There's got to be another way
of getting the thing down and
up. A crane, one hidden in the
valley behind the amphitheater
stage, is a possibility. It could
hide back there in the trees with
the balloon clutched in its great

Naturally, it is not as simple
as that.
Cranes go about their work

Byrd because Of the State Sem

authorizing a study Of architec-
tural costs in school construction,
and the possibility Of creating a
school planning agency under
the State Department of Educa-
ton.
Architects Fees Cited.
According to Mayor Beverley,
$240 million has been spent for
new school construction in Vir-
ginia during the past three years
A$12 million Of which went for
architects fees.
Virginia used to have school
architectural service for commu-
mites. It was abandoned In

Too Late in Session.
Mr.. Donovan told The Star
last night that 1t is too late in
the legislative session to do any,
thing on a matter of that kind"
1T seems to me that what
Mayor Beverly wants Is to re-
store a system done away with
years ago as not being satisfac-
tory or advisable for either the
school system or the architec-
tural trade" he said.
II would wish to discuss the
matter further with the Mayor
before reaching o final opinion -

81 Million Increase
In Fairfax Schools
Budget Explained

Fairfax County School Board
members yesterday said the cost
Of running county schools may
increase by more than 81 million
because of rapidly rising enroll
ment and proposed teacher sal
airy boosts.
I At meetings during the past
week, the School Board ham
mered out a tentative" school
budget at SIS million. The
schools are operating now under
a $6.3 million figure.
Board member Fred w. Rob-
inson said 1000 or 5000 more
children will enroll in county
schools next fall-an estimate
based on the enrolment in
creaSes charted in recent years.
Operating costs, he said, will
include salaries for additional
custodial employees. for addi-
tional teachers and for a pro-
pOSeQ teacner salary raise OF at
least 5000 annually.
The tentative budget, Mr.. Rob-
inson said, will be brought be-
fore the public at an open meet
ing March 8. at 8 pm. in the
Fairfax High School. The meet
ing will precede presentation Of
a final budget to the county
supervisors.
Present school costs are de-
rived from q $2.l0 tax rate.
School authorities estimate that
figure will be upped by about %
cents If the SIS million budget
Is approved.
The tentative budget does not
include new construction costs,
according to Board Member Mrs.
H. c. Crowder. New schools
are paid for by school bond
issues.

Virginia Bill
Offered on Area
Road Problems
,Hirst Asks Increase
In Representation on
Stute Commission
By Alex R. Preston
SScF Stcff coVrasnondauS

RICHMOND, Feb. 20.-Wash-
ington's metropolitan area, with
its critical road problems. would
gain stronger representation on
the State Highway Commission
under two proposals to be offered
the General Assembly when it
reconvenes Monday.
Delegate Omer Hirst Of Fair
fax. had the plans ready in two
bills ready for introduction. ;.
The House Of Delegates, mean
while. passed and sent to the
Senate today bill to give a
third Judge to each of the two
circuits next to Washington.
Election of Judges.
The bill carried an emergency
clause which means that the
general assembly would elect
judges before adjournment on
March Is. Otherwise, Gov. Stan
ley, who lost the area in last
years primary and general cleo
ton, would be entitled to select
the juristS.
Two different approaches to-
ward modifying the Byrd auto
matte tax credit law were made
In the House this afternoon.
One was by Delegate Armistead
Boothe of Alexandria and the
other by Delegate George
Cochran of Staunton.
The measures were introduced
as the House again met by itself
In Saturday session to grind out
Q long list Of non-controversial
matters on its calendar. Patrons
Of the new bills both said their
proposals did not violate the
spirit of the Byrd law.
Tax Bills Compared.
Under the Cochran bill, tax
credits would be tied to the APP
preparations made by the As
sembly rather than to revenue
estimates made by the Governor
several months before the as
sembly acts. Only if actual
revenues exceeded expenditures
authorized by the legislature
would money go back to the
taxpayers.
The bill. by Delaware Boothe,
would tie the tax credits to reve-
nue. estimates made by the Gov
ernor each year as of July is.
Since neither attempts a grab
at the. 81 million that Byrd law
people say the Assembly is NOR
ally obligated to return to the
taxpayers, they might be con-
sidered compromises between
the Carter Bill to suspend tax
refunds for three years and the
Byrd law purists.
But Senator Harry F. Byrd,
jr., author Of the tax credit
law, has declared hmieslf en-
phatically opposed to any COM
promise of the law. He led the
senate finance committee in
killing the Carter bill, 10 to S,
after it had already passed the
House. 56 to 40.
HirSt Offers Alternates.
Mr.. Hirst offered the legis1a-
tors two alternate methods Of
giving his area what he regards
as more equitable representation
In the State roads policy.
One bill would create IL high
way construction districts, in
stead Of eight, with the new areas
embracing the 10th district, the
Richmond and the Norfolk areas.
In this way, road funds would be
divided in II approximately
equal parts.
An alternative proposition by
Mr.. Hirst is to leave the existing
eight construction districts UNI
changed but to require appoint
ment of one highway commits
sioner from each Of the 10 con-
gressional districts. plus one COM
missioner at large.
