Fanning Baumgardner said that both bodies had “done a Wonderful job with what little they’ve had to go on...whh limited resources...You’d better go easy on them,” he cautioned.

“That’s the point,” agreed Supervisor Wood. “We’ve had limited resources and that’s why (Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinances)' are better (than those in other localities).”

“The danger to the county right now—once the enabling legislation is corrected—are people who are pro-zoning fighting among themselves. It erodes strength,” Miller said. “We ought to be awful careful about fighting among ourselves (and) antagonizing people who don’t understand (zoning) at all,” he warned.

“That’s the best advice we’ve had tonight,” seconded H. B. Wood.

“I’m a little concerned over passing ordinances that will be overturned,” remarked Dr. Carroll Quaintance. Noting that Rappahannock had a population of little more than 5,000, he said it wasn’t realistic for the county to expect to take a land use case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. With that option not economically feasible, he maintained, "the only truly constructive thing we can do” is work to repeal the Dillon Rule.
