School Emergency
Board to Tackle
Crowding Issue;
Tempos Weighed

The Montgomery County Board
of Education on Tuesday will
reorganize for the 1856 year and
promptly take up an "emer-
gency" school building situation
in the Wheaton Glenmont area.
Mrs. John G. Scharf Of 7428
Hampden lane. Bethesda. vice
chairman Of the board, is sched-
uled to move UP TO chairman.
succeeding Willard G. McGraw
Of Gaithersburg. who served as
board head during 1855.
DR.. Forbes H. Norris, superin-
tendent of schools, said he would
present to the board suggestions
for relieving overcrowding IN the
Glenmont, Weller Road, High
land, Connecticut Avenue Es-
tates and Wheaton Woods School
districts.
sETA O0SAS SSSoA~AAS
Widespread double sessions are
anticipated in these districts
next year unless new classroorns
are built before September.
The 24-room Aspen Hill Ele-|
mentary School was planned to
absorb the overflow from these
schools, but acquisition of a site
for the school at Aspen Hill road
and Georgia avenue has been
snarled in litigation for several
months.
With little prospect the school
can be built in time for the 1856
81 school year, school authorities
have been weighing the POSSIBLE
ity of building additions onto
existing schools in the area.
Tempos Possible
And, DR.. Norris said yesterday,
1--WE haven't thrown out tempo
rary buildings" as an expedientI
TO provide classrooms.
"a He conceded that the area
would be a good place" to ex-
periment with prefabricatedI
buildings. which could be erect
ed before September.
Montgomery County boards
have been cool to proposals that
1t use shortcut construction
methods for school buildings.
But last month several board
members. accompanied by staff
experts. journeyed to Lafayette. |
Ind, to examine q prefabricated
school built in that city.
Since then, features Of its con-
struction have been under in
tense study by the boards
building experts. 4
DR.. Norris pointed out that the
1856 school budget contains
no funds for additions to schools
In the emergency area. However. !
1t is believed that funds could
be made available by transfers
from other ALLEGATIONS.

CountyAsks
U. S. Payment
For Tax Loss

President Eisenhower has beer
requested by the Arlington
County Board to ask Congress
for payments to areas where real
estate taxes are lost because the
land is Federally owned.
In a letter to the President,
the Board said that Federal
ownership of property in Arl-
ington reduces our taxable
wealth by over 40 per cent"
Board members yesterday
unanimously voted to send the
letter, and also decided to ask
for support in the request from
key figures in Congress and from
nearby Jurisdictions.
It was pointed DAT by the
Board that nearly 20 per cent OF
the county's land is Federally
owned and cannot be taxed.
Government installations in
Arlington include the Pentagon,
National Airport. Fort Myer. Ar
lington Cemetery. the Naval Bu-
reau of Yards and Docks. the
Navy Annex, Marine Barracks,
Arlington Hall, and the National
Marine Monument.
The Board said:
"All we ask for is a conserra-
tive formula for a payment in
lieu Of taxes on the land and i'm
provements owned by the Fed
eral Government"
Not including school taxes,
payments would amount to about
$3.5 million, If based on the same
rates paid by private property
owners. using the 1855 apprais-
ais and valuations.
Since the Korean War. the
Federal Government has made
annual contributions to school
construction and operation in
the county. The payments. total
ing several million dollars, were
made to compensate for the i'm
pact" of new Federal employees
who moved to the county because
of the emergency.
