THE PROOF IS IN THE ANNEXATION
BILL.

Residents OF Richmond suburbs now
in Henrico County complain that the
county supervisors do not spend FOR
porticnate amount OF the taxes paid
by them. Strong evidence of tho Jus.
tlcc OF this complaint may be found
In the Wendcnburg antinnnexation
bill, which prohibits n city from annex.
Ing Mt one time more than 25 por cent
OF the taxable value OF county. If
the complaint of tho suburban resi-
dents werc not truc II would DO diff
cult to understand why tho rest Of
the county OF Honrico should be
anxious for its passage.
The county wishes tho wcndenourg
bill passed because that portion OF tho
county not annexed will lose when so
much Of Its tnxpaying territory is an.
nexed to Richmond. Tim, is admitted
In fact, It Is tho foundation areumon,
OF the patrons OF the bill. But why
Will tho rest OF the county lose? If the
rest OF the county pays Tor Its i'm
provcmonts out OF its taxes, what diff
ference does Il make 60 the citizens
that another portion OF the county,
which also pays for Its improvements
out OF its own taxes, is annexed 10
uciEhborinG city2 Tho answer IS that
improvements are not made In every
district proportionately to the amount
Of taxation derived therefrom The
answer is that certain portions OF Hen
rico County pay out moro TO the county
than they receive In tho form OF i'm
provements. and that other districts
pay out less in ta1cs thap they receive
In return. II the suburbs did not pay
into tho county treasury moro than
they receive, the outlying portions OF
tho county would not be the losers
when the suburbs wero annexed to
Richmond. Blu, they are the losers.
for the suburbs do pay more Hence
the Wendenhurg annexation bill II
tho wendonburg bill passce. many Of
the citizens OF the suburbs will be tho
losers, for they will be forced 10 con-
tinue TO pay moro than they receive
Hence their opposition to the bill
II VIII be no dificult mattor, we
think. for the members OF the General
Assembly TO determine which OF these
two bodies of Henrico citizens have the
Just complaint.
