EXAMINER BILL
IS GIVEN REPORT
House Committee Votes to
Abolish Office and Give Work
to Clerks.

Examiners of record seem very like
ly TO lose their positions. as the result
of the action of the Committee on
Finance yesterday morning, when 1t
reported favorably the Spessard bill,
abolishing tho Offices This measure
placed tho duties of assessing H.
duciarles upon clerks of courts, who
arc familiar with the accounts They
would turn the lists over to the com
missoDers of the revenue. Nominal
compensation is given to the clerk s
for the service.
Mr.. Spessard has been at work on
this proposition for years, and in the
beginning he received little considera-
ton. But when he came back to the
Legislature this year he found that
the State Tax Commission, after study
ing the proposition. had recommended
that the Office be done away with, as
its duties could easily be performed by
others. Compliments were paid the
examiners for efficient work in the
past.
1t was stated in a report made TO
the committee by tho Auditor. that
after the State has paid the commits
sions 1t has but little tax Income left
from this source. Page after page of
delinquent returns were made of the
property of fiduciaries. although ex-

The annual meeting of the Virginia
State Automobile Association WAS held
yesterday in the club rooms of the
Ricnmond Automobile Club. Politics
played no small part in the meeting.
and 1t was apparent from the moment
that President Preston Bclv!n called
the meeting to order that a storm was
brewing. The nrst thunderclap came
when letter was read from the secre
tary Of the Roanoke Automobile AS
ISOLATION, stating that II Mr.. Belvln
were reelected president of tbs asso-
citation that club would probably re-
sign.
The antagonism of Roanoke was
created through the energetic and eff
fectivc work the present president has
done toward securing the approval of
the Quebec Miami Highway Associa-
ton 10 the link in Virginia via Wash
ington, Fredericksburg, Ashland and
Richmond. Instead OF through the Val
ley, thus cutting off Roanoke from the
main line.
at the meeting yesterday there were
present only delegates from Rich
mond The other automobile clubs
connected with the state body failed
to put in an appearance, though they
were given a weeks notice. After
considerable discussion. 1t was decided
to enter into the election OF officers.
Preston Belvin, the incumbent, was
nominated to succeed himself. and was
unanimously elected. Vice-presidents
were elected as follows: II. L. Elliott.
OF Roanoke; W. a. Post of Newport

burg: o. B. Barker. OF Lynchburg; W.
VI. Lille, OF Charlottesville; j. T. Palma

wagons using the public roads. This
bill, while comprehensive In It's pro-
