The East Cleveland police lost
what might have proved an un-
usual "prisoner" this week. 1t was
a nice fat opossum that wandered
in from somewhere to the drive
way at the Hodgesons, 1888 Tay-
lor I'd. When the police arrived,
Mister Opossum had vanished. He
just did not want to be questioned,
and what would police do with an
opposum, anyway?
Principals and teachers are
more than pleased with the record
attendances that marked the Open
House evenings that have been
held in the schools during the
past week or so. The response is
most encouraging. During Open
House at Shaw High School more
, than 400 parents signed up for
PTA membership.
Voters desiring a copy OF the
League of Women Voters SCORE
BOARD may get one at the East
Cleveland Public Library, 14101
Euclid ave., the YMCA, 1881 Lee
. rd., or the YWCA, 1865 Euclid
ave. Residents in the Rozelle, Su-
perior and St. Philomena School
districts will receive one at their
door, thanks to the Girl Scouts of
these three schools.
OF the dozens of volunteers for
. the Community Chest home call
ing, as far as can be learned, only
one was asked for Identification
before being handed the donation.
The young man quickly met the
requirements, and as promptly re-
ceived the donation.

CITY REJECTS BIDS
ON SCHOOL BONDS

SOUTH NORFOLK. Va.
(P.-The City Council re-
jected the only bid received
yesterday on $520.000 in
school bonds. This leaves
the city's Negro school
improvement program in
doubt.
Mayor N. j. Babb and the
three other councilmen
agreed that a net interest
rate of 4.99 per cent bid on
the bonds was too high.
The STABILITY of school
bonds had been questioned
in the light of recent school
segregation measures en-
acted by the Virginia Legis-
lature. There were indica-
ticns that the single bid,
which was unusually high,
reflected the uncertainty of
the school situation in Vir-
ginia.

A business license tax geared
to a rate of 20 cents per $10C
gross receipts for retail mer-
chants will be advertised foI
public hearing in Fairfax County
next month.
The Board of County Super
visors yesterday agreed on the
rate schedule for advertising
purposes but indicated by tsneil
comments that changes are
likely to be made before f1nal
action is taken.
The retail merchants category
is the major one covered by che
proposed new business license
tax ordinance. Rates in other
categories Of the schedule APP
proved for advertising are:
| Wholesale merchants. 10 cents
per 500 gross receipts: profess
Isions. 80 cents: contractors, 20
cents: personal services, s.
cents; business services. Sc
cents; repair services. 40 cents;
amusement, so cents; manufac-
turers, IS cents.
This was the middle ground
rate schedule suggested by the
Bureau of Public Administra-
ton of the University of Vir-
GINA. which drafted the new
business tax ordinance at the
county's request. Two other
schedules, one higher and one
lower, also were advanced for
the county choice.
Income Anticipated
County Executive c. C. Mas
sey reminded the supervisors
they had anticipated adoption OF
a business tax ordinance by in
cluding $150.000 revenue from
such a source. in the current
budget. This sum represents the
amount required from half a
years collection for the 1861
budget. Mr.. Massey estimated
the rate to be advertised would
bring in 100000 in half a year
The lowest proposed rate, he
said. would produce slightly over
100000 for six months.
II feel the 20-cent rate is toe
high. but it looks as if our hands
are tied because of the income
we anticipated in the budget.
said Mrs. Ann Wilkins.
Opposed by DeBell
II oppose the whole thing.
said Supervisor Stuart DeBell
Business in Fairfax is of,
There's been a big decline this
year."
"Just because we advertise it
doesn't mean we have to adopt
it," commented Supervisor Clay

John Ferguson, supervisor OF
assessments, suggested the coun-
ty drop its old merchants capital
tax when the new business tax
is adopted. He also recon-
mended that quarterly payments
be allowed for persons billed
500 or more.
