JUDGE GREGORY
IS NOT A JOKER
INTENTLl IN EARNEST IN RElso-
LUTON CONCERNING THE
USE OF DEBT MONEY.

Intent earnestness characterized the
presenting by Judge Gregory of the
resolutions before the Chesterfield
county board of supervisors, regard
ing the spending OF the money Sc
cured from West Virginia in the debt
settlement case. Judge Gregory Of
fered the paper which provided that
a portion OF the money secured from
West Virginia be used in building
good roads and schools in Chester
field.
At first it was thought that the
commemorative attorney WAS simply
putting a joke over on the board of
supervisors or that some fun maker
had put the joke on Judge Gregory.
Judge Gregory told Nirginian rfe-
porter that 1t was no Joke. that he
realized fully what he was doing and
that he Was deeply, serious in the
matter.
Judge Gregory does not think that
the bond holders will get all the
money that West Virginia will have
to pay in the debt settlement case.
In fact he says the suit was brought
by Virginia and that the money will
come to this State and he knows no
better way TO spend II than on the
schools and roads OF the State.
The commonwealth's attorney said
he fully expected to be criticised for
the action he had taken. hut that
he did not care. He was absolutely
earnest In his intentions to 20 on
record as making an effort to get a.
least 4 part Of the West Virginia deht
money for Chesterfield roads ard
