ton when the General Assembly
convenes in biennial session this
month
Merchants Appear
A tWoman delegation, repre-
senting about IS Farmville mer-
chants had appeared to request
such action by the supervisors.
A. NJ Fore and u B. Morris pre-
sented resolution, adopted unani-
mously at recent meeting of the
merchants. 1t asked the board to
withdraw support of sales tax pro-
posal until the provisions of en-
abling statutes are known.
The merchants contend that the
need for sales tax has not vet
been sufficiently shown. par
ticularly for needs beyond those
" hi c h could be met by new
economies. They also said a pro
sales tax stand is umustified until
it becomes clear that compensat-
ing reductions in present tax levies
are proposed.
The merchants resolution was
signed by committee composed Of
E. L. Dahl, S. A. Martin and the
two spokesman presenting it Tues
day.
Board Agrees
In passing their own resolution,
supervisors agreed with the nler-
chants that sales tax endorsement
now. involving so many unknown
and skinny factors, is unwise. The
League of Virginia counties. tn e
statewide organization of boards of
supervisors is on record favorlng
sales tax provided half of the
proceeds are returned to counties
in an umspecified use arrangement.
The board was meeting for the
first session of new four-year terms
and conducted reorganization

Charles Pickett, who succeeds
Edward A. Carter as Hampden Dis
trict representative, was welcomed
to his first formal session with the
board. Carter who had been chair
man retired from the board De-
cenIber 81 after serving q years.
Polio Vaccine
Dr.. F.. j. Clements, director OF
the Southside Health District, which
includes Prince Edward. was pres
ent to brief supervisors on proposed
fund askings to support the county
health department in l96O-6l.
He made a special plea for sup
port of the polio vaccine program,
and said mo reason exists here for
anyone not getting the preventive
ilnmunization There are free
supplies for persons unable to pay
for them; enough for other persons
who can make a modest payment
and ample supplies for persons
wishing to take the series through
the services Of family physicians,
he said.
The board also approved salary
scales and expense budgets for all
county constitutional officers for
the calendar year commencing
January l. Most Of these provide
for salary increases, which are
listed in detail in another column
