1t may be that Auditor Moore VIII
lay emphasis on the incomes and on
TIE bank deposits OF the people or
Iichmond, since il appears that there
may perhaps be food for more work
Ia these respects than ia others
Inspection OF the books may reveal
worse conditions in other parts Of the
state than ln Richmond Indeed. il is
expected this VIII De the case Courts
IL all sucn localities viii be requested
by the Auditor TO give especial charges
TO their grand juries covering any
point which may be raised 6y him
80 far has the matter gone that :.
circular letter Is being sent out from
the Office OF the Auditor TO those com
mlss!ouers OF the revenue who make
inquiry about when They Will receive
their commissions from the State :or
their year work. This letter says that
inasmuch as these books Will proba-
bly, have TO 20 before the grand jury"
and therefore will be subject TO change
the commissions cannot be paid at
present. Increases in taxable values as
the result Of indictments would get
more taxes for the state ana for the
counties ana cities. and would swell
the commissions Of the revenue officers
