Willard Spurs Two Budgets
AsMochines Grind Out Figures

| meeting of the City Council
Monday night.
Budget No. l will be based on
$7,006,435 anticipated revenue
next year with no tax increase,
But city department heads have
asked for a total of $8,310,970. So
Budget No. 2 will be based on
higher taxes to meet the mount
ing cost of maintaining existing
city services, according to MI
Willard.
The budgets have to be pre-
sented to the council by May 10
at the latest. under the City
Charter. But the attitude of fis-
cal officials is almost noncha-
liant. The machines haven't
missed a beat yet.

manager and-later-the amount

All this is automatically
printed on forms, which facili-
tate examination of the figures
and quicker adjustments of re-
quests to fit the total budget.
Besides having knack for

pletely insensible to criticism.
Mr.. Willard was castigated at
the Monday meeting for passing
the buck on knotty budget prob
lens to the council. instead of
simply coming in with bal
anced budget. The city manager
said he would rather tell council
men about such problems early
than have them come up later
as surprise.
Meanwhile, the machines tick

Fairfax Federation
Would Raise Total Of

The Fairfax County Fedora
ton of Civic Associations last
night urged the County Board
of Supervisors to appropriate
enough money for IS more teach
ers. in addition to the ISL addi-
tional teachers provided for in
the proposed county budget for
1954-5.
The teacher increase was pro-
posed to bring an improved pupil
teacher ratio into the county
school system.
A public hearing on the budget
will be held at 10 am. Monday
in the Fairfax Court House.
The Federation also asked the
Fairfax School Board to study
the possibility of shifting main
tenance of school property tc
the county's Department of Pub
lie Works.
In moves questioning Fairfax
water companies capital struc-
ture as a basis for establishing

questioned capital structure.
The meeting was held in the

; Ddiriies Urge
Milk Price Cut;
Surp|usCited
1-Cent Reduction
Suggested at
Virginia Hearing

Three Washington area dair-
les today urged the Virginia Milk
Commission to reduce wholesale
and retail milk prices in this
area.
Representatives of Chestnut
Farms-Chevy Chase, Alexandria
Dairy and Thompson Dairy told
the commission at the outset of
a hearing in Alexandria this
area currently enjoys more than
an adequate supply of milk
which should justify lower prices.
R. H. Rawlins. Thompson pro-
duction manager, specifically
urged a reduction of / cent per
quart in the price of retail milk,
and a cut of As cents per hum
dredweight in the price of fluid
wholesale milk.
Mr.. Rawlins cited recent milk
price reductions in two dozen
other cities.
I-Cent Cut Urged.
1T is quite apparent that in
order to bring the local Class l
price in line with other fluid
milk market declines" said Mr..
Rawlins, 1.-The present price will
have to be reduced by at least
one cent per quart"
Glass milk is that sold for
bottling as Grade A milk.
Mr.. Rawlins said the price re-
duction would reduce the pro-
ducers incentive to turn out more
milk and give the consumers
added incentive to use more
milk. He declared the price re-
ductlon may we'll be the answer
to the supply-demand problem.
Amount Unspecified.
Maurice Dawson of Chestnut
Chevy Chase urged a re-
duction without specifying any
amount. He declared, however,
that any cut in producer prices
should be at the rate of % cents
or As cents per hundredweight,
and that retail prices should be
adjusted at the rate of half
cent per quart for each %. cents
per hundredweight in the pro-
Queer prices.
Mr.. Dawson said that accord
ing to the February report of the
Agriculture Department, pro-
ducer prices had dropped in 48
milk marketing areas from one
cent to $3.50 per hundredweight.
M. H. Burchell, president of
Alexandria Dairy, also urged a
price reduction without naming
any amount. He said this area,
at least temporarily, was in a
period of milk surplus.
Others Later.
Spokesman for other diaries
and representatives from the
Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association were to
be heard later.
The milk commission fixes the
producer and retail price of milk
sold in the nearby Virginia area.
This also controls the price of
milk sold by Washington diaries
because they operate in. North
ern Virginia and because they
buy milk from the producers as
ISOLATION.
The current retail prices are
% cents for milk bought in
stores and 24l2 for home deliv-
cred milk. The current producer
price is $3.50 per hundredWeight
for 3.5 butterfat milk.

