gfneer c. p f. Burgwyn. who. after
making an inspection Of the valley d.
vision of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. declared that it's physical condi-
ton is good. and much better than
many roads, the officials Of Winchester
this week had another inspection made,
this time by Judge William F. Rhea,
a member of the Virginia corporation
commission. The inspection was made
on handcars and frequent stops were
made between stations to examine the
roadbed closely. Judge Rhea probably
will make a detailed report early next
week. There has been much complaint
recently about the condition of the
roadbed and rolling stock.
The commissioners Of the revenue have
received notice from the state auditor
insisting on a rigid compliance with the
law relating to the listing of personal

that of ascertaining who are holding

1t has been held by the court of ap-
pealS that unless the holder of mort
gage, bond or note pays the tax on the

be enforced. Heretofore many bonds
