"If we repeal every state expenditure excepting roads and schools, we would only save the taxpayers about $1.60 per year per capita." He referred to Dr. Brown's, attack upon the election laws and his fears-of a stolen election as a "discovery of a ghost," and demanded the candidate's specific ideas as to hok the election laws should be changed.

Governor Byrd claimed that one strong proof of the cleanliness ot Virginia election has been the cleanliness of Virginia's Democratic governmental officials. Dr. Brown's Proposal "The policy of the Democratic administration is to increase gradually the appropriations for roads and schools," the governor said. "Dr. Brown proposes to decrease the money available for roads by reducing (he gas tax and license tax.

Does he propose to decrease the appropriation for schools also?" "If he takes from the surplus next year the amount he reduces a particular tax, leaving the particular appropriation the same, what will he do the following year when there is no surplus?" Referring to coalition charges that Virginia is under the control of Tammany Hall, New York City Democratic club, Governor Byrd remarked: "These ate a few practical difficulties recognized by the experienced administrator.

May Pipe Gas From W. Va. to Clifton Forge Clifton Forge, Oct. 2. That Clifton Forge and Covington may be supplied with gas from West Virginia wells seems a possibiil ty.

P. O. of Narrows, representing the franchise depart-'mcnt ot the Justus Collins gas interests, of Charleston, is now in the city seeking a franchise from the city council. The proposal is to run Dina-Jines from the gas wells at B6zoo to Clifton Forgo and Covington, at the same time supplying Hlnton, Alderson, Ronceverte and Lewisburg. In all ot these places applications have been made for franchises.

While the matter has not been laid before the city council here today, Mr. Ivery said he was preparing a communication to that body asking for its arly conside ration. The usual procedure re quires the council to advertise for thirty days for bids before granting a franchise. The matter will probably come before1 the council at its next meeting on October 14, unless a special session is called for an earlier date. When asked bow much tlms approximately would be required in piping the gas to Clifton Forge after the work had begun, Mr.

Ivey said; "After spending thousands of dollars in proving up the field and being fortunate in making very good locations for producing wells. It is natural the investors In this big enterprise would be anxious to reach the markets at as early a date as possible. The time element would be governed largely by the topography of the country through which the pipe lines run as well as other circumstances, but the people of the city can rest assu-ed the work will be done as rapidly as possible." Of course, no work will commence until the franchises are granted. Mr. Collins is largely interested in the development of the natural gas fields in Monroe and Summers counties, W.

and in a big gas well at Bozoo. His is the pioneer development company in that having been actively engaged in drilling operations for about three years. Arrangements were made last week, Mr. Ivery said, to put in action two more strings of tdblsand drill five more wells immediately. With this progress in the development, the Collins interests are naturally turning to the market in the surrounding cities and towns for the sale of natural gas.

The No, 2 well at Bozoo, from which will come the supply for this city, Mr. Ivery said would yield 2,800,000 cubic feet ot gas per day. Since the pioneer activities ot the Collins company began, Mr. Ivery said, there are other people representing various companies who are acquiring or trying to acquire leases. However, ss yet none of these has projected any drilling activities.

Jfn the preamble to the governor's detailed counter-attack upon the Lexington candidate for governor, Dr, Brown was asked where he was when the measures which he condemns the Democratic party for passing were passed. The governor said: "Where was Dr. Brown when the 'measures conceived in iniquity', were passed? Dr. Brown indicts the Democratic party -for its record of the past 6Q years. Yet from the time he cast his first vote until 1928, he admits he always supported the Democratic ticket." Governor Byrd took occasion to compliment "many Republi' cans of Virginia, such as Hon.

Robert M. Hughes, ot Norfolk, who placed the good of the state above partisan politics and for whose aid I desire to make the fullest acknowledgment" But the governor claimed that "the revised speech of Dr. Brown is the same speech, dusted off and dressed up to suit the present campaign, that Col. Henry W. Anderson has 9een delivering for the past 15 years." The governor's reply to the Brown attack upon the Democratic administration is his second reply within the past year to Republican assaults upon Virginia government.

The governor thereupon answered in detail Dr.

Brown's Roanoke speech of last week, charging tha Dr. Brown's charges as to the cost ot Virginia government are false, pointing out that he had used wrong road figures and drawn wrong conclusions and that the coalition nominee had condemned the segregation tax system and had played "petty politics" in his inaccurate charges against the Shenandoah National park, a non-political enterprise, in which Republicans and Democrats had supported without regard to party lines. Conts of Commonwealth Referring to the Brown allegations as to the cost of Virginia government, Governor Byrd presented a new analysis of the costs of the commonwealth. "The Republican department of commerce says that the per capita cost of stare government in Virginia is $9.37, while the average of all the states is $9.56," he said.
