Victory
Seen in Fairfa,
$2z Million Bond
Issue on Buhot

The biggest school construc-
tion bond issue that Fairfax
County ever has proposed at one
time is approaching . vote Tues
day without any signs 50 far Of
organized opposition.
The school board. BY petition
Iof 5000 voters, Is seeking $22
million to build new schools dur
ing the next fiye years. Only one
fifth of the issue Is to be sold in
any one year.
Previous school construction
bond issues Of sos million In
1850 and $li million in 1855
stirred bitter controversies,
|Economy-minded rural groups
protested against such huge
expenditures and predicted the
new buildings would never be
filled.
Water Issue 3 Factor
There are several reasons why
school officials believe the new
bond proposal Is enjoying such
smooth sailing. A proposed $50
million water bond issue has
drawn attention away from the
school issue for one thing. Then,
too, the School Boards past pre-
|dictions about school enrolment
have turned out to be pretty
accurate. The old argument
that there won't be enough
children to all up Gil those
schools" Just doesn't carry much
weight anymore.
Despite the apparent popu-
Ilarity of the school program,
school cfficials and civic leaders
have not been sitting back con-
|fidently.
A speakers bureau has been
organized by the School Bond
Issue Co-ordinating Council. OF
which Warren Quenstedt Il
chairman. Volunteers from this
group and Robert B. Walker. di-
rector Of surveys and information
for the School Board, have adj
dressed around I25 public meet
|ings, explaining details Of the
school bond program. Thousands
|of statistical brochures outlining
the county's school needs have
been distributed. e
The $22 million bond issue Is
planned to accommodate nearly
10000 additional students the
county expects within the next
five years.
Expect 47.S00 Students
The present building program.
when completed this spring, will
give the county . student ca
|pacity Of 1850. Already the
number Of students has exceeded
that number by 1000.
BY 1860. the county expects
to have 1880 students. That
isn't just q wild guess, either.
It includes $4,000 youngsters al

cording to o census Just COM

Proposal to Repeal
Gold Mining Profits Tax
Up First in Senate
BY jim HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, Rl-AlaSka'S law
makers resumed work today after
a weekend holiday honoring the
Civil War President whom both
Democrats and Republicans had
claimed, in jocular debate, as
their own.
A growing pile Of major bills
was in sight and the amusing
question discussed Friday, wheth-
er Lincoln was politically a Re-
publican or a Democrat in phil
osophic inclinations, was left be-
hind.
Immediately at hand as one Of
the first orders Of business in the
Senate was a proposal to repeal
the net profits tax on gold mining.
1t is one of several bills intro
duced to help the hard-pressed
mining industry, and Sen. John
Butrovich R-Fairbanks), sponsor,
has argued it is double taxation
because the territory already has
a general net income tax.
The so-called Nest Egg Bill, to
create an Alaska sterilization
fund that could be drawn upon if
the territory suffers economic set
backs, was also expected to come
before the upper branch for final
action today.
In the House, where most of the
action on tax bills has taken
place, another one will be consid-
cred this week by the Ways and
Means Committee. It is the Gen
eral Property Tax Law, which
has been introduced in new form
for the taxing of property outside
cities and school districts, which
have their own property levies
