and a levy of cents in Mount
Vernon district for the same purpose.
a decrease of cents. No levy will
be made in Falls Church district
this year, resulting in a decrease
of Is cents.
The board accepted the resigna-
tion of Thomas Ja Stockton as a
member of the County Planning
ICommission and Board of Zoning Ap-
peals, who resigned to accept a po-
sition of planning engineer with the
Planning Commission. John Brook
