_—— THE_SUND AY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., MARCH 2, 1930—PART ONE. : B—3 'THRFAX OFFICIALS FIGHT POLICE BILL Measure Transferring Road Officers Presented Without Their Approval. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va, March 1.—The bill | introduced in the State Legislature this week by Delegate L. L. Freeman trans- ferring control of the trafic police of Fairfax County from the jurisdiction of the board of supervisors and high- way engineer to the sheriff was pre- pared without consultation with local officials, it was declared today. The first news that such a measure was under consideration was given in The Star’s dispatch from Richmond. This is the same proposition that was submitted to the Legislature two years 880 by Delegate H. E. Hanes, who acted at that time at the request of Sheriff E. P. Kirby. ‘The bill was killed almost as soon as presented two years ago, the opposition of supervisors, county officials and members of Lh!“ road police being unanimous to such consolidation. W. F. P. Reid, chair-| man of the board of supervisors, stated | this morning that he was surprised | that the measure had been revived, and he was confident that the mem- | bers of the board of supervisors were still unanimously opposed to such a transfer and would take appropriate action to block the passage of the bill at one of their meetings next week. Heywood Durrer, captain of the road police, started that he had not been consulted, was not in favor of the pro- posed change and would do all he could to prevent the amalgamation of the two forces. He stated that the road police, who work on a salary basis, not on the fee system, were by the supervisors || on appointment by the court to police the roads, and that if transferred to the sheriff’s staff they would be re- quired to serve papers and hunt for || in which prop- || stills, leaving no time erly to police the highways. Commonwealth's Attorney Wilson M. Farr stated that he had not been con- sulted before introduction of measure.
