ASSEMBLY LOCKED ON BUDGET BILL Senate Rejects House Amendments and Threatens Delay in Adjournment. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The RICHMOND, Va, March 8.—Upon adjournjng last night the Senate and House of Delegates were in a deadlock over the budget bill for the coming blennium that today threatened to carry the present session over its reg- ular time, which is ended today. ‘While deadlocked over the budget bill, however, the remaining legislation rtaining _strictly to the Northern irginia area was completed by both Houses, with the exception of minor amendments to the two Arling- ton County enabling bills, both of which were to be returned from the Senate t0 the House today for concurrence on the amendments. Deadocked on Two Bills. ‘The Assembly is at the present time deadlocked on two bills, the most im- portant of which is the budget measure ;{‘Ad the other the Hall chain-store tax il Difficultics over the budget bill started the first of the week when the Senate made a general increase in nearly all salaries over the amounts as passed by the House. When the bill was returned to the lower body concurrence in the amendments was refused and a con- ference committee appeinted. The report of this committee was made Thursday, the conferees having reached a compromise agreement of $10.000 for Tax Commissioner Morrisett and disregarded most of the Senate's other salary raises. The House refused to accept the report, the principal ob- jection being based upon the elimination of $3500 for the Co-operative Educa- tion Association and $2,500 for the State Parent-Teacher Assoclation and recom- mendations were ;returned to the con- ference committee. ‘When the session opened yesterday morning the House received a letter from Gov. Pollard in which he said that he desired Mr. Morrisett’s salary left at $10,000 as recommended, claiming that his position was one of the most important in the State government. Vote to Accept Report. As a result of the governor's letter and after the items for the education and parent-teacher associations had been reinstated by the committee, the House voted, 57 to 36, to accept the report and the amended bill was sent to the Senate. Almost at once the measure again struck opposition, many of the Senators objecting to the amendment of certain provisions of the bill that had been passed by both houses without contro- Vers; ‘The fight against the measure in its present form was led by Senators Layman, Early and Barron, who were assisted by a ruling of Lieut. Gov. Price to the effect that the committee had no right to consider non-controversial matters. As a result of this ruling the Senate voted to reject the measure and it was again sent to the committee. ‘The committee recommended additional appropriations of more than $500.000 over the original budget of $101,000,000. The other measure upon which the two bodies have failed to agree is the bill of Delegate Wilbur C. Hall of Lou- doun County imposing an extra tax of $50 on all but the first store of chain ! systems. The Senate amended the measure to exempt five stores from extra taxation and the House refused to accept the amendment. When the Senate again refused to accept the measure in its original form a confer- ence committee was appointed. ‘With slight amendments the Senate yesterday passed the two enabling bills of Delegate Hugh Reid of Arlington, one for a vote of the citizens of that county on incorporation and the other on an election to determine upon either the commission or county manager forms of government. At the same time the House passed the bill of Senator Frank L. Ball setting up a Northern :{fl'flh}h i}flrk aam;l Ph'i'x;mg Commis- on for Alexandria, Arlington Count; and a part of Fairfax County. o Reassessment Bill Passed. After the defeat of a number @&mendments to except various eounu:s'. the House passed the Buchanan reas- sessment bill, accepting only the com- mittee amendments that will exclude Arlington, Fairfax, Henrico, Chester- fleld and Elizabeth City Counties. The bill does away with periodical Bssessments, putting the task of deter- mining real estate values in the hands of boards of equalization in the counties, but providing for a four-year reas- sessment in cities of over $25,000. Ar- bt , Fairfax and the counties ad- Joining Richmond and Norfolk were given the same privileges as cities be- cause of the rapid change in their taxable values. The bill relieves the commissioners of revenue of all of the counties of the task of reassessment, a g;xtlyggulven them by the reorganization ‘The Senate passed the House bills n- creasing the speed limit from 35 to 45 miles an hour; the bill of Delegate L. L. Freeman of Fairfax to provide for the financial relief of volunteer fire- men killed or injured in action; the Freeman bill permitting a referendum Yote on amending the charter of the town of Fairfax; the Reid bill setting HE a county court to abolish all jus- tices of the peace and take over “the duties of the trial, domestic relations and juvenile courts of Arlington Coun- ty; the bill of Delegate Freeman to transfer the police force of Fairfax County from the highway superintend- ent to the sheriff’s office and many other last-minute measures, % Fee Bill Adopted. he Senate passed a bill prohibiti Btate motor cycle polxumenp!ror:iclgls lecting fees for administration of the hibition laws, and immediately there- after the House passed a resolution call- ing upon the director of the legislative drafting bureau, which was re-estab- lished at this session by a bill of Sena- tor Prank L. Ball of Arlington, to make an investigation of the State fee 8ys- tem as it pertains to the operation and enforcement of the criminal laws and Teport to the 1932 General Assembly. The resolution was offered by Dele-~ gate Charles W. Crowder of Richmond, Who declared that the “criminal law is now used to collect revenue. Revenue should be raised by taxation and not by setting a price on every man’s head.” Delegate Reid objected to the investiga- tion being made by the head of the legislative drafting bureau, claiming that it should be made by the offi attorney general, o s COUNCILMEN ELECTED.

BY GEORGE PORTER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., March 8. —Incorporated towns in Prince Georges County have the authority to pass on applications for building permits befcre the county issues them, according to the interpretation placed by lawyers in the case, on a ruling of the circuit court in sustaining a demurrer in mandamus proceedings brought against the county commissioners as a result of their refusal to issue a permit to the Penn Realty Corporation. Permit Refused. The corporation applied for a permit to erect a gasoline station at Montgom- ery avenue and the Baltimore boulevard, in Laurel, on June 23, 1929. The permit was refused following a hearing on September 17, at which a number of residents of Laurel objected to the pro- posed station. Claiming the commissioners sat in a ministerial capacity only in such cases, and had no discretion in the premises, rd Duckett, attorney for the aj licant, instituted mandamus proceed- B ‘;nlnn the commissioners on October 7. M. Hampton Magruder, at- torney for the commissioners, demurred to the petition and his demurrer has been sustained by Judge Joseph C. Mattingly. Magtider points out that the action ot the court removes the case from the county commissioners’ office and puts the issue up to the town of Laurel. Ac- cordingly, the Penn Realty Corporation has filed application for a permit with the town authorities. Stirs Move for Code. According to Duckett, the effect of the ruling of the court in the case is that the officials of corporated towns, such as Laurel, which have local ordiLances governing the is- suance of building permits, will pass on applications first for the county com- missioners and then as representatives of the town.
