CORRECTIONS

An article Friday on Chesapeake's increase in residentially zoned

land mistated the number of approved units in the Ramsgate

development. A February rezoning by the City Council approved about

360 units on about 153 acres.

Chesapeake's population is 188,400, according to a 1996 estimate.

A chart on Wednesday's Public Life page had an incorrect number.

Virginia Beach's real estate tax rate is $1.22 per $100 of

assessed value. A story Friday about the city's 1997-98 proposed

budget contained an error.

The percentage of the 1996-97 Chesapeake budget devoted to

libraries is 1 percent, not 1.9 percent. The figure was incorrect in

a story about library funding on April 8 and in a Commentary book

column on March 2.

CLARIFICATION

A story Thursday about the Pagan River includes a misleading

comment. Keith Lupton, the owner of Pagan River Seafood Company,

says he does not get most of his crabs from the Pagan, but from the

James River.
