Foirfox Faces Tax Boost
Despite Assessment Rise

Increased property assessments
will give Fairfax County a big
boost in tax revenues this year,
but without tax rate increase
1t will not be enough to cover
the $23 million budget proposed
for fiscal 1873.
John w. Ferguson. supervisor
Of assessments has estimated the
1887 property assessment at 1857
million. an increase Of $40 mil
lion over 1856.
At the present tax rate Of 1920
per 500 evaluation. the increased
assessments would give the
county approximately $1.3 mil
lion more in tax revenues than
1855 receipts.
Budget Up $4.5 Million
However, department heads
and County Executive Carlton c,
Massey have figured a good deal
more than the extra $1.3 million
will be needed to finance expand
ing government operations. The
$23 million budget is about $4.5
million more than the current
one.
1t would take 4l-cent increase
In the tax rate to carry the pro-
posed budget. Mr.. Massey esti-
mated. Several supervisors have
indicated they will seek consid-
cradle cuts in budget requests.
The 1857 million tax base is
made UP Of: $500 million in
real estate, $24 million in public
service corporation holdings and
$50 million in personal property
The huge Seven Corners shop
ping center goes on the tax rolls
this year. Mr.. Ferguson esti-
mated the assessment will
amount to about 81 million

NEW FRA IN BAY TRAVEL
Peninsula Bridges
To Open in November
BY the Associated Press

Ferry-riding motorists along
Virginia's bay coastline have q
lot to look forward to in No
vemper.
The waterways that carve the
States eastern shoreline into
three peninsuias will no longer
pose tlme-consuming obstacles
Tor travel
A Northern Neck resident, for
instance, will find 1t a compare
lively easy journey to Norfolk.
BY the shortest route today he
has those 45--minute ferry
crossings Of the Rappahannock
and Hampton Roads to lengthen
his travel time.
But the ferries are going out
Of business.
The Ia mile steel Rappahan-
mock River Bridge and the s.
mile Hampton Roads Bridge
Tunnel system, constructed by
the State at cost approximately
$75 million, are shaping up as
the final links in a new chain Of
water crossings.
Both are set for use in No.
vember. \
Flag Raising Tomorrow
A milestone in the Rappahan-
mock project-the largest bridge
ever built by the State highway
department-will be reached to-
morrow morning.
In traditional bridgelbuilding
ceremonies the wife Of a project
engineer will raise the Stars and
Stripes on the final steel can
tilever section of the mighty
span.
Then a powerful derrick will
hoist the section ITO feet to fill
the last 600-foot gap at mid
stream.
Construction men regard such
ceremonies as ritual. The flag
raising is viewed as a good luck
symbol and is considered a guar
antee of good health and happi-
ness to people travelling the span.
The bouquet-bearing Mrs.
George E. Clayton, wife Of Beth
lehem Steel Co.'s erection de-
partment project manager, will
raise the Tag.
Northern Neck to Benefit
Northern Neck interests-the
businessmen of Lancaster and
Northumberland Counties-feel
that the bridge already repre-
sents good fortune for those on
the north side of the bridge.
Chambers of Commerce in the
Neck region are laying plans to
entice the Middle Peninsula folk
those residents in Middlesex.
Gloucester and Mathews-ac-
cross the river to shop.
Now they must use the Grey's
Point ferry system for this travel.
The tourist trade as well is
expected to flourish in the lower
Northern Neck when the new
bridge offers quick access to the
south and north shores of the
historic region.
The 9.985-foot span was begun
in 1854. 1t will carry a roadway
