Budget Cutting
Meeting Set

The Alexandria City Council
will begin meeting next weel
to try and balance its budget by
cutting costs rather than rails
ing taxes
The proposed $8.314,31s
budget for 1866 fails to bal
ance by s470,000.
A citizens tax advisory COM
mission has suggested that the
deficit be absorbed by a 2 pei
cent sales tax or by increasing
the present SITS real estate
levy by 70 cents.
However. informed city Off
Gals feel the possibility of any
large tax jump is remote.
Elimination Is Possibility
Instead, the Council is ex-
pected to pare the $4,000 fig
ure. or perhaps eliminate it en-
tirely. by cost cuts on some
items and transfers of other
items to bond issue.
The Council already has a
head start. A 100000 fund to
liquidate last years deficit has
already been whitfield down to
about $43,000.
The governing body is ex-
pected to cast a cold eye on:
l. A contingency reserve fund

said he Lad been informed that
day by the Department OF
Health, Education and Welfare
that the 5000, 900 could be made
available Immediately.
Mr.. Broyhill said:
Under these circumstances. il
would appear that Arlington
County would want to take ad-
vantage of this offer. Particu-
larily in view of the fact that, il
Arlington turns it down. it will
/ go to another community with
kindergartens."
Mr.. Broyhill also said new
school construction ALLEGATIONS
amounting to $530,906 for Fair
fax and $156, 900 for Falls Church
are now available.
Lower Increase Urged
Earlier, Ashton Jones pre-
sented a report from the Tax
Study Committee of the Airing
ton Chamber of Commerce rec
ommending that the tax increase
be held to 20 cents.
Mr.. Jones said the proposed
74-cent increase sis far out of
line with the nattern of the
past" The report added that:
"We know of no change in
conditions by which it can be
justified. The demands for
Government service and the
ability and willingness of our
people to pay taxes couldn't have
altered to this extent in one
year. Nor is it likely that either
or both of these factors could
have been miscalculated to this
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-29

! extent in prior years by you OF
| your predecessors"
| Only four other persons aired
their views during the hearing
in Stratford Junior High School.
All spoke as private citizens. AL
but one were critical of the sug-
gested increase. Here are some
of their comments:
Charles E. Scofield, 6420 Lee
highway-"I do not think the
kindergarten (program) should
be put in this year. do think
"a cents increase is exorbitant. "
George E. Lee, SOIL North
REIMBURSEMENT street, am
definitely against the matter of
kindergartens. I think this is an
individual problem with the
parents. I am against the IA
cent increase. Actually. we might
| tax the people out of the coun-
ty."
Robert E. Reynolds, $500
North Sixteenth street (refer-
ring to the idea that residents
will leave Arlington because of
a tax increaSe) think that
kind of thing is ridiculous. I
have a house assessed at $4,000.
, MY tax bill will go I'D S37. l
don't think $37 is going to break
me or anyone else in the
county"
Col. William E. Reese, 1924
Vacation lane-"I came to Arl-
ington about IS years ago. I
moved here to get away from
the Districts high taxes. I will
be retiring soon, and if the tax
rate climbs I may be forced to
move"

If Arlington's proposed kinder
garten program is established.
the Federal Government will pay
the construction bills for needed
classrooms, according to Repre-
sentative Broyhill. Republican,
of the 10th district.
This was revealed by School
Supt T. Edward Rutter last
night at a hearing on next years
county and school budgets. The
meeting drew less than 80 resi-
dents.
1t was also announced at the
hearing that officials had just
learned that the 74-cent tax rate
increase called for by the COM
bined budgets can be reduced
by at least 10 cents.
Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell
school board chairman. said the
reduction will be possible because
additional Federal entitlement
payments amounting to about
$4,000 for maintenance and
operation costs will be received.
100000 For Classrooms
Mr.. Rutter's statement was
that 100000 is available from
the Government for kinder
garten classroom construction.
This amount would pay for
30 rooms, which would provide
classroom space for 1900 chill
dren-900 in the mornings and
900 in the afternoons.

