SUBURBAN “ARLINGTON SCHOOL PLANS OUTLINED But County Superintendent Does Not Commit Self on Increased Taxation. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va., April 1.—Appear- ing iast night before a meeting of the special committee of delegates from the wvarious parent-teacher associations of the county, Fletcher Kemp, superin- tendent of schools, outlined the tenta- tive plans for the enlargement of the public school system, but declined to affirm statements credited to him that the program could be carrie dout with- out an increase in taxation. Kemp stated that the School Board has held frequent meetings to discuss @ proposed bond issue for the increase in school facilities, but has not as yet Teached any definite decision as to what ‘will be asked. These meetings will con- tinue during the week, he said, and the board will soon be in a position to sub- mit several complete plans for consid- eration. Mr. Kemp's Views. In discussing the statement attributed to him that the program could be car- ried out without increased taxation, Kemp said: “I am not sure whether this can be carried out without increased taxation, but I am sure that the rate for schools | cannot remain at 90 cents, although we can go but 10 cents more under the law. as a training school for teachers for the District of Columbia and Maryland because of the small salaries that we pay, and we cannot have the efficiency desired until this situation is over- come.” One of the most important recom- mendations made by the school super- intendent was that a regular 5-cent rate be imposed to care for future ex- pansion. The regular imposition of this tax would do away with further necessity for bond issues for this pur- pose, he sald. Kemp was besieged with questions from the various delegates nt at the meeting, but was unable to give definite answers to many of them be- of the incomplete plans of the . Advocate Single School ‘Walter K. Handy and various other were emphatic in their advo- delegates cacy of a single high school for the| entire county. Kemp said that this was one of the things that had not been decided, since many of the resi- dents of Jefferson district, who lost their high school through annexation, feel that there should be a high school in that part of the county. When asked how long the proposed bullding program would adequately care for the school needs of the coun- ty, Kemp said that estimated on the recent growth of the population an- other increase should not be needed for #ix or seven years. It is possible, Kemp said, that the natural increase in assessed valuation of real estate will care for the new bond issue. Since 1925, he declared, the yearly increase in valuations has been ‘approximately $1,000,000 for the entire ccounty, or $750,000 for the part that is l!ur“l}.:l:n!xlth)lan‘ Last night's meet was sided over by Arthur Orr, clmirmnn.prlil ad- dition to delegates from the parent- teacher associations, there also were delegates from the Arlington District Couneil, Aurora Heights Civic' Associa- ton, Lyon Park Citizens’ Association, lage lppmvemem.
