for a school construction bond
issue of approximately $3.5 million
The Republican Executive Com
mittee announced Friday that ii

Beverley Plans 10 Ask
Alexandra TO Repeal
|City's Cigarette Tax

Alexandria City Councilman
Marshall j. Beverley plans to ask
repeal of the city's cigarette tax
which was imposed on his motion
last summer.
II feel proposed expenditures
next year can be cut sufficiently
to allow repeal of the cigarette
tax" said Mr.. Beverley. He said
he would make the recommenda-
ton at an executive session of the
city council tomorrow night when
the proposed 1851 budget will be
considered.
City Manager w. Guy Ancell
has estimated the cigarette tax of
2 cents per pack will bring in
$150,000 during 1851. His total
proposed budget Of $4,981 1922 con-
templates a Is cent reduction in
the real estate tax rate, and a SO
cent cut in the professional license
tax rate.
Mr.. Beverley said he had pro-
posed the cigarette tax earlier
this year to bring in extra revenue
that he thought was needed. He
recalled that the city at the out
set Of 1850 had adopted budget
with a deficit.
But now that the city manager
states that we have a surplus, I
believe that the cigarette tax
should be abolished" Mr.. Beverley
said, referring to the fact that
a surplus of over $500,000 is ex-
pected to be carried over from the
1850 to the 1851 budget.
The Alexandria Retail Mer-
chants Association already has
announced plans to fight the
cigarette tax, claiming it has hurt
business in the city during the
past year.
Mr.. Beverley said he thought
one place where expenditures
could be cut is in the welfare de-
partment. He said the welfare
budget of $305. 900 reflects an in
crease of 100000 in the past two
years.

Virginia Areas
Btudy Regional
Sewage Plan
Alexandra, Fairfax,
Falls Church to Act on
Arlington Proposal

Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls
Church will consider an Arlington
County request to unite in joint
study of possible regional sewage
and water facilities.
The request is due to come be-
fore the Alexandria City Council
Tuesday night; before the Falls
Church City Council tomorrow
night. and before the Fairfax
County Board of Supervisors De-
cember 6.
Arlington has asked each of the
communities to appoint two mem
bers to an interim committee to
look into possible creation Of a
regional sewer and water author
ity. Arlington appointed Robert
w. Cox, member of the County
Board, and B. Alden Lillywhite Of
the county planning commission.
Arlington has suggested that the
other communities also appoint a
member of their governing bodies
and a planning commission mem
ber as their representatives on the
committee.
To Study Bond Issues.
Among the questions to be con-
sidered by the committee is what
effect recent sewer bond issues
in Arlington and Fairfax might
have on any recommended re-
gional plan. Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond of Virginia has
ruled that the So million Fairfax
bond issue cannot be used for a
Joint sewage treatment plan, but
1t has been suggested that another
vote could be held If surveys show
q joint proposition would be
cheaper.
Arlington meanwhile is going
ahead with plans to enlarge its
existing sewage treatment plant,
for which $2,617. 900 bond issue
was approved November 7. Mr..
Cox. who proposed the joint sur
vey, said he expected the commit
tee could report, however, before
construction of the additional IA
cilities actually begins.
Alternative Methods Suggested.
Several alternative methods of
sewage disposal have been sug-
gested. Nearby Virginia commu-
mites could pipe sewage under the
Potomac River for treatment at
the District plant or one big
nearby Virginia plant could be
built.
The committee is expected to
recommend which alternative Is
cheaper, and whether q regional
authority would be the best
method Of operating water and
sewer facilities.

Court
Told Lewis Case
Is Challenge
Gambling Arrests
Impugn Integrity,
Defense Contends

A motion to quash gambling
charges against William (Snags) .
Lewis and 10 other defendants was
taken under advisement yesterday
by three judges who heard the
case described as "a challenge to
the integrity of the State of
Maryland"
William H. Collins, defense at
torney. told the panel in Prince
Georges County Circuit Court
there is enough to be done in
the District to occupy law enforce
ment officers there without going
into the State Of Maryland"
He referred to the fact that
Lewis and the other defendants
were arrested in raid at Bladens-
burg in March, 1949, ordered by
United States Attorney George
Morris Fay of the District, and
carried out by deputy marshals
from the District. Lewis and
some Of the defendants were in
dicted by both Maryland and Dis
trict grand juries. @
"The full intent of this raid was
to suggest that the United States
Attorneys Office and marshal's
office in Washington are honest
and no one else is" said MIR.
Collins.
Jury Hung in First Trial.
Frank M. Hall. another defense
attorney. argued that Federal au-
thorities took evidence from the
raid into the District. made what
use Of it as they were allowed to
do, "and now are passing the buck
back to this CONTRASTING you to
pull their chestnuts out of the
fire."
Lewis and 13 defendants face
retrial in the District on gambling
charges that arose from the Bla-
densburg raid. When they first
were tried in the District last De-
cember, the jury was unable to
reach a verdict.
In the motion argued yesterday.
defense attorneys claimed the
search warrants that resulted in
the arrests were illegal for three
major reasons: an incorrect ad-
dress was given in the warrant as
the gambling headquarters; the
warrants did not specify the
probable cause" for suspicion, and
That the warrants were issued to
unauthorized persons.
Bowie Speaks of Address.
States Attorney A. Gwynn
Bowie said the fact that the gam
bling establishment was listed as
being in Colmar Manor instead of
Bladensburg did not matter be-
cause there was only one 4310
Forty-sixth street in either COM
munity.
Mr.. Bowie said he did not agree,
that all facts leading to issuance
OF q warrant have to be set out
IN the warrant. He said the court
OF appeals in the District already
had decided that the warrants
were issued to authorized persons.
Assistant States Attorney Her
vey Machen argued that the ap-
peals court in the District had
ruled in effect that the search
warrants were legal.
Judge Charles C. Marbury, John
3. Gray, jr.. and Dudley w. Digges
took the motion under advisement.
