one of Mr.. Sonberg's local build
ing inspectors. Charles c. Bur-
nette, Sc. of Glen Dale. Mr..
Brunette. in an action which he
said may cost him his job, placed
"stop-work" orders on six of the
houses and three foundations at
Mr.. Haines' project on Friday.
Mr.. Burnette. who has been a
building inspector since February
%. 1858, said he had asked Mr..
Sonberg to sign the stop work
orders but he refused.
so l signed the orders myself
and pasted them on the houses
because somebody has to do
something about those houses. "
Mr.. Burnette told The Star. Mr.,
Sonberg could not be reached
for comment.

ent personnel to keep up with
expanded services needed by the
growing population.
In the original budget, only
four new personnel were in
cluded. Last week, however, Mr..
Willard said an unexpected in
crease in surplus funds to be
carried over into fiscal 1867
would enable the city to hire 10
new people, four of them in the
health department which has
had critical shortage of per-
sonnet.
The proposed budget was kept
within current revenues on in
struction of the council, which
told Mr. Willard not to recon-
mend any tax increase. An in
crease over last year was possible
because Of big SURPRISES in the
school and general funds and
increased taxable property values.
The 500 million budget pro-
vides approximately 81 million
for schools with the remainder
for general city operations.

Use of Surplus Houses

Residents of Accokeek in

plan to appear before the County
Commissioners on Tuesday to
protest the installation of what
they call "substandard surplus
Government houses" III their
area.
About Is houses are being put
up at the intersection of Bryans
Point and Pennington roads by
w l.. Haines.
A petition to the commission
ers signed by 1872 Accokeek area
residents, states that "a non
resident builder, having acquired
the land. is now moving in a
large number of second hand
Government surplus buildings to
be used as houses.
Fear Lower Values
"We are advised that construc-
ton of these houses does not
meet the county standards you
have set up for our protection as
to type and quality of founda-
tons, lumber. sewage. water, etc.
Sale of substandard housing
will give the area a bad name,
depress values in our community,
which will prevent further or
derly development and stabiliza-
ton"
Mr. HaineS could not be reach
ed for comment. but his brother.
Poe Haines of Haines Motor Co.
of Cottage City. Md, said that
Chris Sonberg. chief building in
spector for Prince Georges, APP
proved the houses last week.
Il know the houses don't look
: so good when they're hauled in
son a truck, but we Ak them up
with new siding and new roofs
.and redo the inside" Mr.. Haines
said.
: He said his brother had in
stalled some of the same Gov
.ernment houses in Norfolk and
sthat other builders have put
them up in Prince Georges

On Alexandra Budqet

A public hearing on Alexan-
dria's proposed 500 million
budget for fiscal 1867 will be
held tomorrow at 1880 pm. in
the City Council chambers.
The budget represents a ST.
million increase over the current
one but does not carry any i'm
mediate tax increase. However
City Manager Ira F. Willard has
urged the council to consider
a tax increase Jan. /, 1857.
The city's current tax rates
are S275 on real estate and So
on personal property.
Mr.. Willard, who is leaving
Alexandria May l6 to become
city manager of Coral Gables,

how the council can help but

Frontier Anlnes
Proposes New
Air Routes

Washington - Six new routes
were proposed to the Civil Aero
nautics Board last week Tues
day by Frontier Airlines.
The proposed new routes would
extend through nine states, in
Guiding Colorado, Wyoming and
Montana.
Frontier said it has only IS
twin-engine DC-3 airiners and
thus would require permission to
over fly some of the cities on
some flights. To provide this flex-
Utility, it asked permission to pro-
vide as few as two round trips
daily at cities requiring the least
amount of service.
The proposed new routes in
clude:
1. Between Denver and Omaha
by way of McCook, Kearney,
Hastings and Lincoln, Neb.
2. Between Omaha and Scots
bluff, Neb., by way of Lincoln,
Grand Island and North Platte;
and beyond Scottsbluff ID to

AS was emphasized during the
two day debate on the measure,
domestic producers will share In
supplying growth in consumption
only about the initial consump-
ton estimate of 8,350,000 tons
which the Secretary of Agricul-
ture has set for this year.
If the Senate adopted alloca-
ton of SIS per cent of such growth
becomes the law - as most OBJ
servers predicted ii would - the
western beet states would be
permitted to market an estimat-
ed 1,852,401 tons of sugar this
year, assuming the final con-
sumption figure will reach De-
partment of Agriculture esti-
mates.
On the basis of forecasts of
future increases in consumption,
the annual beet sugar quota
would gradually increase to g.
031,171 tons by 1862, when the
Senate-approved version of the
law would expire.
Under present provisions of the
sugar ACT, beet producers are
required to stay within an an
nual marketing limit Of 1,800,000
tons - the quota fixed in 1948
and unchanged since.
Representatives of the area
beet growers groups and of pro-
cessors alike said it would be
impossible to predict what in
creases in beet acreage this would
promise for the Rocky Mountain
area, but they agreed further
acreage cut-backs would soon be
a thing of the past.
The Senate vote came after
considerable praise had been
heaped on the domestic industry
for its increased efficiency.
Beet sugar producers were
particularly commended for hav-
ing actually doubled yields of
sugar per acre within the past
80 years and for being the lead
ing beet sugar producing area in
the world for production of sug-
