tons Subcommittee which he
heads.
Protesting residents will carry
their complaints tomorrow to
the Federal Aviation Agency.
which will hold a hearing at
10 am. in Oakton Elementary
School.
About IS property owners
are protesting a shift in a
3.3-mile section of the access
road southwark from the loca-
ton which was announced last
December by FAA.
Request by Senators
The residents claim the loca-
ton was shifted "mysteriously
and furtively" without benefit
of a public hearing. Tomor-
rows hearing on the shift was
granted by FAA after requests
from Senators Byrd and Rob-
ertson, Democrats of Virginia,
and Representative Broyhill,
Republican Of Virginia.
Senator Robertson informed
the residents yesterday that
Senator Magnuson has agreed
to hold a hearing if the Vir-
ginia legiSls tors want one.
Funds for the access road are
included in money requests
which Senator MagnuSon's APP
preparations Subcommittee will
begin considering tomorrow.
Scott SeegerS, a spokesman
for the protesting group, said
the residents would like to get
the project before Senator Mag
nuson's Commerce Committee.
Sees Damages
Mr.. Seeger's group claims the
shift will mean destruction of
more residential properties and
disruption of several communi-
ties.

annexing about 80 square miles.
Much of the area both jul
risdictions are considering an
nexing would include land that
produces large tax revenues
for the county.
Don Larson, county govern
ment consultant, said the
charter presented yesterday
used most of the present
county governmental structure.
1t only changes the name of
governmental departments.
One point likely to raise
some tempers within the
county is provision that the
charters of all existing towns.
including Fairfax. Herndon,
Clifton and Vienna, would be
revoked if the county were in
corporated.
The charter also provides
that an incorporated city of
Fairfax would take over all
the bonded and current debts
of the towns.
/ Would Elect Mayor
The county's seven magis-
terial districts, which now
elect one supervisor apiece to
the County Board, would be
renamed city wards and would
elect councilmen instead.
The council would elect a
mayor and the city would have
a city manager instead of the
present county executive.
The city manager would have
the power to appoint and re-
move city officers and employees
Presently, the Board of Super
viSors does this on recommen-
dalton of the county executive
Two new elective Office:
would be created under the
charter - commissioner Of
revenue aand city treasurer
The post of sheriff would bt
renamed city sergeant.
A city attorney would bt
hired to advise the city council
on legal matters. The Com.
monwealth'S attorney now
gives legal advice to the super.
visorS. The Commonwealth
attorney, however. would re-
main to prosecute cases in the
courts.
State Delegate John C
Webb, in a statement on the
incorporation, charged it woulC
be so expensive that we CAM
afford it."
Mr.. Webb said the county
had received $16.5 million il
State road funds over the pas
five years, and added that Thu
would have been only So mil
lion if the county had been &
city.
Mr.. Webb said further thai
the initial capital outlay TO.

would be between 81 million
and SO million, and needed
road improvements would to-
tai another 50 to So million.

John C. Slaughter, a promin-
ent farmer of near Smyrna, who
for a number of years has been
residing on the Lee Cummins
farm, died Saturday evening at
eleven o'clock from an attack
of the heart. He had been in
failing health for about five
years. He early took up the
vocation of farming which lie
followed all his life. Some fifty
years ago he married Miss Mary
Anna Cummins, daughter of
MIR. and Mrs. Philip Cummins.
She survives him with three
children: Frank and John Slau-
ghter, of near Smyrna, and Mrs.
Ida Harrington of Little Creek.

out in the large barn on the

with all the livestock belonging
to the tenant, Enoch Durham,
and valuable pair of mules
belonging to Fisher and Satter-

April 80, to appear before the Com

1t is going to be an extremely diff

has refused to include it in the budget,
and has established a policy of "no

"new starts" as any projects where
a construction appropriation was not

Aftermath of Recent Yellowstone County Case ;.
State Board, Utilities,
Talk Tax Equalization

Early in March District Judge E
E. Fenton handed down a decision
in Yellowstone county district court
which in effect said that inter-county
assessments of utilities by the State
Board of Equalization were more
than twice as high as local assess
ments on other property made by
county assessors.
Fenton's ruling in Oil Basin Pipe
Line Co., State Board of Equaliza-
ton, stated the state board pursued
a fundamentally wrong method of
assessment in Intentionally, arbitrar-
lily and Systematically assessing the
plaintiffs right-of-way easements,
fixtures and improvements at approx
imately 76 per cent of their full cash
value when it knew that real
estate, improvements and fixtures
generally in the six counties in which
plaintiffs property was situate were
assessed at an average of 81 per cent
of full cash value :"
Fenton then ordered the repay
ment to the pipeline company of
$15,1185O of the $37,944.01 total
tax collected from the company.
The State Board, Immediately an
nounced intention of carrying the
issue to the State Supreme Court,
pointing out that if Fenton's decision
were allowed to go uncontested; that
if the District Judge were allowed
to serve in the role of assessor, which
his figuring actual overpayment by
Oil Basin amounted to, the various
counties would have to raise addi-
tional taxes amounting to between
seven and eight million dollars.
(The state board, while admitting
there is still substantial discrimina-
ton between what utilities and local
property are assessed, takes issue with
Fenton's two-to-one figure, pointing
out that on a statewide basis, utility
assessments averages are actually 81
per cent of full and true or approxi-
mately AZ per cent higher than state
wide local property assessments of
35 per cent of full and true. On this
basis, the board points out that the
