The budget is highlighted by
a request to spend $44 million on
the city school system during the
1888 fiscal year, allowing for
an increase in teaching staff
to provide one instructor for
every 80 pupils.
Also, the budget proposed to
spend 1922 million on highways,
$4.6 million on water works and
So million on sanitary sewers.
A total of $47.4 million was re-
quested to finance city construc-
ton in the fourth year of the
Districts Public Works program.
This would bring spending under
the l0-year, S305 million prog
ram to $l67 million-$4 million
more than was originally
planned for the four-year Pc
Rod.
District Budget Officer Walter
L. Fowler pointed out, however,
that as a result Of price in
creases the spending has bought
less construction for the city
than expected.

who take on State capital i'm
provement projects pay the pre-
vailing wage for the area, which
in virtually all cases would be
union scales.
The management side fired
the first volley here yesterday
with the introduction of the
so-called 'right-to-work" bill.
Sponsors are Senators James
Weinroth, Democrat of Cecil
County, and Clifford Friend, Re-
publican of Garrett County.
This bill. defeated here in the
last two sessions. would have the
effect of outlawing union shop
labor contracts in Maryland.
The union shop contract, which
requires an employe to join the
union within 80 days after en-
ployment. is the strongest con-
tract available to organized labor
since the Federal Taft-Hartley
law banned the closed shop con-
tract. which made union men,
bership a condition of employ
ment.
Wedge Seen
Delegate Sickles. Prince Geor-
ges Democrat, who is regarded
as one of labor's spokesman in
the Legislature. said the Vein
roth Friend bill is "antiunion
security legislation. which may
be used as a wedge to defeat
legislation seeking legitimate
gains for the working man."
Mr.. Sickles said it is unfortu-
nate that Congress does not
repeal Section lab of the Taft
Hartley law. That is the section
permitting the existence of the
right-to-work laws that have
been passed in Virginia and Is
other States.
The labor lawyer said his pre-
Ivailing wage bill will be baSically
the same as the measure passed
by the Legislature in 1850 but
later declared unconstitutional
because of q provision exempt
ing three Western Maryland
counties that already had local
prevailing wage laws.
Six-Member Commission
He said his bill would create
a six-member commission to de-
termine the prevailing wage
scales for the various trades.
The commission would be COM
posed of LABOR representatives,
the State Attorney General, the
State school superintendent, the
chief engineer of the State and
a member of the State Roads
Commission.
The labor people here also are
expected to put in a wage-and-
hour bill this session similar to
the one defeated two years ago,
which would have required Mary
land firms to pay minimum of
IS cents an hour on a 40-hour
week.
The battle-ground in this strug-
gle is not confined to the Marv-

Arlington and Fairfax
To Get Sewer Funds
80 Localities
In State Picked
For U. S. Grants

RICHMOND, Jan. II (Spe-
ciaD Fairfax and Arlington
Counties today, were among SO
Virginia localities tentatively
selected by the State Water
Control Board to receive Fed.
eral grants for sewerage con-
struction.
The grants are the first in
Virginia under the Blatnick bill,
which was enacted by Congress
at its last session.
| The water boards action is
subject to approval by the
United States Public Health
Service.
/ If distribution of the avail
able money is made to the 38
localities. the board said, each
will receive about 80 per cent
OF the funds it had requested.
Grants for Fairfax
The grants tentatively ap-
proved for Fairfax County are
for a relief sewer along Holmes
Run and for secondary treat
ment facilities at Little Hunting
Creek and Dogue Creek.
The county had also asked for
S250.OOO for new treatment
plant at the new Central In
telligence Agency building at
Langley. A Fairfax official said
this project had been placed at
the bottom of the priority list
because construction will not be
required for a year or two.
Fairfax County had money for
all these projects in a $40 mil
lion bond issue. and will still be
able to go ahead with the CHA
plant. The Federal grants, how
ever, Will allow the county TO
use unexpended bond money for
sewer extensions elsewhere.
Fairfax would get about $780,
000-30 per cent of the total
asked for the three projects
tentatively approved.
Cost of Projects
The total cost of providing
secondary treatment at the
Dogue Greek is 1899 900 and the
county had asked $124,066 in
Federal funds.
The Little Hunting Creek
Project will cost S368,70 and
the county had asked for $114,-
666. The Holmes Run trunk line
will cost $669. 203 and the request
was for $211 1863 in Federal aid.
/ Fairfax Public Works Direc-
tor Edward Kipp quoted A. S.
PaeSsler. executive secretary of
the water board, as saying be-
cause of the large number of
projects for which funds have
been requested the total amount
of the requests could not be APP
proved. If some of the jurisdic-
lions decide not to go through
with the projects because of
the lower amounts approved,
Fairfax may get more money.
Arlington Asked S25O,OOO
I Arlington had applied for
S250,000 for general sewerage
work. The funds were to be
used to supplement a 81 million
bond issue approved by the
voters in November. 1855.
Under the 80 per cent figure,
Arlington would get $4,000.
The ALLEGATIONS account for the
full $1,027 .450 available for dis
tribution in Virginia this year.
The board said the selection
was not final and was subject to
further checking to make sure
the 38 meet all requirements.
Applications given tentative
approval also included Dumfries

Woodbridge Sanitary District,
both in Prince William County

A Tip for Adults
From Teen-Agers
BY JACK JONAS

The youngsters around here
live in a world apart from
their elders.
While the adults argue
about who's going to build the
bridges and roads and what's
going to be done about Mary
land and Virginia people who
use the Districts services but
don't pay District taxes, their
teen-agerS are giving them an
example of how to work to-
gether to get something done.
Peanuts for Polio is a one
day campaign put on by teen
ayers. 1t is strictly a District
affair. But when the cam
paign officials tabled up their
list of volunteers, they found
nearly a third are from nearby
Maryland and Virginia.
While the campaign was
being planned, someone sug-
gested it might be more effec-
tive if those from various high
schools competed with one
another. The majority vetoed
that idea. Let's work together,
they said.
Pupils from a nearby Vir-
ginia high school felt so
strongly against the COMPETE
ton angle that they specifi-
cally asked to be paired with
District youngsters.
They'll be selling peanuts
here Saturday and showing
their elders what can be done
when people put their heads
together.
