Virginia Posts Nearly 36 Million Dollar Surplus
Virginia closes the two year period to June 30 with a surplus near 36 million dollars. Governor Almond cites the gain as aiding avoidance of a new sales tax while critics like Byrd call the figure proof against the tax proposal. The surplus, buoyed by increased revenues and reversions, signals a budget context well above early estimates and raises questions about deficits in the 1960 62 biennium.

The city council approved a new zoning ordinance based on the master plan to replace the old code. It divides the city into districts with map boundaries and regulates building use, height, area, and penalties, with a Board of Appeals to handle violations. Taxi fares were raised from 35 to 45 cents for one or two passengers, while larger groups stay at the same rate. Residents asked for a survey on Haddox Row-Chase St. area conditions and an accessibility project. A petition urged shielding certain establishments in residential areas to protect quiet enjoyment. A Retail Merchants Association resolution supported Sunday closing laws as part of the Virginia Code.
