Eisenhower Hears
Sermon on Power

President Eisenhower took his
family to church yesterday and
heard a sermon on what happens
to power when it is not con-
Secrated to God.
Gen. and Mrs. Eisenhower.
along with Mrs. Gordon Moore,
sister of Mrs. Eisenhower, heard
DR.. Edward L. r. ElSon, pastor
of National Presbyterian Church,
give the Fathers Day sermon.
DR.. Elson, speaking on the
theme, 1.-The Tragedy of I'm
consecrated Power" said the
secret of keeping power - in
politics, the home, church or the
Nation-is to put God in the
center of life"
The minister said SamSon'S
strength disappeared when he
broke away from God. He went
on to say that among the ma
tions of the world today America
is the Samson"
Frequently, DR.. Elson said,
young men enter politics out of
a desire to serve the people but,
sensing power, they become more
concerned with gaining it for
themselves than for their original
dedication to the people.

Alexandra Proposes
1917 Utilities Bills Tax
And Other New Levies
By Mary Lou Werner

A 10 per cent tax on utility
bills and new levies on rental
property, developers and tran
sient accommodations today were
proposed by the Alexandria City
Council to finance a $7.6 million
budget for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /.
The plan represents a pared
down version of the $7.8 million
budget recommended by City
Manager Ira Willard, but it is
well above the no-tax-increase
budget that Mr.. Willard also
had prepared at the councils
direction. The exact figures OF
the councils budget is $7,650,997.
The council, which has been
meeting nightly for the last two
weeks to arrive at a budget
figure before the deadline Sun
day, rejected any increases in
existing taxes, but turned in
stead to new levies to broaden
the municipal tax base.
The public will have an OPP
portunity to express its views
at a special council meeting at
1880 pm. Wednesday. when the
budget is expected to be placed
on first reading.
It is estimated the 10 per cent
utility tax would bring in $425,-
900 in nine months. The eSti-
mate was based on a nine-month
period because the utility COM
panies probably could not ar
range to calculate the tax before
October. The utility tax would
apply to all gas, electric, water
and telephone bills. Homes that
heat with gas or electricity, how
ever, would be billed at a S per
cent rate on those utilities used
for heating.
A utility tax was attempted in
Alexandria three years ago, but
the council rejected it, princi-
pally because of protests from
persons who used gas for heat
ing.
The other new levies proposed
and the amount each would
bring in are:
/. A tax of so cents per 500
gross receipts on rental prop
erty, excluding those owners who
rent four units or less. Antici-
pated revenue, 100000.
2. A tax of 80 cents per 500
constructions work done by
builders and developers, who in
the past have not been covered
by the city's business license tax.
calculated to collect $4,000.
8. A 10 per cent tax on rental
of transient accommodations,
such as hotel rooms and motor
courts, $4,000 revenue.

AIexandriaGets
Court OK for
Sewa!gePIan
State Supreme Court
Books Sonitory Unit
And Foirfox Pact

The Virginia Supreme Court Of
Appeals today upheld consti-
nationality of the Alexandria
Sanitation Authority and Of the
authority's contract to provide
sewer service for parts of Fair
fax County.
The decision sustained every
point of the lower court verdict
by Fairfax Circuit Court Judge
Paul Brown.
sos Million System.
This cleared the way for con-
struction of sos million sew
age disposal system to serve all
of Alexandria and that part of
Fairfax County which cannot be
accommodated at the county's
own disposal plant now ap-
preaching its capacity.
The suit was brought by three
residents of Alexandria and
Fairfax as a test to assure valid
ity of the authority and the
joint contract before sale of
bonds to finance the project.
The Alexandria authority was
the first created under the Vir-
GINA Water and Sewers Author
tiles Act of 1852. and the joint
contract with Fairfax County
also was the first of it's kind
in the State.
Alexandria and Fairfax
decided on the joint sewage
disposal plan because engineers
estimated they could save more
than So million in initial con-
struction allowance and mil
lions more in operation costs
over a period of years.
Costs Are Split.
AleXandria's share of the Joint
project is slightly more than ST
million, and Fairfax is committed
to $3.3 million. The Fairfax
share may be paid in yearly in
stallments, plus service charges
for the amount of sewage
treated, under the joint contract.
The Alexandria authority pro-
poses to issue the full amount
of bonds. James C. Corbalis, jr.,
engineer director, said the bonds
should be advertised within the
next two months now that liti-
cation is settled.
Construction of the system is
expected to take about two years.
The plans provide three large
interceptor sewers to catch sew
age now flowing untreated into
the Potomac River, plus a huge
disposal plant on Hunting Greek.
