Virginia Assembly
Sets Record for
|FeWest Laws
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, April 4.-The
1916 session of Virginia's General
Assembly wound up with the few
est new laws of any regular session
in at least 10 years, according to
an official compilation released to-
day by Col. E. Griffith Dodson,
clerk of the House of Delegates.
A final tally disclosed that 405 of
the 687 bills introduced were
passed by both House and Senate.
OF these three were vetoed specif-
ically and two were permitted to
die by Gov. Tuck's pocket veto,
leaving an even 400 laws enacted.
The number of bills dropped in
the hopper was the second lowest
in 10 years, a record low, surpassed
only by the 674 total at the 1914
session. Only 254 measures were
offered in the Senate this time, a
record low for the past decade.
The volume of proposed legisla-
ton has been dropping of steadily
in recent years, possibly because of
the unusual number of special
sessions" where many items are
cleared up which otherwise would
be offered at regular sessions.

Civic Groups Oppose
Housing for Veterans
In Sligo Park Area

Opposition has been voiced by two
civic groups In the Sligo Park area
to the proposed erection of tenn
porary housing units for veterans in
Sligo Valley Park north. of the
Parkside School.
The Montgomery County commits
sioners last week accepted the offer
of the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission for
the use of the site for veterans
housing.
In a letter to the commissioners,
the Forest Grove Citizens Associa-
ton has entered vigorous" protest
against the proposal, claiming that
it would deprive its members of
recreational facilities in the area.
The group added that the proposed
location is not near shopping and
transportation facilities.
Emphasizing that it was not op-
posing veterans housing, the asso-
citation suggested a site at New
Hampshire avenue and University
lane, where units already are
lOCdtcU.
Robert Sherwin, president of the
group, pointed out that residents
of the Sligo Park area have paid
$4,000 to $4,000 for their homes
and are entitled to recreational
facilities.
Also opposing the Sligo Park site
is the Park Hills Civic Association,
which has supported the Forest
Grove group in recommending the
New Hampshire avenue location.
Ralph D. Boyd, president of the
Allied Civic Groups Of Silver Spring,
said the question would be discussed
at the next meeting Of the group

Fairfax Board Opens
Fight 10 Test Court
Ruling on zoning

The Fairfax County Board of Su-
pervisors took the first step yesterday
to test the validity Of a recent ruling
handed down by Judge Leon M.
Bazile, declaring the use regulations
Of the county zoning ordnance in
valid by filing a bill of compliant in
the County Circuit Court against
L. w. Parker of Tysons Corners.
The compliant seeks to have the
court enjoin the defendant against
the further use Of lot near Tysons
Corners, now being used for busi-
ness, as an alleged violation of the
zoning ordinance. Mr.. Parker is
now using the lot to store motor
vehicles.
The complaint was filed on behalf
Of the board by Commonwealth S
Attorney Hugh B. Marsh and Com
monwealth's Attorney Albert v.
Bryan of Alexandria, who has been
employed by the board to assist Mr..
Marsh with the case.
Decision Last October.
Judge Bazile handed down his de-
cision last October, invalidating the
use regulations of the ordinance,
after Mr.. Parker had appealed a
conviction in the Trial Justice Court,
where he was charged on criminal
warrant, with violating the ordi-
nance provisions.
In setting aside the lower court s
decision, Judge Bazile ruled that
the ordinance was invalid so far as
it attempts to prohibit the use of
the accused's land for all purposes
except the enumerated uses per-
mitted. He further said that pro-
hibitive uses should be cited instead
of permitted uses.
The ruling was received with con-
cern in other localities in Virginia
where zoning ordinances are in
effect, as the use regulations of all
zoping ordinances in the State are
similar to the local ordinance.
Final Ruling to Be Sought.
T. j. Stockton, planning engineer
OF the County Planning Commits
sion, said that as far as he has been
able to determine, only one locality
in the United States, has zoning
ordinance, in which it cites pro-
hibitive uses permitted In its use
regulations, instead of permitted
uses.
Mr.. Parker is now operating his
business in an area which is zoned
as residential on the county zoning
map.
Mr.. Marsh said that regardless of
what decision is handed down by
the Circuit Court on the question,
the case is expected to eventually
60 to the Virginia State Court of
Appeals for a final ruling.
No date has been set for the
hearing.
