A municipal merry-go-round
began to slow down last night
and an apartment development
found it is paying double fare
for the ride.
It all began when Shirley Duke
gave Fairfax County acres plus
for a school site. Both parties
thought it was q nice gesture.
Unfortunately, the land passed
over to Alexandria by annexation.
Fairfax got $53,100 for the S-acre
tract. Then Alexandria decided
it didn't want a school there at all.
So last night the City Council
passed a resolution to enter into
a contract with the apartment
owners to sell them back their
land.
Alexandria is looking for an
other school site and the Shirley

Court stemming from a dispute
among the heirs of C. c. Carlin,
ST., former owner of the Alexan-
dria Gazette, has been dismissed.

merits of the case itself, said that
the issue was beyond the juris-
Idiction Of the court.

ing validity OF trust said to have

ported to be $115,000.

trust never actually was executed
by c. c. Carlin, sr., and he &C
cuses c. c. Carlin, jr., his brother,
of creating "a fictitious and fraud
tulent trust" c. c. Carlin, jr..
owns So per cent Of the stock of
the newspaper.
Keith Carlin asserts that, as
one of the principal heirs, he
should receive so per cent of the
stock which was claimed by Miss
Carlin.
c. c. Carlin, jr., and other
members of the family opposing
the claim of Keith Carlin and
others. contended Federal Court
had no jurisdiction.
In upholding this contention,
Judge Wilkin said the suit ap-
lpeared to be an appeal from
judgments of the Corporation
Court of Alexandria. He said the
dispute was regarding the settle

It is not within the province

Arlington May
Vote eMay27o on
School Bonds
Court Gets Request
For Special Election
On So Million OutIoy

An $8.280,000 school construc-
ton bond issue is expected to be
placed before Arlington voters in
a special election May 81.
The bond issue request was pre-
Sented in a School Board reSolu-
ton given to Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy of Arlington Circuit Court
yesterday. School Supt. William
A. Early presented the resolution.
The School Board said the bond
proposal will cover foreseeable
classroom needs for elemen-
tary school enrolment increases
through the 1884 school year
and also for junior and senior high
school expansion through 1954-5."
The board already has strong
backing for its request. Less than
two weeks ago petitions bearing
more than 1000 signatures asked
that such a bond issue be put be-
fore the voters as soon as possible.
PTA Council Pushes Plan.
The Arlington County Council
of rent-Teacher Associations
obtained the signatures and pre-
Sented the request.
The boards resolution gave no
breakdown. of their spending plans
if the bond issue is successful, but
they did list some of the schools
which would be built and others
which would be improved.
The board also plans to pur-
chase school sites for future con-
struction from this bond proposal.
Among new schools which would
be constructed. the board said,
are:
Page elementary, at North Four
teenth and Lincoln streets: Tuck
ahoe elementary, at Twenty
fourth and North Underwood
streets; Taylor elementary. near
Twenty-sixth and North Military
roads; Williamsburg junior high,
with no definite school site an
nounced.
Schools which would be i'm
proved include:
Bancroft, Henry. Langston,
Madison, Hoffman-Boston, Jeffer-
son, and Swanson Junior High
Schools.
Tax Increase Cited.
In announcing the bond pro-
posal the School Board said:
"As taxpayers we realize this
bond issue must necessarily add
to our Arlington tax bill. How
ever, the cost will be spread over
rs years"
The board warned that failure
to build the schools listed in its
proposal would mean economic
losses in the future and meal
culable cost "in human values"
"The children for whom these
schools are to be built are here
now. If we do not approve this
bond issue there will be no alter
native other than halliday ses-
Sions, crowded and makeshift
classrooms and greatly decreased
educational opportunity for our
Arlington boys and girls"
The board said it based its eSti-
mates on school bids received
earlier this week on the new
Wakefield and Fillmore schools.
In 1850 Arlington citizens voted
against a SIS million bond issue
for schools, but in the spring of
1851 approved a pared-down YER
sion of the plan which totaled
