URGES REMOVAL

Especial TO The Times Dispatch.1
LYNCHBURG, VA, January i5.-The
grand jury in the Circuit Court at Rust
burg to-day made report to the Circuit
Court recommending that John w. Clay
county treasurer, be removed from office,
for the following reasons:
Il. He falls to pay proper respect to
the law which requires him to make
reports to the board of supervisors.
2. He falls to give proper notice of
the times and places at which he will
sit for three days in the magisterial dis
tricts for the collection OF taxes.
%. He does not, In some cases, have
such sittings in magisterial districts, and
We are led to believe that in at least
one magisterial district he has only had
one sitting for perhaps one day within
the last six or seven years.
Not Fair Chance.
"a. We do not believe that Mr.. Clay
has used due vigilance to collect the
taxes, nor has he given the people a
fair opportunity to pay them. and we
are informed that he keeps his office at
a remote place in the county and that
he does not carry his tickets to the court
house on court day, where people have
attempted to pay their taxes. but he could
not receive them. because he did not have
the tickets there.
I'VE do not believe that Mr.. Clay in
tends to do anything wrong but he does
not fully realize the Importance of OBJ
servation of law and has not respect
for law which underlies all good public
service.
(signed) "a. F. THOMAS, Foreman"
This was the only presentment made
by the grand jury to-day, and they were
adjourned over until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. With respect to the delinquent
tax list Judge Barksdale held that where
three or four lots are returned delinquent
in one entry they are enormously assess
