Fairfax Board
Expected toAdd
.75Cents 10 Tax

A 75-cent increase in the Fair
fax County tax rate is expected
to get tentative approval of the
County Board of Supervisors to-
morrow.
But some members of the board
indicated they will try to achieve
more "austerity" in the school
budget proposals before final ac-
ton on raising the property tax
rate from its present level of
$2.70 per 500 of valuation.
School and county budgets as
originally proposed called for q
total of 1892 million and a tax
increase of 95 cents.
The austerity move was voiced
by County Supervisor Richard p.
Ovenshine, a retired Army gen.
eral, during a joint session of
the School Board and Board of
Supervisors at the courthouse

| Gen. Ovenshine won an ad-
mission from School Board
Chairman Robert Davis that the
proposal for school outlays is
not lin the severeSt sense an
austerity budget"
1T is not a luxury budget but
1t is not a real austerity budget"
Mr.. Davis agreed.
The supervisors agreed by a
SlX-to-one vote that $125.0OO in
non-operational expenditures
would be pared from the school
budget. The two items trimmed
out were a $4,000 item planned
for use against debt service re-
quirements in fiscal 1858 and a
$4,000 item the School Board
planned to use in starting a
"pay-as-you-go' capital outlay
fund.
The reduction vote was tied
with a request that the School
Board pay back to the general
county fund. loan of Sl00, 900
advanced for the purchase of

pending approval of bond funds.
Mrs. Anne wilkins, super

to see how effectively it ha,
shifted from an executive secre.

TEN.
The survey was authorized by
the Board of County Supervisors
yesterday.
County Executive c. C. Massey
said the bureau had estimated
it could do the job for SO 900 to
$4,000. He reported that the
university of Pennsylvania would
charge $4,000 to $4,000 and
private consulting firms woulc
cost $4,000 to $4,000.
The survey is expected to take
three to six months to complete
and will concentrate on organi-
cation and methods of the
county executive form of govern
iment adopted by Fairfax County
in 1852.
Sanitation Hearing Set
When the county government
changed. the bureau made a sur
vey recommending procedures to
be followed in the transition
The results of that survey are
still used as a handbook OF
county operations. The idea Of
the new survey is to evaluate
current government operations
to see if they have been nodded

tenn properly.
The proposed ordinance would
bar privies on half-acre lots
permitting them only on individ-
ual lots of one acre and SUBJ
division lots of three acres or
more. 1t also would define septic
tank standards and require Ii
censing and bonding of septic
tank operators.
Everett L. Lommasson, a resi-
dent Of the Masons Neck area,
