Loudoun and Prince William
Hold Referendums tuesday

Loudoun and Prince William
Counties in Virginia will hold local
referendums in connection with
the general election Tuesday.
Loudoun has a spirited fight
over its system of government.
The referendum question is:
Shall Loudoun County adopt the
executive form of county govern
ment?"
The movement for change is in
line with similar trends in COM
munities in the Washington Met
ropoiitan Area. Some citizens feel
Loudoun has outgrown the Con-
stitutional" form of government
now used.
A county executive plan would
concentrate greater powers in the
hands Of the Board Of Supervisors.
The election of certain key officials
would be discontinued. The su-
pervisors would fill their jobs by
appointments. Among these are
county treasurer and commissioner
of revenue (whose duties would be
combined under one finance Of
f1cer).
In addition, the supervisors
would appoint members of the
County School Board. This board
is now selected by a group of citi-
Zens selected specifically for this
one job by the judge of the Cir
cult Court.
A county executive would be
employed to serve the supervisors
as the chief administrative officer
of the county.
Leading advocates of the execu-
tive system are the League Of
Women Voters and the Loudour
Citizens for Home Rule. The lat.
ter is headed by Asa Moore Jan.
ney, Lincoln farmer and merchant
Opposition to change centers in 6

are two bond issue referendums
before voters. Only.one is county
wide. however.
This one. sponsored by the
county Federation of Parent
Teacher Associations. is a $2.4
million issue for school construc-
ton, additions and improve
ments. 1T includes $880,000 for
a new high school at Manassas,
$530,000 for a new high school in
the Occoquan-W Woodbridge area
S375.000 for a new building and
improvements at the regional COL
ored school at Manassas, and
$150,000 for a new rural element
airy school. The rest of the issue
would be used for various addi-
tons and improvements.
The second bond issue-for
STAT, 000-is confined to the Oc-
coquan Sanitary District. Only
the voters of that locality are
concerned. The proposal Is to
provide water services in the dis
trict, the water to be supplied
from a reservoir owned and oper-
ated by the Alexandria Water Co.
Both Loudoun and Prince Will
liam lie within the 9th Congress
sional District of Virginia. They
will participate. therefore, in the
House election Tuesday. Candi-
dates are Representative Smith,
Democratic incumbent; Tyrrell
Krum, Republican, and Clarke T.
Robb, Social-Democrat.
The counties ballots also will
offer voters an opportunity to
pass upon two proposed amend
ments to the State constitution
One is to permit the legislature
to appoint an additional corpora
ton court judge in cities with
populations of more than 10000
and the other proposal is to per-
nit the merger of certain countie.
and cities into a single school dis
