Loudoun Backs Sales Tax
For School Construction
Special Dispatch to The Sior

LEESBURG, Va, July 9.-Pro-
posals for a State sales tax, with
revenues used for school construc-
ton, have been Endorsed by the
County Board of Supervisors. The
board joined other counties by
adopting a resolution recommending
that Gov. Tuck call special session
of the Legislature to consider
adoption of this tax. The vote was
4 to 2.
The question was brought before
the board after a letter and SINH
lar resolution from the Franklin
County Board was read. Chairman
Baker said:
Unless we have sales tax, the
persons now paying taxes on per-
sonal and real estate will have to
bear the whole burden of taxation.
A sales tax is the only fair remedy
I see. I do not like the idea of a
few people bearing the whole bur
den of taxation
