board said Wednesday that they
favor lifting controls They
agreed to consider taking the ac-
ton if the Commemorative at
torney finds they can act within
current Federal rent statutes,
The boards decision to have
the study made arose from a re-
quest by the York County Board
of Supervisors to Gov. Tuck ask
ing an end to rent ceilings. A
copy of the York boards resolu-
ton was forwarded to all county
governing bodies in the State

consider taking similar action.

Expediter. reported that governing
bodies of counties are not en-
powered to initiate legal action
leading to elimination of controls
Mr.. Buchanan said that only
the governing body of an incor-

request lifting of controls through
use of the machinery of the 1949
Federal rent control law. A public

Arlington May Buy
Own School Buses 10
Permit Better Hours

considering the establishment OF
county-operated school bus
system to facilitate proper dis
tribution of pupils and to permit
more suitable school hours.
This was disclosed yesterday
by Supt. William A. Early in an
appearance before the County
Board.
County school children now
rely on buses furnished by the
Washington, Virginia g. Mary
land Coach Co. and the Alexand-
ria, Bancroft e. Washington Tran
sit Co., a system used ever since
the county established Junior high
and high schools, necessitating
attendance of pupils who live out
of walking distance.
Declaring the schools are now
geared to the buses" Mr.. Early
stated that the transit Arms do
not furnish buses for first-grade
children who get out of classes
at 2 pm; to transport element
ary children to schools less crowd
ed than those in their neighbor-
hoods, or to permit opening of
junior high and high schools at
$3.50 or 9 am.
Best Hours Lost.
The superintendent said I'VE
are wasting the time Of children
and teachers in the morning
hours-the most valuable hours
for instruction. He said under
existing bus schedules, junior and
senior high schools cannot start
classes until after $50 o'clock
and. in some cases, almost 10I
o'clock.
Mr.. Early cited as an example,
the fact that six grades, rather
than two or three, must be taught
at the Hume School because buses
cannot be obtained to transport
pupils to another school. The
James Madison School, for in
stance. has room for pupils while
the John Marshall School Is over
crowded, he said. If buses were
available, pupils in the area of the
latter school could be sent to
James Madison.
In some places, the superintend-
ent continued, children who finish
first-grade classes at 2 pm. must
wait until $3.50 o'clock to get a
bus home.
In the cases of junior and senior
high schools, he said, the pupils
themselves have petitioned for
earlier starting hours.
Survey Is Planned.
Mr.. Early, who explained he ap-
peared before the County Board
as matter of policy to furnish
information, said school buses
cost about $500 each. He said a
representative of the State De-
partment of Education will make
a survey to determine exactly how
many buses are needed but that a
tentative estimate is 10. i
Except for the initial cost, the
State practically pays the cost of
the operation" he said. The cap
ital outlay can be spread over a |
f1ve-year period. he said. under a |
special State law.
Mr.. Early also pointed out that !
buses owned by the School Board
would be available for trips for
which classes normally charter
vehicles.
Most Virginia counties operate /
school bus systems but Arlington
has not because of its small area
(about 26 square miles, and the
fact that public transportation
has been available.
Although the County Board is
the tax-levying and fund-appro-
priating body in the county, the
question of establishing a school
bus system actually is up to the
School Board, members of the
County Board said after the meet
