Highway Resurfacing
In Fairfax Expected
To Require 100000

Fairfax County motorists are be-
ginning to let up on their brakes
when they travel on secondary
roads. And the "slow-rough road"
signs are starting to come down.
Credit for this is due to State
highway employees, directed by Resi-
dent Engineer J. H. Phillips, who
have patched most of the pot holes
on through secondary roads.
At the same time, however, they
have torn out the roadway on the
more badly broken surfaces.
Winter Was Severe
Ahead lies the task of placing new
surfacing on the ,scarifled or torn
out sections and patching the breaks
on hard-surfaced subdivision roads.
1t will require an estimated $780,
900 to complete the repair job on
Fairfax County's secondary road
system, highway officials said.
Last winter was one of the most
severe in recent years and many
roads we're badly broken. Emer-
gency repair expenditures will cut
deeply into county road funds. AS a
result, many scheduled road i'm
provements must be deferred this
Spring and Summer.
Mr.. Phillips, who is in charge OF
road work in Prince William, Fair
fax, and Arlington Counties. said
Fairfax was the most seriously hit
county in his area.
Hard surfaced mileage in Prince
William Is less than in Fairfax, and
the repair bill will not run so high.
Arlington County maintains its own
secondary roads, and Mr.. Phillips
said the State has nearly completed
restoration of winter damaged pri-
mary roads in Arlington.
rs Miles Torn Ont.
More than 100 tons of stone have
been applied daily in patching the
secondary roads of Fairfax County.
Nearly 25 miles of badly broken road
have been torn out in preparation
for new surfacing. 1t will be Sep
tember before all surfacing has been
replaced. Mr.. Phillips estimated.
1t costs around 81 per ton for
patching, $4,000 per mile to scarify,
and $4,000 per mile to strengthen
and apply new surfacing.
With patching and scarification
completed on. through secondary
routes, highway forces will concen-
trate now on patching subdivision
roads and replacing road surfaces.
The most seriously-broken roads
in the county were the Hunters Mill
road (Route 674). the Old Dominion
drive (Route 1881, the Florist
Pender road (Route/ 608), and the
Annandale-Bu road CRoutes 649
and 900, the Highway Department
said.
Patching of the subdivision roads
will be long and difficult task, Mr..
Phillips said. Many were poorly con-
structed, and repair work will be
tedious. There are 491 subdivisions
in Fairfax County.

Nonpartisan elections for the

Mr.. Sauter made known his views
while -criticizing school authorities
for "exerting pressure" for CON

unnecessary fields"
In advocating the nonpartisan
elections he became the first COM
missioner to indorse a proposal ad-
vanced by the Montgomery County
Council of Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions.
Backs Other Local Control.
Mr.. Sauter declared also that thu
county, rather than the Governor
should determine the composition
of such local agencies as the County
Liquor Control Board, the Suburban
Sanitary Commission and the Mary
National Capital Park ane
Planning Commission. He said HI

different view, of the matter, de-
claring that the Republicans had
never decided. to have a County
