Later In tho morning he waived u
precedent, saying that tho time had
come for the Governor to be closer To
tho Legislative body, and no went 10
the committee room. He presented ~
prepared statement showing that there
were on deposit subject TO taxation in
Virginia banks approximately S115.-
100000. the state tax on which. at 81
cents on 500 would aggregate S612,-
800. and for tho cities and counties at
an average rate OF sl.lo, would
amount TO sl,s25,00o. Up to last year,
Governor Mann said, no effort had been
made TO collect this tax. The pro-
posed tax at 10 cents would yield tho
state three times what It had ever nc
tually received In 1912 there were re-
turned for taxation deposits of s7,644.-
goo. the state tax on which was So65o0
and the county and city tax. $4,000.
Under the active work Of Auditor
Moore the total returns in 1913 were
increased 10 $4,000, 900. but were still
less than one-tenth OF the total.
Urges Speedy Relief.
While there Is II way of finding
how much money ono has in bank
there was no way of seeking in his
pocket said Governor Mann who
urged that unless relief were given
speedily banks would be forced to
curtail loans and business would be
crippled. For months past. he said
money had been sent out of the state
for deposit to escape the heavy bur
den OF taxation, or the greater fear
of many citizens of being hailed before
grand iuries ana embarrassed for
failure To return a subject of tax
alton which the people of the State
hnvs consistently refused TO return
for years past.

Governor, TO keep this money In the

Frank W. Coy, chairman of the . committee on transportation Of the boaxd of trade has been active in this Ene of work and his persistency has i.hssn crowned with success. Though there Is appreciation of concessions made, MT. Coy sought for even addi- fional transportation between Wester- : Iy and Bradford, the first station to the east and within the town Of Wes- terly. Last Saturday MT. Coy received the following letter:
 My dear MT. Coy: Beginning Tues . day. October 18th, we will arrange for way freight leaving Westerly 2.10 p. m' arriving Bradford 2.25 p. m.: west bound leave Bradford 2.15 p. n., due Westerly 2.25 D. m. These trains will carry a caboose and conductors will be Instructed to take passengers be- tween these points.
 So soon as the switcher is put back at work in Westerly we will be glad to run round trip of service in place of the above, at such time as your committee feel will take the best care : of tho business. In the meantime we hope to keep the freight trains very nearly on time and give you reason ably good service.
 May I take this opportunity to ex- press the thanks of MT. Bardo and .myself for the hearty spirit of CO., dperation with which you met us. Y Yours truly.
