SUBURBAN NEWS. WATER PONER BIL REPORTED N HOUSE Mothers’ Aid Measure Also Is Approved by Assem- bly Committee. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Btaff Correspondent of the 3 RICHMOND, Va, January 23.— Northern Virginia legislators were suc- cessful yesterday in having two' meas- ures reported from the committee on [m!l'lla laws of the House ;f "Dthllu and are now ready to seek their passage on the floor. The first of these is the bill to create a commission to protect Virginla's interests in proj River water power developme: | sécond a resolution having as its aim | the putting inte effect of the mothers’ | aid act. The proposed water power commis- sion. as explained by Hugh Reid of Ar- lington, one of the sponsors, would be formed for the purpose of negotiating with the Federal Government and the States of Maryland and West Virginia. Study for 30 Years. TFor 30 years, Reid said, the Federal Government has been making a study of the possibilities of various kinds of development along the Potomac River and these plans, because of the geographical situation that exists with ru?u:t to State lines, threatens the exclusion of Virginia in the ultimate Tesult. Virginia, he explained, has no share in the waters of the Potomac because the lines of the District of Columbia and Maryland run to the high-water mark on Virginia's side. The State, however, should be and is intensely in- terested in her shores, Reid declared, for it would be necessary to ecarry the erection.of any dams or other similar construction to Virginia's shores. It « would also be possible for thousands of acres of Virginia soil, hundreds of homes and many miles of highways and | railroads in the State to be completely sul by the erection of certain dams that have been suggested, he ex- plained. 161 Gov, John Gariand Pollard, approval of Gov. Joi arland Pol would consist of highly trained State officials or employes who could make & careful study of the Federal Govern- ment’s plans and be in a position to protect Virginia's interests when the occasion for such action becomes neces- sary. The governor would be an ex- officio- member of the commission and the attorney general ex-officio legal — rod to take ady tage fu kl.:i powe: e advantage of any le or engineering facilities made avail- able by State institutions. Mother's Ald. ‘The mother’s aid resolution, which ‘was offered by J. P. Jones, Richmond, with Reid as co-sponsor, calls upon the doard of public welfare of the State to furnish information as to the ma- chinery needed to put into effect State aid to the counties and cities that have the mother's aid several years purpose of the measure is ulti- mately to procure a State appropriation refundi to the counties and cities one-t| of their expenditures under the bill now on the statute books. While the present law was enacted in 1922, it has been wholly inoperative insofar as the State government is concerned because of a lack of appro- priation. The system of mother’s aid- through local taxation has been applied in only two counties, Arlington and Wise, and one city, Richmond. It has been operative in Arlington since shortly after the passage of the act, but as yet the entire expense has been shouldered by the county. Civic Bodies Active. The organized women voters, various parent-teacher associations and other civic organizations in Arlington County have been long seeking an appropriation that would assist local authorities in the care of th* women and ¢l wl maintenance is dependent wholly or in part upon the county government and are Reid in his attempt to have the necessary funds included in the e State act s for the purpose of preventing the breaking up of homes where the father is dead or incapaci- by making cash sllowances to enable mothers to bring up their dren in their homes instead of confining them in institutions. ty welfare board makes the allowances ‘The eity or coun- | for MRS.
