CITIZENS ARGUE
FOR ANNEXATION
Committee Hears Richmond's
Side of Question-Omcials
Present.
Legal Array for Henrico and
Chesterfield Appear to De-
fend Bill-Hearing Carries
Over to Thursday.

Several prominent citizens of the
city of Richmond testified yesterday
afternoon before the house commit
tee on counties cities and towns, when
that committee met in the cham Der
of the house of delegates to consider
the Wendenberg-Gun bill, prohibit
ing cities from annexing more than
Is per cent of the taxable value of a
county. This bill. drawn principally
to stop the annexation of new terri
tory proposed by a recent ordinance
of the city council, was roundly
criticised by the citizens. who declared
1t would do much to hurt the growth
OF the city.
The county of Heiirico and the
county of Chesterfield, the two claim
ing to be hurt by the annexation,
were represented by Attorneys Harry
Smith. Throckmorton and Richard
Byrd, These lawyers cross-examined
several OF the witnesses during their
testimony, especially striking at the
city officials, when they advocated the
plan. Messrs. Charles b. Meredith.
George c. Gregory, Ben r. Owen.
George Z. Wise and James Louis An
derson were among the citizens who
spoke, while George S. Crenshaw.
city auditor and George E. Bowling,
city engineer. spoke for the city.
Outline Is Described.
Mr.. Bowling outlined briefly the
property proposed in the new annexa-
ton plan, showing how the city could
take care OF the property and what
had been done in the acreage preW-
-ausly- annexed -CrenshaW. went
into the details OF financing the inn
provements Of the new district. and
also told of the wonderful amount OF
good the recently annexed sections had
derived from the city
The gentlemen who spoke for the
city, denounced the bill as being abb
solutely absurd. declaring the matter
was now In court and that to bring
1t to the legislature WAS a farce. They
said that Richmond was growing al
such n rate that 1t was necessary to
annex more land in order to lesser
| the congested living conditions for the
health of the city at large.
The Fight In the Court.
The fact that the property adjacent
/, to the city in the counties was valu-
able. was due directly to the city Itself
and that should this so-called highly
valuable property be taken in. II
would only be short while before
the property adjacent to that would
Increase as before.
Each man was positive in his as
| sertion that the matter should be
fought out in court and not be brought
before the general Assembly. The
| hearing occupied nearly two hourt
and was continued until Thursday
morning ut 9:10 o'clock, when repre-.
sentatives from other citier ana -oun.
