School Bond
OF SIS Million
in County
Foirfox Boord to Set
Final Figure at
Mid-ApriI Meeting
By Mary Lou Werner

10Y -
A new school construction
bond issue Of from $40 to $25
million is about to be proposed
in Fairfax County, it was dis
closed at q meeting Of the school
board today.
School Board Member Robert
F. Davis offered a motion re-
questing a $25 million bond issue
referendum. His motion was
tabled for consideration next
month. however, after several
board members protested that
they wsnted more specific infor-
nation on how many new schools
will be needed.
Special Meeting Set.
Robert w. Walker, director of
surveys and information. de-
clared that his statistics show
close to $25 million will be
needed for school construction
in the next five years. The
School Board asked him to COM
pile a building program by mid
April when a special School
Board meeting will be held to
decide the exact amount of the
new bond issue.
Mr.. Davis reminded the board
that the last of the old $11 mil
lion school construction bond
issue will be used up by next
September /. When all build
ings from the old bond issue are
complete. the county will have a
total of 1875 classrooms which
school officials say Is sufficient
for 30.780 pupils.
I'VE already know we can ex-
pect 81, 200 pupils next fall" said
Mr.. Davis. THAT will give us
500 more pupils than we will
have room for. We need a new
bond issue now so we can con-
tinue building before we get too
far behind"
Mr.. Davis said that according
to figures supplied by Mr..
Walker, the county can expect
47,500 pupils by 1960-an in
crease in enrolment of approxi-
mately so per cent over this year.
He said he reached his figure of
$25 million by calculating it
would cost $l.400 per pupil for
new construction.
sounds Too High"
I'm not ready to>vote on this
today. said Fred w. Robinson.
rs sounds too high especially
in face OF the big budget we
have proposed forstlext year. We
could very well defeat a bond
issue BY asking for one that is
too high" !"
Robert w. Darr protested that
he had not received copies of
the information Mr.. Davis pre-
sented, and declared that he
would not be ready to vote for
a bond issue resolution until he
had time to study enrolment
and construction cost figures.
Mr.. Davis said he was con-
fldent residents Of the county
were ready to get out and pass
this bond issue now."
Mr.. Davis proposes that the
referendum be called by direct
petition of the Board of County
Supervisors to the Circuit Court.
In the past, bond issue referen-
dums have been called by cir
culation of petitions among the
voters. Mr.. Davis said he did
not think the voters should have
to go to the trouble of circula-
ting petitions. He declared that
the School Board knows another
bond issue is needed, and should
not hesitate to call on the Board
OF County Supervisors to request
the referendum directly to the
court.

Bill 10 Ask Tax
On Tobacco for
Montgomery
Authority Sought
By County Council,
Lee DiscIoses
BY Gene Goodwin
Sfar Stuff cerrasnondanf

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. Mont
gomery County legislators plan
to introduce a bill in this Mary
land General Assembly author
izing the Montgomery County
Council to tax tobacco products.
That decision was reached last
night at a meeting Of the six
Montgomery House members
with the new County Manager.
M. L. Reese, and County Attor-
ney Charles M. Irelan.
Delegate Blair Lee III, Chair
man Of the 5-to-1 Democratic
delegation. said the Council had
asked for the tobacco tax au-
tkorization.
The Democratic members Of
the delegation agreed to such au-
thorization, providing the State
does not decide to start taxing
cigarettes. Mr.. Lee added.
The delegation decided. there
fore, to introduce the bill, and
then hold it up if it appears in
the closing days of this 90-day
session that the Legislature is
about to pass a State cigarette
levy.
McKeldin Opposed.
A 2-cent-a-pack cigarette tax
Is proposed in two bills before
the Assembly. However. Gov.
McKeldin has come out against
State cigarette taxes, and the
idea has drawn opposition from
the Southern Maryland Tobacco
country and Baltimore City,
which, along with Baltimore
County, has a 3-cent-a-pack
local cigarette tax.
Under the bill discussed by
the delegates last night, the
Montgomery Council would de-
eide the rate cigarettes, cigars
and other tobacco should be
taxed.
Delegate Warren Browning,
Democrat, said he believes the
bill should specify that no
county tax on cigarettes exceed
the 2-cent-a-pack tax levied in
the District. It would be too
easy for Montgomery residents
to buy their cigarettes down.
town while they were at work If
they were priced higher in the
county, he argued.
Some Oppose Limitation.
Other delegates contended the
County Council should be trust
ed to see the folly of pushing
Montgomery cigarette prices to
a point where county merchants
would be at q competitive dis
advantage.
Gilbert Guide, the lone Re-
publican in the Montgomery del
egatlon, opposed the move for a
local tobacco tax. He is one Of
those pushing for a State Gig
arctic tax as an alternative to
the l-cent increase in the sales
tax proposed by Gov. McKeldin.
The request for a local to-
bacco levy authorization appar-
emily reflects the concern of the
new Democratic County Council
about prospects of higher real
estate taxes. The Star disclosed
on Sunday that the present
county real estate tax of $1.98
per $100 of assessed valuation
might have to be increased as
much as 80 cents unless the
manager and Council make
drastic cuts in departmental re-
quests.
