Falls Church Asks
Special Census 10
Cut Bond Interest

Falls Church, in a move to
capitalize on it's rapid rate of
growth, is asking the United
States Census Bureau to make
a special population survey of
the city.
On the strength of the new
figures. requested by April /. the
city expects to sell its proposed
100000 school construction
bonds and S3a5 900 water rev.
enue bonds at lower interest
rates. It also hopes to use the
new figures to get a larger share
of various State revenues.
The bond issue comes up for
public referendum on March 3.
If it is approved. City Manager
w. Rodes Woodbury. told the
City Council last night. the bonds
could be sold at a lower interest
rate because of the lower per
capita debt figures reflected in
the new census He said the
cost of The census, estimated at
less than $4,000. probably would
be more than saved in one year.
Asks State Recognition.
The council last night asked
the State General Assembly to
recognize the special census as
a basis for determining the city's
share of various State revenues.
With the city's steady growth
in mind. the council also asked
the Legislature to allocate State
aid to schools on the basis of
current enrollmentS each year,
rather than on figures from the
previous year.
The council followed up it's
recent approval of the two new
bond issues with a statement
last night calling both issues
necessary for the good of the
CITY," The vote on the resolution
was to l, with Charles E. Kel-
logg voting against and w. Ray
mond Taylor abstaining. Charles
Seymour was not present.
Financial Facts Presented.
The statement was accompa-
MED by a financial fact sheet,
drawn up by Grant Hilliker,
head of the tax study commit
tee. and approved by the city
manager.
Using a projected population
figure and assuming the school
bond issue is approved, the fact
sheet showed the citys per ca
piA bonded debt rising from
Sl4O.44 on July l of this year
to $276.36 on the same date next
year. Part of the increase would
result from the inclusion for the
first time of $4,000 street and
storm sewer issue passed last
year.
The per capita figure would
decrease in 1855 to $26O.31.
Debt service payments would
rise from $66.150 this year to
$131,725 next year and fall to
$129,875 in 1855.
Reassessment Not a Factor.
The estimates do not take
into account a rise in real prop
erty assessed value resulting
from the reassessment being
made this year.
Outstanding debt in the three
years would go from SLIP mil
lion to 1928 million to 1921
million in 1855. At the same
time, the legal debt limit would
rise from $2.95 million to $3.17
million to 1888 million in 1855.
The council also heard former
Councilman Samuel E. Nc
Crary's request that it ask the
school board to publish imme-
diately the superintendent rec
commended school operating
budget for next year. The SUI
perintendent gave the board his
recommendations last Thursday.
The council voted to transmit
Mr.. McCrary's request to the
school board without comment,
but it also asked the board
when the approved budget will
be available.

