Hearing Set
On Budget for
Fairfax Schools
Toxpuyers' Reaction
To Be Sought at
Wednesday Session

The Fairfax County School
Board will conduct a public
hearing at 8 pm. Wednesday at
the Fairfax High School to see
how taxpayers feel about the
record $93 million school budget
that has been proposed for the
1856 fiscal year.
The total budget represents an
increase of SIT million over last
year. 1t could result in a tax rate
increase Of 80 to 40 cents, de-
pending on the surplus left at
the end of the current budget
year.
Wednesdays hearing is not
the required budget hearing
which must be held later by the
Board of County Supervisors. but
is being held by the school board
to help 1t decide how big q
budget to present to the super
visors.
School Board Divided.
Already the School Board Is
known to be divided over the
budget with at least three Of
the seven members beliep9hg the
current proposal is TOD high.
The School Board has been
asked by the supervisorsntO SUBJ
NIT a budget proposal by
March 9.
New teachers and an increase
in the teachers salary scale ac-
count for $631, ,492 of the total
budget increase. The budget
provides for 1877 teachers more
than the 926 employed in the
current year. School officials say
this will be required by an
anticipated student membership
of 1900 next year-an increase
of about 5000 over the current
year.
Teachers Salaries.
The teachers salary scale pro-
vided in the proposed budget
ranges from $4,000 to 5000 in
II steps-an increase of $100
in each step of the present scale.
Teachers had asked increases Of
5000 and $500, and school off,
cials expect some sentiment at
the hearing in favor Of higher
salaries.
To give 5000 increases in the
scale, school officials estimate,
would add $124.00 to the budget.
Most controversial item in the
budget is the proposed employ
ment of seven entertaining
teachers for assignment to each
Of the ceunty's high schools. The
addition of 18 positions to the
supervisory staff also has brought
criticism from several school
board members who think the
budget is too high.
These positions include six
helping teachers in reading, six
helping teachers in speech. one,
lip reading instructor, one re-
helping teacher in art, one new
helping teacher in music, an adj
ditional psychologist, one visit
ing teacher and a supervisor Of
teaching materials.
It is expected that II ele-
mentary schools and one high
school will open for the first
time in September, and addi-
tions at IL schools will be ready
at the same time. BY the middle
of next session another six new
elementary schools and one new
high school are expected to open.

purpose. Two Of the plans for
additions to the existing city
hall, and the other two plans
are for completely new city

OF a new city hall would cost
more than 81 million.

Mr.. Bendheim's proposal be-

might be interpreted as favor

Prince Street plan that failed

Bill 10 Give Towns
Speed Limit Powers
Revived by House
sy . star s.aff eorespondeni.


ANNAPOLIS, Jan. l2.-Legis-
lation to give Maryland cities
and towns power to set speed
limits on their own roads has
been brought back to life here
by Delegate Perry o. Wilkinson,
Democrat, Of Prince Georges
County.
Mr.. Wilkinson yesterday per-
suaded the House Of Delegates
to reverse a Monday night vote
and override Gov. McKeldin's
veto Of the speed-limit bill.
Goes to Senate.
The vetoed bill now goes to the
Senate. If three-fiftts Of the
Senator's vote for 1t, the measure
becomes law despite the Cover
nor's veto.
Meanwhile, Senator Philip H.
Goodman, Democrat. of Balti-
more City has drafted new bill
which he says will remove some
of the objections to the vetoed
measure and at the same time
accomplish the purposes sought
by those contending that rnu-
inequalities should be granted
wider latitude in the regulation
Of speed.
While the present bill, ifit is
enacted over the veto, would
allow municipalities to set speed
limits on any Of their roads not
in the State system, Mr.. Gpod-
mans measure would make the
local speed limits subject to ap-
proval of the State Roads Com
mission. That. he feels. would
make it impossible for some
towns to set UP speed traps as
revenue producers.
Speed limits now are set by
the State and none can be lower
than 25 miles per hour Except
in parks) or higher than SIS miles
per hour.
Would Check Fee Increase.
In the Senate meanwhile,
Senator Fredes.ck C. Malkus, jr.,
Democrat. of Dorchester intro
duced the two bills he had
promised to stop the higher
motor vehicle registration fees
scheduled to take effect in
Maryland this spring.
One of the bills would post
pone the higher fees for one
year. The second would cancel
them altogether. The Senator
said he prefers to pass the latter.
but will be happy with either.
Under the 12-year roads pro-
gram, license tags for passenger
cars are to go up this spring
from SIS and $23 to $40 and
$50. with truck tags increasing
at about the same ratio.
Mr.. Malkus said today he
doesn't believe the State Roads
Commission needs the additional
revenue.
