EIGHTH VIRGINIA DISTRICT FACES APPORTIONMENT SPLIT
I ALTERNATIVES
i- OFFERED TD
. ASSEMBLY
One Representative in Con
gress Must be Eliminated
Through Division
»
Residents of Northern Vir-
> pinia are alert to the conven
ing of the Virginia General
Assembly in Richmond tomor-
# row. when that body will be
fucedwith the problem of re
districting the State to elimi
nate one Representative in
Congress in accordance with
the reapporticnment law.
• All three plans to be presented
the legislature will affect the
t Eighth Congressional district, rep
resented by Howard SmitJ), of
Alexandria, and embracing the
Northern Virginia area.
> May Divide District
The first plan is to combine
the Seventh and Eighth districts,
the two districts which have the
lowest populations; the second
plan is to cut up the Eighth dis-
> trict; and the third plan is to
cut up. the Tenth district, rep-
, resented by St. George Tucker,
close friend of Harry Byrd and
Senator Carter Glass.
Political observers believe the
second plan will be adopted be
cause of the aloofness from the
State Democratic machine of
Howard Smith and Charles Car
lin, Alexandria attorney, and for
mer Representative from the
Eighth district.
* Will Aid Democrats
By dividing the Eighth district.
* the power of the Democratic
party in Northern Virginia can
also be retained, for the counties
in that district which are of Re-
► publican tendencies, Arlington,
Fairfax, Price William, Stafford,
and Alexandria City, can be in
cluded in the First district, an
overwhelmingly Democratic dis
trict.
To the Seventh district, which
’ Is considered something of a Re
publican stronghold, the strongly
t Democratic counties of Loudoun.
Fauquier, Culpeper. Orange and
Louisa will be alloted.
> AUXILIARY MEET
The Ladies Auxiliary to the
Clarendon Volunteer Fire Depart
ment will hold its regular meet
ing this evening.

TAPE MEASURES
FIX COUNTY’S
VALUATION
Montgomery Appraises Realty
With Most Thorough
Method to Date
The most exact and scien
tific method of property valua
tion for county tax assessment
purposes ever attempted in
any county adjacent to Wash
ington is now being worked
out in Montgomery county.
Each of the 8.000 towelling and
business structures in the metro
politan area and all of the 4,000
structures in other sections of
the county will be measured by
rule of cubic measurement.
Headed by Hempstone Griffith,
chairman of the board of as
sessors of the county, George E
Hamilton, Phil D. Poston and
Building Inspectors J. Fred
Imirie and Martin L. Iverson
are measuring dimensions of
every house in the Chevy Chase
and Bethesda areas. Later they
will go into the Takoma Park
and Silver Spring sections, pro
ceeding north to the rural sec
tions. It is expected the entire
job will be finished in time for
the laying of taxes in 1933.
These measurements include
style of building, materials of
construction, size of basements
number of bathrooms and such
other features of building that
may afford a tangible basis upon
which to found a valuation.
