Aid to Nearby Schools
TotoIs $7.6 Million

Suburban Maryland and Viz
GINA communities have re-
ceived ALLEGATIONS totalin g
$7,666,587 to aid in classroom
construction for the six-month
period ending october IS. the
Department of Health. Educa-
ton and Welfare announced
today.
OF this amount. the two
nearby Maryland counties re-
ceived the larger share
$3,909,987. Fairfax County,
Va, however, received the most
of all the localities in either
State with an ALLEGATION OF
$2,494,800.
School officials in all of the
Jurisdictions had been notified
previously of the ALLEGATIONS
and already had started con-
struction projects in most in
stances.
The money is part of $31.7
million in ALLEGATIONS through
out the Nation to help provide
classroom facilities in commu-
mites where Federal activities
have caused school overcrowd-
ing.
The SIS million for the
Washington suburban area was
broken down this way:
Montgomery County, $2,l25,-
200; Prince Georges County,
$1,784,787.
Fairfax County. as indicated
above, $2,494,800: Alexandria,
Va, $3.50, 900; Arlington Coun-
ty. Va, $583,800, and Falls
Church. Va. $4,000.
School officials emphasized
in all areas that the money
does not represent a new
"windfall," but were previously
allocated by HEW.
In Alexandria, the money will
be used toward construction
of the William Ramsey Ele.
mentary School. a 20-room
structure serving the area west
of Shirley highway. The money
will pay nearly all of the total
cost of 1863, 900.
Fairfax had distributed it:
funds as follows: Franconis

Langley Forest Elementary
$3.50, 900; Parklawn Elementary

be shifted back to supplement
bond money if the latter is
approved.
In Arlington, the Federal aid
bill will be used to supplement
approximately $2.5 million in
bond money for construction Of
a new Junior high school, Gum
ston, in the south side of the
county.
The sale of $2.492.000 in
