2-County Base Survey
Proposal by Planners
Wins Council Interest

A joint economic base survey of
Montgomery and Prince Georges

Fred. W. Tuemmler presented
the proposal to the Montgomery
County Council. Mr.. Tuemmler is
director 81 planning Of the COM
missions Prince Georges Office.
Mr.. Tuemm1er asked the council
to join the planning commission
and Prince Georges County on
cials in setting up and financing
the survey.
Council Interested.
The council expressed interest
in the joint survey. It said it
would name an official to repre-
sent it in setting up the frame
work and determining the cost,
Mr.. Tuemmler emphasized the
survey would cost more than did
a similar one completed recently
in Arlington County. The cost
there was reported to have been
S., 900.
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr last month recommended to
the council that a survey be made
in Montgomery county. He said
then he would include its cost in
his budget for the next fiscal
year.
Useful Data Forecast.
Mr.. Tuemmler told the council
there is great need for basic
economic information to be used
in planning. He said the planning
commission did not have a large
enough staff to operate a research
division of its own.
Mr.. Tuemmler said he thinks
the results of an economic base
survey would be beneficial both
to the planners and other county
officials. He said school officials

June the woods were full of To-
Gusts and the noise of their sing
ing. The song has no resemblance
whatever to the shrill, undulating
screech of the annual locusts so
common in August and September
and known as the dog-day cicadas.
"The song and all the notes of
the larger variety Of the 17-year
|cicada are characterized by a burr
sound and at least four different
|utterances may be distinguished. +"
The locust has a lot of enemies
birds, hogs, dogs, fish and squir-
relS. Those which came out here
in 1906 were destroyed by birds.
But whether you call him the

cada. or Magicicada septendecim,
don't blame him for eating the

that way.

Edmund D. Campbell, attorney
for the Arlington County Board,
said last night the Arlington Cir
cult Court erred in the decision
barring Federal employees from
service on the County Board.
The controversial decision was
given by Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy on Monday.
"I believe the Circuit Court
erred in its decision because Sec
ton 80 of the State Constitution
says any one who is eligible to
vote can hold Office in the State, =
Mr.. Campbell told the Arlington
Civic Federation. II suggest that
this section is a bar to af1y legis-
|lation that would restrict the
right to hold Office In any way"
Cites 1857 Law.
Judge Mccarthy ruled that
Board Member Alan L. Dean is
barred from serving as a board
member because, of a law enacted
lin 1787. and subsequently re-
|enacted, specifically prohibiting
Federal employees from holding
State or local Office.
He said a law enacted in 1928,
which excepted Federal employees
from the earlier statute, is un-
constitutional because it is special
legislation. The 1928 law provided
for the exception in counties hav-
ing population density of more
than 300 persons pen square mile.
At the time of its enactment, Ar
lington was the only county which
qualified.
To Appeal Decision.
Mr.. Campbell told the fedora
ton the ruling also would require
the removal Of Board Chairman
Robert w. Cox, an employe of the
Budget Bureau, and Daniel A.
Dugan, who was a Federal en-
ploye when elected to- his present
term of Office.
Mr.. Campbell said the decision
will be appealed to the Virginia
Court of Appeals. He said every
effort will be made to obtain an
early decision from the appellate
court. He said attorneys would
ask the Circuit Court to stay exc
cutien of it's order, pending the
appeal, so the board members
may continue in Office until set
tlement.

Board Prepares
For Referendum
On School Bonds
Data on -Foirfux
Need of CIussrooms
And Cost Ordered

The Fairfax County School
Board is preparing for a new
school construction bond issue
referendum.
Schools Supt. w. T. Woodson
was instructed by the school
board at a meeting yesterday to
prepare data showing how many
new classrooms will be needed
for the next several years and
how much they will cost.
The action was taken on mo-
ton of Robert F. Davis, school
board member from Falls Church
district. He said the school board
should be ready with the new
bond issue by the time the pres
ent SOS million issue is spent.
The present sos million issue
was planned to cover school con-
struction needs through last Sep
tember. Enrolment already has
increased beyond that point, and
5000 new students are expected
each year.
Favors Shorter Period.
Mr.. Davis said he thought it
would be better to confine the
new issue to needs of the next
two or three years, instead of
attempting to cover a long-range
program. He said that during
the recent budget hearings, men,
bers of the Board of Supervisors
indicated they preferred to A.
nance school construction with
bond issues instead of paying for
new buildings directly out of the
tax levy.
The school board discovered
that $296,035 cut from their
budget request by the supervisors
will not affect any of the pro-
posed expenditures during 1852
SO. They found it possible to cut
that sum out of an anticipated
balance at the end of the 1852
So fiscal year. School officials
said this will not affect any of
the new construction, teacher
salaries, or other expenditures as
they originally were set up in
the school budget.
Public Hearing Set.
On motion of Mr.. Davis, it was
voted to have a public hearing
on the already adopted school
budget at 8 pm. May as at the
Fairfax High School. Mr. Davis
said the people were not given
an opportunity to express their
views on the school budget be-
fore II was adopted by the school
board. The only public hearing
was before the Board Of Super
visorS.
He said it wouldn't be possible
to alter the total amount of the
budget now, but some internal
rearrangement might be consid-
cred after the school board hears
recommendations from the pub
lie.
Cafeteria Authorized.
Mr.. Woodson was authorized
to let contracts for cafeterias at
five school projects where they
had been deleted due to insuffi-
|cient bond funds. All the projects
are now under construction. They
are: Baileys Cross Roads, Free
dom Hill. Holm Hall, Mount
Eagle and Dunn Loring.
School officials said money for
the cafeterias probably would
come out Of funds set up in the
budget for capital expenditures.
The cafeterias may be used for
classrooms if the schools are
crowded.
r. r. Buckley, school board
member from Centreville district.
voted against building the cafe
terias at this time. He said the
school board might run short Of
funds on a number of other
projects, and need extra money
for them.
