The sale of a $3.3 million bone
issue to finance school construc-
ton today has the formal approva
of the Prince Georges County

Tax Boost Is Urged
In Arlington 10 Raise
Teachers Pay S4O0

The Arlington School Board is
asking the County Board to ap-
prove an enlarged STAT tax rate
for schools to permit a $400 in
crease in teachers salaries.
Supt. William A. Early said to-
day he is writing to Mrs. Florence
Cannon, chairman of the County
Board, informing her that the
School Board has approved his
recommendation that the present
salary scale of $4,000 to $4,000 be
increased to range from $4,000 to
I$5 $500. The highest figure would
be received by teachers with doc
torate and at least II years ex-
Iperience.
The School Board approved the
Recommendation at a meeting last
might at Stratford Junior High
School.
The school budget originally
proposed for 1951-52 would have
required a $1.40 rate per $1OO
Iof property valuation.
The 7-cent increase now sug-
Igested by the School Board would
raise the total proposed rate to
$2.72, including $1.25 for general
county purposes.
The County Board must act on
the total proposed budget of ap-
Iproximately $11,5 million and set
the tax rate by midnight Monday.
The proposed $400 salary in
Icreases for teachers. would be
added to the annual increment of
500 or 5000 provided in the reg
Iular salary scale. The $4OO in
crease was strongly indorsed at a
public hearing on the school bud
Iget last week.
Mr. Early announced the School
Board Office will close today and
reopen Tuesday at new quarters
in the old Gilbert Home at 1912

|12-Cent Tax Increase
To Meet School Needs

School operating and construc-
ton budgets requiring a 12-cent
tax increase for the 1872 fiscal
year were recommended last night
by the Montgomery County Coun-
ell Of Parent Teacher Associations.
The group met In special session
in Rockville.
The budgets, which were termed
"catch-up and keep up" programs,
would provide 318 additional class
roms at a cost of $11 million
About $50 classrooms are being
built under current appropriations.
The recent School Board con-
|struction report called for a $6.6
million appropriation for the COM
ing year, although officials warned
that actual budget figures might
be higher.
Would Increase School Cost.
The PTA-recommended operat.
ing budget would increase school,
costs by an estimated SIS million
over current expenses.
| The 12-cent tax increase, based
on estimates prepared by Leslie
M. Able. member of the PTA
Budget Committee, would raise the
county basic tax rate to $2.02. Mr.
Able expected it also would take
case of other expanding county
costs.
Admitting that an even larger
increase was indicated by proposed
figures, Mr.. Able justified. his esti-

Water Supply
Action by Council
Is First Authorization
In Washington Area

Alexandria has become the first
community in the Washington
area with an ordinance providing
| for fluoridation Of public water
supplies.
The City Council adopted the
ordinance last night when no op-
position developed at a public
hearing on the proposal.
Alexandria Is supplied by the
privately owned Alexandria Wa
ter Co. The ordinance does not
require use of fluoride in the wa
ter but authorizes and requests
lit.
Howard Richards, manager of
the water company, said his firm
is willing to use f1uoride as soon
as Fairfax and Prince William
Counties. which are served by the
same reservoir, adopt similar
ordinances.
| The council authorized the
School Board to proceed with
plans for construction Of a large
elementary school on a city
owned tract at the foot Of Patrick
street. near Hunting Creek. The
planning commission had recon-
mended that the school plans be
held up until an urban redevelop-
ment survey is completed because
lit might show another site would
be more desirable. Edward s.
Holland, a member of the plan
ming group, said the survey should
be complete in 80 days.
Time Factor Stressed.
School Supt. T. C. Williams said
time is important because the
school will be needed by the fall
OF 1852. Although the survey may
be finished within 80 days, Mr..
Williams said further delays would
result in the event another site
is recommended.
Councilman Leroy Bendheim.
on whose motion the School Board
was authorized to proceed, said
details of financing the new
school will be worked out under
the new budget to be adopted
when Alexandria shifts to a fiscal
year beginning July l.. Previously,
the fiscal year has conceded with
the calendar year.
The board decided to build the
elementary school instead of a
proposed new high school when
lit found the site acquired for the
latter was not large enough. Mr..
Bendheim explained last night
that when the high school site
was bought it was adequate. He
said State regulations recently
adopted made it substandard.
Charter Parleys Assured.
Councilmen assured a delegation
from the Alexandria League Of
Women Voters that the charter
commission would be consulted be-
fore any amendments are made
to the year-old city charter. Mrs.
Warren Turner, jr.. president of
the league, said her organization
had heard a council committee
was reviewing the charter for pos
sible amendments.
I'VE believe the charter reform
OF 1850 was. an excellent job" said
Mrs. Turner, "and we think we
now have an excellent charter" T"
Councilman Bendheim said when
the council committee was ap-
pointed two weeks ago, it was
clearly intended that any changes
in the charter be discussed with
the charter commission. He said
there also would be ample public
hearings on any proposed changes.
