Zee Questioned
lin Fairfax Bill

A member of the Fairfax
Board Of County Supervisors
yesterday questioned payment
Of $3.50 to the chairman Of the
county board of coming APP
peals for services in a court
case involving the county's
Freehill coming amendment.
The $3.50 for Verlin w. Smith
was contained in a 1896 bill
presented by the law firm
headed by State Senator Armi-
stead L. Boothe of Alexandria.
The bill said the fee for Mr..
Smith. a real estate man, was
for 9l2 days work in prepar-
ing the case and attending the
court hearing. The case, heard
two weeks ago. was a suit
filed by several land owners to
throw out the amendment
which sets minimum lot sizes
Of Q acres in the western two
thirds of the county. The
decision Is pending.
Supervisor Stuart DeBell said
he did not think it was ethical
; to pay a county official for par
ticipating in such a case. He
said Mr.. Smith may be called
on later to make a decision, as
a member Of the Zoning APP
peals Board, on questions in
volving the amendment.
The board voted to refer the
bill to the Commemorative at
torney for a recommendation
The total bill was for $5,446
for expenses of the trial and
expert witnesses and $4,000 for
20 days work by the law firm.
Mr.. Boothe said he asked Mr..
Smith to help In the case and
that he rendered Invaluable
assistance" He said Mr.. Smith
had background on coming laws
and reports involved in prepara-
ton of the case and knew
where to get information.
Mr.. Boothe said the charges
for legal fees and expert wit
neSses would have been higher
had it not been for Mr.. Smiths
aid in preparing the case. He
said it would have taken at
least two weeks longer to pre-
pare for trial and would have
required more expert witnesses.

Whitehead Still
In Virginia Race

RICHMOND, July II (R.-
Delegate Robert Whitehead OF
Nelson County, unmoved by
appeals for Democratic Party
solidarity, was still in the race
today for attorney general.
Gov. Stanley and Attorney
General j. Lindsay Almond
jr., the Democratic nominee TO,
Governor. yesterday called on
Mr.. Whitehead, the States
leading anti-organization Dem
ocrat, to quit the race in the
face of opposition from the
Republicans.
The Republicans last Sat-
urday nominated H. Livingston
Dillow Of Giles County fol
attorney general.
Mr.. Almond said he was sure
Mr.. Whithead did not want to
cause a rift in the party at a
time when solidarity was most
desirable. He said that State
Senator A. S. Harrison, jr., OF
Lawrenceville "is to all intents
and purposes the nominee OF
the Democratic Party for the
ONCE OF attorney general"
Discounts Choice
Mr.. Whitehead took note Of
Mr.. Almonds statement that
the State Central Committees
Endorsement of Mr.. Harrison
made him the party's nominee
If Senator Harrison is the
nominee to all intents and pur-
poses," Mr.. Whitehead said
then he is the nominee in fact
and in law. But significantly
Mr.. Almond does not say that
He does not say it because it is
not a fact"
The central committee Friday
indorced Mr.. Harrison for the
post of attorney general-ar
action necessary when Howard
c. Gilmer, jr.. of Pulaski, the
unopposed candidate for the
nomination. withdrew. Mr.
Whitehead announced his de-
cision to run minutes after the
Endorsement.
Call for Harmony
"A call for party harmony
has come from several sources
Mr. Whitehead said. "Mr. Al
mond's labored effort to classify
Senator Harrison as our party's
nominee with the clear infer
ence that his party standing is
superior to mine is certainly
not conducive to party unity. >
In addition. one of Mr.
Whitehead's supporters said il
party harmony was now so vita
that perhaps Senator Harrison
could be prevailed upon tc
withdraw.

job Of reassessment which will
involve taking a look at the
value set for tax purposes on
more than 10000 parcels Of
property.
The Tax Code says to APP
praise farms at fair market
value" said Mr.. Ferguson.
Should the basis be the agri-
cultural productivity of farms
or what they will bring on the
market for development and
investment purposes?"
Zoning Plan Involved
Entering into the decision
will be the Freehill coming
amendment which has set up
minimum lot sizes Of two acres
in the western two-thirds Of
the county. The amendment
Is now being challenged in the
courts by several holders Of
large tracts in the rural areas.
If the amendment is upheld
II is possible many tracts in
the western section may be
over-assessed now because they
have been valued by the assess
ors on the basis of potential
subdivision.
Mr.. Ferguson also said there
is a problem in deciding what
O farm is. as it five acres.
10 acres, 20 acres or more?" he
asked. Many residents own
and farm small-acreages while
their main income is from some
other Job.
The supervisors deferred &C.
ton on answering the ques-
tons. The first work on re-
assessment will be in the sub
urban sections.
First Since 1850
Mr.. Ferguson said he ex-
pected IS to 20 per cent of
the assessments to be changed.
The last general reassessment
was in 1850 and since then it
has been impossible to review
each parcel yearly. he said.
He said the reassessment would
be carried out by magisterial
districts with the first work
being done in the northern and
eastern sections where coming
is relatively stabilized.
Although many assessments
will go up, Mr.. Ferguson said
he felt that everyone should
realize the possibility that the
increase in assessed values may
not be as much as anticipated.
Such factors as location and
relocation of highways, as we'll
as changes in general economy,
would have a direct bearing on
values of real estate"
The supervisors discussed the
possibility of increasing the
ratio of assessment to market
value from 80 per cent to so
per cent. No action was taken,
but supervisors indicated they
