Mr. HaSSan's statement came
when he was asked to comment
on the remarks of Attorney
General j. Lindsay Almond, jr..
that he doubted the validity Of
a proposed Statewide free
holders law. such as Arlington
adopted last November.
The commemorative at
torney said obvious conflicts
of Interpretation have arisen"
and that his Office, at the re-
quest of the electoral board, is
preparing a study to be sub
mitted to Mr.. Almond.
Mr.. Hassan said one question
which has arisen is whether a
freeholder would cast one or
two votes-one in the role of
qualified voter and. a second
as a qualified freeholder
Another problem is how a
voter gains the status of a free
holder. Mr.. Hassan said APP
parently a group of citizens
could qualify as individual free
holders by purchasing, as joint
owners, a tract of land of any
size.

the council room. The com.
pany filed its application for
a rate increase Monday, two
weeks after it absorbed the Vir-
ginia Water Co. in Fairfax
County. Both are wholly owned
by the American WaterworkS
Co. of Philadelphia.
Favored by Mayor
City Manager E. G. Heatwole
was directed by the mayor to
contact the engineering firm of
Gannett Fleming Corddry and
Carpenter, Inc, of Harrisburg,
which estimated in July. 1855,
that the city could buy the
company at a cost of approx
mately $50 million with 40
year revenue bonds.
The Mayor reiterated last
night that he favors city ac-
QUESTION of the water company
Other council members, al
though favoring consideration
of the proposal, did not take
stands on the matter.
Fairfax County, the Mayor
added, would be interested, ]
think. in sharing the expense
of buying the Virginia Water
Co. or buying it from Alexan-
dria after it is purchased by
us"
The mayor said that he did
not believe the city would be
able to prevent the company
from gaining its rate increase
in a hearing before the State
Corporation Commission, be-
cause its profit margin has not
reached the allowable 6 per
cent.
The $4,000 budgeted for OPP
position to the rate increase
would be better used, he OBJ
served, toward acquisition Of
the company by updating the
1855 survey.

Transit Lanes
Draw Attacks
From 7 Sides

Curb bus lanes took a verbal
beating from the District Traf-
fic Director and a Municipal
Court judge yesterday.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp reported to Brig. Gen.
Thomas A. Lane, Engineer
Commissioner. that the lanes
seemed impractical" Judge
Milton s. Kronheim remarked
from the bench that the city's
new curb lane regulations were
unavoidable and dangerous.
But D. c. Transit System
President o. Roy Chalk main
tanned that lanes on Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets NV.
have speeded traffic. Con-
Sideration should be given to
establishing more of both the
curb and center lanes in down.
town Washington, he said.
Through the developments,
Mr.. Chalk and Mr.. Keneipp in
sisted they were in complete
accord on the future of the
lanes.
The transit president praised
the traffic director for a won
derful spirit of cooperation"
In turn, Mr.. Keneipp said he
had reached complete agree
ment" with Mr.. Chalk.
Their separate analyses of
the lane experiment. on down.
town Eighteenth, Nineteenth
and Thirteenth streets APP
peared to be slightly divergent,
however. They were:
For Eighteenth and Nine
tenth streets, Mr.. Keneipp
said Mr.. Chalk had agreed to
ask the Commissioners to dis
continue the bus lines with the
understanding that one-way
traffic be continued. Mr.. Chalk
said I'VE do not wish the eli
mination of transit lanes on
Eighteenth. and Nineteenth
streets"
Instead, transit officials will
ask a permanent designation"
from the city of the lanes as
voluntary" This would mean
police could stop requiring
private drivers to steer clear
of the lanes. Clearance would
be sought by friendly persua-
sion by D. c. Transit.
For Thirteenth street, Mr..
Keneipp said Mr.. Chalk would
seek continuance of this curb
lane for a further expert
mental period" Mr.. Chalk
agreed. They both were willing
to eliminate the curb lane
from E to F streets NV. on
Thirteenth because of inter-
ference from turning traffic
A southbound bus stop before
the street light at G street
should be relocated to a spot
on the other side of the light,
according to both men.
Mr.. Chalk noted that bus
lanes might be added on
Twelfth street NV. from E
street to New York avenue
NV.
Because of the discussion of
the possible value of a center
lane as well as a curb lane, it
would appear that Twelfth
street would qualify as a situs
for such an experiment, pro-
viding appropriate loading plat
forms were constructed" Mr..
Chalk added in a letter to Mr..
Keneipp.
Mr.. Keneipp. however, rec
commended to the Commission
ers that no more curb lanes be
set UP. He plans to talk over
establishment of a center lane
on Twelfth street with Mr..
Chalk, he said.
Mr.. Chalk also wanted to dis
cuss with the traffic chief other
lanes on Sixteenth and I streets
and Connecticut avenue NV.
He did not specify whether they
would be curb or center.
Prospects seemed bright for
some added center lanes. Mr..
Keneipp laid out several condi-
tons to Gen. Lane for the res
ervation OF center lanes. A ma
jor one is that traffic on them
must show a consistent saving
of time in the operation of

Almond Doubts Legality
Of Veto by FreehoIders

RICHMOND, July II Attor-
ney General j. Lindsay Almond
said yesterday there is grave
doubt" about the constitution
atty of any legislation giving
freeholders veto power over
general voters on local bond
issues.
Such laws already are in
effect in Arlington County and
the city of Falls Church, where
approval Of a majority of free
holders is required for passage
of bond issues.
Mr.. Almond made his state
ment in reply to a question
raised by G. NJ. Lapsley, Sec
Rotary of a Virginia advisory
Legislative council committee
studying standardizing pro-
cedures on bond issues.
Mr.. Almond said that a con-
stitutional amendment would
be required before any such
veto power" could be placed
in the hands of freeholders, or
property owners.
He noted that section 80 of
the constitution authorizes
the General Assembly to pre-
scribe a property qualifica-
ton in local elections for all
local public officers other than
members Of the General AS
sembly."
Mr.. Almond said that in view
of this cit would seem that a
property qualification not con-
templated therein would be
invalid" He said that some
other States have imposed such
conditions as the committee
contemplates but there is
grave doubt that the legislation
contemplated would be consti-