ment by the seven candidates de-

ParkIand Bond
Issue Voted

Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
ers yesterday voted to speed up
stream valley parkland acquisi-
ton in the suburban Maryla
area with a $1.2 million bond
issue.
The move was in line with
advice of Secretary-Treasurer
Jesse F. Nicholson against wait
ing for Federal appropriations
under the Capper-Cramton Act.
There's no time like the pres
ent to purchase this land before
the price goes up" Mr.. Nicholson
said.
Congress Blocks Funds
Commissioner Donald E. Gin
gerry said land goes up in value
while the commission is waiting
for Federal funds. Then these
proposed appropriations get
knocked out of Congress year
after year"
The commissioners agreed the
bond issue would not mean
abandonment of a desire to
participate in future Capper-
Cramton appropriations, but
merely an attempt to purchase
park lands before values go be-
yond range of the agency's
ability to pay for them.
Part of the issue will be used
to match Federal funds when
appropriated.
MIR. Nicholson said 81 million
will be devoted for park pur-
chases in Montgomery County
and 100000 in Prince Georges.
the difference resulting from the
higher borrowing limit in Mont
gomery.
Approve Budget
The commissioners approved a
$2.5 million budget for the fiscal
year beginning Sunday.
It will include funds for the
addition of five employees in the
advanced planning section.
Added to the budget was $4,000
to finance engineering work on
the Little Falls Branch Parkway
In Montgomery County's Ken
wood area. Funds for additional
maintenance ersonnel and
equipment items in Montgomery
totaling $4,000 were stricken.
In the Prince Georges part Of
the budget. the commissioners
sliced $4,000 for a shelter house
at Green Meadows Recreation
Center in Sligo Creek Park and
$4,000 proposed for the Suitland

FILA Loans Finance
Water Development

OVER $500 MONTANA farm families
have made use of Soil and Water Con-
servation Loans since the start of this
| type of loan programs in 1887 These
loans are made through the Farmers
Home Administer alton, the lending agen-
cy for the Department of Agriculture
More than 10000 acres of land have
been brought under irrigation. In addi-
ton about $50 farmers and ranchers
have used these loans to develop farm
stead water supplies
Loans can be made either to indi-
viduals or to small groups of farmers
and ranchers. Purposes for which loans
can be made include irrigation develop
ment, drainage, development of
source of farmstead water supply, de-
veloping irrigated pastures, levelling
and for purchasing pumps and other ir-
rIgation equipment.
These loans are made from funds
supplied by private lenders and insured
by the government or from funds APP
prOpriated by Congress- Individuals can
borrow up to $4,000 and loans to as
sociations have a ceiling of $3.50, 1000.
These loans cannot be used to replace
short term credit if it is available but
are set up for those that need longer
term capital. Maximum repayment for
individuals is 20 years and for associa-
tons is 40 years.

If our assumptions are correct, and

it will cost us 5,178.24 to operate this

Now, let's take a look at the profit

we can expect. Here again we have
to make assumptions on what the yield
will be and what prices we will receive
for this yield. Under good manage
ment we should be able to get tons

Feeding Program
important Now

The feeding program for the
brood eve flock is very important
at this time of the year, accord
ing to John Moore, County Agri-
cultural Agent. The 60 six weeks
period previous to larnbing is a
critical time in. sheep production
cycle. Brood ewes should be receiv-
ing / lb. to 2 lb. of grain daily,
during this period, plus good le-
gumes hay, salt and mineral mix
ture. Suggested grain mixture,
would be 5 parts corn, 3 parts
oats, 2 parts wheat bran, 1 part
oil meal, by weight.
Feeding an adequate ration at
this season of the year will pre-
vent pregnancy disease. This dis
ease occurs because not enough
sugar from the feed required
reaches the liver to ignite the body
fat. Some molasses feed sprinkled
on the grain during the last month
before lambing will encourage
ewes to eat. Exercise and clean
water are very important.
Precautions at this time of the
year to the eve flock will mean
stronger lambs and more milk to
produce more pounds and prof
ifs.
