RED INTRODUCES. [." ot 2. SARINETONBLS Redistricting Solution Heldl Near Enough to Permit Local Legislation. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP. Stafl Correspondent of The Star. i RICHMOND, Va.. February 8—Be- lieving that the redistricting problem has reached a point which will per-| mit the introduction of local legislation without endangering the interests cf the eighth district, Delegate Hugh Reid of Arlington County _today _introduced three bills in the House of Delegates. | One of these affects only Arlington | County and Alexandria and the other two, while affecting other counties of the State, are designed for the benefit of Arlington County. The first measure amends the present act providing for the relief of firemen killed or injured while fighting fires in Arlington County or Alexandria, to| bring the police of both jurisdictions | “under its provisions. Firemen's Relief Provided. Under the provisions of an act passed | 4n 1927, the board of supervisors of ! Arlington County the City Coun- cil of Alexandria are authorized to pro- vide financial relief to the families of | firemen injured in the line of duty or to the firomen themselves if they are | only injured. Under the provisions of | the new bill sheriffs, deputy sk policemen and special policemen of the | two Jurisdictions will receive the same Amount of protection accorded firemen. ““For the purposes of this section,” the bill says, k of the Circuit Court of said county and the clerk of the Corporatian Court of said city shall ‘secure. and keep a record of, all legally appointed deputy sheriffs, policemen and special pelicemen in sald county | and city, respectively.” TS Under the present law the jurisdic- tions can turnish o the limited re- lief provided by the workmen's com- pensation act The second bill relieves the comm sioner of revenue of the rsponsibility for actually prosecuting any person or | firm engaged in business without the ! required State license. As explained by the patron, there has been some difficulty in the office ) of the commissioner of revenue in en- forcing the license laws because the present law requires that in the case of violations the commissioner swears out a warrant himself for the violator. Th2 | amendment provides that the comm stoners of revenue shall report viola- tions to the Commonwealth attorneys and that those officials shall hen pro- cure the necessary warrants and prose- cute such cases. i Assessment Correction. The third bill authorizes the com- missioner of revenue to make correc- tions in assessments that he believes | to have been erroneously made. | The redistricting question, coupled | with the economic situation, has re- gulted in the introduction and passage of fewer bills up to this time than at any previous session in the memory of seasoncd legislators here These same conditions are believed to be nsible for the most chaotic condition that has existed in the Gen- eral Assembly since the Civil War cri- sis first losmed upon the horizon. Sea- soned legislators are puzzled by mel‘ divided opinions of their constituents and the new members are said to be entirely “at sea” because of the uncer- tainty of their leaders. 20 TAKEN IN RUM RAIDS AND CHASES Five Cases of Liquor Are Taken in| Six-Mile Pursuit in Prince Georges County.

BY HOWARD M. BAGGETT, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., February 8.—At- torneys for the County Board of Edu- cation and the county commissioners | are now engaged in working out the legal details whereby the county will | P acquire the property of the Rockville | Fair Association on the Rockville Pike at_the southern end of this town at a price of approximately $35.000. THe site will be occupied by the proposed Rockville High School. | As the Fair Association is a public corporation certain legal requirements relieving the county of any further liability after the purchase is made have to be met by the attorneys. but this matter is now being worked out and formal approval of the purchase is eduled to be given by the school oard soon after the money is made available through the sale of bonds by the county next week. The property of the fair association contains approximately 26 acres, and the price to be paid by the county for this land will be just about sufficient for the association to meet its debts which have accumulated over a num- ber of years due to losses in, holding the annual county fairs. The seventy-ninth fair of the asso- ciation, held in 1931, only added to the amount of indebtedness of the fair as- sociation, and it was decided at that time that unless betting on race horses could be allowed the fair was doomed. County authorities were sounded out on the subject of allowing pari-mutuel betting on horse races, and in practi- cally every instance turned a deaf ear to the proposition. Numerous county organizations, including the Montgom ery County Civic Federation, went on record opposed to the introduction of legalized betting. The scheol board considers the fair grounds site of sufficient size to meet the school needs in this vicinity for many years, and to also give sufficient und for the establishment of a well | THE EVED CLERIC UNDER FIRE BACKED BY BOARD Annapolis M.

Clarence M. White, acting chairman | of the official board of the church, | pointing out that he was speaking his | personal views, said: | “Atter all information was gathered | and charges preferred against Dr. Her- son, I find in these charges no founda- tion for his suspension from his pas- torate, and in saying this I have looked at the situation from all angles, and I consider a great injustice has been done Dr. Herson and his family.” Concur in Statement.
