Watching purse strings
HERBERT FOSTER IS THE Supervisor his fellow Supervisors look to every time a question involving money is involved, and he seldom disappoints them. A case in point occurred at the September meeting. Mrs. Virginia Smith, Rappahannock Commissioner of Revenue, appeared before the Board to say she’d like to attend an educational meeting of revenue commissioners October 5 and 6 in Williamsburg.
There was a general indication of agreement among the Supervisors, but — as usual — there iyasa pause, and the members turned toward Foster. The moment of silence lengthened into maybe two moments of silence. Finally, Foster said: 111 go along with it - if it’s not too much.” He was told the charge would be $23 a night. “And all the steak you can eat?” he retorted, his eyes widening.
“That’s cheap, Herbert,” th’s Attorney George Davis.
