days to submit proposals for the
100'A excess school levy, and more
will undoubtedly quickly take the
same action. In this connection
Jefferson County is doing about
all it can at the moment, except
for the fact that an equalization
of property values is badly needed.
Until this is done and our assess-
ed values are adjusted according
to requirements for receiving our
share of state aid, we are going
to be short of adequate money
for our public schools.
Colleges Get Increase
Per State College there was pro
vided in the budget an increase in
pay for instructors, and Vhrough
an increase in student fees of $50
'per semester there has been set
up a building fund w~hich will, on
a long term basis, enable the state
colleges to plan and build addit-
ional buildings. Two-thirds of this
fee increase will go into the build
ing fund and One-third into Gen-
eral Revenue, .where the colleges
will ghare in the available addit-
ional money.
In connection with college build
ings, I am glad to say that Shep-
herd is in process of getting a new
women's dormitory and cafeteria.
We managed to squeeze a $66.000
ftem into the budget for equip-
ment for the building, a federal re
quiremen~t upon which hinged fed
eral approval of a loan they will
grant for a good portion of the
money for the building. This ad-
ditional, together with the new
athletic $ield w'hic~ is nearing
completion, will definitely give
Shepherd a greatly improved phy-
sical set-up and we will have one
of the best equipped state colleges
in this section of the country.
Among the 'bills passed, ! think
,the following will be of most inter-
est to Jefferson County residents:
8ales of property for non-pay-
men,t of taxes may be conducted
inside or outside .the door of the
courVhouse.

corporate limits.
Controversy Develops
WVhin recent weeks a real con-
troversy has developed on the is-
sue. And t,his week with the elec-
tion near at hand, members of the
Charles Tow[z Council are moving
~o enllghted~ng 'those opposing
the plan on the advantages it of-
fers to them.
One such move was made Mon-
day night when a public meeting
was held for the purpose of ex-
plaining the areas included in the
proposed boundary extensions, the
savings in money and the extra
conveniences and protections
which Council says will come ,to
those residing in, or owning prop
erty in these areas should they
come ~nto the corporate limits of
the town. At this informal discuss
ion which was attended ',by both
those favoring and those opopsing
the boundary extensions, many
questions were asked regarding say
ings on insurance with a reduction
in rates which Councilmen say
v˘ill come with adding of more fire
hydran,ts, water service, and police
protection for the areas. The City
FaVhers also feel the water sy-
stem which the municipality of
Charles Town is now negotiating
~o purchase, can and will, be ex-
tended into these outlying areas,
along wi,th instalaltion of street
lights.
The answer .to two of the fore-
most questions which voters, both
wi*thin the town's limits and those
.in the outlying areas, have been
asking frequently in recent weeks
,came Vhis week from the West Vir
giniu Rating Bureau in a letter to
Charles Town Mayor Nicholas Car
son,
The question which has been
uppermost in the minds of the
people already residing within the
,town limits has been "What chan
ge in classification, if any, will the
proposed boundary lines exten-
sions have upon the present class-
iftcetion the city now holds. C. E.
McGinley, inspector for the Bur-
eau reports to Mayor Carson that
the proposed changes will not
change the classifica~tion .the city
now enjoys, providing the water
distribution system is improved.
Councilmen point ou,t that
many improvements to the water
system have already been made
and plans are being drawn to
make other extensive improve-
ments.
The other top question, and one
which is being asked mostly by
those living in the outlying areas
b~ing considered for incorporation
into the town, is-W'hat rate class
ffication will cover the new areas
if brouuht in,to Charles Town. Mr.
P,,alses the salaries of S~ate Pol- 4YlcGinley stat~s that all dwellings
icemen $50 a monVh, in that area that are within 1,000
Revised workmer~ compenswtion feet of a fire hydrant that will pro
payments to bring new benefi,ts duce sufficent volumes and press-
totaling about $600,000 annually, ures for fire protection will receive
Gave Justices of t~he Peace jur the same elassigication as the city.

juveniles, who must now be tak- foot distanc@ will receive nlnth
