Charter Heariinq
AtFa||s Church
Raps Provisions
Utility Bill Taxes,
Sale Of Bonds Are
Sharply Attacked

Provisions for utility bill taxes
and for the sale of municipal bonds
without referendum underwent
sharp attack last night at public
hearing on the proposed Falls
Church charter.
Almost 100 citizens attending
the hearing held at Madison
School discussed the first 7 of the
charters 81 chapters. The re-
mainder Of the proposals will be
the subject Of a second hearing at
8 pm. Tuesday at Madison School.
When a charter receives final
approval of the Council 1t will be
forwarded to the General Assem-
bly, for action. A two-thirds af-
firmative vote of both houses is
required for passage.
Tax Called Discriminatory.
A representative of the South
west Citizens Association. w. D.
Brewer, 1900 Seaton lane, said his
organization opposes the provision
authorizing utility tax as dis
criminatory." It would be unfair,
he asserted, to assess persons who
have gas or electric heating while
home owners using coal or oil
would not be so heavily taxed.
Mr.. Brewer also asked that the
council require a referendum be-
fore borrowing money. Among
those supporting his recommended
ton were John F. Bethune, for
mer Mayor, and George T. Reeves,
who resigned from the School
Board last month.
At present, two elections are
required for approval of ordinary
bond issues. Property owners first
have an opportunity to vote on
the request to borrow; If they ap-
prove, all qualified voters are
eligible to ballot In a second ref
erendum.
Manager Authority Unopposed.
A charter provision increasing
the city managers authority drew
no opposition last night.
Several residents protested a
section under which property own
ers not assessed by the city would
be liable to a penalty and interest
charges on delinquent taxes when
the property finally is placed on
tax records.
Also questioned last night was
proposal giving the city power to
construct and operate its own gas
and electric plants.
One major change proposed In
the charter not yet discussed would
provide for election of the School
Board. The board now is appoint
ed by the Council.
The proposed charter also pro-
vides for election of a seven-mem-
ber council at large. At present,
nine are elected, three from each
of three wards. The Mayor, who
now is elected at large, would be
chosen by the Council from among
its members.

But Martha Washington died
before the body was moved. Then
Washington's six executors-f1ve
of them his nephews-intervened.
The Capitol grew. In 1915,
workmen began rebuilding what
the British had burned in 1872.
In 1918, they started the center
and by 1929 it was done. Congress
was ready to try again.
In March, 1880, the Senate and
House jointly proposed to remove
Washington's remains before De-
cember to a basement sepulchre
installed under the center of the
dome. A statue would be erected
in the rotunds.
Tomb Remains Empty.
George Washington Parke Gus
tbs, Washington's ward and
Martha's grandson, capitulated.
"It is left for the Government
to determine = =" he declared.
But nothing happened until the
following year. Then the remains
were moved-to the new tomb at
Mount Vernon, ordered erected In
Washington's will 80 years earlier.
Vice President John C. Calhoun
made the final effort, in February,
1882, in a letter to John A. WASH
ington. But it was the General
Assembly of Virginia that re-
sponded, proclaiming sarcastically
that Congress plans were mot
necessary to perpetuate and
strengthen the national gratitude. -
To this day, the tomb in the
Capitol basement has remained
empty.
