VIRGINIA aEAcH BILL.
TO PERMIT COUNTY TO EXPEND
MONEY FOR IMPROVE
NIENTS


Readers OF The yirginian- Pilot are
familiar with the efforts of property
holders at Virginia Beach to secure the
expenditure Of some portion Of the
money they pay for taxes for much
needed improvements at Virginia
Beach.
The improvements most needed are
board walks and roadways, the latter
of which are especially needed. The
county has steadily refused to pay for
such improvements, Notwithstanding
the large sums paid in taxes by the
real estate owners at the Beach, hence
these residents have not only paid taxes
for which they received little or no
benefit, but had to make such improve
ments as were absolutely imperative at
their own expense.
The supervisors advanced many ar
guments to sustain the refusal of
money for beach improvements, one of
which was that there was no authority
for such expenditures.
In order to meet this objection and
others bill has been prepared and
was sent to Richmond Monday for in
production III the State Legislature.
This bill makes 1t permissible for the
county of Princess Anne to spend a
portion of It's revenues for public i'm
provements at Virginia Beach.
1t is understood that a harmonious
understanding has been reached be-
tween the Virginia Beach property
owners and the supervisors. and that
tho latter Will act under the new bill
after it takes effect and spend q por-
ton Of It's revenues on the improve
ments desired by residents at Virginia
Beach.
This will probably be a satisfactory
settlement of the matter. as, if such an
agreement had not been reached, the
residents would have seriously consid-
cred the matter of Incorporating Vir-
ginia Beach as village, and considera-
bic expense would have resulted in the
maintenance of a village government.
