‘VRGINA HOUSE REEETS BUDGET Action of Lower Body Threat- ens Adjournment of Assembly. { BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va., March 7.—Led by Delegates Hugh Reid of Arlington County | and J. Fred Birrell of Alexandria, the ..House of Delegates yesterday rejected the conference report on the general! ™ appropriations bill and then unanimously voted confidence in its conferees and re- named them to meet with represent- atives of the Senate. ‘With but two days of the present ses- “'sion left, the. Assembly, as a result of 4 yesterday's action, today found itself in a mucdle that many members fear will | result in continuing the session into| * next week, | In the spirited debate that preceded s'rejection of the report, the House con- ferees were alternately praised for get-| ting concessions from the Senate and | “ assailed for interference with non-con-| troversial items. The vote to reject was 34 to 59. Many in Debate. Many members took part irf the de- bate, the opposition being represented by Reid, Birrell, William Tuck of Hali- fax and J. Vaughan Gary of Richmond and those in favor of adoption by Vivian Page of Norfolk, J. Warren of - Northampton, John W. McCauley of - Roanoke, W. Stuart Moffett of Staun- ~ ton, “Deacon” Snead of Clifton Forge -and E. C. Folkes of Richmond. The report recommended rejection of ' Senate amendments to the general bill and adoption of the measure as passed . by the House with certain amendments submitted by the conference committee. With the amendments submitted by the » conferees the $101,000,000 appropriation * bill would carry a $341,195 increase over the governor's budget recommendation. ~ The salary of C. H. Morrisett, State * tax commissioner, was fixed at $10,000 by the conference, & compromise be- - tween the $8,000 salary voted by the * House and the $12,000 salary voted by = the Senate. Reid's opposition to the report was ~based on the restoration by the confer- ence of the clause specifying that the half-million dollar equalization fund should not be used in any way to in- crease local taxes, Reid having advo- cated the Senate amendment that would have permitted the State board of edu- ecation to require counties to match State funds, while Birrell's objections were based upon the removal of two ap- priations not disturbed by either the ;r:uu or Senate in passing the bill—a $3,500 appropriation for the Co-opera- tive Education Association and a $2,500 appropriation for the State Parent- ‘Teacher Association. L. L. Watts, blind Delegate from Charlottsville, assailed the report placing the nditure of $200,000 for the school for the blind under the State board of education. The commission for the blind, he said, already has its plans for the new bullding. - County Rule Bill Passed. The ' administration bill for the creation of a co;nmmk:n to m-k:ml thorough study of county government, a me“lgure in which every Northern Virginia county is interested, was by the House of Delegates and now goes to the governor for his signature. ‘With but two days left in which to measures that are sponsored or sup- MARRIED 51 YEARS.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. RICHMOND, Va., March 7.—Voicing | (he opinion of many legislators that Virginia will “soon be governed entirely by commissions,” Senator John W. Chalkley of Wise County yesterday at- tacked the resolution of Delegate Hugh Reid of Arlington County to form a commission for the study of a State in- surance fund for the administration of the workmen's compensation act. Senator Chalkley moved that the | resclution be referred to the finance | committee, but this motion was objected | to by Senator George W. Layman of | Craig and action on the resolution was | deferred. | Two More Presented. | Despite this action in the Senate, two Northern Virginia members of the | House introduced resolutions with re- | spect to commissions, Delegate J. Fred Birrell moving the continuance of the commission to work out uniform traffic | regulations between Virginia, the Dis- | trict of Columbia and Maryland, and | Delegate Wilbur C. Hall of Loudoun | offering a resolution to form a commis- | sion to investigate the activities of in- dustrial insurance companies. Both measures were adopted. In explaining his motion, Birrell stated that the Maryland and District of Columbia commissions, who were to | confer with the Virginia body, had not been appointed in time to work out any | definite plans, but that it was hoped | something concrete could be presented | at the next session of the General As- sembly. The commissions are to at- tempt to draft uniform plans for gaso- line taxes and general traffic laws. Senate Creates One. Another commission was created in the