PR Held Too Complicated.
Some have urged the adoption
of proportional representation sys-
tenn as a means of assuring repre-
sentation for minority groups, es-
peciaIy the Negro population. The
authors have discarded this as be-
ing too complicated.
Some sponsors of the measure say
the proposed plan leaves the door
open to minority representation.
They take it for granted that Negro
and other groups would have repre-
sentation.
Councilmen would be paid $1,000
a year. The compensation was kept
this low to avoid attracting pro
fessional Office seekers" interested in
pay ahead of service.
The council would name one of
it's members mayor. He would have
a $1,000 expense allowance.
Members of the School Board
would be paid up to $3.50 a year,
with the board president getting
a maximum of $375 year.

ing development near Seven Corners
If voters approve a water system

have announced.
Town Manager Roy F. Dunn has
so informed the Kings Kitchen cor
pcration, in reply to a letter re-
questing the water
The action apparently ends a
discussion as to, whether Falls

supply the housing development.
Falls Church now purchases water
from Arlington under legislation en-
acted last year by Congress. $50
Council J. n. Mccarthy, who ha.
handled Falls Church water mat.
tiers for several years, expressed the
opinion that the law specifically for.
bade Arlington sell water outside
its corporate limits except to po.
liticai subdivisions. He. contended
this would prevent an agreement
between the county and Kings
Kitchen.
Citizens who advocate mu-
nicipally-operated water system fol
Falls Church have held that sup
porting revenues could be expected
from contracts to supply nearby
communities in Fairfax County.
The corporations letter asked
Falls Church to furnish water fol
construction purposes and to give
assurance that a sufficient supply
will be made available when the
project is completed and the homes
occupied by an estimated several