Plea toAdd Two
Nearby Judges
Faces Delay
Virginia Assembly
Committees Told
Of Urgent Need
By Alex R. Preston
Star Stoff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 9.-Pleas to
relieve "a critical condition in
the administration of justice"
by authorizing two additional
circuit judges in Northern Vir-
ginia were being studied today
by two committees of the Gen.
eral Assembly.
There was possibility, how
ever, that the Legislature. called
on to authorize about six addi-
tional judges throughout the
State, may deny all requests and
launch a study of the whole
judicial setup for action two
years from now.
The Courts of Justice Commit
tees of the House and Senate
held a joint hearing yesterday
on legislation to give the 35th
and 10th judicial circuits each
a third judge. The 35th is made
up of Arlington alone. while the
10th embraces Fairfax. Alexan-
dria, Falls Church and Prince
William County.
Mutual Support.
It was Thomas w. Phillips.
presenting the Arlington case.
who described the situation as
critical. Both he and spokes-
men for the adjoining 18th cir
cult made somewhat of a mu-
tually supporting argument for
the others cause. That is be-
cause the attorneys Of one cir
cult do much of their business
before the courts of the adjoin-
ing jurisdictions.
The fact that Arlington bor-
ders the 10th largest city in the
Nation Washington contributes
to it's court load, Mr.. Phillips
maintained. He presented fig
ures showing that. in Richmond.
there is one judge for each 10000
populati in Norfolk, there is
one for each $4,000 inhabitants.
while in Arlington there is one
for every 1880 persons.
Richmond has six judges OF
courts of record, Norfolk has five
and Arlington, two.
Population Cited.
Hardee Chambliss of Fairfax
said the 10th circuit excluding
the City of Alexandria. had a
population of 128,704 according
to the 1850 census, but only two
judges. The reason he excluded
Alexandria, he said is that there
are two courts of record in that
city.
Mr.. ChambliSs cited land use
survey made by Homer Hoyt.
economic analyst, which placed
the estimated population Of
Fairfax County alone, as of last
| May, at $4,000.
There is every reason to be-
lieve our rate of growth will
continue" he said.
| Mr.. Phillips, in presenting the
Arlington case, said the judges
are so overworked that "as Of
now, case which are on our
docket for the present term can
not possibly be set for trial be-
fore October or November"
Sees Blacker Future.
"a population, whether it be
large or small" Mr.. Phillips
said. lis entitled to an orderly
administration of justice"
I Former State Senator Frank
L. Ball. ST., warned that unless
we get relief at this session Of
the Legislature, we'll be back
here two years from now with
a much blacker position.
Others who presented argyll
ment were Senator Charles r.
Fenwick of Arlington and Will
liam Chadwick, president of the
Arlington Bar Association.
The cause of the 10th Circuit
was espoused by former State
Senator Andrew w. Clarke Of
Fairfax, Municipal Judge Will
liam P. Finley of Falls Church
and Chairman G. Wallace Carper
of the Fairfax Board of Super
viSorS.

Prince Georges
Bill Would Cut
Inventory Tax
Extends Advantage
Other Counties
Won in 1853
By Gene Goodwin
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. "a bill
to give Prince Georges County
merchants the same inventory
tax advantage enjoyed in most
other Maryland counties was to
be introduced in the State Leg
islature today.
The bills Prince Georges
County sponsors - Delegates
Perry o. Wilkinson. Democrat,
and j. Frank Lillard, jr., Re-
publican-said it would bring a
40 per cent reduction in the 2
per cent tax merchants of their
county now pay each year on
their inventory stocks.
The same two delegates spon-
sored a bill for the same purpose
in the 1858 Legislature but it got
lost in a Senate committee in
the Assembly's hectic closing
days. Ironically. a general State
wide bill. which reduced the in
ventory tax in Montgomery,
Frederick. Anne Arundel, CAL
vert and several other Maryland
counties. was passed last year
and was signed into law by the
Governor.
Nursery School Bill.
Another Prince Georges dele
gate. Harry E. Taylor, jr.. Re-
publican, announced today he
is working on a measure to re-
peal the State Board of Educa-
ton authority to regulate kin
dergartens and nursery schools.
They don't appropriate any
money to establish such schools. p"
Mr.. Taylor said. why should
we let them regulate them?"
He said the fact that the State
Board must approve and set
standards for all kindergartens
and nursery schools. whether
private or public. has hampered
the growth of private kindergar-
tens in Prince Georges. Mr.. Tay-
lor sponsored a bill. passed into
law by the 1853 Legislature,
which made possible the estab-
liShment of tuition kindergar-
tens in his county.
He said many Prince Georges
communities have had difficulty
establishing these kindergartens
because they can't meet State
standards.
Meanwhile, Senator Anders r.
Lofstrand. Republican, Of Mont
gomery County, last night in
PRODUCED a bill to require an
nual inspection of all Maryland
motor vehicles. It also would re-
quire school buses to have an
extra Inspection in August. just
before schools open.
$1.5O Inspection Fee.
The inspection would be made
between May l and July 81 by
private garages or service sta
tons. designated as official in
spection stations by the Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles.
Motorists would pay $3.50 in
spection fee.
The District and Virginia now
require periodical auto inspec-
ton.
Delegate Kathryn Lawlor, Re-
publican. of Montgomery. pro-
posed a bill in the House at the
same time that would increase
the minimum age for chauffeur's
licenses from Is to 18. Her bill is
aimed particularly at teen-agers
who are hired during their sum-
mer vacations to drive day camp
buses.
