Studies Plea
For Water RATE Rise
In Alexandra, Fairfax

Requests for higher rate sched-
ules, which would increase con-
sumers' water bills by over 40 per
cent in Alexandria and about Is
per cent in Fairfax County, were
being considered today by the
State Corporation Commission in
Richmond.
A hearing on the new rate
schedules requested by the Alex
andria Water Co. and its subsid-
iary. the Virginia Water Co., was
held before the commission yes
terday. The commission then re-
served its decision. according to
the Associated Press.
Firms Serving n, 900.
The two privately-owned util-
titles. controlled by American
Water Co. Of Philadelphia, serve
about $4,000 persons in Alexandria
and parts of Fairfax County.
Company representatives told
the commission the proposed new
rates for the Alexandria utility
would increase earnings from the
present 2.35 per cent to 5.13 per
cent. The subsidiary Is seeking
increases from 1872 to 1885 per
cent.
Subsidiary Rates Higher.
Water bills in Alexandria, how
ever, still would be lower than
those in the Fairfax areas served
by the subsidiary, under the pro-
posed new rate schedule.
The only opposition at the hear
ing came from r. M. Lynch of
Fairfax, who said he felt the new
rates should be the same for both
companies. The Fairfax Board of
Supervisors has gone on record
in opposition to the rate increase
Of the Virginia Water Co., but no
official representative of the board
was present at the hearing.

Battle Signs Measure
Creating 10Th District
BY the Assoeioisd Pres.

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. H.
Gov. Battle yesterday signed two
major pieces Of legislation ap-
proved by the 1852 General AS
sembly-the Tucker bill opening
relief rolls to public inspection
and the Fenwick-Moses Congress
sional redistricting bill.
Both will become law June 20.
The Governor failed to get As
sembly approval Of q request he
made on the final day Of the ses-
sion Saturday on the redistricting
bill. He asked the Senate to tack
an emergency clause onto the
measure so it would become effec-
tive upon signing. This would
have allowed Congressional candi-
dates time enough to qualify for
the July IS primary.
Since the emergency clause
failed, Congressional candidates
will be nominated generally by
convention rather than by pri-
mary this year. That includes the
candidates in the new 10th Dis

9th Graders Learn to File Income Tax

ON a long form or q short form is

Taxes. and particularly income
taxes, have been q part OF the
curriculum Of the general business
course In the ninth grade for about
three years.
Unlike most Of their elders, the
youngsters square on with such
adult nemeses as the 1040 and the
l040A with no more qualms than
they approach q problem in ele-
mentary algebra.
In Mrs. Anna j. Stems class at
Banneker Junior High School,
students get a thorough ground
ing in the art Of filing in these
forms. They work practical prob
lens in computing taxes.
Mrs. Steen also makes sure the
students understand that Federal
taxes are set by Congress and
that control Of them rests with
the citizens who elect the Senators
and Representatives.. Experts from
the Internal Revenue Bureau
have helped Mrs. Steen in her
teaching BY explaining the re-
turns from their viewpoint.
Three Of her students already

S. That full exemption from the

s. That top claim on parking

that ultimately all county-owneo
