Arlington Asks

Gas Prices
County Boord Seeks
Check of Wholesale
Charges to Utilities

The Arlington County Board
yesterday voted to ask the Fed
eral Power Commission to inves-
tigate the wholesale prices paid
for gas by the Washington Gas
Light Co.. and its subsidiary which
serves Northern Virginia, the
Rosslyn Gas Co.
The board also acted in another
public utilities matter-the re-
quest of the Chesapeake & Poto-
mac Telephone Co. of Virginia
for a third rate increase since
1916.
On recommendation Of the
County Public Utilities Commits
sion. the board authorized the
League of Virginia Municipalities
to participate actively in hearings
before the State Corporation
Commission on the county's be-
half. Arlington will share in the
cost of the representation as 1t
did in the second general rate in
crease when the county expendi-
ture was about $500.
Differed on Procedure.
In the gas rate question, the
action followed recommendation
last month by the County Public
Utilities Commission but board
members differed on the proce-
dure which should be followed.
Daniel A. Dugan moved that J.
Paul Blundon, Keyser, w. Va,
consulting engineer, who had
conducted an exploratory" sur
vey Of the rate structure Of the
Rosslyn concern, and Albert A.
Carretta, PUG member and attor-
ney, be authorized to proceed
with the request to the FPC.
Alfred E. Frisbie offered a SUBJ
stitute motion that the FPC be
requested to investigate the whole
sale rates ''on its own petition" "
Mr.. Dugan retorted that the
substitute motion came "a couple
of months too late" referring to
the fact that the exploratory
survey was ordered in December,
The survey cost the county about
81 900, and the cost of presenting
the case to the Federal agency
was estimated by Mr.. Blundon
and Mr.. Carretta at $4,000.
Frisbie Motion Passed.
Chairman Basil M. DeLashmutt,
who earlier had stated the board
should plan for future moves in
the field of utilities rates rather
than argue the merits OF each
case" at each meeting OF the
board, interjected that Mr.. Fris-
bie's motion might not be too
late"
During the discussion several
PUG members came into the meet
ing. After discussions with them.
the board passed Mr.. Frisbie's
motion and instructed
Commemorative Attorney Den-
man T. Rucker to prepare the
necessary papers for transmission
to the FPC.
The board agreed to acquire a
playground site in the Aurora
Hills section. accepting a recon-
mendation of the County Planning
Commission that the 4-acre Fort
Scott tract" be obtained. The site
is on South Twenty-eighth street,
west of Fort Scott drive.
Footbridge Authorized.
Construction of footbridge on
North Roosevelt street under the
Old Dominion Railroad overpaSs
was authorized. The bridge will
be for use when flooded conditions
from heavy rains make the road
way impossible. 1t will cost 81 200.
At Mrs. Florence Cannon's in
sistence, the board agreed to dis
cuss appointment of a hospital
commission at the next meeting.
Such a group is necessary before
the county can share in Federal
funds for hospital construction.
The appointment was urged last
week by the Civic Federation.

Battle Says He'll Seek
81 Million 10 Build
Schools if Elected
BY the Associoted Press

Senator John s. Battle of Char
lottesville said today If he is
elected Governor his first act
will be to recommend to the Gen
eral Assembly that $4,000 be
made available Immediately for
school construction.
The sources of this money
would be the State retirement
fund from which an accumulation
of more than $30.000.000 as of
July. 1850. could be borrowed on
a safe basis: the general fund
surplus, estimated at $4,000, 900
at the end of this biennium, and
the sinking fund, for the retire.
ment of the State bonded debt,
where there is an estimated
$12,000,000 in excess of legal re-
quirements," he said.
Mr.. Battles statement dealing
with school finances was released
from his headquarters here. He
is one of five men seeking nomina-
ton for Governor in the August
Democratic primary.
Also Minimum Pay Scale.
He said he would recommend
that this $57, 900 be offered to
the localities under such condi-
tions as may be prescribed by the
General Assembly. There also
will be available to the counties
and cities the increment to the
literary fund apd repayments of
loans which win average $780,
600 a year, he said.
In addition, he said If he is
elected he would recommend
these things to the legislature:
That, in addition to the school
construction made possible by the
above, the State undertake to
provide $4,000 900 a year for fur
ther construction until the sit
uation is relieved. In the absence
of severe financial recession this
should be possible without addi-
tional taxes.
THAT the State adopt a rea-
sonable minimum salary scale for
all teaching personnel with provi-
sions for periodic increases. based
on length of service and demon
strated ability. Both the State
and localities should participate
in the payment Of teachers sal
aries.
Backs Local Control.
Assumption of entire salary
payments by the State inevitably
would lead to State control over
public school education. This
must not occur. The control of
schools must be retained by the
people in the localities.
That the retirement system be
re-examined and revised to pro-
vide more attractive benefits for
capable teachers upon retire
ment."
Along with these recommended
tions, the Senator said he would
recommend with equal emphasis
and insistence" that the General
Assembly take appropriate action
to assure:
That there must be renewed
emphasis on the fundamentals OF
sound education: no consolida-
tion of schools without the free
approval of local school authori-
ties, and sin local schools local
control is essential"
While the Senator said he be-
lieved the school system in the
State is administrated by "patrio-
tic educators" he also asserted
II find many who join with me
in dissatisfaction with the over
all results we are getting"
