Virginia Assembly To Get Two Proposals 0f Redpportionment Bill Would Create New Senatorial’ District In Arlington County By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va. Jan. 10.—At least two plans for re-a| legislative seats among the counties and cities of the State will be pre- sented to the General Assembly, it appeared today, one embodying recommendations of the Fuller Re- apportionment Commission and the other to be sponsored by Senator H. B. Moseley in behalf of rural sections. Senator Moseley said his bill would call for relatively few changes in the present districting. He added that he had been at work en the measure since the Legisiative Re- apportionment Commission, headed by Senator E. R. Fuller of Rich- mond, made public its proposals last August. “The commission's report was not satisfactory to many people in the j rural sections of the State,” Mr. | Moseley said, explaining that the measure which he and certain other | Assemblymen will sponsor will be | much less sweeping in its proposals | and will call for few actual changes in the lines of legislative districts. Separate Arlingten District. ‘The Fuller Commission’s plan, which would re-apportion legisiative representation on a population basis, would increase Richmond’s member- ship in the House of Delegates from six to seven and would make the city of Roanoke and Arlington | County separate senatorial districts. ‘The plan also would reshuffie 27 | existing House districts and 7 Senate ;dlstrlem prineipally by combining | county districts and by increasing | the representation of urban com- | munities of largest growth. | Based on the 1940 census, the commission’s plan would give Lynch- burg two delegates instead of the present one; Norfolk five, as against four at present: Wise and Arlington Counties two each instead of one, and make Roanoke City and Roa- noke County a floater House dis- trict. Six smaller districts would be eliminated by a regrouping of | the two counties in them. Delegate Maurice D. Rosenberg of Alexandria has announced he will seek to have the Fuller Commission’s recommendations modified so0 as to have Alexandria and Fairfax Coun- ties in one senatorial district, in- stead of including Prince William County, as was suggested in the commission's report.
