Virginia Schools
LoseS136,OO1ir1 in
Tax-Free Areas
Cost Of Educating
Pupils From Federal
Property Described
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Sept. 9.-Seven-
teen Virginia communities suffered
a net loss of $136,001 during 1948-
40 in educating children living on
Federally-owned reservations, the
State Department of Education
disclosed yesterday.
A total of 1878 children whose
parents lived and worked on the
tax-free Government installations
attended nearby schools operated
by Virginia counties and cities, the
department said.
On the basis of State averages,
they utilized 66 classrooms, &c
teachers, and cost localities total
of $231,372.
Norfolk Area Most Costly.
Most of the money was spent
in the Norfolk area on children
from nearby naval installations
Army and Veterans Administra-
tion facilities in Arlington anc
Fairfax Counties were the seconc
biggest problem.
The Federal Government REIN.
bursed the localities $68,058 ir
funds under the Lanham Act, de.
signed to meet such situations, &C.
cording to r. C. Hayden, assistant
superintendent of public instruc.
ton. And the General Assembly
provided another $27,313. But the
localities had to put up the bal
ance of $136,001.
Department of Education think
ing, Mr.. Hayden said, is that the
Federal Government should pay
the entire cost of such lnstruc-
tion, including per capita cost OF
teachers salaries, building and
debt servicing.
S170 Million Voted by Senate,
The Senate yesterday passed a
$170 million bill to help States
build schools in areas near Fed
eral reservations. The money
would be distributed on a dollar
for-dollar matching basis.
Under the law, localities must
certify that their school budgets
are IN the red to qualify for funds.
This means that local school
boards must engage in the "poor
business practice of deficit finaac-
ing, or certify that they 90 moi
have the money they actually
have" Mr.. Hayden explained. As
a result. he said, many sehoc
boards do not apply for the funds
Twelve of the II affected locali.
ties did not apply for Fedora
funds.

Over School Bonds

Judge Arthur Sinclair of Fair
fax County Circuit Court has ruled
that the City of Falls Church has
followed the wrong procedure ir
claiming damages for delay ir

appointed, the temporary in
junction petition was filed by

"a former council member, Mrs.
Merrill Chanel, a former assistant

Alvin Tasker.
In the cross-bill filed by the

resulting from the restraining
order was costly to Falls Church

not the proper method for filins
the claim.
