Approves Budget Of
S2,007,380 for 1916

The Alexandria City Council last
night approved a $2,007 $3.50 budget
for 1916 in an executive session
following a public hearing before
a small group of residents.
The hearing was marked by pro-
tests from Newman H. Raymond,
1907 Dewitt avenue, concerning ap-
preparations for the plumbing in
spectors Office and the new Juve-
nile and Domestic Relations Court.
Mr.. Raymond pointed out that the
$6,120 budget for plumbing inspec-
ton, with a salary of $500 for
its department head, was out of
proportion to other department
budgets because of the Importance
Of the work done by the department,
the large number of inspections re-

spector, Victor E. Bagle, is called

He argued that the Health De-
partment budget of $76,75O is I'M
doubtedly necessary, but spent to
no avail if faulty plumbing condi-
lions are permitted to exist and
breed disease.
In his protests against the 5000
budget for the new Juvenile and
Domestic Relations Court, Mr.. Ray
mond called attention to the fact
that it is lower than that of the
dog pound, set at $4,000. He con-
tended that the newly elected Judge,
Marion B. West, is being called on
to handle delinquent children. but
will receive a salary of only s2,4Oo.

Virginia Council Ask,
S48O Salary Increase .
For State Legislators
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 22.-The
Virginia Advisory Legislative Coun-
Gil. reporting yesterday on a study
made of compensation paid mem
bers of the General Assembly, rec
commended pay increases which
would bring their salaries to 81 200
instead of the present $720.
1t also favored reducing the 10
cents per mile allowed for travel
ing expenses to five cents a mile
plus >%actual necessary expenses
other than cost of transportation.
The committee advocated the pay
increase be brought about by a $40
per day allowance during the ses-
sion and SIS per month for each
month of their term.
1t also suggested that if this were
done, pay for special sessions should
be reduced from $12 per day to
$40, and limited to the actual DAYS
OF the session. At present, mem
bers receive $3.50 for an extra ses-
sion regardless of its length.
No Extra Expense.
The committee, headed by C,
OConnor Goodrich, Fredericksburg,
said it agreed that the present scale
barely covers expenses of members
during their stay in Richmond and
does not take care of extra expense
incurred from time to time when
legislators return to the Capitol in
the interest of their constituents
between sessions.
The committee said it questioned
the idea that by increasing COM
pensation, men of higher caliber
would be attracted to the Assembly
1t declared that it believed "the
State has been exceedingly fortu-
nate in the high type of men who
have composed her legislative bodies
for many years."
A bill covering statutory changes
was drawn up by the committee to
be presented at the 1916 session of
the General Assembly. If adopted,
pay Increases will become effective
on the second Wednesday of Janu-
airy, 194S.
The committee also recommended
group plan for graduated hospi-
talization and surgical insurance
for State employees.
Under the recommended program,
the State would pay one-third of
the cost which would make neces-
sary an appropriation of $4,000
Tor the next biennium. In order to
make it possible from the stand
point of group insurance, it was
pointed out that it would be nee
essary for rs per cent of all eligible
employees to join.
The report called attention to the
fact that the cost of hospital care
is a heavy burden to those in low
salary brackets and that they are
likely to postpone care until more
drastic and expensive treatment
is needed. Approximately 1900
teachers and $4,000 State employees
would be covered.

the charges were made, the board of
directors of the County Farm
Bureau demanded an investigation
be made of home demonstration
work in the county.
AT that time, James D. King,
board president, said farm women
have complained that home demon
stration programs were being de-
signed for suburban women and
that those living in rural areas were
being neglected"
Although the council agreed yes
terday to let the matter drop, at
least temporarily, Mrs. C. M. Upton,
council president, said her organiza-
ton had tentatively agreed to take
appropriate legal action IF the mat
ter reaches that stage"

Arlington Board Asks
State 10 Pay $4,000
On Right Of Way

The Arlington County Board yes
terday requested the State Highway
Department to give to the county
treasurer $19,5oo, its portion of the
$4,000 purchase price of the Fair
fax drive right of way.
The State formerly had agreed to
pay $4,000 per mile for the 3.9 miles
of the right of way, on which ii
proposes to construct dual lane
highway running from the Fairfax
County line to the Clarendon BUSH
ness area. At Clarendon it will
connect with North Tenth street

Fort Myer.
The Board will obtain or has OBJ
tanned right of way to a minimum
of 80 feet.
One of the major projects in the
county's postwar transportation
system, the highway will bisect the
Ballston business area. County
Highway Department officials stated
the traffic volume on Wilson and
Washington boulevards will be re-
lieved by the new road, adding to
the county traffic safety factor.
The board previously authorized
Commemorative Attorney Lawrence
w. Douglas to notify Franklin K.
Lane that the county will file con-
demnation proceedings against him
for the right of way. The suit is
expected to be filed on or before
March / and completed by May J..
1916, Mr.. Douglas said.
The board also authorized exc
cution of a deed by Mr.. Dougla.
through which the county will re-
celve 120-foot strips of land on both
the north and south sides of Four
Mile Run, adjacent to Shirlington
and west of South Seminary road.
The stream is being Strengthened
