SENATOR w. L. ANDREWS,
Fourth Senatorial District.
From the agitated currents of
opinion that are abroad in the State
now; the approaching session of the
general assembly of Virginia will
be one of the most important of

that, among the many questions to
be considered, will be the following:
A large bond issue for roads.
Re-districting the State.
The reinstatement of the State
prohibition department.
More drastic compulsory educa.
ton.
The question Of removing the
Medical College from the University
of Virginia to Richmond.
The filling of vacancies in the
court of appeals and various cir
cults Of the State.
A variety of legislative enact
ments desired by the feministic
bloc.
The revision of tax system.
Legislation looking to the develop
ment Of Hampton Roads.
Advocates Insurance Revision.
SENATOR G. w. LAYMAN,
Seventh Senatorial District.

issue, sufficient to continue the road
building for two years, until the

Generally speaking, it is my
opinion that the hardest contests
before the legislature at the COM
ing session will be:
First, the location Of the COM
bined medical college; second, the
matter of the bond issue for roads;
third, school legislation In gen.
