Phone Rate Increase
Seen for Virginia as
Result Of Wage Rise
BY the Associafed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 10
Virginians faced the prospect of
Increased telephone rates today as
the aftermath to the settlement
of the long-standing Chesapeake
& Potomac contract dispute.
The State Corporation Commits
sion tentatively set aside two days
in october to hear C&P petition
for higher rates.
The company has made no for
NAL announcement about seeking
increases. However, during nego-
tiations with the CLIO Commune
cations Workers Union it repeat
eddy said that wage boosts would
mean rate increases.
Under the agreement reached
yesterday between the company
and the union. some 5000 C&P
employees in Virginia will receive
boosts ranging from So to $3.50
per week. ~@
Dispute Started in March.
The settlement ended a bitter
dispute that started back in
March. The old three-year con-
tract between the parties ran out
in May. but the employees stayed
on the job.
Finally. on July S. the negotia-
tors for the two sides reached ten
tative agreement on a new con-
tract. But the rank-and-f file mem
bership turned it down, necessi-
tating renewed bargaining.
The revised contract contained
few changes, dealing mostly
with seniority rules and differ
entail pay, but the pact accepted
yesterday was essentially the same
as the rejected agreement.
R. w. Bailey. international
representative of the union, said
it was approved by about IS per
cent of the membership. The
union has some 1000 members in
Virginia.
Rate Increases Approved.
The talk about another rate
boost began shortly after the cor
poration commission in March of
1850 gave the company a $685.
900 increase-its third since the
end of World War II.
In it's report to stockholders
last year, the company admitted
that another increase would have
to be sought because of C. & P.'s
expansion program and rising
costs.
So far. there has been no hint
OF how much the company will
seek.
c. & P. got it's first postwar in
crease in 1947, a raise designed to
bring in So million in additional
revenues. A SIS million increase
was approved in 1913.
The last two increases aroused
strong objections from Virginia
cities and counties.

Virginia Farmers Profit as Rabbits Multiply

|are some 100000 breeding rabbits
in the State scattered over most
|of Virginia.
The advantage of producing
rabbits, he said, is that they re-
quire little expensive grain in
their diet.
Rabbits have the further ad-
vantage of being able to adopt
themselves to a wide variety OF
diets.
They can eat well-cured forage
or fresh green feed, as we'll as any
of the common grains. Also, they
make good use of skim milk and
table scraps.
Also, rabbits have the capacity
to consume food in greater proper
ton to their weight than any other
domeSticated animal. This raw
material is rapidly converted by
the rabbit into edible food for
humans in the form of meat.
Dean said it takes only eight
weeks to produce a 41a-pound
rabbit while it takes five to six
months to produce the same

Warning Lights Off
Frequently at Night,
Residents Assert
By J. B. Zotmon

A controversy over whether a
500-foot abandoned radio tower
in Silver Spring is a menace to
low-flying airplanes has revealed
that the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration is powerless to re-
quire the owner to keep warning
lights burning on the structure.
Located about a half-mile off
Old Bladensburg road near Whea-
ton, the towers warning lights
are frequently of at night, &C.
cording to the CAA and at least
two nearby residents.
Arthur Katims, attorney for the
owner, the FIN Equipment Corp,
said the tower was erected in
1948 but was never used. He added
the corporation is engaged in ne
gotiations for its sale.
Although he refused to name
the firms officers, he identified
one of the stockholders as Theo-
dore Crank, who conducts the
American Forum of the Air"
Says Lights Replaced.
Mr.. Katims insisted that burned
out lights are replaced as soon as
complaints are received. but he
contended the periods during
which the lights are out are few
and far between.
But different story came from
Mrs. Madeline Allnutt, whose
house at GOT Gable street is about
200 yards from the tower, and
from Mark Reno, a Justice De-
partment attorney, of 11055 Old
Bladensburg road.
Since she moved there last De-
cember. Mrs. Allnutt said, she has
rarely seen the lights burning at
night on the steel framework. She
said she has complained without
success to the CAA and the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
"I'm afraid a low-fying plane
will come over one of these nights
and crash into it," she asserted.
A similar fear was voiced by

