"The proposal to move into the
middle third of American in

else" he said, He described
the middle third as consisting
of those families earning between

rule that Arlington would be af-
fected because it adjoins the Dis
trict of Columbia, which has
more than 100000 population.
Usually the efforts made by
legislators to correct these errors
receive little publicity or go by
unnoticed because they are too
complicated.
Only Thursday, for example, the
Senate passed a bill by Senator
Garland Gray of Waverly to re-
quire general reassessment of
real estate in all counties every six
years. About 10 days ago the
Arlington delegation had spon-
sored bill to require general
reassessment in it's county at
least once every four years. The
rule is that the last bill passed
will repeal any law in conflict
with it, including bills that have
been enacted earlier in the same
session of the Legislature.
Senator Charles r. Fenwick
of Arlington discovered this flaw
in the Gray bill and made the
necessary correction to preserve
the Arlington act.

Some innocuous bill may be
introduced which has laudable
purpose but, unintentionally. re-
peals special law applicable to
one particular locality.
This is because the State Con-
stitution sets up a long list of
prohibitions against special, pri-
vate or local legislation.
Section 60 says: "The General
Assembly shall not enact any
local, special or private law in
the following cases."
Then appears list of 20 pro-
hibitions, including the conduct
of elections, punishment of crime,
regulation of court procedure, as
sessment or collection of taxes or
granting tax exemptions, and so on.
For this reason many special
acts must be worded in general
terms. Their application, however,
will be only to one or a desired
number of localities.
For instance, Arlington's spe-
cial acts this year contain such
phrases as:
I'm any county having a popu-
lation, according to the last pre-
ceeding United States census. Of

In a letter Saturday, the Legion
urged members of the House whose

dunn through which to make it
that type than the one of home

that the present type of COM
