REMOVAL OF COLLECTORS OFFICES.
Internal Revenue Collector Agnew has
been here for day or two, and has seen
Commissioner Forman with regard to
In ha District
of Virginia moved from Lynchburg to
Alexandria, where Mr.. Agnew resides.
There are quite a number Of similar APP
plications on file in the Treasury Depart
ment. Collector Brady wants the Of
flee transferred from Richmond TO Peters
burg. If the President had considered
this matter of changing offices, number
of the present appointments would never
have been made.
1t is not likely that the application for
removal of the Office In either the East
ern or Western District Of Virginia will
be granted. These changes would In
volve great expense, merely for the con-
venience of the new collectors, and Com
missioner Forman does not at all approve
of II. The impression prevails In the
Treasury Department that the Collectors
offices at Richmond and Lynchburg will
remain Wnere they are