Big Surplus Reported
BY Alexandra With
End OF Fiscal Year

Alexandria came through the
1850 fiscal year with deficits OF
past years wiped out and a big
surplus to spare.
Facts and figures about the fl
nancial miracle are contained in
the annual Ernst & Ernst audit
report made public today. For
the most part, it confirmed the
rosy financial picture painted by
city officials just after the close
of the 1850 fiscal year.
The cold statistics of the audi
tors gave a simple explanation of
the city's recovery from financial
doldrums. First, tax and other
revenue collections were under
estimated in the 1850 fiscal budget
by nearly 100000. This included
the grant of nearly $250,000 for
schools from Gov. Battles emer-
gency school construction fund.
Spent $4,000 Less.
On top of this, the city spent
about $4,000 less during the
year than was budgeted-much
of it for construction work.
So even though the city had an
old deficit of $1,000 when it
started 1850, plus an anticipated
deficit Of $4,000 for the year, ii
managed to wind up $461 900 in
the black. Approximately this
sum was included as a surplus in
the budget. Since then. the city
has shifted to fiscal year that
began July /.
Unlike years past when auditors
have criticized too many special
appropriations and other poor A.
nancial policies, the 1850 audit is
confined principally to figures and
has little written comment.
1t is pointed out that SIPS, 900
the city borrowed to enlarge the
George Washington High School
stadium must be charged up as a
special appropriation because it
is improbable that the city will
receive ANY material amount"
from stadium receipts.
$557 Bill Paid Twice.
It is also noted that the city
paid a $577 bill to contractor
twice. The auditors said they
called this to the attention of the
city officials. and subsequently a
similar duplicate billing by the
same contractor for about 81 900
was discovered and corrected. The
contractor was not named.
The auditors said they thought
the city had an Inadequate" sys-
tenn of handling accounts for curb,
gutter and sidewalk construction
work.
The city's bonded debt of
s8,771, 900 is shown to be nearly
81 million below the legal limit
which is Is per cent of the
assessed valuation of real estate.
This is a wider margin than 1949,
when the city was within $1.8 mil
lion of the limit. The increase
IN real estate assessments from
$50 million to $76 million account
ed for the wider margin.

Fairfax Tax Rate
Cut Next Year
Seen byCarper
Figures Released
On Assessments
Of Real Estate

Hope for a lowered tax rate in
Fairfax County next year was ex-
yesterday by Chairman G.
Wallace Carper of the Board of
Supervisors after announcement
of the new real estate assessment
figures.
Assessor Graham James advised
the board that real estate assess
ments have reached $3.50 million.
A real estate assessment Of 500
million was used in setting the
current $2.65 tax rate. The in
crease should bring the county
$1,000 in extra revenue.
cit looks like we will have a
good chance Of cutting the tax
rate next year, If the school board
will stay within its budget" said
Mr.. Cooper.
$40 Goes to Schools.
He pointed out that 81 per cent
of the tax income goes to the
schools and the school board will
enjoy most of the 100000 surplus.
Mr.. Carper said it was unfortu-
nate that the county could not
cut this years tax rate.
"And I'm disappointed the esti-
mate was not more in line with
the final results" he added.
The 500 million estimate was
made by Mr.. James in March
when the county was required to
prepare its budget. At that time,
however. a reassessment of all
county real estate had not been
completed.
Breakdown of Figures.
The new assessment figures
were broken down for the various
magisterial districts, sanitary dis
tricts and towns as follows:
Centreville District. $4,000, 437;
Dranesville District, $5,533,777;
Lee District. S5,214,026; Provi-
dence Sanitary District No. /, ST.
502,675: Providence nonsanitary
district, S26,236.865; Mount YER
non Sanitary District No. /, $14,
281 1865; Mount Vernon nonsani-
tary district, $18,464,522, Falls
Church District, $43,4S6, $50, plus
some acreage yet uncounted; town
of Fairfax. $3.096,643; town of
Clifton, $164,205; town of Hern-
don, $1,582,987, and town of
Vienna. $2,206,175.
The Supervisors turned down a
plea OF DR.. Fred c. Heath, health
officer, for employment of two
new sanitation officers. DR.. Heath
said the six sanitarians now en-
ployed cannot take care of all the
work. He said the department has
some pending requests for sani-
tation services three months old.
