The supervisors can chop the
overall appropriation requested
by the school board, but cannot
tell the school board what spe-
cific items to reduce. If there is
any reduction In the total school
appropriation, the school board
must figure out which items
to cut.
Seek School Cut
Several supervisors frankly
would like to see the school
budget cut. They even have
some support from two school
board members. Fred w. Robin
son and Robert Darr. who voted
against the total school budget
proposal because they thought
some items could be eliminated.
But any large cut in the school
budget Is sure to draw strong
reaction from PTA groups
anxious to see Fairfax teacher
salaries higher this year.
Some items in the supervisors
own budget are likely to emerge
from the hearing battered and
shaky. A $4,000 increase is
proposed for the police depart
ment. This will employ 80 new
men. The chief requested only
20 new employees. Ten Of the adj
ditional men will be necessary to
compensate for the five-day week
that goes into effect July /.
An $4,000 appropriation is
proposed for the establishment
of a full-time recreation depart
ment. Then there is a list Of con-
tributions the county proposes to
make, including s62.600 for the

It looks too good to be true, like
a supercountry club built for De-
troit millionaires in this century.
But it was built by James Madi-
son, ST., the father of the
President. in 1760.
Tradition has it that the gar
dens were laid out by Pierre
L'Enfant. the man who designed
the pattern of Washington's
streets. The gardens were re-
stored when Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam du Pont bought the property
about 1900.
1t is now owned by their
daughter, Mrs. Marion du Point
Scott, former wife of an Orange
County boy who made good in
Hollywood as the hero of West
ems. Randolph Scott.
There are five other places on
the garden tour in the Orange
neighborhood, Willow Grove,
Grelen, Yatton and Little Vat
ton. But we showed on 10 Char
lottesville.
Then we took the road to
Thomas JefferSon's Monticello
and reluctantly passed it by. We
were bound for Morven, owned
by Whitney Stone of the famous
Boston contracting and public
utility firm. Stone g. Webster,
Morvern's gardens are among
the finest in Virginia.

Swimming Pool
Project Denied
In Arlington
Group Had Sought
To Buy Site Next
To Taylor School

A request by the Donaldson
Run Citizens Association to buy
Arlington recreation land for
swimming pool site has been
denied by the County Board.
The citizens group had asked
the board to approve sale of
an 8-acre tract which touches
the Taylor Elementary School
grounds on the northeast side.
The board denied the plea
yesterday by a vote OF 3 to /.
Alvin F. Kimel cast the one
favoring vote and Wesley Cooper
abstained.
About ITS residents where on
hand. including a delegation of
is persons who opposed the sale,
but there was no discussion be-
fore the boards action. The
board also turned down a request
by the association that the mat
ter be continued while the group
was negotiating for privately
owned land.
How They Voted
At its meeting, the board had
voted % on a motion to deny
the request. Mr.. Cooper and Mr..
Kimel voted in favor of the sale
and Robert A. Peck was absent.
At this meeting, a petition
carrying Sc signatures opposing
the sale was presented.
Officials Of the Donaldson Run
Association said $50 families had
indicated they would be inter-
ested in financing a pool.
In other action, the board
approved a use permit for a gas=
oline station at $3.50 Wilson
boulevard. The permit was re-
quested by Tide Water Associ-
ated Oil Co.
Despite the recommendation
by the Zoning and Land Use
Committee that the permit be
turned down. the board granted
the request BY vote of 3 to 2.
Mr.. Cooper and Mrs. Leone
Buchholtz opposed granting the
permit.
Arguments of Opposition
Residents at the meeting OPP
posing the permit pointed out
that there are four gas stations
within three blocks of the site.
and a use permit was granted
recently for a fifth station in
the neighborhood.
Commonwealth Attorney VIII
liam j. Hassan, speaking as a
private citizen who is a resident
of the neighborhood, also urged
the county board to deny the
request. Mr.. HasSan said that
locating another station within
zone Of the longest school zones"
in a mice neighborhood'' Is not
good planning and thinking"
In still other action, Mr..
Kimel won the boards approval
to ask the Chamber of Com
merce for its views on the adj
visibility Of adopting an ordi-
nance that would prohibit stores
from taxing close-out sales.
