JARKET BILL DUE FOR STUDY FRIDAY Local Groups May Suggest Favored Sites to Senate District Committee. The Senate District committee was ealled today by Chairman Capper to| meet at 3 o'clock Priday afternoon to | consider the bill to provide for the | establishment of a new Center Market | when the present market, south of Penn- | sylvania avenue between Seventh and Ninth streets, is torn down. | The pending bill would authorize a | total of $1,300,000 for the purchase of | a site and construction of a market elsewhere. The meeting Friday will af- | ford an opportunity to organizations that have considered the question to lay their views before the committee. With the Federal Government making | arrangements to_erect a new Depart- ment of Justice Building on the site of the present Center Market, there is pending in Congress a joint resolution providing for the closing of the market July 1. This resolution has passed the Senate and is awaiting action in the House. The committee also will consider Fri- day the bill recommended by the Com- | missioners to increase the limit of cost | for the proposed Children’s Tubercu- | losis Sanitarium, authorized by the last Congress. SEES BIG BUSINESS IN AUTO INDUSTRY A Tosy picture of business conditions for 1930 in connection with the local automobile industry was_painted last night at a meeting of thé Washington Automotive Trade Association at the Racquet Club. A report to this effect was made by Chester H. Warrington, chairman of the association’s commercial activities committee. Mr. Warrington based his report on the fact that the registra- tion of automobiles in the District of Columbia shows an increase at the present time over last year, and that 350 more used cars have been sold over the same period of 1929. The organization dropped its inten- tion of conferring with the heads of the local traction companies in regard to advertising on the street cars that the use of them would eliminate parking difficulties. It was the sense of the association that the signs on the street cars were omly stating what everybody knew and tiat it was in no way unfair to the automotive industry. It was announced that W. A. T. A. will issue a bulletin to all dealers to familiarize their customers with what may and_what may not be deducted | from the Federal income tax as relating | to automobile ownership. Plans for elim- inating unsafe cars from the streets of the city were otulined in a general way by the traffic committee. Proposed mo- tor vehicle inspection campaigns were discussed by the committe’es chairman, Paul Lum. A final report of the automobile show committee was made by its chairman and director, Rudolph Jose. OFFICER IS INJURED SLIGHTLY IN CRASH Motor Cycle Policeman Roy V.

K.’d by Virginia House. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va, March 4—The necessity for immediate action having been caused by the passage of a joint resolution that no more bills of a gen- eral nature be considered after today, the House of Delegates passed the Reid county government cnabling bill, thereby clearing the cal- endar of that body with respect to legislation specifically affecting the Northern Virginia area. The Senate at the same time passed the bill to provide & new charter for the town of Oc- coquan. By the adoption of the resolution last’ week both houses of the General Assembly limited until today the time for consideration by each house of its own bills, so that the rest of the week can be devoted by the House to the passage of Sepate bills and of the Senate to the passage of House bills. Up to the present time no Northern Virginia bills have been acted upon by both houses. Up to Senate. The passage of the enabling bill, | which was introduced by Delegate Hugh Reid, leaves but one more step to be taken—passage by the Senate—in the general demand in Arlington County for a referendum vote on a change of government. Reid and Senator Frank L. Ball ex- pect no opposition in the Senate. Under the provisions of the bill the voters of Arlington County may, by obtaining the required number of sig- natures, petition the judge of the cir- cuit court to set a date for an election to_determine three questions: First—Whether there shall be a change in the present government. Second—If there is such a change, whether a commission form will be adopted. ird-—If there is such a change, whether a county manager form shall be adopted. Alternative Plan. ‘The alternative, or city manager plan, provides for a like commission which would administer all of the legislative powers of the county, but would function through the city manager. The city manager would appoint all officers and employes, subject to the approval of the council. ‘There is still another exclusive Nor- thern Virginia bill that has passed the House and is now on the Senate eal- , endar, the Reid bill for the creation of a County Court for Arlington County. This bill was by the House on Saturday and should be the first local House bill to be given consideration by the Senate. Another important measure passed yesterday by the House provides for the appropriation of $1,250 yearly to aid in the education of the orphans of veter- ans losing their lives during the World War. The fund will be administered by the State board of education, which may assign &s much as $150 yearly to such orphan desiring a college education, the educational institution to furnish free yesterday | Since there was not a | dissenting vote in the House, Delegate | By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va., March 4—"“Pass- to the Senate, the House | of Delegates erday passed both the Hall bill providing a new method for | the pensioning of school teachers and | the Dovell bill setting up a commission |to make a study of the question of | teachers’ retirement. Since passage by | the Sena‘e of either of these bills would | remove the necessity for the other, it |is now up to the upper body to decide, the House having washed its hands of | the affair.

Dovell, chairman of the appropriations committee, while Hall, in turn, led the fight against the Dovell bill for a <commission to study '.h; qursduon. n advocating the pa: of the measure, Hall stated thl!“:h': old sy: tem had broken down and that im: diate steps should be taken to protect in their old age the “most patriotic citizens we have.” “When we commit this State to a liberal arts college for women,” Hall declared, “it is high time we do some- thing for our teachers.” Dovell declared that if t; retirement act had broken |the fault of the teachers themselves | and not of the General Assembly. “That |is their own bill, prepared by them, |he said, “and the General Assembiy | | took them at their word when they said | | that it would benefit them to the ex- | tent they sought. | “There is no more reason to pension | the teachers than there is to pension | the farmers, or older members of the | General Assembly,” Dovell declared. Supporting his bill for a commission to make a study of the question, Dovell id that the appropriations committee ad approved an item of $63,000 to care for the deficit existing in the pres- ent fund and that this would prevent the cutting off of pensions of teachers who have retired until the commission could report in 1932, Two other pension bills, one for judges of corporation and circuit courts, never reached the voting stage.
