Opposition Expressed
To Stond Token by
Foirfox Supervisors

State Senator Andrew w. Clarke.
who represents both Fairfax County
and Alexandria City in the Virginia
Legislature, and Alexandria and Ar
lington County business groups, yes
terday went on record as opposing
the stand by the Fairfax County
Board OF Supervisors in favor of a
State sales tax.
Inc motion, unanimously adopted
by the supervisors at their meeting
Monday, was offered by Herbert o.
bioant, managing editor of the
alexandria Gazette, who succeeded
Mr.. Clarke on the board as the rep
resentative Of the Mount Vernon
District.
Mr.. Clarke said he regrets that
sales tax has to be tied in with
the need for school improvement, a
principle which he has long ad.
yocated, but that he cannot help
but feel that such q tax would have
a disastrous effect on Northern Vir-
ginia.
Washington Hits Tax.
His sentiments were echoed bv
Delegate W. Selden Washington OF
Alexandria, who called a sales tax
a crippling blow to our merchants
through loss of sales which would
materially reduce the merchants
tax to the city and, thereby, the
citys revenue, and would tend to
reduce the flow OF new residents to
the community"
Mr.. Washington qualified his
statement, however, by saying that
we may to resort to the tax in
defense of better educational sys-
tenn"
At the same time, the Alexandria
Retail Merchants Association at its
annual meeting last night resolved
to continue its fight against the tax,
in view of the recent action of
Fairfax and Clarke Counties in.
approving it, while Charles Jones.
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, speaking for that body, called
1t "a nuisance tax, a burden on
those least able to pay, detrimental
to the business interests of the
State, and not needed"
Mr.. Jones statement pointed out
that at the hearings before the
commission appointed to study the
tax, no groups or individuals IA
vored it, and that since no new
facts have been presented, the
chamber still is opposed.
Council 10 Study Same.
/ Meanwhile, +the sales tax issue
was set for discussion by the Vir-'
ginia Advisory Legislative Council
at a meeting in Alexandra March
IA. The council is making study
of the overall picture of local and
! State taxes in Virginia.
!, Aubrey P. Grow president of the
{ Arlington Chamber of Commerce, in
} opposing sales tax, said it would
so depress business in Arlington
that ultimately the interests of all
Northern Virginia would be seriously
r affected"
/ He said that while the chamber
i favors greater financial support OF
, public schools. tax studies show thai
a sales tax hits hardest at the Low
and middle income groups. He added
that increased aid to schools should
be accomplished by a thorough over
hauling Of the States tax structure.
