sion form OF government under exist
ing conditions is not explained It
was the understanding during the last
session Of tho Legislature that this
form of administration would be un-
constitutional in Virginia With the
idea Of correcting the situation. an
amendment to the Constitution was
OF the General Assembly. II must
come again before the next Legisla-
turo, and If ratified then will go be-
fore the people.
Amendment Is Proposcd.
This amendment was proposed by the
Virginia League OF municipalities.
which is impressed with the PROPOSE
tion that the present forms Of city
government arc cumbersome and tiu-
wieldy and that change is highly
desirable There was no opposition to
the constitutional amendment. Under
it's provisions the Legislature would
be empowered to provide for forms of
civic government different from those
provided for under the existing organic
Law.
No city could be compelled to adopt
the commission plan, but the General
Assembly would grant this form TO
suci places as had by majority vote
of citizens, expressed desire for the
change.
SO far as is known. no meeting Of
the commission plan people in Clay
Ward has been held, but certain resi-
dents have been asked to become can
didates. The idea may be. it is sug-
gested, TO begin the agitation OF . SEN
timent for the commission plan.
