GRAND JURY IN COUNTY.
Court Orders Special Grand Jury Il

Judge ]. B. T. Thornton on yestec-

George R. Reese, C. w. Cathcart, w.
C. Wbert, George G. Crossman, D.
N. Rust, jr., H. R. Thomas, and W.

sonal assessment of Alexandria coun-
ty for the year 1912, The court orders
the special grand jury for this in
quiry upon the request of the Audi
tor of Public Accounts, Lee D. Moore.
The auditor thinks that a very small
percentage of the citizens of Alex
andria county have complied with the
law IN reference to reporting incomes;
also that many owners of automo-
biles have failed to return them to
the Commissioner of Revenue, for tax
alton. 1t is likely true that very
small proportion of persons who
should pay an income tax are doing
so. 1t is sand there are IL paying
upon incomes this year but prior to
this year, however, never more than
two persons have paid an income
tax in Alexandria county althoug gh
the law required that all persons re-
ceiving an income of over $4,000 or
the present year are required to e..
port the same to the Commission. :"
of Revenue for taxation.
There are many automobiles owIod
in Alexandria county, but few, if any
it is said, have been returned for as
sessment.
The report of the grand jury, to
convene on Monday, will be interest
ing and is awaited with consider
able interest.

Late reports stated that the court

CAPITAL so MILLIONS.
Meeting to be Held in Alexandria No
vember 10th When Change Will be
Approved. =.

The great Alexandria corporation
known as the Maryland-Virginia
Railway Company which has figured
so largely in the public eye during the
past month is to undergo another
change and will lose its identity un-
der the name of "Washington Utili-
ties" According to a report pub
lished this morning and confirmed by
Gardner L. Boothe, secretary of the
company meeting of the Maryland
Virginia Company is ito be held in his
Offices on November 10th, at which
time the stockholders will vote on
three propositions. a
First-The amendment to the char
ter of the company, changing the
name ITO the Washington Utilities
Company.
Second-An amendment to the char
ter of the company, increasing the
maximum authorized stock from $50
100000 to $5O,OO0,0O0.
Third-To consider the creation OF
a bonded indebtedness, not in excess
of 500, 100000 to be secured by lien
on real personal property now own
ed or hereafter to be acquired by the
company.
The directors of the corporation
have approved Of these three prop
ositions, and this means that the ac-
tual action incident to the change OF
name and the increase in stock ana
bonded indebtedness will be taken at
the time and place mentioned.
:. The Maryland-Virginia Railway
Company, as title, has served Its
purpose. 1t kept the matter under
cover as to actual aims and purposes
until very large part OF the capltai
stock of the Washington Railway ana
Electric Conpany's common and pre-
ferred shares had found their way
into the Golfers of the corporation,
and likewise many shares OF the
Washington-Virginia Company.
Officials of the Maryland-Virglnla
Company have made the: statement
frequently that this proposition Is
simply a financing movement OF the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company, but they have added that II
would be made big enough to take IN
cher utilities, if they cared to come
in, to knock for admittance.
The new company however will not
include the Arlington Electric Co.. or
the Braddock Light and Power Co.,
as since the decision of the Virginia
Static Corporation Commissioner the
question of a merger between these
companies and the Maryland Virginia
Company has been completely
1 dropped.
