FINE JUDGE

MONTGOMERY, Ala. = up =
Robert Bass was brought before
Judge Eugene Loe in City Police
Court on a charge of refusing to
pay a $125 taxi fare. Loe learned
the man was free under, five-year
probation so a conviction, even on
a minor charge, would force him
back to prison.
The taxi driver agreed to drop
the charge if he were paid, Bass
could find only dollar in his poe

Concert

Concert
On Thursday, December 13. the
Music Department presented their
elementary Christmas Concert.
Three hundred students partici-
pated and there was an audience of
approximately four hundred. A to-
tai of $206.55 was taken in with
$192.49 collected from admissions
and $14.O6 made at the refreshment
stand.
Part of the proceeds from the
Christmas Concert will be used to
purchase three monographs for

Bond Issue
At the meeting of the FELTON,
Board of Trustees on Friday, Dec.
21, bids were received for the 1856
building issue in the amount of
$25 900. The bond was awarded to
the Caroline County Bank of
Greensboro, Maryland on low bid
of 3 per cent. This bond issue with
a matching state contribution of
$37 500 increases the total of funds
available for the building program
now in progress to $350,000.
Construction progress has slowed
down, partly because of cold wea-
ther making masonry impossible
and partly because steel necessary
for carrying on the project is not
available. Although this steel was
ordered this past summer it is
anticipated that it will not be de-
livered before the latter part of
next month. The cafeteria and audi
torium will continue to be used
until receipt of the steel permits
continuation of the construction
work without further delays.

Ruling Declined
In NAACP Tilt

RICHMOND. Mar. 6 (R.-
Federal Judge Sterling Hutche-
son today declined to interfere
with orders of a State court
compelling the NAACP to bare
its membership records to a
State legislative investigating
committee.
Judge Hutchinson said the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Colored People
and its Virginia branches have
"a remedy at law in court OF
competent Jurisdiction" and can
not apply to him for relief.
! Richmond Hastings Court
Judge Moscoe Huntley had
granted subpoenas directing the
NAACP to supply the names to
the General Assembly's investi-
gative committee.
According to arguments in
Federal court last week, Judge
Hutcheson's decision to stay out
of the case would not prevent
the NAACP from returning to
State court with new moves to
protect the membership lists.
One of the arguments ad-
vanced by attorneys for two
State investigating committees
was that the NAACP should have
tried to crush the subpoena in
State court before going into
Federal court with the motion
for an Injunction.

Alexandra Increases
Property Tax Rate

sonal property tax rate had been
recommended by City Manager
E. G Heatwole to help finance
a 500 million budget for 1857
50. The additional 10 cents APP
proved last night will bring an
estimate $4,000 extra.
Auto Tax Study Slated
In addition, the council will
consider next Tuesday a SO in
crease in auto licenses which
would yield another $4,000
above Mr.. Heatwole's revenue
estimates.
T. c. Williams, superintendent
OF schools, protested that a $l04,-
600 cut made by Mr.. Heatwole
in the school budget would
seriously cripple" the school
system. He said the cut would
either mean elimination of most
OF the planned salary increases
for teachers or a decrease in the
number of new teachers sched-
iuled to be hired.
Most of the persons who spoke
at the hearing favored an in
crease in taxes rather than cur
failing services.
The council also approved a
$5l7,07l contract with Hechler
Bros, Inc. of Highland Springs,
Va, for rebuilding a l.3-mile
section of Highway / from Nom
roe street to the Arlington
County line. The project will
cost $673.778. of which Alex
andria will pay $168,444, on a
cost-sharing basis with State
and Federal governments. The
project is expected to be started
in April and be completed in
about a year.

County law now permits sale

License Revocation Possible
One of the House bills would

Of illegal Sunday or after-hour
sales or gambling violations: also,
whenever any one or more of his
employees or agents is convicted
Of such violations twice in two

the real estate rate at it's present
level of $2.75 per 500 property

increase is effective as of Janu-

A proposal by Councilman
Frank E. Mann to raise the real
estate rate 20 cents failed by
3-to-2 vote. Mr.. Mann's motion
was supported by Councilman
John TIGER who also made an
unsuccessful bid to raise the real
estate rate 10 cents after Mr..
Mann's motion failed.
Proposes Sales Tax
/ Councilman John Ewald pro-
posed consideration of a sales
tax levy. Recommendations for
a sales tax have been turned
down several times in the past
by council on the basis that
Alexandria would lose business
to Arlington and Fairfax Coun-
ties unless sales tax also was
enforced in those communities.
Mr.. Ewald's proposal to con-
slider the sales tax before final
action on the 1888 budget in
May or June was passed with
only Councilman F. Clinton
Knight dissenting.
Mr.. Mann said he doubted a
sales tax would pass. Council
men also noted the possibility of
"a State sales tax being enacted

eral Assembly.
