Alexandra Council
Hears Attack on
S Budgets

The Alexandria City Council
last night went through the mo-
tions of a first public hearing on
the city's two proposed 1954-5
budgets. It ended after a little
more than an hour
About so Alexandrians filled
the council chamber despite ad-
vance notice by the councilmen
that they had not had time to
study the budget or to make
recommendations.
After setting June 9 as the
date for a final public hearing,
the council heard a scorching
criticism of City Manager Ira
F. Willard, author of both budget
proposals.
II have carefully analyzed
both budgets submitted by the
city manager and I cannot re-
frain from remarking that in
their preparation, the city man
ager has reSorted to a bit of
chicanery," declared L. B. Mayer,
reading from a prepared state
ment. He charged that Mr..
Willard, in the $7.5 million
budget was trying to push
through a 2 per cent sales tax
as a source Of additional reve-
nue..
"You can readily see that a
two per cent sales tax, if put
into effect for any time longer
than six months, would produce
more than the city managers
budget indicates is needed" Mr..
Mayer declared. This would
permit of a wild spending spree
on the part of council or create
a surplus to ease next years
budget"
The proposed SIS million IA
vored by Mrs- Willard offers five
alternative methods of raising
extra revenue, including a sales
tax.
The second budget of $50 mil
lion would require no new or
higher taxes. Alexandria depart
ment heads. on the other hand,
put their operating needs for
fiscal 1954-55 at $8.3 million.
A brochure outlining the scope
Of services envisioned in the two
budgets is available in Mr.. Will
