VIRGINIA HOUSE COMMITTEE VOTES RUM DSPENSARY PLAN
House Plans to Determine
D. C.-Virginia Boundary

Concerned over the establish
ment of a boundary line, between
the District of Columbia and
Virginia on the South shore of
the Potomac, subcommittee of
the House judiciary committee
today opened hearings in the
old House Office Building.
The first witness was Repre-
sentative Howard W. Smith CD
of Virginia, author Of a bill to
create a commission of three
persons to settle the boundary
dispute. He explained his bill
in detail and offered an historical
resume of the situation.
The problem is an important
one, he pointed out, since it
affects property rights on land
now used by the Government,
Washington Hoover Airport and
the Southern railroad. Much of
this land has been built up un-
officially along the south shore
raising the question whether it
rightfully belongs to Virginia or
whether, because it lies north of
the 1871 boundary, it belongs to
the District.
Smiths bill was approved by
T. S. Settle, secretary and legiSla-
tive adviser to the National

Liberals to Fight for Sale in
Restaurants on Floor of
Both Chambers
By JOHN E. TAYLOR
Times staff Correspondent


RICHMOND, Jan. 25.-After
hours of wrangling over proposed
amendments to the alcohol con-
troll bill, calling for State dis
pensary system, the previously
divided house finance committee
last night unanimously adopted
the bill with few changes. some
of them. however. Of widespread
importance.
:. one of the proposed amend
ments which was defeated was
one advocated by Governor George
c. Peery placing responsibility for
hiring and firing dispensary EN-
ployes on the chairman OF the
board.
The bill was amended to give
circuit court judges discretionary
powers in dislmissing cases now
bending under the aboutrto-be re-
pealed Layman act, the state
bone-dry law. The judges Will
have the power to either dismiss
such cases or try them under the
provisions Of the new act.
State Can Make Liquor
An amendment was adopted CIV
ing the State the right to manu-
facture hard liquor in order 10
hold a club over the head OF
"thieving" distillers in other
States.
Under another amendment, Of
ficers, agents and managers OF
LIQUOR stores are empowered to
make arrests for disorderly con-
duct or for violations Of the act
in or around liquor stores.
The board still retain authority
to fix prices, but this clause, de-
signed to give the board a free
hand in competing with bootleg
gers, was amended to the point
that prices must be in keeping
with the stores overhead.
All funds must be paid by the
board directly into the State treas
ury. and will be disbursed on war
rants.
Wholesale druggists will be al
lowed to buy alcohol from the
State to be sold to retail druggists
in Virginia and other States pro-
vided the latters' laws do not for
bid such shipments. The druggists
will be taxed $50 annually.
Beer Tax Put At $2.75
One of the most important
items is the setting of the excise
tax rate on beer at $2.75 for each
'31-gallon barrel and a l cent
bottle tax.
None of the known liberals" on
the committee fought to amend
the bill to legalize sale of liquor
in restaurants and hotels. This,
they intimated, will be fought out
on the floor of the House and Sen
ate.
However, a battle did ensue
when Thomas ]. Wilson, delegate
from Ais. -l1ny county and the
cI,y - IN -J-Se, Ties to
have -. I'll amended so That
any ga Ued town, uron
petition OF 100 qualified voters,
could hold a referendum to force
placing of a dispensary in the
town. The bill goes to the House
as originally written-that only
towns of $500 or more popula-
ton have the right of local op-
ton. Unless they are of the pre-
scribed population they are con-
sidered part of the county.
He was beaten because other
members of the committee felt it
would be unfair to let the tail
wag the dog" in counties of con-
siderable population which want
ed to be wholly dry but could
not do so because a small town
decided it wanted liquor.
Leaders said they expect to
have the House convene at 10
a. m. tomorrow and expect the
bill to be passed and on its way
to the Senate the same day.

That oft-quoted adage about all
work and no play making dull
people holds no water in the case
of DR.. A. Magruder Macdonald,
who has just been appointed
Coroner of the District Of Co
lumbia.
For the doctor, be it known,
works 18 hours a day but manages,
nevertheless, to keep exceedingly
sharp, as every lawyer who has
ever tried a case before him
knows.
AS he sat on the bench today
in the District morgue, hardly

quets of flowers sent him by
friends, DR.. Macdonald made his

Seeks New Equipment
Demolition of the present struc-
ture on the waterfront and a new,
modern building equipped with a
pathological research department
is the first point on the new
coroner's program.
The" present building is anti
quated, unsanitary, and too small
for the growing needs, the doctor
asserted. If he gets nothing else
during his term as coroner but
a new morgue building, DR.. Mac
Donald will be satisfied, he said.
What with being the District
coroner, physician with large
practice, member of several civic
societies, and secretary of the
Maryland-Virginia and District
Of Columbia Medical Society, DR..
Macdonald has a busy time Of it.

Farm Homes in Need
Of Attention, Survey
By Government Shows

Less than nine per cent of the
farm homes Of the country have
bathtubs, and only seven per cent
have hot running water, the summary
for the first five states reported in
the Farm Housing Survey conducted
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture shows.
Of 359,010 farm homes, only 49,
us, or eight per cent, have indoor
flush toilets. Only $500, or 16 per
cent, have kitchen sinks with drains.
Only ID per cent have electric lights,
and only four per cent have central
heating plant.
The widespread condition of disre-
pair and decay of the farm homes of
the nation is indicated in the sections
devoted to repairs, alterations or re-
placements needed. The survey shows
that 152,07O, or AZ per cent, need new
foundations Or repairs. New roofs
and repairs are needed by As per
cent; exterior wall repairs by SO per
cent; door and window improvements
by A per cent.
In response to the question as to
what improvements would be put in
if $500 were available, zoe, $50, or 81
per cent, said they would spend the
money on exterior walls and roofs.
Thirty-six per cent said they would
spend the money for interior walls,
ceilings and floors, and 20 per cent
said they would spend the money for
foundations and chimneys.
The survey shows the average
number of rooms per farmhouse is
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1934-07-26

Other interesting facts include the
following: women constitute SO per
cent of the total employees in retail
firms which ratio is unchanged for
the two years. The number of en-
ployers increased 16 per cent or six
per cent more than the number OF
stores, indicating many small pro-
prietors replaced employees services
with their own. The average wage
cost for stores increased from 1882
per cent of sales in 1929 to 1851 per
cent in the depression year when
sales tumbled. The cost of doing
business increased in the same way.
The fall in volume was partly due to
lower prices.
Renville county has 329 retail es-
Establishments according to the report,
with 351 proprietors and net sales of
$4,094,000. A average total of BAL
full time employees drew in all $685.
900 while 81 part time workers re-
ceived $4,000. Yellow Medicine coun-
ty has PAP stores, 253 proprietors and
gross business Of $2,076,000. Its
average was 2O3 full time workers.
Together they drew $203,000 while
lao part time workers received $1O,-
900. Both counties had smaller en-
ployment gains during the year.
