CITY AUDIIOH
Council Committee Allows Phil
harmonic Society Special
Rate.
After hearing a statement of E. A.
Hoen, the Council Committee on
Grounds and Buildings last night re
sclnded Its former action and granted
use of the City Auditorlum for a se
ries of four concerts for $15 per night..
Jlr. Hoeu stated thai. the organlzatlon
was pltrely voluntary for the purposes
of advanclng musical educatlon of tlie
public, It being planned to sell sub
frcriptlons to the serles at a nominal
price. No proflts wlll aecrue to any
af the promoters, as should there be
any, after paylng expenses, the asso?
ciation offers to turn them over to the
Assoclated CharltleB. Chalrman Bat
kins opposed the motlon as setting a
dangerous precedent ln grantlng spe
rial prlces and underbldding the tlie
ntres and public halls, whlch hold
licenses and pay city taxes.
The City Englneer was instrurted to
rurchase a bnggy for the kecper of
AVIillam Byrd Park. again over tho
jirotesi of Chalrman Batkins, wlio
thought lt an unwise precedent for tho
clty to la-igln furnlshlng pleasure ve
hlcles for parkkeepers. It was repre
eented that the parkkeeper would use
the vehlcle for haullng small supplles
and tools to and from the park, and
ihat the clty had already purchased
a horse for the keeper's use.
Blds were openjpd for repnirs to
"Washington Ward ..jail*'' James Fox
& Sons bld J993. and R. L. Bass 985,
the contract belng awardod to Bass as
the lowest bidder. The appropriation
for the purpose is $1,000. An agent for
the Good Roads Improvement Company
asked an allowance of $70 fnr harrel
Ing and storing oi], and the claim was
allowed. It was stated thnt tln- clty
had bought a tank car of oil for treat
lng drlvewaya in Gamblefa Hill Park
last fall; that the roads had not been
property graded. and the use of oll
dressing was postponed until cold
weather came on, when lt becamo
necessary to put It in barrels and
atore it until sprlng.

CHANGELAWASTO
Applicants Put Up Checks Ten
Days Before Issuance
by Court.
Accordlng to an amendment to tho
ordinance governing the appllcation
for clty liquor llcenses, dealers wlll bo
liermltted to flle their checks accom
panylng the applicatlons twenty days
later than was the case last spring.
Tho amendment, whlch was approvod
Octoher 25, provldes that certlfled
cliooks shall be deposlted with the
Commlssloner of tho Revenue "at least*
ten days prlor to the dato on whlch
such appllcant deslres tho said license
to bocomo cffectlve." The old law re?
qulred the deposits to be made thlrty
days before the license became effeo
tlve.
The llcenses under whicli the s.aloons
are now operatlng, wlll explre on Jan?
unry 31, and those for the new year
will be ln force on the followlng day.
Appllcation must be made to tho com
mlssloni'i* in the handwrltlng and
slgned by the appllcant and must be
accompanled by a certlfled oheck for
$,*i00. lf all re.qulrements of the law
nre complied with, tho llcenses will bo
certlfled to Judgo Wltt, of the 1 lustlngs
Court, who wlll formally authorlze
tho bars to do businoss.
The amendment was passed because
lt was thought a hardshlp for the
liquor dealers to have tlielr money tled
up for such a length of tlmo, especial?
ly whon neither thoy nor the clty could
derlvo any boneflt from It. Though lt
created quite a good deal of lnterest
when under dlscusslon ln the Councll,
a number of dealors are sald to have
overlooked the fact and are preparing
to deposlt their checks Janunry 2.

Approved liy Attorney.
Tho actlon hus been under consid?
eratlon for some months, and was
finally approved at a meeting of the
Clearing-House Assoclatlon held on
Wednesday afternoon. That actlon was
taken subject to thc opinlon of the
attorney for the assoclatlon as to the
legallty of the action and Its con
formltv with the natlonal banking
laws. Attornev George Bryan delivored
a written opinlon to Presldent Wllliam
II. Palmpr, of tho Clearlng-House As?
sociation yesterday mornlng to the ef?
fect thnt such action wns within the
authorlty of the assoclatlon, and It
was at once announcod In all tho
banks that the early closlng would

The new rule of the Clearing Houso
will affoct all the members of tho
assoclatlon j that ls, all of the larger
banks of the clty, and all banks clear?
ing through members, whlch practi?
cally means all banks doing buslness
in Rlchmond.
.Mlller Gives flcanons,
John M. Mlller, Jr., vice-presldent
and eashtor of the Flrst Natlonal
Bank, suid' yesterday that the actlon
wus a resuit of tho steadlly lnereaslng
volume of buslness of tho Rlchmond
banks.
"Hours of banklng ln various citles,"
be explalned, "are flxed largely by
local conditions and the runnlng of
mail tralns. ln New Vork City bank?
ing hours are from in A. M to 3 P. M.
Charlotte, X. C, and Atlanta have
banklsg hours^from 9 to 2,
"Rlchmond thore than almost any
clty of Its size of whlch I know is a
Jobblng centre. Our wholesale houses
deposit an enormous number of coun?
try checks for collectlon, and bv clos?
lng an hour earlier we wlll have a bet?
ter chance for worklng out the bank
mails and iii" many oases save a clay ln
collectloji?not an inconsiderablo item
whero large amounts are Involved.
Cntch Ertrly Trrtlns.
"By clojjlng at 2 o'clock a large part
of the bank mail can catch the 5:15
P. M. Seaboard traln for New York,
and so be rflstributed all over that cltv
on the firsl dellverv wlthout fail,
whlle practically all 'of the Northern
bank mail can bo ready for the S:20
V. M, traln. As lt ls now, sometlmes
on heavy nights our mail ls not all out
untll S or 9 o'clock. Besldes the New
York mail. thore are heavy mails
North, East, South and West, leaving
on afternoon and ovenlng tralns. it fs
of tho greatest Importance to all tho
hnnks that this large volume of out
of-town checks be worked over and
mailed In ample* tlme to catch tralns,
and so reach their destination as early
as practlcablo on the followlng day.
l/nlform I.iiiich llnur.
"A matter ln whlch customers of tho
banks are more Interested ls the an*
noyance of flndlng offlcinls and clerks
out at lunch. Those havlng accounts
wlth any bnnk comlng ln for trans
nction of business between 12:30 and
2 o'clock are liable to find thelr Indi
vidual bookkeeper. or the man who Is
handllng thelr tranffictlon. of the bank
nfllclal wlth whom they deslre to deal,
out at lunch. With clerks reportlng
for duty at S A. M. It has boen manl
testly imposslblfi to work through
wlthout a tlme for lufieh. and during
the buslest hours of the dav nearly
one-half of the force of any bank
is liable to be out.
"It ls understood that linder the new
rule all of the banks wlll rcqulro all
of thelr clerks and ofllcers to be ln the
banks contlnuously from ft to 2 o'clock,
In order to wait on the public ln the
most efllclent manner possible. After
