Fairfax Commission
Drafts Plan for 7 New
Election Districts

Fairfax County's redistrictine
commission has decided to divide
the county into seven new election
districts and tentatively has agreed
to the new boundaries.
This was disclosed yesterday by
John w. Rust, commission chair
man, as he replied to charges by
the Fairfax Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations that there has
been undue delay in preparing a
lredistricting plan.
The county now has six elec-
ton districts. One member is
elected to the Board of Supervisors
from each district. Seven districts
will add another supervisor.
"We're working as rapidly as we
can to prepare plan that will
meet approval of the people," said
Mr.. Rust.
Population Count Awaited.
The commission is awaiting 9
report from the planning director
to show the exact population Of
the seven new proposed districts
Mr.. Rust said.
Mr.. Rust disclosed that the
tentative plan would affect bound
aries of all existing districts. There
had been rumors that some dis
tricts would remain unchanged
and an additional district would
be added in the urban area.
We've tried to set up districts
with as nearly equal population
as possible and practical" sale
Mr.. Rust. 1--WE probably coulo
have done the job faster, but
we wanted a plan that woulo
be good for many years to come.
Another Hearing Forecast.
When the population report /:
received from the planning direc-
tor, Mr.. Rust said, he expects the
commission to hold another public
hearing. He said he hopes those
who appeared will have specific
plans and recommendations-"not
just general statements that have
no bearing on the manner in which
the county should be redistricted.
After the public hearing, Mr.
Rust said, the commission will
reach it's final decision on a re-
districting plan and make it pub
lie. He predicted this will be
done before the end of this year
Once the plan is made public, Mr.
