House Committee
Fails to Approve
Charter Changes
Passes Measure Without Rec
ommendation While Senate
Committee Adopts Bill BY
Unanimous Vote.

Refusing to follow the example OF
the senate committee on counties. i
cities and towns, the companion COM
mittee OF the house of delegates yes
terday afternoon. after more or less
discussion, relieved itself of the Rich
mond charter changes bill and sent
It TO the floor of the house without rec
lonmen dation.
Yesterday morning the senate COM
mittee. without a dissenting voice sent
the bill up with It's approval and rec
onmendation.
|, Not SO the house committee. After
animated discussion. and after several
votes had been taken on procedure
the committee at the suggestion OF a
member passed the buck" and for
warded the bill without comment
COMMITTEES Is Divided.
A proposition was made TO table
until the attorney general had given
his opinion on the measure: another
susg ~stion was made to defeat the
bill and still another effort was made
20 recommend II for passage. AL
were voted down, ana the committee,
finding itself hopelessly divided. just
showed it along,
This means, OF course, that when
the bin gets recognition on the floor
there will be some animated debate.
1t Is hoped by Interested persons that
the opinion OF the attorney
requested by Floor Leader Willis, may
be in hand before action on the bill
is taken. 1t is commended that action
on the part OF the Legislature on a
measure such as this ia unconstitu-
tionai; that the question is on the
amendment OF the charter. and that
on such there can be no referendum.
Some have gone so far as to say that
favorable action would be unprece-
denied Others say that failure to
pass the bill would be nprecedented.
Al any rate, 1t is quite evident that
the house committee, tn its action. has
transferred 10 the floor those inter
csting moments.
Gloom Changes into Joy.
Following the few hours OF gloom
which enveloped members of the adj
ministrative board after the senate
committees action had been learned.
hope and Joy spread broadcast in their
midst, upon news from the house
committee room.
Both the senate and house bills will
be at the bottom OF the calendar. II
is not known when they will be In
tected into the rnaelstrom of debate.
The petition people are paying little
attention TO any action by the legis-
lature. They feel that they have suf-
dcient number OF votes to defeat the
proposed charter when il gets TO them,

The amendment directing THAT half

from the state under the present law.
