D. W. FOWLER.
Commissioner of Revenue.
There are but few men in Albemarle
who are more highly esteemed by all
classes of citizens than is Mr. D. W.
Fowler, our Commissioner of Revenue.
The making out and keeping tax and
revenue records requires the greatest
care, and a mistake made in them
might result in much trouble and expense
to those concerned. In consequence
only the most trusted citizens
are usually given this office. Mr.
Fowler, the present incumbent has
held the position for eight years, having
been elected by a handsome majority
in 1898, and has given the greatest
satisfaction to everyone having business
with the office. During all this
time the duties have been performed
with conscientious care and the records
kept in a most satisfactory manner.
Mr. Fowler is a native of Charlottesville,
and has spent his life here.
During all this time he has always
been held in the highest esteem by all
who know him. Mr. Fowler was
appointed by Judge Duke in April
1897 and succeeded his father who had
held this position and was also
Mayor of the city. Since then he
has been twice elected. He is a member
of the Elks and the Red Land
Club. Mr. Fowler received his education
at the famous old University of
Virginia, where he took a course in
law.
