Fairfax 10 Discuss
Record Budget al
Hearing Tomorrow

Fairfax County residents will be
given an opportunity tomorrow to
tell the Board of Supervisors what
they think about the largest pro-
posed budget In the county's his
tory.
A public fearing on the budget
will be held at the county court
house beginning at 10 am. tomor-
row.
OF the $4,74e, ,008 fiscal plan, the
school budget accounts for $4,313, ,306,
representing a proposed increase of
1884 ,479 over expenditures for the
current year. OF the record-break-
ing school budget $2,748, ,487 would
be for capital outlays for new sites
and buildings to meet the needs OF
the fast-growing number OF pupils.
This would be an increase OF ST.
54O187 over the capital outlays for
this year.
The proposed budget also carries
increases for teachers salaries In
line with the trend all over the
country. The budget Is based on an
average increase of about $400 for
teachers now in the system, and
a $4,000 minimum for new teachers
School officials pointed out that If
any cut were made in the school
budget, it would have to be taken
out of teachers salaries which al
ready are below the level of sur
rounding metropolitan area COM
munities.
Under the proposed budget, the
total county tax rate on real prop
erty would be s307 per 500 valua-
ton of real property. This repre-
sents an increase of 81 cents over
the present rate. The budget in
cludes an item of 5000 for plan
ming and coming, which represents
an increase of $4,000.
There would be an increase in the
Police Department budget of s4o,-
345.
It. has been pointed out that the
S2.748,4S7 capital outlays for new
school buildings and sites is not
reflected in the proposed tax rate
because it is planned to obtain the
funds from the State through the
Literary Loan Fund.
