Hancock Asks Steps
To Curb Soaring
County School Costs

Steps TO protect property
owners from the burden of fur
ther rapid increases In school
costs In Montgomery County
was urged yesterday by Alex K.
Hancock, county director Of
finance.
The warning that school costs
cannot continue to rise in
definitely came In q letter Of
transmittal accompanying the
annual financial report for the
fiscal year ended last June 80.
Mr.. Hancock called for ac-
ton after noting the school tax
had nearly doubled from 50
cents per 500 to $1.59 per 500
Of assessed valuation in the last
10 years. At the same time. the
tax rate for all other functions
has been cut practically in half
from 81 cents to "a cents. he said.
'It should be obvious that
this trend cannot be permitted
to continue much longer" Mr..
Hancock said.
Statistical tables included as
part of the report indicate
that the cost per child for
operation and debt service on
schools has risen from $146.71
to $287.14 in 10 years.
MIR. Hancock said that at
present the council is in an ''im-
possible position" in that the
council is criticized sharply if it
cuts school budget requests or If
it gives the schools everything
they ask and the tax rate rises.
On this score. he asserted,
some States are meeting the
rising school cost problem by
establishing maximum school
tax rates which can be raised
only by referendum. Other
possible solutions included re-
quiring the elected school board
to establish its own tax rate.

Conference Planned
On Public Purchase
OF Wafer Company

Alexandria and Fairfax County
officials plan to confer about
possible joint purchase of the
Alexandria Water Co. and its
subsidiary, the Virginia Water
Co., private water firms serving
all Of Alexandra and portions Of
Fairfax County.
The Alexandria Council last
night authorized City Manager
Ira Willard to discuss joint
action with County Executive
G. C.. Massey.
Mr.. Massey, who attended the
Alexandria Council session. ex-
planned that the Fairfax Board
of County Supervisors also was
interested in the possibility Of
public water supplies for the
county. Fairfax currently is
served by a number of private
water firms. including Alexan-
dria and Virginia.
Water Survey Under Way.
Fairfax County currently has
engineers and flnanciers con-
ducting survey of the county's
water resources.
Mr.. Willard advised the Alex
andria Council that the Alexan-
dria Water Co. has assets of $10,-
247.217. including a plant valued
at $8.479.664. The annual net
income is $224,185 said MIR. VIII

Alexandria Vice Mayor Leroy
Bendheim, sponsor of the moves
ment to study municipal owner
ship of the water company, said
the city could expect net in
come of around 100000 If 1t
operated the water company. be-
cause the city would not have to
pay as many taxes as private
utility.
Juvenile Detention Home.
One way that Fairfax and
Alexandria could combine efforts
to buy the utility is through an
authority. The same two juris-
dictions now are participating in
a Joint sewer program through
the Alexandria Sanitation, Au-
thority.
Two Alexandria councilmen,
Daniel F. O-Flaherty and Frank |
Mann, were appointed to confer |
with representatives of other |
nearby Virginia jurisdictions |
about the proposed construction
of a regional juvenile detention
home. They were appointed at
the request of the Fairfax Board |
of County Supervisors. which re-
gently became alarmed over the
long stays by some juveniles in |
a county police lookup.

The Howard University Choir
under the capable direction OF
Warner Lawson. last night pre-
sented a program which might
be characterized as standard
choral fare. Despite the fact that
most Of the music sung was of
no great depth or permanent
value. it was pleasant to listen to
because the performance was
deft.
The concert opened with a bow
in the direction of the classics in
the shape of two 10th century
works. In these subtle pieces, the
size of the group was against it.
Generally speaking, the many
voiced intricacies of the old poly
phonic masterpieces pose prob
lens of clarity and voice-leading
hard to overcome by a large
choral organization.
Mr.. Lawson was wise to keep
the really long-hair music to a
minimum. This out of the way,
the clear-voiced young men and
women in the choir settled down
to singing with authority and
clean definition.
Most of the program was de-
voted to modern works artfully
written to show off the virtues
and minimize the defects of the
large semiprofesSional chorus.
This sort of music provides an
audience with a fairly constant
stream of pyrotechnics-and a
little goes a long way.

The New Music Quartet first
made its reputation a few years
ago in a repertoire made up
largely or entirely of modern
works 1t soon became apparent
that it was not necessary to
work only this little-mined vein
to attract an audience. since it
was evident that the group was
one of the best in the business.
The players thereupon estab-
lished themselves as first-rate
interpreters not only of contem-
porary music but of the general
quartet repertoire.
Last night at the Library of
Congress the quartet played a
suite by Deems Taylor, in honor
of the composer who recently
has made gift<of a number of
his original manuscripts to the
Library. The performance was
not a matter of noblesse oblige,
as the Taylor piece makes good
listening. 1t is we'll written for
the medium, tuneful, unified in
style, and workmanlike. Deems
Taylor. the populariZer of music
appreciation, may at times use
music somewhat cavalierly for
his purposes. but Deems Taylor
the composer shows a great deal
of respect for his craft.
The name of DitterSdorf is
( known to the present musical
public as a respected contempt
rary of Haydn and Mozart, and
as a word with a winning and
memorable sound. His music al
most never is played, although,
oddly enough. Neutrality-suspicious.
will hear a symphony Of his next
week. His place in the modern
repertoire may be exactly char
acterized as that of a little
known Boccherini.
Last nights Quartet in c"
was a delight. Nimble, graceful,
and urbane, it was played with
a style and polish hard to i'm
prove. Likewise. the Death and
the Maiden" quartet of Schu-
bert had a stunning perform
ance. Its passionate, dramatic
fervor, the intimate variations
on the composers early song
that give the piece it's name, and
the tempestuous finale showed
the New Music Quartet to be as
much at home with music in
the grand manner of the Wen
neSe School as it is with Berg
and Rartok.
