RICHMOND, Va, January 9.—An amendment to the constitution of Vir- ginia whereby the cities would be per- mitted to assess property owners for part of the cost of street improvement; & recommendation that the State high- way commission be empowered to con- struct, reconstruct and maintain roads lying within the corporate limits of cities with & population less than that of second-class cities, and a further recommendation that it is inadvisable to divert any of the gasoline tax now to the cities, comprise some of the major articles in the report of the legis- lative committee of the League of Vir- ginia Municipalities for 1930. Report in Six Parts. 'rhe report, which will be submitted the councils in every city and town in Virginia, is divided into six parts. Part 1 deals with the construction and maintenance of streets and offers a number of recommendations. Section 2 of the report deals with the public schools. Recommendations in this section include a statement that the State department ~of education should be empowered “to establish min- imum salaries and other expenditures for public schools in the counties, cities and towns and to have the State ap- propriate an amount necessary to meet these requirements on a plan of public instruction.” This plan will elevate the standards of education, the report says. It is further proposed that towns which maintain _ their own schools | should be exempt from the county school levy. Section 3 of the report concerns auto- mobile and traffic laws. This section is divided into three divisions. Section 4 concerns taxation, with recommendation that the $1 tax on bank stock, under which provision it is expressly provided that incorporated towns may secure 80 per cent of said amount from banks towns, should not be clude cities. Real Estate Assessments. Real estate assessments should be permitted to be made by the cities, regardless of size or population, ac- cording to their own local ordinances, and such assessments should be re- quired to be made at least every five years, and not oftener than once every two years, the report proposed. Section 5 deals with zoning and city | planning and contains two proposas. First, that the board of supervisors of all countries be empowered to enact zoning ordinances where counties have a x;Iemlty of more than 500 per square Under the title of city planning the report said that “the acts of 1928, page 281, provide for the recordation of plats within three miles of any city only in accordance with the city phn providing the board of supervisor: passes a resolution 'to that effect. n is believed that this should be :mnded to include towns for town propert; within a mile of the corporate limits. Y Section 6 is devoted to miscellaneous objects. It was proposed that deputy clerks of civil justices be given the same power that the clerks have, and that the act which states that any automobile confiscated by the .State be amended so that the automobile can be used not only by the State, but also by the city, county or town. Much money could be saved by the Spection of gasolime, authorised by 1aw, of gasoline, author y law, made Dbefore distribution to the trade. Finally, it was proposed that funds be appropriated to make a survey of the city and town governments of extended to in- the State, and a report of the findings be made to the 1932 General Assembly | not later than three months before its | convenin, | r | Keep several packages of Flako on your pan- try shelf ready for use.

By a Staft Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va., January 9.—The first legislation affecting Northern Vir- ginia in the present session of the Gen- eral Assembly, which convened yester- day, was embodied in a bill that was in- amend the charter of the City of Alexan- dria so as to validate a proposed bond issue of $750,000. The bonds, which have already been | sold to L. E. Smoot of Alexandria, were | tion of a portion of Arlington County and to make certain public improve | il to issue these bonds under the pre: ent charter was questioned by the af | torneys for the purchaser of the bonds charter to meet these objections. Move to Save Time. Senator Ball introduced the bill at the request of Delegate J. Fred Birrell of Alexandria. This procedure was taken in order to save time, as the or- ganization of the Senate was a hold- over from the last term, while in the House it is necessary to reorganize which was expected to take all of '.odly s session. Owing to the fact that the vote for governor will be canvassed in the House tomorrow, serious doubt arose as to whether the bill could be acted upon if introduced in the House prior to Friday. Bills in the Senate must be printed | before reference to committee, whk‘h can be done in time for the passage of the bill in the Senate tomorrow. It will then be immediately transmitted to the House, where it is possible that action may be obtained on Friday. ‘The old charter of Alexlndrll limited the life of bonds to 35 years. The amendment permits bonds for the full life of the improvement on the account of which they are to be issued. The full faith and credit of Alexandria is pledged to the payment of the bonds and full power is granted to levy and collect a tax upon the taxable property of the city sufficient to pay the princi- pal and interest. Make Rush Measure. A rush measure is being made of this | bill, it was explained, because Alex- \undrh must, until the money is avail- able pay the half-million dollars awnrded to Arlington County for the annexed territory, pay interest to the latter at the rate of approximately $100 daily from January 1. Senator Ball, | while a resident of Arlington County | and one of her attorneys in the annex- ation proceedings, has joined with Dele- gate Birrell in an effort to relieve Alex- andria of the payment of this interest as quickly as possible. —_— FALLS CHURCH STUDIES Special Dispatch to The Star.
