action February 26 on a proposed
loan to meet operating expenses,
change in the business license
tax and a new taxicab ordinance.
Parking Plan Proposed.
City Manager w. Rhodes Wood
bury reported on a plan for
municipal parking in the business
district. He said that a tract
behind the Post Office with
capacity of 80 cars could be
bought and surfaced for approx
mately $4,000. Future plans
provide for $50 parking spaces in
the same area at a cost of ap-
proximately $4,000, Mr.. Wood
bury said.
Planning Engineer A. Kyle Roop
said that similar plans are being
developed for three other areas
in the business district.
Mr.. Woodbury. recommended
that the council borrow $4,000
for emergency expenses not in
Guided in the budget. Among
these items, he said, are an
increase in salary for the city
manager, higher costs of garbage
and trash collection, additional
expenses of the reassessment pro-
gram, proposed expenditure of
$4,000 for civil defense and an
other proposed item of $4,000 to
operate an ambulance.
Mr.. McCrary said the Council
should not borrow for operating
expenses. -..
License Hearing Set.
Mr.. Woodbury. was asked to
draw up an ordinance providing
for the $4,000 appropriation and
also one for a proportionate share
of expenses of the Northern Vir-
ginia civil defense organization.
The Council voted to hold a
public hearing on a proposed
amendment to the business license
tax. The change would require
contractors to pay a tax on gross
receipts, regardless of where their
work is done.
The new taxicab ordinance
would require drivers to obtain a
city taxi license. Police investi-
cation of driver applicants would
be required.
A hearing was set for February
Is on a fare increase requested
by the Falls Church Cab Co. Lyle
S. Murphy, manager. asked for
all increase from 80 cents to IS
cents in the minimum fare for
one passenger. Also, the COM
pany wishes to set up four zones,
making 10-cent charge from one
zone to another.

Alexandra Traffic
Survey Recommended

An engineering survey Of Alex
andria's traffic problems is rec
commended in the annual report
of the city's planning commission
made public today.
The commission also asks au-
thorization for an aerial survey of
the city "as complete as possible
within the limit of available
funds"
City officials have discussed traf-
f1c surveys several times in the last
five years, but never have author
lied one. The planning commits
sion suggests that the survey pay
particular attention to traffic flow
and remedies for the parking sit
uation.
One plan to ease the downtown
parking problem already is being
studied by City Manager w. Guy
Ancell. His proposal is to build a
municipal garage in the 100 block
of South Lee street, where patrons
would use automatic time devices
like parking meters to pay for
parking.

Action on Constitution.
Urged by Montgomery.
Civic Federation

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation will ask the county
delegation to the Maryland Legis-
lature to seek reconsideration of
move for a constitutional con-
vention.
The civic group, which met in
the Woodward & Lothrop subur-
ban store auditorium last night,
added that, if reconsideration is
impossible, the county delegation
will be asked to urge a constitu-
tional amendment to distribute
representation more fairly in the
various counties. The federation's
resolution pointed out that Mont
gomery, Prince Georges and Bal
timore Counties have n per cent
of the States population, but only
At per cent of the delegates.
The House of Delegates last week
turned down a move for revision
of Maryland's constitution, un-
changed since 1867. on the ground
that the vote in favor of the con-
vention did not constitute a ma
jority of all voters.
Hits Change on Beer.
Another resolution adopted last
night struck at an attempt to
abolish Montgomery County's beer
monopoly system, which nets an
annual profit of approximately
S150,000 for the county.
The resolution. introduced by
Blair Lee III and given emergency
action, reiterated a most Wig
orous opposition" to a plan by
the States Alcoholic Tax Division
to abolish the county monopoly
and asked the county delegation
to withhold support of any such
legislation.
After lengthy debate, the fed
GRAFTON approved amendments to
the new county Zoning ordinance
clarifying and in some ways lib
eralizing laws concerning the use
of single-family dwellings. for
rooming houses and home bust
neSseS.
Hearing February FL.
The changes, it was said, would
give county authorities better con-
troll over such activities in resi-
dental A areas. The matter will
be aired at County Council hear
ing on February 81.
The federation. in approving the
proposed amendments, added the
recommendations that the board
be required to renew the land use
permit whenever there is change
in property ownership or opera
ton, that adequate off-street
parking space be required and that
the number of roomers be set in
proportion to the capacity of each
house.
In other action, the Civic Fed
GRAFTON Endorsed bill introduced
in Congress by Representative
Sasscer. Democrat, of Maryland
asking study. of single-agency
jurisdiction of Greater Washing
tons public service operations.
Sees Economies.
The resolution called the pres
ent public service administration
by several agencies inefficient
and Awkward" and declared:
Public opinion clearly reveals
the ACCESSIBILITY of investing in
one body responsibility and au-
thority for devising a uniform
realistic system for the good OF
the entire area. Such action would
tend to equalize the cost of pro-
viding service, effect economies
streamline and simplify the entire
operation"
The federation also passed a
resolution asking a study of pos.
sible further protection of prop.
erty owners against the effects OF
gravel pits and quarries operating
nearby.

Fairfax Joins
In Fund Plea fol
Dispersal Costs
Head of Supervisors
Sees Need for Extra
$40 to $50 Million

Fa1rGaX county today joined
other nearby areas in asking Con-
gress for funds to defray the cost
of additional expenses that will
be necessitated by the Govern
ment'S pending dispersal program
G.. Wallace Carper, chairman of
Fairfax County's Board of Super
visors, told the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee that the
dispersal program and the ex-
pansion of Federal employment
in this area means that $40 to $50
million would be required in ad-
ditional expenses.
Mr.. Carper said Fairfax County
had no alternative but to seek
funds provided under the pro-
posed defense housing bill.
The county of itself cannot
cope with a financial problem of
this magnitude, the witness de-
clared.
Extra Expenses Cited.
Mr.. Carper said the wage earn
,ers of Fairfax County are almost
Exclusively employees of the Fed
eral Government" and that the
population continues to increase as
the Government hires more en-
ployes.
Regarding dispersal of Federal
agencies to nearby areas Mr.. Car
per said nothing in the proposed
plans provides for financial as
sistance to local communities for
such things as enlarged and i'm
proved water supply. sewage,
schools, garbage and trash dis
posal, police, fire and other local
projects. Therefore, Mr.. Carpel
said, the communities involved
must turn to the Federal Govern
ment for assistance.
A similar view was expressed
yesterday by Arlington County
Manager A. T. Lundberg.
Acting Chairman Sparkman of
the Banking Committee voiced the
personal opinion that the pending
legislation should aid all COM
munities affected by any defense
program. He asked the commit
tee staff to confer with Budget
Bureau officials on this point.
Says Assistance Is Needed.
Senator Robertson, Democrat,
OF Virginia, said he thought the
effect on a community would be
the same whether it receives an
atomic plant or an Office building.
B. Alden Lilywhite, of the
Arlington County Planning Com
mission, declared, I'VE are pre-
pared to handle our normal plan
ming, but we need assistance in
this quick-impact planning, for
development of roads, streets and
water facilities"
During recent Senate Public
Works Committee hearings on
dispersal legislation, nearby Off
Gals were advised by Senator
Holland, Democrat, of Florida, to
present their claim for planning
funds to some other committee,
as the financial problem was not
under jurisdiction of the Public
Works Committee.
The Banking Committee at first
was surprised that the Arlington
dispersal issue was one which was
considered covered in the bill be-
fore then, but they listened at
tentively. Mr.. Lundberg said
today he felt the Senators had
given sympathetic consideration
to the Arlington problem, and
hopes that the bill will be in
terpreted as affording financial
aid requested.
