Highway engineers have
come up with a cantilevered
roadway to get a new section of
the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway through a tight
right-of-way squeeze.
The unusual design permits
a four-lane parkway to be built
in space that would normally
hold only three lanes.
With the cantilever device-a
acknowledgements overhang-
cars will move along two lanes
on the upper level and others
will speed in the opposite direc-
ton along the two lanes under
meath the structure.
The engineers handling the
project say the cantilevered
roadway design is seldom used
for highway construction, since
there isn't any need for COM,

space. But ins this case engi-H

pital officials will make a strong
pitch for more Federal funds
to run the hospital in 1861. The
theory is that research and
training programs at st. ElSa-
beths would be of value to the
whole mental health field in
the United States.
The District certainly would
benefit from intensified re-
search and training, too, but
the value would not be con-
centrated here. as is the cost
of conducting those programs
at the present time.
One new idea for adjusting
costs would be to seek a Fed
eral appropriation for the hos
pital to cover expenses of &C
tivities of Nationwide signifi-
canoe. The District would be
asked to pay a certain percent
age of basic costs of care per
District patient to make up the
difference.
Construction costs might be
a Federal responsibility under
this theory, too. Now, the Dis
trict pays rs per cent of con-
struction costs, in direct pro-
portion to the number Of DIS
trict patients compared to the
total patient population.
No Change Likely
A related possibility is that
the District would shoulder
costs Of an expanded cut
patient. service from st. Eliza
beths. And the Federal Gov
eminent could increase its re-
possibility for impatient care.
The Eisenhower administra-
ton has followed present sys-
TENS of financing st. Eliza
bethS for eight years. So il
appears unlikely that the
Budget Bureau would adopt q
new approach in its dying
days.

cost of $40 million annually.
OF these patients, $500 are
from the District of Columbia.
So local taxpayers pay rs per
cent of total hospital costs, or
about SIS million a year.
Questions System
Mark Sullivan, jr., local in
vestment banker turned Dis
trict Commissioner, is becom-
ing convinced that this system
is uneconomical - socially as
well as financially. Patients
lose because they are dependent
in a Federal institution on pro-
grams financed to a large de-
gree from local taxes. District
taxpayers lose because such a
large chunk of public health
funds is reserved for programs
which Federal administrators
hope to shape as models for the
Nation at st. Elizabeths.
This theory, voiced most re-

of costs. Members
Of the District Public Health

beths, mental health has be-

School Budget
Rise Predicted
In Arlington
81 Million More
Seen Needed to
Lift Teacher Pay
BY JOHN BARRON
Star stan Writer

The Arlington School Board
probably will ask for a 81 mil
lion budget increase next year,
two of its members disclosed
yesterday.
Both agreed that the extra
money, which would be used
primarily to finance higher
teacher salaries, probably can
not be obtained without rails
ing taxes.
County Board members,
caught between demands for
more community services and
protests against further tap
ping of existing tax sources,
commented that they will sub
ject every item of the school
board request to the closest
scrutiny.
But they indicated that re-
gardless of whether it is
granted, some county property
owners may have to pay more
taxes because of real estate
feassessments now being con-
sidered.
School Board Member Lee
Bean said he favorS raising the
basic teacher pay scale from
81, 6O0-$7, 200 to $4,800-$7 900
next year.
SIS Million Budget
He estimated that this, to-
gether with raises for nom
teaching personnel and neces-
sary increases in funds for
capital improvements. will re-
quire a school budget of about
SIS million. The present
budget is $14 million.
Mr.. Beams colleague, James
Stockard, said the 81 million
increase sounds about right. :"
He warned, however, that
he will insist pay raises be &C
companied by sitter standards
for recruiting teachers and
broader provisions for firing
unsatisfactory instructors.
II don't think Arlington can
continue to increase taxes
year after year." commented
County Board Member Ernest
Wilt. Il think we must espe-
cially scrutinize each expendi-
ture next year and make every
effort to avert a tax increase. I"
THE County Board has two
very tough decisions to make"
Chairman Herbert Brown said.
1--WE must determine the
relative prioritieS of demands
by the schools and county.
Then we must schedule our eff
forts to meet them in a way
that the community will con-
slider sensible. ! don't think we
can have everything at once"
Mr.. Brown added that de-
|mands articulately voiced by
"highly civic minded activists"
do not necessarily represent
desires of the community as a
whole.
Reconciliation Needed
Leo Urbanske, who will be
next years board chairman,
declared:
II will continue to support
maintenance of the best school
system the people are willing
to pay for. But I think 1861 will
be the year of decision about
local financing. I think we
should hold the tax line while
we completely re-evaluate our
tax structure, needs and how
much people are willing to pay
to meet them"
Thomas Richards, who was
elected to the County Board
this month, said:
II agree with Mr.. Brown. I
intend to go over the budgets
item by item. line by line"
Arlington residents will re-
ceive an opportunity to express
opinions about next years
school program when the
School Board solicits views at
a hearing December S.
Both Mr.. Stockard and Mr..
Bean emphasized that what is
said then and in subsequent
hearings may alter their think
ing.