Senate, Senator A. P, Staples offer- ing a measure creating a commission to investigate the present division of tax- able subjects between the State and locaiities as to its equity. This measure, which was also adopted by the House, names the members of the commission as the State tax commis- sioner, the director of the budget, the | chairman of the State Highway Com- mission and two members each of the Senate and House. The Senate concurred in House | lmezdmtl;“ls :‘;l the Buchanan tax ex- emption , thus sending the measure | to Gov. Pollard's desk. New industries exempted from local taxation for five years under the bill's provisions must not compete with ex- isting concerns and the governing authority must declare its opinion that increases in taxable values resulting from new indsutry so exempted will more than offset the loss in revenue by exemption. School Play Rehearsed. LEONARDTOWN, Md., March 7 (Spe- cial).—The Washington and Stonewall | Literary Society of the Charlotte Hall | Military School is rehearsing a play en- | titled “Some Crooks Are Gentlemen,” | eeached by Prof. Leslie L. Jones of the | school faculty. It will be given within | three weeks. The proceeds will be used | to remodel the socety room. ‘The great Barrier Reef of Australia, $678,000,000 and for the fiscal year 1930 rted by the members from the north- é’:n part of the State. One of these was the Hall chain-store tax bill, which the Senate after being amended as many as five stores of & e Senate, by indefinite post- ponement, killed the Hall county treas- urer bill, but passed the Reid fire es- cape bill and the Freeman library measures. The bill for the creation of a com- mission to study county government was piloted through the House by Delegate J. Warren Topping of Northampton, Who said it was one of the principal recommendations in the governor's inaugural address and a matter in which he was deeply interested. The measure provides for a con- tinuing commission, which will have as its duty the study of various types to exem) chain. f coun wvernment in use’ through :ht mu?c S’nw:d States as well n‘n Virginia. Chain Store Action. o By adoption of an amendment len{wr Buchanan of Marion the first five stores of a_chain system not be subjected to the extra tax $50 yearly that is provided under | bill of Delegate Wilbur C. Hall Loudoun County. The bill was after the amendment was adopted. In killing Hall's bill to provide that eounty treasurers who hold out tax tickets for their fyiends in order to save them the delinquency penalty be guilty of & misdemeanor and malfeasance in office, the Senate took the stand that the county treasurers are honest offi- cials, that the measure was uncalled for and that it was a reflection on the go— to otticd. fic le who elected the treasurers fore killing the bill the Sen: adopted an amendment cutting out the section referring to malfeasance and cutting the maximum fine from $100 to_810. There was no_objection to_the bill of Delegate L. L. Preeman of Fairfax in- creasing the personnel of the library board from 5 to 7 members so that each district might be represented. Fire-Escape Bill Passed. v The bill of Delegate Hugh Reid of Arlington County making the installa- tion of fire escapes compulsory on frame school buildings bhaving audito- riums on the second floor was D ‘without opposition, as was the Powers bill imposing & State tax of $500 yearly on fortune tellers and clairvoyants. “The famous “cat bill,” which prohib- fted the turning of cats or Kittens Joose along the highways and which had already been passed by the Sen- ate, went down to defeat in the House. Proponents of the measure have never been able to get the majority of the House members to consider the bill seri- ously. The bill had as its purpose the rvation of game, it being claimed t cats are the most dangerous foes f game. 2 A‘mon‘ bills recelving favorable and final action were: The Gilliam bill prohibiting the ob- struction of the view at highway or railroad crossings, the Dey bill extend- ing the “Jim Crow" law to busses, the :xlma bill fixing & penalty for the un- authorized wearing of fraternal insignia, the Denney, bill prohibiting the posting or signs on public property or public highways without a permit from: the conservation and development commis- sion, the Moffett bill creating private timber reserves and deferring tax pay- ments until the timber is cut, the Mof- fett soil survey bill and the bill pro- viding for a commission to study fores- $ry conditions. After amending it to require the in- westigation also of a State system for pensioning judges and State employes, the Senate passed the Dovell bill set- ting up & commission to make a study of the teachers' retirement fund.
