Volume XXVIII, Number 8 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA • THURSDAY, JANUARY 6, 1977 FIFTEEN CENTS Tax troubles ahead State ‘shortfall’ could hike local rates By MEMORY PORTER IF LOCAL real estate taxes have to provide the revenues needed to balance the $117.2 million shortfall expected in the state’s budget in the coming fiscal year, many counties across the state will “have to raise the property taxes considerably.” George Long, the executive director of the Virginia Association of Counties, gave this warning to a small turnout of Northern Virginia state legislators and local government officials at a legislative meeting in Arlington on December 14. Long maintained that counties across the state could be facing a jump in real estate taxes from 12 to 20 per cent, an increase in real estate taxes of 20 cents to as high as $2.15 on each $100 of assessed value. The Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia Municipal League are urging the 1977 session of the General Assembly to amend the existing sales tax legislation to provide for a onecent sales t^x increase. However, the two statewide groups representing local governments differ on how the one cent sales tax increase should be distributed. The counties are recommending the additional revenues be returned to the localities on the basis of school age population, while the cities and towns would like the higher sales tax to be returned to the jurisdictions based on points of collection. Republican Senator Wiley Mitchell, who represents the City of Alexandria asserted that the disagreement over the formula used to return the one cent sales tax to the local governments was going to raise an “historical problem” in the General Assembly. Mitchell suggested that neither proposal was the answer. _ Fairfax Supervisor Martha Pennino insisted that the executive committee of the Association of Counties had “looked at the broader perspective.” Citing the example of Scott County in the southwest section of the state, Pennino said that most of the 16,000 residents of Scott County go across the state line to Tennessee to shop and should the one cent sales tax be returned to the localities based on points of collection, Scott County would receive little new revenues. Also, she maintained, across the state, towns and small cities would not receive the revenues where the surrounding counties have encouraged shopping centers outside the municipalities. BOTH the Association of Couo* ties and the Municipal League support legislation to allow local governments to impose a local surtax on the state income tax. Delegate Carrington Williams, representing the 18th District in Fairfax County, said the local option income tax presented the “most feasible package.” He cautioned that “to pass one tax in the General Assembly will be difficult; two taxes will be very difficult.” Reacting to the reluctance on the part, of the state legislators to commit to the new sources of revenue for the local governments, Pennino questioned how the state lawmakers could “turn their Accidents are reported A two-vehicle collision occurred December 31 on Route 618 to Red Oak Mountain.

According to a report from Sheriff W. A. Buntin, the time of death was ascertained by Dr. G. A. Bendlage, Coroner, as being between 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. The wound was in the lower abdomen area. Edward Starks has been charged with the shooting which is still under investigation. * „ t Day car. The Woodward vehicle was not damaged. No injuries resulted and no charges were placed. Norman Milton Jenkins Jr. of Front Royal was involved in a single vehicle crash January 1. He lost control of his 74 Dodge on Route 614 and struck a tree. He sustained a bruised hand. Damages were estimated at $600 and charges are pending, said Trooper Baines. John Maitland of Lanham, Md. was cited for driving to the left of the road after he became involved in a collision with Roberta Smoot of Culpeper on January 1. The mishap occured on Route 601 near Peola Mills. Maitland was driving a 68 Ford .vhen he rounded a curve and struck the 71 Ford operated by Roberta Smoot. Three passengers in the cars sustained minor injuries. Damage to Maitland’s vehicle was estimated at $500 and at $600 to Smoot’s, according to Mr. Baines. backs” on the local elected officials who represented the same constituency. The local governments were united across the state in asking for the additional taxes, she said. ‘‘How can that happen with representative government?” she asked. “It isnoteasy to propose additional taxes... we don’t want to raise real estate tax es or to cut the services.” She maintained that when it came to local budget hearings the citizens turned out asking for services, such as quality education not be cut. Echoing the plea from local government, Joseph Wholey, Chairman of the Arlington County Board of Supervisors, asked the See Pace 2 Old Man Winter donned a mantle of white and paraded through the countryside Wednesday morning.

