for a resident owning q $15,-
900 house. The rate Is $3.75 for
each 500 Of assessed valuation.
(The assessed value in Fairfax
runs about 80 per cent Of mar
ket value.)
The new rate was approved
by a 4-to-3 vote. Voting for it
we're Mrs. Anne wilkins. Rich
ard p. Ovenshine, James Keith
and Thomas Gray. Chairman
Stuart DeBell, william Moss
and A. Claiborne Leigh said the
Ascent increase was too much.
Originally. a $3.50 rate had
been proposed to finance a
budget totaling s34.6 million.
To get the rate down to $3.75
the board cut about SIS million
from the budget.
Bond Financing Possible
However. there is a possibility
that most Of the items cut out
will be financed through bond
issues, which would spread
their costs over 80 years in
stead Of requiring tax money
this year.
About Sis million Of the cut
in the general county budget
represented capital outlay
items, the major ones being a
central library. police station
and park land acquisition. The
Supervisors have asked County
Executive Carlton C. Massey to
work out details Of o bond issue
which would include most of
these items. The issue probably
will be submitted to voters in
q referendum in November.
The supervisors cut $4,000
from the school budget.
Supt. w. T. Woodson said,
however. that only $4,000 of
the cut would Affect actually
spending because the other
$598,00O would be taken from
bond funds. Instead of using
current tax funds, Mr.. Wood
son said the school board win
use bonds to pay for 1855, 900
worth Of furniture and equip
ment, 100000 in site improve
ments, 100000 for alterations
to old buildings and $4,000
for inspectors for new building
jobs.

To absorb the remainder of
the budget reduction, school
officials said they win have to

teachers, three teachers for

compared to the present scale
Of $4,000 to $4,000.
The budget provides a ga
per cent salary increase across
the board for other county
employees. Originally a 5 per
cent increase had been prop
osed.
The board made q 8 per cent
reduction yesterday in budgets
for most county ofhces. Mr..
Massey said he believed the re-
duction could be absorbed but
he said that it may result in
some minor decrease in serv-
ices In some functions.
Police Chief William Durrer
said the 8 per cent cut in his
budget will mean he can hire
rs instead of 20 new officers
next year, and will eliminate
two extra dog wardens he
planned to hire.
Plea Against Cuts Lost
A majority Of the board over
rode q plea by Mrs. wilkins
against further cuts over those
made in previous budget ses-
sions. The board went into
Yesterdays session with the
proposed $3.50 cut back to $3.S5.
"If we cut the budget further
we will cut services we have
struggled for years to get.
Everyone on this board is here
because his predecessor was re-
luctant to provide services, To
cut any more is q backward
STEP" Mrs wilkins said.
Mr.. Moss said the board was
responsible for the economic
stability Of the county" He
pointed out that Arlington did
not raise taxes this year, and
predicted that business and in
|dustry will shun Fairfax Coun-
ty If property taxes get out Of
line with other communities.
Some supervisors wanted to
make heavier cuts in the school
budget but a majority were dis
suaded when Mr.. Woodson said
1t would mean cutting the pro-
posed pay scale and increasing
the pupil-teacher ration in ele-
Imentary schools.

She was to fly to Los Angeles
today.
Mr.. Flynn's life had q story
book beginning in the Aus
tralian island state of Tas-
mania and the plot thickened
as the years passed.
His latest real-life drama
took place in Cuba where Flynn
claimed he was wounded while
fighting with the forces Of Fidel
Castro. His wound was played
down by the rebels as was the
extent Of his activities. Mr..
Flynn, however. played 1t to
the hilt and wrote a series Of
articles about his Cuban adj
ventures.
Mr.. Flynn always played to
his public. He said he had
made 81 million as a swash-
buckling actor and he enjoyed
spending it.
Il have a great talent for
spending" he said. THE pub
lie has always expected me TO
be a playboy. and a decent
chap never lets his public
down."
His spending sprees took him
to cafes and nightclubs where
the evening often ended with
Mr.. Flynn swinging his fists
instead of a sword. He got into
