Fairfax Signs
joint Sewage
Plant Contract
Supervisors Now
Await Approval
By Alexandria

Fairfax County yesterday
signed a contract to share Alex
andria'S proposed new sewage
disposal system.
BY unanimous vote, the Board
OF County Supervisors approved
the contract. G. Wallace Car
per, chairman of the board, and
Mrs. Edna Bicksler, clerk.
signed it.
All that remains to cement
the joint deal is final approval
by the Alexandria Sanitation
Authority. James j. Corbalis,
jr., executive director of the
Alexandria Authority, said he
would arrange special author
ity meeting as soon as possible
for that purpose.
The authority, on Tuesday
night, informally approved pro-
visions of the contract as it now
is written but could not give it's
final approval because copies of
the latest contract revisions were
no available.
$3,36O,OOO for Fairfax.
The joint system is expected
to cost $40, ,408, 900. Alexandria's
share of the cost is $7,O48, 900,
and Fairfax's is $3,36O,00O. The
contract guarantees Fairfax
County treatment facilities for
$4,000 residents, and Alexandria,
10000.
Under the contract, the Alex
andria authority will float the
entire bond issue for initial con-
struction, and Fairfax will pay
its share of the cost over rs
years at about $215,000 a year,
plus additional charges for op-
Grafton.
Fairfax charges for operation
will be based on the amount Of
county sewage treated. En-
gineers estimate this cost will
run from $4,000 the first year
to 100000 in the final years.
Engineers say the joint syS-
tenn will cost the two jurisdic-
tions $2,124,000 less than sep
arate facilities. Even greater
savings are anticipated in oper-
ating costs.
Year of Negotiations.
Fairfax's approval of the con-
tract yesterday ended nearly q
year of negotiations between the
two communities. The idea for
a joint Alexandria Fairfax Sys-
tenn grew out Of the regional
sewage disposal survey sponsored
by Alexandria, Fairfax, Arling-
ton and Falls Church two years
ago.
The motion to approve the
contract was made by Supervisor
Arthur Shaffer, who three weeks
ago raised a number of objec-
tions to the joint project. Mr..
Shaffer said his objections had
been met in the revised con-
tract.
The county plans to pay its
share of the joint project cost
with sewer service fees in the
areas to be served.
Portions of sanitary district
No. l and the new sanitary dis
trict No. 6 are to be served by
the joint system. Fairfax has a
new sewage disposal plant nearly
complete in sanitary district
No. /, but it is expected to reach
it's capacity by 1855.
The joint project will include
a sewage disposal plant on Hunt
ing Creek in Alexandria. inter.
cepting sewers along the Poto-
mac River and Commonwealth
avenue in Alexandria and inter-
cepting sewers along Holmes and
Cameron Runs in Alexandria
and parts of Fairfax County.

7 Arlington Candidates Speak
At Event Launching Campaign

Dolph Hays, School Board
candidate nominated by the Ar
lington independent movement,
a lawyer: more and more of
our earnings are going to local
taxes. Coupled with the way our
tax dollars have been spent it
has resulted in a demand for
buSinesslike handling of county
tax money. There is a need for
efficient administration of school
affairs"
L. Clark Keating, nominating
convention candidate for the
School Board, a language pro-
fessor at George Washington
University: Teachers are the
most important part of a school
system. The false economy
forced by the AIM County
Board is a severe blow to Ar
lington schools. Reduction in
the 512-year program (under
which pre-school age youngsters
were admitted to schooD and
abandonment of free textbooks
for grades 8 to IL are the SER
ious results of AIM action"
James Miles, Arlington In
dependent Movement candidate
for the School Board, a Navy
Department employe and former
school teacher: "One out of every
five of our teachers left us last
year. Our teachers have no job
security whatever" He blamed
this on lack of action on the part
of the present School Board to
enact merit system policy with
job security for teachers. Our
schools must return to the func-
tion of building the minds of
our children"
One County Board seat and
two School Board seats will be
filled in the November general
election.
Mr.. Miles introduced a new
wrinkle in Arlington politics by
arriving with a stenotypist to
take word-for- word record of
the School Board candidates
statements. He said the steno-
typist was arranged for by AIM
so there would be mo mistaking
who said what and when it was
said"

Campaigns for Arlington
County and school board seats
in the November election were
launched last night, with the
first joint appearance of all can
didates at a meeting Of the Co..
lumbia Pike Citizens Association.
Three county board candidates
and four school board candidates
addressed a. group of so persons
in the Patrick Henry School.
Candidates and their views
were: '~a''
Glen Bayless, county board
candidate nominated by Town
Meeting, a magazine writer: II
am for stopping the harassment
of our schools, restoring full cti-
zenship rights to all citizens OF
the county and restoring full
citizen participation in the af-
fairs of governmental program
ended by the Arlington Inde-
pendent Movement candidates
who were elected to the board
last year. 49,
Wesley w. Cooper, Democratic
candidate for the county board,
lawyer: II am unalterably OPP
posed to any form of tax increase
against the citizens of Arlington.
It is becoming increasingly diff
cult to support the county gov
ernment-particularly in the
style to which it has become
accustomed in recent years"
Richard Parli, Republican
nominee for the county board
seat, an architect: Il will sup
port the platform and policies
of the present board and i'm
prove on those policies and pro-
grams wherever I can. We need
a thorough study of present rev.
enue and tax structures to see
where we can get more money
without an increase in our tax
rates. There are too many peo-
pie living in Arlington who are
not paying their fair share Of
the tax burden"
E. r. Draheim, incumbent,
seeking reelection to the School
Board as a nominating conven-
ton candidate, Agriculture De-
partment employe: when Ar
lington children went to school
yesterday they were welcomed
by a full staff of well qualified
teachers. With today's
teacher shortage most commu-
mites, including several in this
area, still have many vacant po-
sitions and many poorly quail
fled teachers. Arlington would
not be so fortunate had our
School Board followed the sug-
gestions of James Miles and the
AIM County Board that cut the
1854 school budget some $780,
