FARFAX VL T VENDINGMAGHINES Supervisors to Demand 0Oath Against Gambling, Effective January 1. Special Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va, December 22.— Imposition of a license on vending | machines in Fairfax County was or-| dered by the Board of Supervisors at | @ special meeting yesterday. The new county ordinance, which becomes,ef- | fective January 1, parallels section 198 of the State tax code, as amended by | the General Assembly. | The new licenses will be issued by the commissioner of revenue, but only after an applicant has stated on oath | that no element of chence enters into | operation of the machine. Likewise the ordinance provides that no li- censee shall permit any person under the age of 16 years to operate a ma- | chine licensed under the provisions of the ordmnance. Any machines coming under the ordinance that are not licensed will be forfeited to the Commonwealth, and the owner sub- jected to a fine ranging from $10 to | $50 for each ofiense. It is provided in the ordinance, however, that nothing shall be con- strued in the resolution as permitting any person to maintain any slot ma- chine or other device ir the operation of which gaming is permitted. Similar fees and restrictions are imposed by the State law licensing such machines on which the county ordinance is hased. The board also decided to discon- tinue work projects financed through Federal Emergency kelief Adminis- tration funds after the expenditure of the January allocation of such funds to the county. After a careful study of the ques- tion, ¢he board decided that in view of the oxcessive rates on compensa- tion insurance covering F. E. R. A. workers, and a lack of county funds | with which to provide the necessary | supervision and materials to carry on | the projects adequately, it would be | best to abandon the work after the January allocation has been spent. | A. W. Petersilia, F. E. R_A. project | engineer, who appeared before the | board with reference to a continuance | of work projects. declared he believed | funds allocated for the coming month | would complete the few projects now underway. It was stated that dis-| continuance of work would probably | ot greatly affect those on relief rolls, | since a number of towns are sched- uled to begin projects after the new | year and should absorb much of the | Jabor now being used by the county. were cited before the board with reference to excessive rates on compensation insurance where the cost of compensation insur- | ance has been as great in a week as the pay roll. | A report was received from the | State Compensation Board that the salaries of the commissioner of reve- nue and county treasurer and their employes have been set for the com- ing year. No action was taken on the report, however, the board decid- ing to wait until its regular January meeting. LEGION GIFTS PLANNED By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

December 22.— State Highway Commissioner Henry G. Shirley, who has advocated that convicts be removed from road work on roads in order to make available Pederal funds for highway construc- tion, says that no change in the sys- tem is contemplated at present. While the question has been causing much discussion, it is pointed out that no change could be made in the method of employing convict labor without an act of the General Assembly, which does not meet in regular session until January, 1936. A Federal fund of $2,500,000 would be available next July for road work, but it could not be used if the State continues to employ convicts in work on the highways. It was this situation that caused Commissioner Shirley to indicate the defects in the system of employing conviet labor and to de- clare that their work upon the roads was a distinct liability to the State..