SanitaryGroup0 Offers
New Water Plan for
Camp Springs Area

Residents of the water hungry
Camp Springs section of Prince
Georges County had hopes today
that they soon would be able to
throw away their divining rods
and chlorine.
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission Yesterday
came UP with a new plan which
could bring piped water to Camp
Springs from far away Patuxent
River by the end of 1855.
The commission emphasized
at a public hearing, however,
that it merely has the new
scheme under Amusement. Final
decision on the project and two
other big water and sewer line
extensions in the Lanham area
is expected soon.
NotCI
The Camp Springs area, which
now includes over 600 homes
along Branch avenue, has been
begging for water lines ever since
1T became part of the sanitary
district in l947.
There isn't enough under
ground water in that section.
Wells often run dry. Heavy clay
soil condition keeps surface
water from soaking into the
. ground and causes pollution.
Elmer Padgett said some resi-
dents Get so desperate trying to
find water under their land that
they resort to divining rods.
/ "One fellow down our way is
making small fortune charging
home owners $40 to hunt for
water with a peach tree divin-
ing rod" Mr.. Padgett declared.
| A way to put the dowser out
of business in Camp Springs was
suggested by Commission Coun-
sci Arthur c. Keefer and Chief
Engineer Harry B. Shaw.
$4,000 Cost.
Mr.. Shaw said a new survey
of the area shows it now would
cost S782,000 to pipe water to
Camp Springs. An earlier survey
in September. 1852, had resulted
in a cost estimate of $685. 900.
New houses and higher costs for
water facilities account for the
increase. the engineer said.
| Mr.. Keefer said the commits
sion doesn't have the money and
it can't borrow any more with
out authority from the Legis-
lature.
He suggested, however, that
the commission authorize the
project now, allowing the engi-
neering preliminaries. When the
next Legislature meets in jan
uary. the commission could seek
authority to sell bonds for the
Camp Springs extension.
| County Commissioner Daniel
A. Abbott. who lives in Camp
Springs, acted as chief spokes-
man for the 20 area leaders at
tending the hearing. A real eS-
tate man and builder, Mr.. Alb
bott said lack of water has ham,

ton.

Falls Church Board
Weighs New Election
To Get School Bonds

The Falls Church School Board
may ask for a new bond issue
election to finance its construc-
ton program, instead of await
ing the outcome of a court suit
challenging the 100000 bond
issue approved on March 3.
John A. johnson, board chair
man, said last night, that, IF
we get a legal opinion that this
bond issue will be tied up in
litigation for as much as six
months. then I believe we should
go ahead and have a new cleo
ton"
That's what they (the plain
tiffs) want, anyway" he added
The suit charges the March
referendum should be thrown
out because of alleged irregular
tiles in voting. City Attorney
William Baskin said this week
that, contrary to early eXpecta-
ton, the suit will probably be
heard in Fairfax Court. This
means that the plaintiffs coulo
appeal an unfavorable decision
to a higher court. resulting in
further delay.
Federal Funds Availa BILE.
In an effort to get the stymied
building program under way, the
board will try to start work with
$123.000 in Federal funds it has
recently received. 1t has called
a special meeting with architects
next Thursday to consider the
plan.
The Federal money was given
to supplement local funds in
building an addition to the
Mount Daniel School. The
board must decide to begin the
addition according to the Gov
ernment-approved plans. al
though it cannot complete the
project until it's own bond money
is available. or else construct a
self-contained unit with the
$123,000.
In the latter case the altered
plans would have to be resub-
mitted for Federal approval.
The board agreed it must get
the program started soon if
buildings are to be ready for use
by the fall of 1855.
Richard Saintsing said ne feels
that the board should no every
thing it can to carry out it's pro-
gram as planned.
ut is my firm conviction" he
said, that with this suit, the
first step has been taken toward
placing in jeopardy the school
program as envisioned.
Chairman Johnson reminded
the board it has been authorized
by the City Council to spend up
to $4,000 to get architects
started on working plans.
Legal Until Upset.
ut is our duty to advance our
program for the good of the Falls
Church school system" he said
This is a legally passed bond
issue until this challenge is sue
cessful."
The board also announced the
first of its public town meet
ings" to explain school policy
and curricula for s pm. on May
3 in the Madison School.
