W0ULOREPEAl TAX
ON TRUST DEEDS
Alexandra County Grand Jury
Makes an important
Recommendation.
RESOURCES IN MINERALS
Titanium in Paying Quantities
in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Gov
ernor Coming.

Making it's report to the court on
the subject Of its investigation into
tax returns, the grand jury of Alexan-
dria County made recommendation
that the law imposing taxes on deeds
of trust should be repealed. A copy
of the grand jurys findings has been
forw arded 70 Auditor G. Lee Moore.
The report states that on January D.
1900, the Board of supervisors OF the
county passed a resolution cohue"h
ing the provision of the tax law which
puts a burden on money invested IN
this way and represented by mort
cages. 1t was regarded a double taxa
ton. since the land is also taxed IL
was held that such a law drives capt.
tai out VI the State and causes II 10 go
elsewhere.
State Senator S. r. Oonohoe. then the
representative of Alexandria and 9TH
er counties In the upper house or the
General Assembly and later Auditor
OF Public Accounts was asked In the
resolution to vote for a bill making the
desired change. the same request oeihs
made Of Frank Hume. member Of the
House Of Delegates.
This recommendation is now repeated
by the grand jury.
That body found some automobiles
not listed for taxation. 1t also foUho
some incomes not assessed as required
by law. and H. discovered merchants
who were not paying their license
taxes to the State. All Of these were
duly reported. and the additional as
sessments will be placed upon the books
by the commissioner of the revenue
Auditor Moore is much pleased at
the thorough manner in which the
Alexandria County jury discharged its
duty He hopes all other juries Will
do as well. The body did not find that
any person had intended to defraud
the State or county, so produced no
indictments.
