He explained that results Of
the study might well be used to
help support any legislation that
might be proposed bearing on
the distribution Of State funds.
He said it also would show the
various communities In Northern
Virginia how they stack up
against each other financially.
Embarrassment Seen.
Herman Fink, member of the
planning commission and vice
mayor of Falls Church, sug-
gested that results of the survey

the amount OF revenue these
jurisdictions receive from State
sources as compared with other
sections of the State also would
be compiled.
