Decision Due tomorrow
On Virginia FueI-Tax Law
By the Associotsd Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. IL, - The
constitutionality of Virginia's fuel
tax law on out-of-State truckers
may be decided, once and for all,
Monday by the State Supreme Court
of Appeals.
The court last heard arguments
in November on an appeal filed by
Mason & Dixon Lines, Inc, a
Tennessee trucking company, from
an order of the State Corporation
Commission assessing the firm for
back taxes of $27,958 and penalty
of $1,000 for failing to purchase
100000 gallons of gasoline in the
State between July l, 1912, and
December 81, 1945.
In addition to its contention that
the tax law is unconstitutional, the
trucking concern protested that it
was an unreasonable burden on in
terstate commerce and unfair. Un-
der the existing law, carriers not
buying enough gasoline in the State
to cover their travel over Virginia
highways are required to pay into
the State treasury a sum equal to
the tax on the gasoline consumed.

tributions amounting to more than
$500 in money, food, clothing and
furniture yesterday awaited the

Montgomery County tenant farmer.

cultural Agent Henry Shoemaker to
occupy a home near Frederick and
work on a farm there.
Corpl. Anderson said four other
offers of homes, all on farms on
which Mr.. Ford was promised en-
ployment, had been made since a

tive, the family. has received ap-
proximately S255 in cash. food,
clothing and furniture, including a

100000 Bond Issue
Asked for Schools
In Charles County
specioi Dispatch 10 The Sfol

LA PLATA, Md, Jan. 11.-Charles
County's representatives in the
General Assembly were asked today
to introduce legislation authorizing
an $500, 900 bond issue to finance con-
struction of new public schools and
improvements to present buildings.
The request was made by Schools
Superintendent F. Bernard Gwynn
at meeting attended by State
Senator James B. Monroe, Delegates
R. Vernon Cooksey and j. Franklin
Winkler and approximately so other
persons.
Under plans approved by the
county School Board, an estimated
$670 900 would be spent at La Plata,
$4,000 at Bel Alton colored High
School, $4,000 at Hughesyille High
School and $4,000 at Glasva High
School.
IL More Rooms Asked.
New construction at La Plata
would provide eight additional class
rooms for high school students and
four for elementary grade pupils.
A basement playroom and land
scaping of school grounds also are
part of the La Plata program.
Mr.. Gwynn said the La Plata High
School, now the county's largest,
will absorb the 10th, 18th
and 18th grades from all other high
schools in the county except Lackey
at Indian Head.
He said the amount asked would
meet pressing needs -
Four classrooms and a cafeteria
would be built at the Bel Alton
School and plumbing and heating
systems installed.
Plumbing Needs Included.
Appropriations at Hughesville and
Glasva would be used for improve
ments of plumbing systems.
Mr.. Gwynn assented that under
recently approved reailocations Of
State revenues, costs of the program
would impose only nominal addi-
tional tax burden.
"If provisions of the Sherbow tax
plan remain unchanged" he said,
'the bond issue can be retired in "a
years through an advance of only
five cents in the present $1.20 tax
rate"
