But the ladies weren't being
unreasonable -although perhaps
they we're showing a magnificent

the craving for bigger and better

Iby a 7-to-2 vote. and was to

I$l2.2 Million Plea
For School Budget
Studied in Fuirfux

The Fairfax County School
Board today is studying a $12.2
million proposed school budget.
with indications that reductions
will be made in the record figure
before it is passed on to the
Board of County Supervisors.
Based on county property eval-
uation figures given the school
administration for tax base by
the County Executives Office,
the proposed budget for 1867
would require a 75-cent increase
lin the tax rate. However,
School Board Chairman Robert
F. Davis said he believes the
estimated tax base is low and
the rate increase needed actu-
ally would be between IS and
40 cents.
The budget was presented to
the School Board yesterday by
Supt. w. T. Wooson. Board
members stressed the proposals
are those of the administration
and subject to change by the
board.
Mr.. Davis said he believes
there will be a compromise on
the administration proposals.
but he said the final figure prob
ably will require some tax in
crease.
The board will meet at 8 pm.
Friday to discuss the budget.
