This was decided by the board of education at a meeting here on Monday night. Robert Gupton, vice chairman, presided over the meeting in the absence of Chairman Eugene Davis.

The board of education members heard a delegation from the Warrenton Boosters Club asking that an item to cover the expense of some bleachers for the new John Graham High School physical education building be included in the 1960-61 budget. The board took no action on the request A ruling concerning the retirement of teachers at the age q? 65 was up for consideration by the board. This State ruling provides that "Effective July 1. 1960, an amendment to the Retirement Act provides that any member will be retired on July 1, following his 65th birthday. However, any member, may continue in sendee beyond age 65, provided that he obtain each year the recommendation of his employer and the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Retirement system." The board of education ruled that no recommendation for extension of a teacher's service beyond 65 years of age would be made execept upon K recommendation of the local ai'uuui vuiiiuuiice.

Shp 1 ) a Year 10c Per Co Town To Help In Operation Of Police Radio Better cooperation between, town and county police is expected as the result of a plan to inst-all dual controls on the county radio system. The town commissioners on' Monday night voted to spend $100 for the purchase of a re-, mote radio equipment from. Dr. Donald Mules who has dismantled his radio communication system in preparation for his departure from War-' renton. to place it in the War rentan Police Station, and to connect it with the county's two-way police radio system. Hugh Holt, chairman of the police committee. told the commissioners that the system would give Warrenton police officers closer contact with personnel of the Sheriff's Department in case of need 24 hours a day. It would also be a great advantage, to the Sheriff's Department in that the police radio town would be in operation 24 hours a day. In addition, he said, should I the town decide in the future s to equip police cars with two way radio communications, it s would give the town 24-hour! service. ' Presently the county's radio tower is only in operation dur- 1 ing the hours the sheriff's office in the court house is open. Holt? said that since Dr Mules was selling this equipment at a reduced cost, he n felt that it would be a good 0 time to buy it. The commis- 0 sioners agreed with the police chairman and ordered that the u equipment be bought and in- G stalled. Little other business was be- F fore the commissioners in a ^ I session that lasted less than G ! an hour. There was some dis| cussion about stop signs being : e I installed at some of the street ] intersection and what corners e 1 should be designated, but this ' discussion did not get beyond k ' the talk stage. It will be again j" brought up at a later meeting. G Other business before the commissioners was of a routine w nature. ?

[DAY, MARCfTTsTllltiO Board Low On 1960 A The tax value on all 1960 automobiles will be reduced 25'.'c in Warren County. This was decided on Monday when the Board of ?Countyr Commissioners met as a Board if Equalization and Review to hear complaints of Warren County taxpayers who feel khat their property is unfairly listed. Reason for the cut in iQfin model automobiles, the commissioners said, is that they are listed higher in proportion to their worth than any other models. During the day the commissioners lowered the valuation on, four pieces of real estate and raised the valuations on two parcels. Total reductions amounted to S2125 and increases $335,. leaving a valuation loss to the' county of $1790. The commissioners said that, it was almost an unheard of j thing for a citizen to ask to have his tax valuation increased. But this happened Monday. Alton Pridgen of Inez told the commissioners that 16 2 3 acres of land in Fishing Creek Township was valued too low "It is valued at' what I paid for it. but it is' too low,"' Pridgen said. He asked the commissioners to increase the valuation from $183 to $500. The. commissioners complied with his request.
