 Second class did not have a court of record and were required to share the cost of that court with their adjacent county and also shared the cost for three constitutional officers of that court—generally, the clerk, commonwealth attorney and sheriff—and those shared officers stood for election in both the city and the county.At least two constitutional officers—treasurer and commissioner of the revenue—were required to be elected solely by the residents of the city.The distinction between first and second class cities was ended with the Virginia Constitution of 1971.
