CANNOT TURN TOWN

Discrimination Against Private
Stables Won't Help, Says
Richards.
SMITH TO GET PERMIT
Council Refuses to Stop Build
? ing Because of Popular
Protest.
Bs- a vote of 13 to 7 tho Common
Councll last night refused to concur
wlth the Board of Aldermen ln an
ordinancc to prevent tho orectlou ln
tha residentlal section of a stable
where accommodutlons are provided for
nore than four horses. The same
question has been coming up contin
nally. Councllman Cannon took the
ground that lt was unfalr to leglslate
igalnst cltlzens wlthout givlng the
members an opportunlty to look into
!he conditions. His motlon to commlt
.vas adopted.
When I. .J. Smith & Co.; general con
iractors, npplied for a permit for a
private stable- on Choffln Street, be?
tween Randolph and Harrlson, prop
?rty owners Interpose,! objcctlon. Tho
ordlnanco was passed by tho Board
Monday night, to prevall until the
auoption of the buildlng code.
Buslness Intcri'?l?.
Councllman Umlauf led the antl
stable flght. Ha made four spceches.
?"ouncllman Richards, ln 'reply. said
lhat it was unfalr to cliscrlmlnate slm
ply because Mr. Umlauf was afrald the
drlver3 would curse as they rodo along,
or else fall into peaceful slumbers.
'?This Idea of turning Richmond Into a
little heaven." he added. "has gone too
far. We must look out for tho busl?
ness Interests."
Mr. Cannon suggesteel that the 6r
3lnance Commlttee and the Board of
't-Tealth-should confer. "If they report
that stables are a menace." he said,
"T. for o^.-tyill, vote to wlpe out every
stable ,,ln .Richmond." He said that a
hearlng had .been denled to tho con?
tractors.
Mr. FerKUsson declared that they
ivero spending Si.i.OOn a year for labor,
and that thoy deserved fa|r treatment
As a result of the pendlng of the or
iinance to a commlttee>. Inspector Beck
wlll be required to fssue a permit to
the Smiths not later than to-morrow.
There may be another flght slmllar to
that of J. F. Ragland, especlally as
*here is no law to prevent the bulidlng
of a stable used for private- purposes.
For Itcpral of Law.

Members of tho Ftnance Commlttee,

The budget for 100S wlll not be mado
up by the Flnance Commlttee until the
lotter part of Februnry. Last year the
total was $2,337,680.0i;. and thls year lt
wlll run about tho same. In 1907 Coun?
cll made special approprlatlons aggro
gntlng- $300,000, not all of whlch sum
was expended, however.
It was announced yesterday that an

representatlon. and othors have more
than thelr share. There are threo
rr.ombers from Lee, two from Monroe,
two from Madison, nnd so on. This
condltlon has naturally led to the
charge that thero is dlscrlmlnaUori
against certaln wards in the matter of
approprlatlons. Ahlorman ' Bllett, who
, wantod the rules changed so thnt a
member of the commlttee would bo
ineligible for membershlp on others,
declared that thls arrangement would
