tract for q county incinerator in

Bougler firm. The board vote was
Al. with Chairman Daniel A. Du-
gan dissenting.
The board defended its action on
the grounds that even though the
initial cost would be higher. lower
operating costs over period Of
years would result in the Nichols
incinerator being less expensive.
$500, 900 in Bonds Sold.
The incinerator, for which $780,
900 in bonds have been sold, would
be built near No. ! highway and
South Glebe road, next to the

Virginia Organization
Hit by Miller in Bid for
Governor Nomination
By the Assoeiofsd Press

RICHMOND. Va, Dec. 3.-Anti-
forces last night fired
the first salvo in the battle for
Virginia's 1949 Democratic guber-
material nomination
Francis Pickens Miller, the anti
candidate. himself laid
down the opening barrage.
The former Army colonel, In a
radio address which launched his
campaign, pleaded for the election
Of new leadership" which. he said.
was needed because members Of the
organization no longer represent
the opinions and convictions OF the
majority" Of Virginias Democratic
Party.
He lit into the organization rs a
clique" whose strength was based
on "hand-me-dovn opinions and
"hand-me- down posts"
Next August, Mr.. Miller declared,
Virginia voters will have "a real
choice" of candidates, and his own
candidacy offers "a slear-cut alter
native of new leadership"
He urged unqualified Democratic
voters. Of whom he said there are
several hundred thousands" to pay
their poll taxes and register in time
to vote in the primary.
He characterized organization
members as "wednesday Demo-
erats" because Of "the reluctance
Of ths inner ring of the clique to
support the straight Democratic
ticket" in the presidential election.
I'VE remember the bolt-the-party
bill last winter" Mr.. Miller said.
In It's original form it provided
that the State Central Committee
Of the Democratic Party could de-
termine after the presidential elec-
ton was over for what presidential
candidate Democratic voters had
cast their votes. The party bosses
and not the people would tell the
electors what to do.
Convention Recalled.
I'VE remember last summers
State Democratic Convention where
decisions were not taken after dis
cussion and a clear majority vote,
but were imposed by ruthless steam
roller tactics.
I'VE remember the autumn meet
ing of the State Genital Committee
where the hand-me- down principles
appeared without gloves.
These incidents did not happen by
chance. They were not just mis-
takes Of judgment. They were the
natural fruits of the tree. They
we're the logical result OF so years of
unchallenged power"
Mr.. Miller did not call the three
other candidates by name. But in
obvious references to State Senator
John s. Battle of Charlottesville,
former Mayor Horace H. Edwards,
Richmond, and Remmie L. Arnold,
Petersburg industrialist, in that Or
der, he said:
lone candidate is the favorite of
the inner ring of the clique which
for more than so years has con-
trolled the Democratic Party in Vir-
ginia.
Another candidate is the favorite
of the outer ring of the same clique,
though this candidates bid for office
is being directed to a wider circle.
"A third candidate who has just
announced hopes to become the IA
vorite of businessmen on the errone-
Gus assumption that political pro-
cesses are identical with commercial
processes"

Fenwiick Backs
|nstd||ment Tax
P|aninAr|ington
But Senator Expects
Rural Opposition to
De Loshmutt Ideu

A proposal by Basil NJ De Lash
mutt, Arlington board member, for
installment payment of State and
local taxes beginning several months
before the due date has the back
ing of State Senator Charles r.
Fenwick, who represents Arlington
in the General Assembly.
Mr.. De Lashmutt yesterday ex-
pressed his concern" over the en-
tire bill for property, income and
poll taxes arriving so close to the
December 5 deadline." He sug-
gested, as a possible solution. en-
actment of legislation for prorating
the taxes.
Because of installation of a new
record and accounting system in
county Offices, tax bills were not
mailed out until this week. Ordi-
narily they are sent out in mid
November. Deadline for payment
without penalty is midnight Mon
day, an extension of one day be-
cause the normal deadline falls on
Sunday this year.
Three Payments Suggested.
Mr.. De Lashmutt suggested pay
ment of taxes in three installments.
The first would be in June, when
personal property and income tax
returns are filed: the second Sep
tember and the third before De-
cember 5.
He suggested that the payments
could be made on the basis of the
estimated tax if necessary and any
differences adjusted at the final
installment.
Senator Fenwick said he thinks
the proposal has merit and would
be beneficial to people up here"
However" Mr.. Fenwick declared
II anticipate opposition from res
idents of the rural communities of
the State. They harvest their crops,
for the most part, in the fall and
get most of their money about the
time taxes are due"
Would Back LEGISLATION.
II will consider supporting the
proper legislation if there is not too
much opposition" he said.
Both Mr.. De Lashmutt and Sen
ator Fenwick pointed out that
voluntary advance payments are
permitted by present law.
Meanwhile, Commissioner of Rev.
enue Harry K. Green announcedI
increases in assessed valuations since
the estimate of valuations for the
1948-49 budget in the spring. !
Mr.. Green said his original es-
innate of $121.543, ,050 had been in
creased by s7.3SS.058 and, at tax
rate OF 1925 per 500, would bring
in the additional taxes OF $240,111.
The increases over estimates were
in the following classifications: Real
estate, $1l2,380; public service cor
porations. $1,145, 1885, and tangible
personal property, $6,130,342.
Poll Tax PAYMENT Urged.
Mr.. Green said that the tangible
personal property category showed
the largest increase because of the I
many new automobiles assessed.
The total assessed valuations for
all categories will produce a tax of
$4,190,2 ,26l, or an increase of $427,-
96l over the current year, he said.
The Arlington League of Women
Voters yesterday appealed to county
residents to pay their 1948 poll tax
along with the other tax bills to be 4
eligible to vote in 1949.
The league also urged persons who
moved into the county in 1947, but
who are receiving poll tax state
ments for the first time, to pay the
1s47 tax even though they have not
been billed for it. 1t must be paid
to meet voting requirements.
