Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. ALEXANDRIA, Va. January 3.—An amendment to the charter of this city s to be asked in a bill to be introduced in the State General Assembly at Rich- mond Thursday to give the city the right to issue bonds under its own charter for any lawful municipal pur- e. A resolution calling on State Senator Frank Ball and State Delegate J. Fred Birrell, representing this district and’| city, to present such a bill and work for its spredy passage was passed by the City Council at its meeting held in the council chamber here yesterday afternoon. City Rights Are Cited. Under the present arrangement the city only has the power to issue bonds on the authority granted it by the State and not by right of its municipal charter. The question of this authority arose with the issuing of the $750,000 bonds for reimbursing Arlington County for the public improvements in the | annexed territory and for public im- provements and funding purposes, the city having extended the time period for repayment of these bonds beyond that allowed by the State.

BALTIMORE, January . 3.—Ac- cording to Automobile Commissioner Baughman's records, there are still 100,000 Maryland cars without 1930 tags. Baughman's records showed 210.- 038 sets of 1930 tags had been given out when the office closed Tuesday night. There are, it is estimated, 330,000 machines in Maryland. Although, according to records, the tag distr bution is 19,000 ahead of last year, the total issued thus far would leave approximately 120,000 cars without new tags. Baughman said 15,000 sets of ap- plication blanks had been returned this year, because of wrong addresses.

It cause A&P is offering y those food be- and home needs you use regularly at prices which make for consistent savings. During the past seventy years of successfully supply- ing food to a nation, A&P has grown from one small store to a huge organization of over 15,000 stores, the largest cash food business in the world. This tremen- dous business of A&P’s is operated on a cash bas only. A&P buys for cash and sells for cash. A&P’s customers do not have to pay for those “credit losses” which are usually added to the cost of purchases made by patrons of charge stores. That our policy has enjoyed an unprecedented success is vividly shown by the fact that there are over 5,000,000 daily customers taking advantage of our amazingly low prices. If you are resolving to make ‘every penny count’” during the coming year, we invite you to compare our prices with those you have been accustomed to paying elsewhere! You will be quickly convinced that at A&P Food Stores you receive the utmost for your food-dollar. terday in its second special budget ses- sion voted to ask the board of super- visors to levy a 90-cent county-wide tax for school expenses during the year from July 1, 1930, to July 1, 1931.

May Relocate Road. It would be possible to relocate the road and continue oparation, but rail- road offigials have deemed it advisable to_discontinue it entirely, due to bus competition and the additional competi- tion which the new road will bring.
