PTAs in Arlington to Urge
$500 Teacher Pay Raise

"The salaries paid Arlington
teachers up to now have beer
set from year to year on the
basis Of considerations gov
erned primarily by short-run
financial expediency and modi-
fed somewhat by the pious
hope that we will not fall toe
far behind the more progressive
school systems in this area. =
the budget committee said. As
a result. Arlington cannot at
tract anf hold enough quail
fed teachers to meet its needs
and is therefore unduly de-
pendent upon q highly tran
sient teacher supply"
The committee said that the
people Of Arlington are willing
to place the best interests OF
their children above the die
tates Of fiscal timidity."
The superintendent budget
calls for spending $l2.S million
IN fiscal l959-60. an increase of
8 per cent.

former company's routes
which constitute a potential
profitable prize.
The Maryland Public Serv-
ice Commission will begin
hearings in Baltimore tomor-
row on whether the routes

Earl Foreman. attorney for
VIVA, disclosed that the buses
were purchased from Public
Service Co-ordinated Trans
port. a New Jersey firm.
He said they are 32-passen-
ger, disel driven vehicles and
claimed they are superior to
those employed by D. c.
Transit in Montgomery.
The purchase contract re-
quires delivery Of 10 of the
buses by April Is. 10 by May Is

said he expected some would

Asks Study Of
Sunday Sales

ANNArOLA1o, mar. 8 ZAP
Closing all but few small
stores and a study of restric-
tons on sale or liquor on Sum
days have been recommended
by a special State Blue Law"
commission.
The commission, named by
Gov. Tawes last month, urged
the General Assembly in a re-
port last night to enact meas
ures to protect Sunday as a
general day Of rest, recreation
and family activities"
In a dissenting report, how
ever, commission member j. A.
Buckwalter declared that en-
forced observance of the Sab
bath would represent encroach-
ment upon individual freedom.
THE concern Of many citi-
zens over the increasing COM
liberalization of their day Of
rest is understandable" he
wrote. 1.-THE question is whether
this tendency should be allevi-
ated by legal restraint or per-
suasion. A stable segment of
Professionalism favoring Sunday
observance prefers voluntary
self-discipline rather than leg
islated conformity"
Mr.. Buckwalter, who is a
Seventh-Day Adventist minis
ter, urged the General Assem-
bly, to enact a "one-day-in-
seven law" to replace the Sum-
day blue laws" which he de-
nounced as discriminatory,
unconstitutional and out.
NODDED" Such an act, he said,
would recognize the right Of
an individual to worship on any
day he chooses.
There has been a growing
controversy over Sunday sales
in some sections of the State.
Numerous store operators were
arrested in Anne Arundel
County last year and the de-
bate on business on the Sab
bath has been spreading.
The commission m a jority
found that Sunday observance
is being threatened by "a few
of our own large-scale retail
outlets as well as retailers en-
tering our State" from areas
where the same regard for
Sunday" isn't maintained.
The group said there should
be certain well-defined excep-
tons" to a Statewide closing
law.
These exceptions would in
clude drug stores, food stores
employing three persons or less,
restaurants. soda parlors. news
stands, service stations and
certain small roadside stands.
Sunday sales at beaches and
other amuse emit centers
should be left to local jurisdic-
ton. the report said.
Places the commission said
should be closed include auto
agencies. used car lots. mar
kets, farmers" markets, laun-
dries and dry cleaning shops.
1t was pointed out that Mary
lands blue laws, enacted in
1928. don't require closing on
Sunday, but prohibit sales. with
certain exemptions.

mously by the Education Com.

that the Ways and Means

going to take a lot Of convinc.
ing to sell me this bill"
Mr.. Walker was a member Of
the council two years ago wher
County Manager M. L. Reese
sought to put a tax on public
utility bills. The bill was killed
OF the time with assertions that
1T would mean political sui
eide"
Mr.. Reese estimates the gross
revenues of the Chesapeake &,
Potomac Telephone Co., the
Washington Gas Light Co. and
the Potomac Electric Power Co
in the county amount to about
$50 million a year.
Raise SIS Million
A 5 per cent tax would
raise SIS million based on
these estimates.
The tax, however. would be
passed on to the consumers.
One thing the legislators
want to be sure of: Is MIR.
Reese right in asserting that
this levy would not be pin
pointed directly on monthly
utility bills going out to county
residents?
Another question to be
settled is what provision is
there for equity between the
users Of gas for home heating
and the users Of fuel oil.
Fuel oil dealers under the
bill, as made public here, would
not be subject to the tax.
Mr.. Lee said the Delegates
also want to know If this bill
will actually result in trans.
ferring part Of the tax burden
from persons now paying real
estate property taxes.
Franchise Fee
Senator Edward S. Northrop
said that he wants to make
certain that If the bill is passed
it will mean the county is COL
lecting the franchise fee on
utility bills paid by Federal
installations in the county.
The installations now escape
local taxation.
Mr.. Reese has suggested a
3.5 per cent tax for the i'm
mediate future which he says
will raise ABOUT 81 million.
To raise this noun t
through the real estate tax
would require a l0-cent in
crease in the present $2.18 per
500 tax rate.
On a house assessed at
$10,500 (actual value about
$2l ,000) such an increase
would add $10.50 to a real es-
tate tax bill.
One specific example Of a
homeowner whose house is
assessed at this noun
showed the 3.5 per cent tax in
utility bills paid during 1858
would total $14.40.
