News in Brief
Utility Bill Tox Asked
In Alexandria BUDGET

A proposed consumer tax on
utility bills is being considered by
Alexandria city councilmen who
are studying $5.1 million budget
for the year commencing July /.
City Manager w. Guy Ancell
proposed a 10 per cent tax on util-
ity bills to raise revenue without
increasing real estate leyies. Last
year the City Council turned down
a similar plan.
The city manager said the bud
get has been increased mostly be-
cause of a $500 a year cost-of-
living increase in salaries for pub
lie employees. Eight other Virginia
cities have a utilities tax which,
he said, makes it possible to reach
people who now use schools and
other facilities but pay only a
small percentage Of the tax bur-
den.

Military Strength Lacking.
In our present situation,

PAY RAISE-Stung by criticism
that the So per cent pay raise pro-
posal for Government employees is
too small, administration officials
declare Federal workers will be
lucky If they receive that much.
Administration spokesmen say
Congress. Notwithstanding the
Senate Civil Service Committee, is
not in the mood to grant a pay
raise of any more than 6 or per
cent, and that inssistence on a
higher pay raise will hurt the
chances of getting even modest
amount.
To this, pay raise sponsors say
that getting a Federal salary in
crease from Congress is a matter
of give and take, and that the
higher figure you start out with
the more liberal pay increase you
will get in the long run.
