Virginia Weighs Move
OF State Prison Farm
To Powhatan County
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va. Nov. 23.-Sena-
tor A. E. S. Stephens of the State
Board of Corrections said yesterday
there is strong possibility the
State Prison Farm, subject of a
current investigation on charges of
irregularities in management and
unfit conditions. may be moved
across the James River from Gooch-
land County to Powhatan County.
The main buildings are now on
the north side of the river, al
though a portion of the farm is on
the south side.
Senator Stephens said the Gooch-
land buildings are antiquated and
that if the main body Of the farm
can be moved to the Powhatan side,
the old buildings may be used for
storage or some such purpose.
One hitch, Senator Stephens said,
would be the matter of land. The
State has owned the Goochland
property for many years and by
careful cultivation it has attained
a high degree of productivity. Most
Of this land probably would be sold
and Powhatan land would have to
be purchased, he said.
Senator Stephens characterized
the Powhatan soil under considera-
ton as "old and broken down" in
comparison to the present 400
acres comprising the present State
farm setup.
Inadequacies Of the present build
tngs were reported at the two-day
hearing on conditions at the farm,
in which inmates testified to cruelty,
insanitary conditions. poor heat,
poor food and other alleged irreg-
ularities. Prison authorities said
some conditions could be blamed on
the old buildings and inadequate
housing for the inmates.

bers of the League of Virginia
Counties have been notified in a
letter from the league that the
organization. in cooperation with
the State Planning Commission and
the League Of Virginia Municipali-
ties, Is preparing a new coming Law
to be proposed for the State.
New legislation is considered since
the recent ruling of Judge Leon
Bazile in Fairfax County Circuit
Court that the land use section of
that county's coming ordinance is
invalid. Raymond v. Long, director
Of the State Planning Board, urged
that civil test case be brought in
Fairfax to test Judge Baziles ruling.
Judge Bazile ruled that the coun-
ty ordinance is invalid in prohibit
ing the use of land for any purpose
except those specifically listed.
Judge Bazile's opinion, If upheld,
will invalidate all such ordinances
in the State, and laws stating pro-
hibitions on land use rather than
uses allowed would become neces-
sary, said Mr.. Long.
