SUBURBAN NEWS. NEW GAS TAX PLAN BEFORE ASSEMBLY Still Another Basis for Dis- tribution Presented by Delegate Bryant. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va. January 27.—Still another basis for distribution of the counties’ share of the State gasoline tax will be offered the Virginia General Assembly today when Delegate L. A. Bryant of Pitsylvania County will in- troduce a bill distributing the 13%-cent share one-third by area and two-thirds by the last Federal census. On this basis, Delegate Bryant said yesterday, 60 counties gain over their present fig- ure, 6 remain approximately the same and 34 lose. The plan recommended by the Holt Commission, one-third on the present basis of the 1925 State realty tax paid and the other two-thirds on a combi- natjon basis of area and all taxes paid, would result in 63 counties gaining and 37 suffering. « Allman Co-patron. On the Bryant bill as co-patron is Delegate J. B. Allman of Franklin County. The sponsors of the bill say that the elimination of the tax element would wipe out any chance of counties raising assessments to get more of '.he. $3,000,000 estimated as the counties share of the gasoline money. Under the Holt Commission plan all the more prosperous counties save Nor- folk County were slated to take a loss over the present receipts. Norfolk County would more under the resent plan, § 3 from the $61,000 K!'. year to approximately $124,000, but for a provision of the bill stating that no county. shall receive over $100,000 and that all surplus shall go to equalis- ing shares received by poorer counties under the Bryant bill. Counties with suburban territory that are likely to lose_area by annexation will be protected, Delegate Bryant said. In computing population by counties provision is made, where a city of 100,000 or more that is located in two counties, to credit half the city popu- lation to each county. Cities of 25,000 to 50,000 are provided for similarly and in other cities and towns the. whole population will be credited to the county wherein it is located. Under the bill, Delegate Bryan said, no county will receive during the first year of operation, 1931, less than 85 cent of the present allocation. In 'p.:: event that any county falls below the minimum set, the deficit shall be rld out of the motor vehicle tax fund, it was explained. Must Employ Engineer. The bill further provides that counties receiving $30,000 or more under this plan must employ a county road en- eer. .“éounues receiving from $15,000 to $30,000 shall employ a road foreman, under the bill, which provides also that where there are two counties receivi an aggregate of from $15,000 to $30,0 they may employ jointly a foreman or engineer, to be compensated by the counties on a proportionate basis. En- rs or foremen shall be employed y the boards of supervisors affected. A general advisory engineer also would be provided in the highway depart- ment to advise and co-operate wi county authorities in road construction and maintenance. i Delegate Bryant's estimates of rev- enue were made, he said, on the basis of figures from the State controller’s office. The gas tax distribution plan and the Liberal ‘Arts College for Women pro- posal are expected -to be the chief points of contention in the General Assembly during the next two weeks, it ‘was indicated yesterday. et ST.

VIRGINIA ELEGTORS T0 BE DISTRIBUTED Resolution to Be Introduced, With Governor’s Approval, for This Purpose. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of the Star. RICHMOND, Va., January 27.—Fol- lowing a conference with Gov. John Garland Pollard, who approved the measure, Delegate J. Fred Birrell of Alexandria will introduce a resoiution in the House of Delegates looking for @ division of the presidential electors of Virginia in proportion to popular vote., he announced today. Birrell woujd discontinue the present gl’lcll.!l of having all electors in each tate elected in one block and of hav- votes of these electors all cast for the presidential candidate who re- ceives the largest number of votes. It is not p under the resolu- tion_ for imm te action by Virginia alone, but requests that the matters be brought yp at the governors' con- ference next Summer, with a view to concerted action by a number of States. Under the Federal Constitu~ tion, the .right to say how electors shall be chosen is reserved to the legis- lators of the respective States. Birrell's idea is that there would be some ublican electors from the Democratic States and a large number of Democratic B of their individual electors from the Re- in the last presidential tion, the Hoover ticket received but a little over half of the votes of and yet, the votes of all 12 of the electors were | dus cast for the Republican ticket. Birrell belleves that if one State would lead off in this movement, quite a number of others would immediately follow and the practise would soon be- come universal, BOY STUDENT RELEASED IN ANNAPOLIS CASE Held on Charge of Hitting Chum With Brick, He Is Admitted to Bail.

RICHMOND, Va., January 27— Holding the first court of the school session for violators of the State com- pulsory education law, 24 offenders t the statute in Albermatle 211'0 with costs were imposed. Most of e violators were dismissed with a warning when they promised to observe the law in the future. sx'.xgt. Bennett stated that a majority of those haled into court were sum- moned only after they had disregarded @ notice to appear before him to dis- cuss the circumstances of the offense. Twe convictions came as a result of habitual tardiness on the part of pupils. ‘The superintendent declared he felt the county school board's policy of :gtd enforcement of the compulsory lucation law had met with success to & large degree and the number of violators was comparatively small. The main-excuses offered by parents for the delinquency of -their children were lack of parental control, claims that they “started the child and he did not go,” and claims that the child was sick, when evidence showed the contrary. A total of 18 cases were brought be- fore Mayor B. L. Haymakers at Christ- iansburg, Va., Saturday, involving vio- lation of the school attendance laws.
