Assembly
Retirer1entb Bill
For Arlington
Measure Affecting
Alexandra Project
Put on Calendar

BY Staff Correspondent Of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 30.-Two
measures affecting Arlington County
and Alexandria are awaiting action
by the Virginia Legislature.
Delegate Charles r. Fenwick Of
Arlington introduced a bill to au-
thorize establishment of a retire.
ment system for county employees
and payment of pensions from
county funds, while the Baldwin
Louderback bill authorizing life in
surance companies to finance hous-
ing developments was reported ia
vorably by the Insurance and Bank
ing Committee with amendments
and placed on the House calendar.
Mr.. Fenwick's bill was introduced
at the request of the Arlington
County Board, which recently went
on record in favor of a retirement
system for county employees, but
took no action pending a thorough
study of the cost involved Board
Member Leo Lloyd, who introduced
the resolution for a study OF the
advisability of the system, explained
that pension setup could be in
stituted for policemen under pres
ent laws, but that authorizing legis-.
lation would be necessary in the
case Of firemen and employees Of
other departments
The board voted to seek author
ization from the Legislature so that
the system could be established
without further delay should funds
be available during the next two
years.
An amendment to the Baldwin
Louderback bill written in by the
Insurance and Banking Committee
set a 2,500-family limit on units
OF any project, or group of projects,
within 10-mile radius of cities of
100, 900 or the District of Columbia.
The committee over the protests of
Delegate r. F. Baldwin, jr., of
Norfolk, struck out an emergency
clause which would have made the
bill effective on passage. Mr.. Bald
win said the measure was designed
to make possible immediate devel-
opment of the $1,000, 900 garden
apartment project planned by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. for
Alexandria.
The amended bill received the
support of Delegate Maurice Rosen-
burg, of Alexandria, who reserved
the right to change his position If
amendments were adopted on the
floor of the House materially al
tering the measure as it now stands.

sion, and the county does not have
a record of such vehicles, though
it does receive the assessment. Mr..
Billhimer estimated that there are
about 500 cars and trucks owned
by county corporations.
The increase In the county's pop
ulation during the last 20 years is
illustrated by the fact that the num-
Der of motor vehicles assessed in
194l exceeds the population OF
Montgomery County in 1920, which
was 34.921. The county's present
population is estimated to be in ex-
cess Of $4,000.
Mr.. Billhimer said that motor

to end when motorists discover that
with careful driving and recapping
of tires they can Use their cars
about as usual
Mr.. Wainwright believes gas sale
reduction is national, except in
areas where workers must use cars
to reach defense industries. In Bal
timore. for instance, filling stations
near plane plants are booming, while
those in residential districts stand
idle.
Registration of cars in the Dis
trict for the car registration year
ending April / now stands at 211, ,227.
This compares with 211,089 for the
entire 1910 fiscal year, period more

After a slow start. the Glasgow
Highlander hoop aggregation is now

This is no doubt based on the show
ings made in winning from Butte
Central and Havre last week. They
were impressive. especially after sew
eral members of the local Hot Stove
association had opined that the
Scotties would be lucky to win a
Glass A game this year. They've
already done better than that. But.
Coach Bob Murray will be the first
to say that one swallow doesn't make
a summer. The Glasgow team has
two very stiff tests this week in Wolf
Point and Glendive.
Bill Clark of the AP. on the basis
of returns up to now, looks on Mis-
Missoula, Great Falls, Kalispell and
Butte as contenders for the state
title. In the dark horse class with
Glasgow are Helena, Livingston and
possibly Bozeman. Classified as
trouble makers" are Billings and
Butte Central. while "in the field"
are Miles City, Havre, Sidney, Lew
and Anaconda.
AS of today, Glasgow ranks sixth
in Big l6 standings, with two wins
and one loss.
