|Sointsing to Present
School Bond Petition

The next round in Falls
Church's roundabout school
bond proposal will be held on
Thursday In Faifax Circuit
Court.
Judge Paul +. Brown will
hear q petition from some 1900
city residents who want to
schedule a referendum on q
S750,00O school bond issue.
The hearing win be unusual
In at least two respects:
Instead Of an attorney repre-
senting the school board or the
petitioners. Richard L. Saint
sing, board chairman. viii pre-
sent the petition. Courthouse
officials can't recall any other
similar procedure.
City Attorney Philip Brophy,
who normally represents the
School Board In court matters,
win be on the opposite side.
Council Veto
The court case climaxes sew
eral months Of controversy
which started when the School
Board asked the City Council
to authorize q referendum on
. $750.000 bond issue. The
funds would be used TO expand
George Mason Junior Senior
High and Madison Elementary
Schools.
The Council. It's eye on a
possible increase in taxes 10 pay
on the bonds. rejected the bond
proposal BY q split vote.
Citizens then circulated q pc
tition calling for the circuit
Judge to schedule . referen-
dunn. This was done under a
law that says 10 per cent Of the
qualified voters may petition
the court for q referendum on
q school bond issue.
The petition was presented
TO the School Board. which In
dorsed 1t and stipulated that
the city attorneys present 1t 70
the court.
Economlze ON Attorney
Mr.. Brophy told the School
Board the procedure was not
proper because the city charter
provides only for Council ini-
tiating q bond issue. He said
the citizen petition method can
be used only in counties and In
cities which do not have other
provisions for authorizing
bonds. He said the Falls Church
charter specifically gives the
bond authority to the Council.
