Re-ussessment
Yearly Slated
By Alexandra

An annual real estate reassess-
Vent program is being planned
in Alexandria to replace the
present method of reassessing
every four years.
City Manager Ira F. Willard
said the new program will cost
an additional $4,000 during the
next fiscal year, but the city
would realize $4,000 more in
taxes during the first year of
the program.
Mr.. Willard said the major
purpose of the annual program
is to keep taxable property val
ues based on current market
conditions.
Under the old method. in
creased property values were not
reflected in tax bills until re-
assessments were made at the
end of four years.
The last general re-assessment
in Alexandria was in 1854. An
other would not be due under the
old method until 1858.
Mr.. Willard said the City
Council has approved inclusion
of additional funds in the 1856
81 budget to start the annual
program. A special appropria-
ton of $3,210 has been approved
to hire two more property ap-
praisers for the remainder of
the current fiscal year.

to show up in Richmond also
lis the oldest. He is Archie (for
Archilaus) Williams, SO, of

week ahead of the convention,
he says, Just to make sure I'd
get here"
I'm the oldest man in the
history of Virginia ever elected

Mr.. Williams said. Speaking of

Planners to Get Support
On Funds for Park Lond

Chairman Harland Bartholo-
NEW angrily charged yesterday
that the National Capital Plan
ming Commission has been made
"a whipping boy" and denied
it has ever delayed approval OF
the zeckendorf plan for rede-
veloping Southwest Washington
The question of whether there
has been any unnecessary delay
in clearing the complex program
got a thorough airing by the
commission yesterday.
Out of the session came hope
but no aSsurance-that the
commission will be able to vote
final approval a month from
now.
The question of delay was
raised by a letter from the Dis
trict Redevelopment Land Agen-
cy Board, read by John A. Re-
mon. RIA chairman and a COM
mission member.
The letter said the RIA was
impressed with delays" 1t said
it had appeared last fall that
the planning commission would
be able to approve and send the
plan to the District Commission
erS for formal adoption by jan
uary. The RIA directors asked
the commission to firmly direct
its staff to have all the plans
documents ready for action by
March Is.
Specifications Remain
Actually the planners already
have approved all the major
elements of the plan. The only
document still to be approved is

RICHMOND, Mar. 2.-Whei
does a Federal employe become
q ''policy-making Official" nj
long a clerk" or "employe"?
The answer to this question
may decide whether Govern
ment workers on the Arlington
Fairfax and Falls Church schoo
boards can continue to serve.
introduced Today
A joint resolution declaring i
to be the State policy that ONLY
clerks and other employees" o.
the Federal Government, with
out executive authority, ma,
serve on local school boards wa!
passed by the House and sent tc
the Senate today. School boarc
service by Federal worker;
should be limited to those ir
minor positions" the propose
says.
The measure was prepared by
the House Education Committee
and carried the name of Chair
man Harry B. Davis as chief pa
iron.
The resolution is an outgrowth
of the committees action on the
bill of Delegate John Boatwright
of Buckingham to deny all Fed
eral employees the right to serve
on school boards or hold any
other State or local Offices in
Virginia. The Boatwright bill
died in an eight-to-eight tie vote
of the committee Wednesday.
Federal, State Policies Differ
Members of the committee had
expressed concern that perhaps
Federal policy making officials
were serving on school boards,
particularly in Northern Virginia
The underlying thought among
legislators is that the Federal
Government is committed to a
policy of indignation of whites
and Negroes in public schools
while Virginia has embarked on
a course designed to preserve
segregation.
A resolution, unlike a bill, does
not have the force of law. How
ever, it does have persuasive
powers when dealing with mat
tiers of policy. 1t also might be
used as an arguing point in case
any suits are brought to chal-
lenge the right of Federal en-
ployes to serve on school boards.
The resolution apparently
would be designed to be per-
suasive on Commemorative At
torneys and the courts.
The issue of whether Federal
in important positions
can hold School Board Office has
been before Virginia courts, but
the dispute was not settled.
Phrase Underlined
John Locke Green. Arlington
attorney, sought to GUST Govern
nent workers on the Arlington
Board in 1854. Although
The courts refused to order them
removed, the phrase CLERKS and
employees" was left underlined.
In an earlier case that year.
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy of
Circuit Court said in a
decision that policy-making Fed
eral officials should not be per-
nitted to serve on local bodies.
He said that a great many en-
oloyes might we'll be exempted
from the ban.

.ural Research Administration.
