Court Test Expected
For New Alexandra
Marriage Ordinance
It's Validity Doubtful,
Virginia Attorney
General Declares
BY stafI Correspondent Of The Star.


ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 13.-A
declaratory judgment from the Cor
poration Court probably will be
necessary to establish the legality
of new marriage law scheduled to
become effective August II, it was
indicated today by city officials.
The new regulation, adopted at
the final summer meeting of the
City Council about two weeks ago,
would require all applicants for mar
riage licenses to supply the clerk of
the court and marrying officials
papers certifying their freedom from
venereal and other communicable
diseases in a contagious stage. The
ordinance, which will become effec-
tive 80 days after publication, ap-
peared as legal advertisement yes
terday.
The possibility that the courts
will have to pass on the regulation
was seen following the receipt of a
letter from Virginia Attorney Gen.
eral Abram P. Staples.
Refrains From Opinion.
"The validity of the ordinance"
Mr.. Staples said, "is probably very
doubtful, unless the charter of Alex
andria confers power upon the City
Council to enact ordinances with
reference to marriages" The attor-
ney general said. however, his Office
has established the policy of refrain
ing from giving opinions on munich
pal and county ordinances.
Mr.. Staples pointed out that If the
clerk Of the court abides by the
ordinance his action might consti-
tute an interference with a State
function, the issuance of marriage
licenses. He suggested that a def
mite method OF establishing its legal
1ty would be for the city to petition
the court for declaratory judgment.
City Attorney Armistead Boothe
pointed out the new law will not
necessarily become effective 80 days
from Yesterday because it contains a
provision that the court clerk and
marrying officials shall be requested
by the city health officer to notify
the said applicants and parties seek
ing to be married of the provision of
this section"
Clerk of the Court Elliott F.. Hoff-
man said today he had not received
such request from the health depart
ment.
Mr.. Staples letter pointed out
that the Alexandria charter would
have to give the City Council powers
to regulate marriages if the ordi-
nance is to be legal. As far as
could be learned the city charter
does not give the council specific au-
thority to regulate marriages.
The ordinance also requires con-
troll OF eating establishments, quara-
tine and other health functions. A
significant regulation is that all ply
sicians attending expectant mothers
be required to conduct two examina-
tions for venereal disease during the
period of pregnancy.
Penalties for violating the ordi-
nance provide for a $100 fine or 60
days Jail term, or both.
