Fairfax County is not a sum-
mer carnival-or shouldn't be
lat taxpayers expense-Some
members of the Board of Coun-
ty Supervisors believe. They
think the county's charity is
being strained.
The supervisors are concerned
by a recent sharp increase in
requests from service organi-
cations for the return of the
license fees on carnivals they
sponsored.
These fees range from 5000
for a one-day carnival to 81 900
for one week long. The money
goes into the county general
fund.
For years the boards policy
has been to refund the fee as
donations" The amount of
money involved was about
$1,000 to $4,000 a year.
Requests on Rise
But last year the number of
requests for fee donations be-
gan to rise. Since July, 1861,
there have been IL requests,
amounting to $13,400. The
Board granted them all, but is
beginning to wonder how wise
the policy is.
Members plan to review the
matter after their August recess
with the idea of forming a stric-
ter policy or cutting out the
donations altogether.
Since the carnival operator
pays the license fee Mutually,
the sponsor is assured of a
profit equal to the donated fee
even if the carnival doesn't
make money.
1t is to the advantage of the
operator TO be sponsored by a
service organization, according
to Carlton C. Massey, county
executive. Otherwise he must
get d special lermit from the
Board Of Zoning Appeals. To
be successful the operator needs
a lawyer to prepare and argue
his case. He must also wait
while the zoners advertise and
conduct a public hearing on his
application.
Sponsors Sought
Mr.. Massey believes that
some carnival operators have
sought sponsors to bypass this
long and costly procedure.
Neither Mr.. Massey nor the
Board questions the motives o
