Recently Commissioner George 1'
Coleman announced that his depart
ment would have only $l.S00,(lfl0 for
new contracts in 1022. Shortly there
after State Auditor C. Dee Moore
made a lengthy statement at the
request of Delegate K. T. liondurant,
in which he estimated that there
would l>e more than $20,000,000 avail
able in the two years. Commissioner
Coleman then came back with an
other ? ta?.? mont pointing out where
in he considered Auditor Moore had
been wrong.
Governor Trinkle made the next
move with a request to Captain
Smyth to make an investigation, in
cluding cvonsultation with Commis
sioner Coleman and Auditor Moore.
The Governor's request made public
yesterday by Colonel Parke P. Deans,
his sofi?""tnry. was as follows:
"Will you please furnish me with
a statement of the amount of funds
that will be available for the High
way Cornmision of Virginia to use

struction on the Slate highway sys
tem during the years 1022-23?
"I wil ask you to consult with
the Auditor and with the Highway
Department, so when I receive your
reply, it wil give the facts, as I am
desirous that the people of this State
kii'W the exact status, as far as
possible. as to the available funds
during these two years for contracts
to be let for new construction on the
highway system."
tteply of t'nptnlii Smyth.
To this request. Captain Smyth re
ports :
"1 have your letter of the 7th in
stant. requesting a statement from
me of the amount of funds the State
Highway Commissioner will have at
his disposal for road construction for
the year 1022. Without entering Into
the detail by which I have arrived
Ht the result. 1 find that after provid
ing for existing contracts and gen
eral expenses, the State Highway
commissioner will have at his dispos
al for road eonstmetion $ 4.4.'? 3.1 00.40.
Of this amount he has a further lia
bility for funds advanced him for
rr.rid purposes, amounting to $1,157.
07S. that is included in the above
balance. which may or may not be

"For the year 1023 the funds esli
mated for road construction amount
to $3,<63.314.21. derived from appro
priations made by the General As

and the allotment to be made by the

PROHIBIT TURNS t? LEFT

Police Seek to Minimize Dan
ger to Pedestrians at
These Places.
With the object of facilitating traf
fic on llroad Street, both vehicular
and pedestrian, and to minimize ha
zard. the tratlic department of the
Department of Public Safety has es
tablished three zones at busy Inter
sections, whereby left-hand turns by
vehicles are prohibited.
These zones are at Fifth. Sixth and
Ninth and llroad Streets. At theso
points, it is explained by Captain
Samuels, of the Tratlic Kureau, num
bers of narrow escapes Have been re
ported. Danger to pedestrians
in crossing llroad Street at the corn
ers mentioned, had reached its height.
Captain Samuels said.
"Something had to be done, so we
arranged the plan which is now in
operation," he said. "No vehicular
turns may be made to the left at
either of these corners. When the
'stop' signal Is given for Broad Street,
the side crossings are open for pe
destrians. If automobiles are per
mitted to turn at this time, the pe
destrians will he subjected to im
minent danger."
The hours for operation of the new
ruling at these points are: Fifth and
Sixth and llroad Streets. 3 1'. M.. to

simple business proposition that
would appeal to any city in Virginia "
This amount was subscribed before

Need for HpIIkIoIIm Training.
I>r. DuUose. who is well known in
Richmond, called attention to the
command of Christ, "f!o y, and
teach." All of the larce co ilexes
Mad been started with religion as a
basis. Opinions of some of the
leading educators In secular coi.
leges showed that they recently bad
awakened to the fact that there was
need for religious training t.. n;\e
a complete education. "The drstinv
of the nation." he said, "depended oil
th? schoolmaster,"
The present situation which was
attracting irenerai attention was du<
to the negligcncc of the church. |)r
PuBose stressed tlie great value of
the piit.lie schools and State colleges.
He thought it the duty of the Stale
to educate the masses. The Chris
tian college was for those who con
templated religious work or was t'oi
the undergraduate. It would take
the youth when the mind was in
the most receptive state and implant
religious principles.