Kindergarten registration Children eligible to enter Kindergarten in Rappahannock County for the 1977 session will be registered at the Rappahannock County Elementary School Tuesday and Wednesday, January 18 and 19 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Every child residing in the county who will be five years of age during 1977 is to be registered by his parent or guardian. Parents who do not desire for a child to attend Kindergarten may request the School Board in writing to withdraw the child. This procedure will be explained at time of registration. In order that adequate educa tional planning may be accomplished, it is important that all eligible children be registered on January 19. Parents are reminded that an official copy of the child’s birth certificate must be presented at registration. Parents who do not have an official birth certificate for their child should bring $2 to cover cost of securing this record. The Public Health Nurse, Mrs. Frances Thornton, will be at the school to explain to parents the required procedure for health examination and immunization of the children being registered. □

MRS. SARAH C. LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Curious attitude A SURVEY of Seniors distributed by the State Department of Education in Richmond reveals a curious attitude toward this area’s most important “industry” which we hope was entirely unintentional. In any event, we hope that any future surveys do something to correct what could be interpreted as a snobbish bias toward agriculture and working on farms. In querying the high school seniors on “My future occupation,” a list of jobs is given, apparently by degrees of desirability. At the top of the list is: “Jobs such as executive in a large business, accountant, chemist, engineer, lawyer, physician, college teacher.” All right; such jobs have traditionally been classified at the top of the heap in our society. But then begins descending scale going through such occupations as “proprietor of medium business,” to insurance agent, bank clerk, carpenter, etc. Listed at the very last is this category: “Jobs such as cafeteria worker, dairy worker, farm helper, freight handler, unspecified laborer, street cleaner.” No wonder so many youngsters wind up feeling reluctant to consider farm work as an honorable and worthwhile future for them selves. To group one of the most important and valuable occupations of this or any other society in the same category as “unspecified laborer” and street cleaner is to do an injustice to one of this entire nation’s most valuable assets one which will become increasingly important as world population pressures increase. THE United States is conventionally regarded as an industrial nation, and yet its leading exports are agricultural products. We lead the world in food production, thanks not only to a land blessed by ample arable acres, but by a farm management and labor force unsurpassed for productivity and innovation. If those who are in charge of our public schools regard farm work as something to be done only by those on the bottom of the work force scale, and the children respond to this negative attitude, then the United States could find itself in as much trouble with its food supply as so many other areas of the globe already have.

I shall always be deeply grateful for the confidence and support of the people of this district and the many kindnesses they have extended to me. I hope and trust that my legislative service has merited their confidence and support. D. French Slaughter, Jr. Questionnaire to be mailed Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson will mail a questionnaire to 7th Congressional District households within the next week, asking for citizen views on matters likely to come up for action in the 95th Congress. The 7th District Representative has made a practice of distributing such a questionnaire early in each session of Congress and making public the tabulation of responses. Budget, tax, foreign policy, health insurance and Social Security questions are among those included in the questionnaire to be mailed. (Additional copies may be obtained from Robinson’s office. U. S. House of Representa tives, Washington, D.C. 20515.) In a statement, Robinson noted: “Any questionnaire of reasonable length obviously cannot cover all of the issues with which Congress has been dealing, but I have included matters on which it would be particularly helpful to me to "have a current indication of 7th District opinion. All shades of viewpoint cannot be accommodated in questions to be answered with a ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ and I welcome additional comments, but they should be sent in a separately-mailed letter in order to have my personal attention, as this questionnaire will be tabulated outside the Congressional office.” □ Tax troubles Prom Page 1 state legislators to announce in advance when public hearings would be held. He complained that it was difficult to muster citizens or even the government officials on just a half hour notice of public hearings before the committees of the state legislature. Delegate Wyatt Durrette had a different observation. “I haven’t had a single constituent or citizen come up to me and ask for a tax increase of any kind,” he maintained. Recalling a meeting two weeks earlier with the Association of General Contractors, Durrette said that the dozen businessmen attending the meeting thought there was ‘‘fat to be cut” from the state budget. He added that “only the local officials” are putting forth the message for increased taxes. Pennino countered that while no citizens ask for higher taxes directly, they instead ask for increased police service, fire protection or qualify education and if the money is not there. !he a! ternative is to hold .stilt or .•>; crease the local real ena;o - THE majority leader of the a; ate Senate, Adelard Brault, said while he was “sympathetic to the problems of local government,” what he heard from legislators around the state, they don’t see the same need for the new taxes being proposed. Loudoun County Supervisor Frank Raflo disagreed. Loudoun County had been ordered to build a new courthouse, at a cost of $1.8 million. And by 1980 the state laws would require lower pupil-teacher ratios, than presently existing in Loudoun, possibly requiring new school construction or more school personnel. Raflo asked that the General Assembly “loosen” the requirements of mandated programs facing the counties. Another united plea from the state wide local government associations to the General Assembly is that any state-mandated programs be accompanied with state funds to finance the programs, and if state funds should be cut, that the state then cut back on the program requirements in the mandated legislation. Dick DeCair, director vf the Virginia Municipal League, closed the meeting by observing that “as a citizen of Richmond,’’ the solutions to the financial problem seem to be “at the expense of local government.” There seems to be a “serious flaw in the partnership” between the state and local government officials he said, adding the hope that there would be a new era in communication. “Despite bitter battles in the past between the counties’ interests and those of the municipalities,” DeCair said this year the two organizations would be unified in their requests to the General Assembly. Earlier, Martha Pennino had warned that if the 1977 General Assembly failed to act, leaving the tax burdens to the local governments, one county official suggested the alternative was to “cut the political throats” of the state legislators.

