Mr.. Naisbitt said tax in

Alexandria is waiting for q
consultant's report on whether
annexation would be q good

Mayor Bendheim has pointed
to a lower real estate tax rate,
a smaller personal property tax
rate and lower fire insurance
rates because the city has paid
flremen instead of volunteers.
Mr.. BabSon, coming to the
county's defense. has pointed
out that the real estate tax
rates, a principal income source,
are virtually the same because
the city's assessment ratio Is
higher.
The city's tax rate is figured
on a 42.5 per cent assessment
ratio, compared with 81 per
cent for the county, Mr.. Babson
said.

was told that the property is

cost Of the school structure.
It is planned now at q cost of
1925. 900. The commission sug-
gested building the school ad-
dition on what is planned as
the recreation site.
The fine arts group also ex-
pressed disappointment that
the Bureau of the Budget feels
any money that might be
saved in the construction of
"a new Veterans Administration
Hospital on the Soldiers Home
Ground should not be used at
this time for an underground

Ask New Attempt
The commission had in
structed VA officials to explore
the possibility of using any
funds that might be saved for
underground parking facilities
but. according to Lowell G.
Schweickart, a VA spokesman,
the budget bureau does not
favor such use.

sion, nevertheless, told Mr..
Schweickart to try to convince
budget bureau officials once
more. But the group gave ap-
proval to the $40 million hos
pital plan.

proved the reconstruction de-

The new library. to be located
lat Benning road near Mime

by the commission members as
too utilitarian in appearance.
This is trend which should
be avoided they said.
Essentials for Cost
Gerald A. Purcell, liaison Of
ficer for the District DEPART
ment of Buildings and Grounds
told the fine arts group that
the design is limited to At GER
tain requirements that library
officials consider essential for
the layout of the interior. The
cost Of the structure is limited
to no more than $3.50, 900, he
said.
William G. Perry. q COM
mission member, noted that in
the past some libraries have
been designed more from an
architecturaIly pleasing con-
cept rather than from utilitar-
ian considerations. But, Mr..
Perry warned, designers should
not swing completely to the
other extreme now and build
unattractive library structures
with merely utilitarian con-
sideratonS in mind.
The addition to the Mott
Elementary School at Fourth

as a three-story separate
building to house 20 regular
classrooms for 600 children.
The commission criticized
designers for placing the addi-
ton only Is feet from the
three-story Mott school build
ing.
Mr.. Purcell said that the
site for the new school struc-
ture is limited although a
large playground is planned
adjacent to the elementary
school complex.

they felt three-story school

The
Rambler
Investigates
Electoral Machinery
By GEORGE KENNEDY

Never having been very
clear on the operation of the
machinery Of the Electoral
College, the Rambler went
up on the Hill yesterday to
flnd out about it.
He had the good fortune
to be sent to Floyd M. Rid
dick, Assistant Parliamen-
tartan Of the Senate, whose
doctorate of philosophy the
sis was on the operation of
the Congress.
This is what he learned:
1t seems that the Found
ing Fathers did not antici-
pate political parties. The
Constitution directs that the
President shall be elected
as follows:
Each State shall appoint,
in such manner as the leg.
islature thereof shall direct,
. number of electors
The naming Of two or more
sets of electors by the States
was not foreseen, nor was
the popular election of Pres
idents foreSeen.
Citizens did not vote for
the early Presidents, nor for
the electors. Their only vote
was for their State legis-
latures, who chose one set
Of electors.
But the rise of political
parties soon changed this.
BY 1896 all the States had
passed legislation allowing
the parties to place the
electors they had nominated
on the ballotS-with the
exception of South Carolina.
The legislature of that State
did not delegate the power
of naming electors until
after the Civil War.
