Substitute Offered For Changes In Election Laws
The Virginia House of Delegates considered a complete substitute for constitutional election laws. Delegate C G Quesenberg and John Spiers argued the plan preserves annual or four year registration choices and repeals the $1.50 poll tax cap while authorizing a school tax without a fixed amount. The substitute keeps local judges in control and would let voters decide repeal of the poll tax. The Moore bill on stream pollution was set for a special order, with a comptroller expenditure report requested.
