Inspector Scott recalled the case
of a thief widely sought in a series

One night the fugitive marched

decided to give up, take a guilty

Fairfax Trailer Park
License Ordinance
Is Ruled Invalid
Speeiol Dispafeh 10 The stor

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. s.
Fairfax County's trailer park
ordinance today was held in vio-
lation of the State constitution.
The Virginia Supreme Court Of
Appeals upheld a decision of
Judge Elliott Marshall who, in
July. 1850. ruled the Fairfax
ordinance invalid. The county
appealed his decision to the
higher court.
Associate Justice Archibald C.
Buchanan, who wrote the Su-
preme Court opinion, held that
an enabling act under which the
country ordinance was adopted
was special legislation, which the
State constitution prohibits.
The county's trailer park ordi-
nance first was drafted in 1943,
but was amended in 1948 to re-
quire a much higher license tax.
The higher tax, effective January
l, 1949. was $50 per trailer lot
within a park.
The American Trailer Co., Inc.
operator of the county's two big
gest trailer parks - Oak Grove
and Temple Trailer Village-re-
fused to pay the new license fee
and filed suit early in 1949 chal-
longing constitutionality of the
ordinance. The case was argued
before Judge Marshall in July,
1949. and his decision was an
nounced a year later.
The County estimates about
$4,000 would have been collected
during the several years the ordi-
nance has been tied up in litiga-
tion.