T H E L I ; L E F 0 X Rural housing loan program okayed THE Farmers Home Administration has begun a program through which it will guarantee rural housing loans made by commercial banks, savings and loan associations, and other private lenders, M. L. Trew, FmHA County FIRE, RESCUE The Washington Fire Company responded to a brush fire near Scrabble Wednesday, December 22. The Sperryville Rescue Squad responded to a car accident at Peola Mills January 1 but services were not needed. December 24 the Chester Gap Rescue Squad took Mrs. Alice Thorpe from Castleton to a Charlottesville hospital. On the 27th Mrs. Thorpe was taken from Culpeper Memorial Hospital to Charlottesville. George F. James of Washington was taken from Chester Gap to Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal by this unit on December 31. The Chester Gap squad took Willie B. Mills from home in Huntly to Warren Memorial Hospital on January 2. The Chester Gap Fire Department responded to a chimney fire December 30 at the Charles Leake home. No damage resulted. Flint Hill Rescue Squad, at the request of the Front Royal squad, transported Angela Burke from Front Royal to Charlottesville Monday. Flint Hill Fire Company responded to a fire Wednesday morning at an abandoned house on Route 637. The fire was extinguished. New disability rules are urged Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson has introduced a bill to reduce the waiting period for commencement of disability benefits under Social Security, and to make benefits retroactive to the date the eligible disability began. “The present five-month waiting period before a disability benefit application may be considered creates substantial additional financial hardship for many unemployable disabled persons and their families,” Robinson noted in a statement and added: — “The waiting period was placed in the law to make reasonably certain that a disability was of such severity as to preclude gainful work, and that it could be expected to continue indefinitely. I do think, however, that a onemonth delay before beginning processing of a claim should be sufficient. In addition, once the date at which total and presumably permanent disability commenced has been determined, I believe retroactive payments would be in order.” Supervisor for Culpeper, Madison, Orange, Rappahannock and Fauquier Counties, has announced in Culpeper. FmHA, the rural credit agency of the U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), will guarantee up to 90 percent of the principal and interest of these loans. Guaranteed housing loans will be available for moderate-income borrowers who cannot get housing mortgage credit without a guarantee. Applicants who cannot qualify for guaranteed loans may apply for loans made by FmHA. At present, the USDA agency will offer loan guarantees only under its single-family housing loan program. FmHA will continue to make single-family housing loans with its own funds. It will also continue to make but not guarantee loans for rural rental housing, farm labor housing, housing site development, and other purchases. Guaranteed loans will be made only to applicants with moderate income, defined by FmHA as adjusted gross income of less than $15,600 per year for residents of Virginia, and not eligible for subsidized rural housing loans. Lowincome applicants may be eligible for subsidized rural housing loans made by FmHA. Single-family housing loans are made in open country, towns of up to 10,000 population, and certain designated towns of between 10,000 to 20,000 population. They finance modest but adequate housing and related facilities, Trew explains. LOANS may be used to buy, build, improve, repair or rehabilitate houses and related facilities, and to provide adequate water and waste disposal systems. Loans to be guaranteed are limited to 97 percent of the market value of homes and sites for the first $25,000 and 95 percent of the market value of homes and of the loan in excess of $25,000. The borrower must have equity from his own resources, in the form of cash or land for the down payment, notes Trew. The top limit for a quaranteed rural housing loan to a resident of Virginia is $33,000. The maximum repayment period is 33 years. TREW also reports that FmHA regulations provide lenders who obtain guarantees for rural housing loans options for selling, assigning, or selling participations in the guaranteed parts of these loans. FmHA regulations require that the lender making a guaranteed rural housing loan be a local lender—located in or doing business in the area where the house is located. To apply for an FmHAguaranteed rural housing loan, contact your local lender. Mark, Rob and Sherri Brown of Sperryville tried the ice on Johnson’s pond Sunday.
