CHANGE IN REVENUE HEADQUARTERS
As stated in the GAZETTE yesterday tho
uueston of removing the headquarters OF
the Sixth internal revenue district from
Stanton to Warrenton, has been finally set
tied and collector Ham. Shepherd has been
given permission to mako the change, by
lhe Commissioner Of Revenue. The district
embraces the cities Of Alexandria, Lynch
lurg and Staunton, the towns of Liberty,
Lexington, Leesburg, Arlington, New Mar
ket and all tho counties lying between them,
and over sixty deputies and clerks are en-
ployed in collecting the revenue and trans.
acting the business of this branch of the
government service. The removal of the
ttfice from Staunton TO Warrenton will ne.
CO ESTATE the transfer of the ten or twelve
clerks now employed OF the present head.
quarters to the latter place and it is thought
that .Warrenton will be greatly benefited
by the change Warrenton is the home oil
Collector Shepperd aud one reason for tho
change is that The place is more in The GEN.
tie of the district than Sauntnn and thus
more accessible to- majority q! persons
having business with the general office. The
deputies throughout the district have all been
ordered to Staunto on to make their reports
and to settle tn, ir accounts TO the ~ inst,
AZ on that date The Office will be trat sFerred
from Collector Shepherd under temporary
appointment to Collector Shepherd under
confirm ion, aud it is Thought that
the transfer OF the location of
the Office will be made soon there
after. The Offices of the deputy
collector in this city and those in the other
places in the district will be closed from the
222nd to the 9th, and no stamps will be sold
during that time in order to give the depu.
ties time to make their settlements with
Collector Shepperd at Staunton.
The peopls of Warrenton are mucn
pleased at the proposed change, and the
Jirqinian says 1.-The best thing has hap
pened to Warrenton that has occurred In
hundred years, and that is the final settle.
ment Of the question of removing the office
of the Commits Toner of Internal Revenue Of
the 9th district from Staunton to Warren
ton. There will follow the Office a large
number of employees who will permanently
locate here. The Town Council acted
wisely 10 appropriating two hundred dol
lars to defray the expenses of removal"
