Another man who fell afoul of the
liquor law last night was Fred Cook,

negro, who dropped the jug on the

CITY CHARTER I.
BEING SOUGHT;
BY CLARENDON
Citizens Association Moves to
Amend Application for Town..
ship Status.

CLARENDON, Va, Dec. IA de-
termined effort will be made by t1e
Clarendon Citizens Association 20
have Clarendon Incorporated as q
city, instead Of a township, as is now
contemplated In a petition before the
Virginia supreme court. The court
will hear the case next month.
At the last meeting Of the citizens
association II was decided II would be
far better 10 have the petition
changed to one asking for a city
charter. -inasmuch as the community
would then have to pay I'd county
taxes. 1t is necessary to have a popD-
lation OF 5000 in the boundary lines
Of a given community before city
charter can be granted in this State.
With this I'm view the citizens'
association Is taking a census OF
Clarendon and its environs to ascer-
tain just where the boundaries would
have to extend in order to gain the
charter.
A. T.. Payne, chairman Of the
census committee, said at the meet
ing that he had talked with many
residents in territory surrounding
Clarendon and that they had approved
the move to have Clarendon extend
it's boundaries in order to gain the
requisite population. Leading citizens
of Fort Myer Heights and Rosslyn
were especially pleased with the
move, Payne declared. "a
Payne said he believed most o. ths
rearby sections would be glad to be
embraced In the move because of the
neglect of the cSyynty supervisors ~
making needeterovements. AZ
nearly every fe,4 meeting OF the
Clarendon Association the supervisors
have been assailed for their lack OF
interest in this section and also for
the alleged defiance of the law in fafiz
ing to render report on disburse-
ments and expenditures.
At the last meeting, President Tays
lor, j. Thomas Manning and Fred h
Sharp all attacked the supervisors.
President Taylor was especially ve-
hement in his remarks.
I'm all my life I've never seen suoas
a gross piece of civic mismanagemert
as exists in our community" he de-
clared 1--WE not only do not get any
improvements, but the men who have
charge of our civic work--the county
superyisors-openly defy the law by
refusing to render US a report on
where our money goes to. In the last
five or six years our taxes have been
doubled, but we have not received
single increase in improvement"
1t also was voted by the association
to make q concerted fight for lower
gas rate in Clarendon. 1t was pointed
out that Washington and other cities
have been given substantial cuts in
gas rates, while those at Clarendon
and it's environs remains the same.
II. c. Saffell said prices of coal and
other ingredients from which gas Is
manufactured have decreased at least
SO per cent from war levels.
