only an Scent property tax

comb told the Virginia Citizens

last night.

Explains Budget Increase
Robert B. Walker, director of
surveys for the Fairfax school
system. also addressed the meet
ing. He said an estimated en-
rollment increase of about $500
pupils, the opening of Ill new
clasSrooms and the need for
higher teacher pay to attract
new teachers are the main rea-
sons for a proposed increase Of
about SIS million in the rec
commended school budget.
The school board proposal that
teacher salaries be increased by
up to $500 annually IN the COM
ing year was attacked by Mr..
Holcomb
Citing the Federal pay scale
for teachers. Mr. Holcomb said
AT a minimum a Federal en-
ploye must work l9 per cent
more days than the teachers.
The proposed teacher scale is
actually approximately 20 per
cent higher than the Federal
pay scale"
Proposes 100000 Cut
Mr. Holcomb proposed raising
the minimum and maximum
500 in each of the next three
years. thus cutting 100000 from
the proposed 1867 budget.

|right-of-way officials and Assis-
tant Attorney General Joseph D
Buscher met yesterday with
members of the chamber to try
to iron out the difficulties.
At issue is the price of land
for the road re-widening that
is being demanded by business
property owners abutting it.
The roads commission con-
tends it should get the property
at residential land values because
when the abutting properties
were rezoned to commercial the
land needed for the right-of-way
was kept in a residential classi-
f1cation.
Mr.. Buscher said that local
real estate men, however. have
appraised the property at So to
SIS a square foot, the same as
the commercially zoned land back
from the reserved right-of-way.
The roads commission, If it
paid the commercial price for
the residential land, would be
establishing a precedent that
would cost the State millions Of
dollars, Mr.. Buscher said.
MIR. Buscher said the State is
willing to get the land con-
demned under the old law which
would make the project too
costly.
