Falls Church Hits
D. {. Payroll Plan

The Districts proposed tax on
non-residents' earnings has
drawn protest from the Falls
Church City Council.
Prompted by a letter from the
Alexandria City Council, which
last week threatened retaliation
if the District tax is enacted, the
Falls Church councilmen voted
last night to oppose the tax
measure.
District officials are studying a
proposal that the earnings tax be
levied against all who work in
the District regardless of where
they reside.
In another action, the Council
rejected a major apartment re-
zoning which was sought by
Irving Berman, owner of an g.
acre tract on the south side of
West Broad street near West
street.
More than score of residents
from the area near the proposed
rezoning objected to the pro-
posal on the grounds that traffic
hazards would be created because
of. inadequate road plans, and
property values would be depre-
ciated in the area.
Another rezoning request which
would have placed a tract of
nearly 2 acres opposite the Oak
Street School in the transitional
zone. enabling commercial devel-
opment, was allowed to die when
the Council declined to advertise
an ordinance on the request.

Fund 10 Study Need
0fHospitaI Approved

The Fairfax County Health
Council last night approved COL
lection of $4,000 to cover costs
of a proposed survey of the
county's hospital needs.
The council referred to its
hospital subcommittee, under
Donald L. Wilkins, consideration
of a nonprof1t association to
raise hospital building funds.
The subcommittee report, ac-
cepted by the council, declared
a tentative hospital site would
be within one mile of Annandale,
preferably near Route 236.
Mr.. Wilkins said 100 out of
1875 answers from doctors in
Northern Virginia favored con-
struction of a Fairfax hospital.
He also pointed out that more
than half the bed occupancy in
Arlington Hospital was by pa
tients from Fairfax County.
Ronald B. Almack of the Vir-
ginia Department of Health told
the council Fairfax County
hospital would have a high pri-
ority for Federal funds, based
on the county's population and
shortage of available hospital
space. He urged the council to
get public support.
Mr.. Almack pointed out, how
ever, that hospitals in Arlington,
Alexandria and the District
probably would continue to get
many Fairfax patients, even
after construction of a Fairfax
hospital.
