MEASURE PASSED
Virginia Legislature Also
Presses Firemen's Relief
and Finance Supervision.

BY q stan Correspondent OF me star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 23.-Despite
the pressure of business at the special
session of the general assembly called
to consider the proposed reorganiZa-
ton of State procedure, many pieces
of legislation of interest to Arlington
County and other counties near Wash
ington are being pushed through the
Legislature. None of them has gone
the fun route as yet, however.
General bills. affecting the State as
a whole are barred at this session. ex
cept by approval of three-fourths of
the members of the two houses, but
local legislation is UNRESTRICTED and as
a result many bills of that sort are
being hurriedly brought up and passed
by one house or the other.
Zoning Bill Soon to Pass.
Arlington County's all-important zon-
ing bill was passed by the Senate to-
day. A measure providing relief for
volunteer firemen injured in line of
duty has been reported from commit
tees and is expected to go through the
Senate without opposition in the next
day or so.
Another bill of vital interest to Ar
lington County. amending the State
constitution so as to provide for more
was introduced in the Senate yester-
day afternoon by Senator Frank l..
Ball of Arlington County, with the
approval of Gov. Byrd.
AT the same time, in the other house,
Delegate Wilbur G.. Hall of Loudoun
County put through, virtually without
opposition. joint resolution directing
the State Tax Commission to ascertain
If public service corporations in Vir-
ginia are paying their fair share of
the taxes. State and local
Delegate Hall declared on the floor
that the railroads of the State are not
taxed sufficiently, and he asserted
later. off the floor, that such an inves-
ugation in Arlington County would
disclose that the railroads operating
there, including part of Potomac
yards. should be paying that county
considerably more money than at
present.
Senator Balls amendment relating
90 county finances is considered by
Gov. Byrd as very important meas
ure. Contrarys to the recommends
tions of the Arlington County Civic
Federation. the amendment does not
provide for semi-annual statements,
but calls for much more comprehen-
siye and exacting annual financial
SIdtcUlSflLS DE cOLHllGS.
Duty Imposed on Supervisors.
Under the amendment the board of
supervisors of the county must pre-
pare by April 80 of each year budget
containing a complete itemized and
classified plan of all proposed expendi-
lures and all estimates. and must sub
NIT this statement to the State bu-
reau of the budget for approval. The
amendment is expected to be reported
from committee sometime this after
noon.
The public service probe proposed
by Delegate Hall would embrace all
corporations doing business in Vir-
ginia as public utilities, but it is aim
ed directly at the railroads. The Tax
Commission would have to report its
findings to the 1928 Legislature, which
body would determine the corpora
tions, individually or by classes, that
are paying a fair proportion of taxes
