Brault of Fairfax. The suit questions whether the governor's veto of the Metro appropriation a line item in the state budget is permitted by the Virginia Con- Taxes (Continued from page 1-B) Improved business and commercial property will increase in value an average of 78 per cent. Vacant business and commercial property will show a whopping average increase of 283 per cent. The committee also looked at another item in the real estate category a special tax rate for rehabilitated property that will go into effect next year by mandate of the General Assembly. The law states that a special tax rate must be granted for residential property, older than 30 years, which has been valued upward by more than $5,000 as a result of improvements.

A similar provision is made for business and commercial property, older than 45 years, which has been raised in value by more than $25,000 through improvements. The committee asked City Attorney W. Ewell Barr to look into the matter and report back. The committee also considered a service charge for property which is exempt from real estate tax. Such property includes schools, churches, hospitals and lodges.

This compares with 25 per cent of all U.S. workers. But one group of professionals, scientists and engineers, appear to be bucking the trend.

The plaintiffs contend it was unconstitutional for, the governor to veto one Metro appro priation while leaving three others in the same section of the budget intact. Godwin approved appropriations for both years of the budget period of $3.5 million in Metro rail capital, $1.3 million in Metrobus capital and 000 for the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission. Atty. Gen.

Andrew P. Miller said in an "informal opinion" in response to a query by Godwin that the 1940 decision indicated the remaining Metro appropriations would not be imperiled. In that decision, the court defined a budget item as "an individual sum dedicated to a stated purpose." The decision upheld legislative questioning of item vetoes by Gov. James H. Price.

It declared invalid Price's veto of funding for a legislative liaison HOME OWNERS CORNER by Tom Slayton The sides and bottoms of drawers of dressers, tables and other articles of furniture are usually made of soft wood, with little or no finish. Consequently, they often swell or shrink with changes in the air. In the dry house air of winter, they run smoothly, but through the rest of the year they are likely to stick. Slight sticking can be cured by rubbing paraffin on the edges. For bad cases, the edge that is sticking can be shaved down with a plane.

The state's high court ruled the governor did not have "the power to reduce the amount of an entire item appropriation." The plaintiffs in the suit filed Monday maintain that because of the language in the 1940 decision, all Metro appropriations must be treated as a single item. A governor cannot veto "portions of items," they said.

The state Constitution says, "The governor shall have the power to veto any particular item or items of an appropriation bill, but the veto shall not affect the item or items to which he does not object." The 1940 case apparently wes only test of that section of the constitution. WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM FURN. 530 Monroe St. Judgment Appealed GOLDSBORO, N.C.

Union Says One Worker Goes Back Only one member of the United Rubber Workers returned to the job at the local Goodyear Tire Rubber Co. Pinion yesterday, according to a official.

Danville City Council now is looking at the most ambitious generating venture the city has ever considered a 600-megawatt generator that would handle the city's power needs for the next 30 years. During the early days of this proposal, Adkins suffered an illness which had many people wondering if he would return to work with the city. Complications from an operation before Christmas of 1974 hospitalized Adkins at Duke University Hospital in Durham, N.C. for two months. "People didn't think I'd make it." said Adkins, smiling and admitting "I wondered myself at times.

He returned to the job after several months of recuperation. "I'm thankful just to be here," he says. Danville Mayor Robert H. Clarke, a personal friend of Adkins, said this morning that "Danville is losing the best electric superintendent we ever had." Clarke praised Adkins' knowledge of the system, noting "He knows every pole, light, meter and transformer in the system just like the back of his hand -he put most of them in." Clarke recalled, with a touch of humor, Adkins' delight over installing the mercury vapor lights on Riverside Drive a few years back. They were known as "Berkley's lights" among councilmen.

"He was just as proud as he could be of those lights," said Clarke. "We'd ride in to a meeting and we'd say 'Look at Berkley's lights' we were proud of them, But just because Adkins is retiring, it doesn't mean he'll have nothing to do. There's the family farm out at Sandy River, where Adkins has "the first garden I've grown in 40 years. He's been developing some hobbies which he'll develop a little further after the end of August. "I won't have to worry about those lightning or ice storms anymore," said Adkins.

"But I will worry about them anyway." Townes pledges individual consideration for the needs and wishes of each family it serves. The manner in which this pledge is fulfilled is represented in the entire staff at Townes. Remember the Townes name and the people that stand behind it. F. W.
