Precinct Registrar Setup
Survives Foirfox Test

A plan to abolish Fairfax
County's SO precinct registrars
failed to win approval of the
Board of County Supervisors
yesterday, but it was agreed to
see if some of the gravy" could
be squeezed out of the jobs.
Abolition of the precinct reg
istrars was recommended by the
County Electoral Board. Chair
man Elmer Duncan wrote the
supervisors that 1852 registra-
tons out of a total of 10.646 were
made in the central registrars
Office during 1855. Yet each pre-
cinct registrar gets IS cents for
every new registration in their
precincts whether they are
signed up by the precinct regis
trar or in the central Office at
the courthouse.
Get Csc a Ballot
In addition, precinct regis
trars get IS cents for every alb
sentee ballot issued to voters in
their precinct, even though all
the work involved is handled by
the central Office Also, a fee of
SIS is paid to the precinct regis
trars every day that they have
an official sitting.
Mr.. Duncan said the electoral
board felt it would be more eco
nomical to have deputies from
the central Registrars Office
visit different parts of the
county at specified times than to
continue the use of precinct reg
istrars.
Supervisor Anne Wilkins said
she thought precinct registrars
were necessary in county as
large as Fairfax.
Il think it would be a serious
mistake-an injustice to the citi-
Zens of the county to do away
with them" said Mrs. wilkins

precinct registrars served a use

tons that are made in the CEN

A resolution, offered by Gen.
Ovenshine and approved unani-

llators to seek a change in the
law so it won't be necessary to

resolution also asks the legisla-

do anything to eliminate the
precinct registrars.

The supervisors decided to ask
the electoral board for a report

machines in some of the larger
districts.
A series of resolutions were
adopted by the supervisors sug-
costing the following legislative
actions at the current General
Assembly:

2. Approval of bill introduced
by Delegate Omer Hirst, that

5. Basing State school appro-
.priations on current average
daily attendance, rather, than
that of a previous year.
