be long step in promoting harmony

ment in the various capitals of Eu-
rope relative to the project and has
found it favorable.

TREASURER SHY
ABOUT $4,000
ACCOUNTANTS REPORT on CIES
TERRIFIED COUNTY SHOWS
BIG SHORTAGE.

AT the meeting OF the board or
supervisors of Chesterfield county
neA: Wednesday, the report OF The
special accountants on the condition
of the county treasury will be re-
celved. 1t Is believed that tine re-
per, will show that the shortage wi,
probably reach $4,000 for the past
ten years.
DIR, J. p. Gillian, who has been
treasurer for many years, says he
stands ready at any time to make
good the apparent shortage. as he has
no intention OF departing from this
world without making himself square
with everybody.
Or. Gillian processes to know at
solutely nothing Of the shortage II
Is thought by all who know him that
the shortage grew from old-fashioned
methods and carelessness. and that
DR.. Gillian never used any of the
money personally. He Is q man of
means, and Is very old.
In their examination the Messrs.
Boudar. the expert accountants found
many difficulties to overcome. They
found in some instances that the
treasurer had allowed himself COM
missions in excess of the amount
really due.
Dr. Gillian did not seek re-elcc-
ton at the last election. He had
declined to run even before the
shortage investigation had begun.

to which the Chesterfield school board
had been subjected frequently was

1t was necessary to have funds. and
the methods OF the treasurer were
subjected to much criticism. Teach
ers were frequently placed at great
Inconvenience because after receiving
