in the heavy tasks which they have
assumed" Mr.. Rollins declared.
In his brief remarks Governor
Boggs said that lit is my explicit
desire to work and cooperate with
the members of the General AS
sembly on sound basis of recog-
milton of the fact that the legisla-
tive and executive branches of our
government are jointly responsible
for actions and achievements in the
public interest and for the promo
tion and Improvement of the gen.
eral welfare.
Likewise, / propose to cooperate
and work closely with all depart
ments and agencies of our state
government as well as with private
organizations and individuals. ]
trust in turn that | may have their
cooperation and assistance as we
strive toward the common goal OF
making Delaware a better place in
which to live. We must see that
there are continuing opportunities
for the fulfillment of the hopes and
aspirations of all our citizens"
The chief executive also called
Or educational opportunities
which must be of the best and we
must continue to seek even further
improvements in our existing broad
program for the health and welfare
of all people of Delaware.
Fortunately, the future looks
bright" Governor Boggs continued,
'and holds great promise for new
opportunities and further growth.
Certainly there will be new prob
lens and new challenges. l am
confident that these will be met
and solved as they arise and that
as a result we will have continued
progress in 1857 and the years to
follow.
"But sound progress and growth
require far-sighted planning based
on knowledge and proper evalua-
tion of facts. Consequently, one of
my major detectives will be a de-
termination of our future potential
followed by sound planning for
that future.
'It is my opinion that the well
fare and prosperity of all our peo-
pie depend upon sound, long range
planning which recognizes the
need for a dynamic economy in a
state such as ours which has a
growing population, extensive in
dustrial development, scientific pro-
gress and social change.
Delaware has the resources, the
people, the potential, the ability
and the will to maintain the proud
position it earned many, many
years ago as "the First State" 1t
is the obligation of those of this
generation to see that that position
is never relinquished."
Finally Governor Boggs called
on the guidance of Divine Provi-
dence for what he termed "recogni-
tion of the opportunities as well as
the responsibilities which are ours,
that in Delaware this generation
will not be found wanting"
The 2S7th United States Army

Letters Ask
School Bond
Referendum

Falls Church city Council
men have received another APP
peal for a referendum on q
$750,O0O school bond proposal
slated to come lin for . vote
IN Councils meeting tomorrow
night
E. F. Becker. president Of the
Falls Church Council of Parent
Teacher Associations, has sent
letters to each councilman, ask
ing that the proposal be pre-
sented to city voters in the
November general election.
Mr.. Becker pointed out in
his letters that opposition to
the referendum lis based on
the belief that (a) the issuance
'of the bonds would bring the
total bond indebtedness Of the
city uncomfortably close to the
debt limit; or (b) that the
servicing Of this additional
debt would require a sharp rise
in the tax rate"
He said the argument be-
hind the first objection to the
bond issue is mot at all clear .
Debt limit figures cited "are
not at all convincing. since
they apparently do not take
INTO account the addition of
new properties to the tax rolls
or the retirement Of indebted
ness since the last computation
was made" he declared.
AS for a possible tax rate
rise, Mr.. Becker said mo re-
sonable taxpayer expects to re-
ceive improved or additional
facilities without paying the
price in increased taxes"

80 Tax on Utility Bills
Proposed in Foirfox

A consumer public utilities
tax may be suggested for Fair
fax County to finance a pay
as-you-go capital improvements
program.
William Moss, a member of
the County Board of Super
visors, said yesterday he has
such a proposal under study
and may soon submit it to the
other members Of the board.
Mr.. Moss said he estimates
a 3 per cent tax on the electric,
telephone and gas bills of con-
sumers living in Fairfax Coun-
ty would produce about $780,
900 in revenue yearly. The tax
would be collected by the utili-
ty companies and turned over
to the local government.
The additional revenue should
be used for capital outlay pro-
grams. Mr.. Moss said. He sug-
gested that $250,00O might be
used for acquisition of school
sites and parklands and $780,
900 for providing a county

Road Fund Distribution
Mrs. Hoffman said the
Northrop Committee also hopes
to come up with a more euuit-
able basis for distributing State
roads funds. AT present State
law provides that so per cent
OF gasoline tax revenues are
maintained by the State with
Baltimore City getting 80 per
cent and the remaining 20 per
cent being divided among the
counties.
increased mileage, especially
in Metropolitan Area counties,
has made the formula inequit-
able.
The State fiscal specialist
also pointed out to the county
oflcials that many counties
were losing funds they rightly
should receive from the State
income tax because taxpayers
enormously show on their tax
forms that they reside in an
incorporated area when actu-
ally they have only a post Of
flee address there. Municipal
tiles get pne-half Of the funds
distributed to the counties for
taxpayers residing within their
borders.
