POLLUTION OF STREAMS
Special Committee of Council
Outlines Its Legislative
Work.
Five specific pieces of legislation'
have been requested at the hands of
the Oencrul Assembly by tho city of
Richmond. At a meeting of tho Coun?
cil Committee on Legislation Affecting
the Interests of tho City, held at the
City Hall yesterday afternoon at fl,
o'clock. City Attorney Pollard called
attention to the fact that four of those
contemplated changes In the charter
of the city, which would have no effect
elsewhere, and which therefore would
meet but little objection, while an?
other contemplated a State law for tho
protection or streams from pollution,
In which the city would be bitterly
opposed by pulp mlllB, Iron furnaces
and other industries which now empty
all manner of rctuse and coloring ir.nt -
tor Into the waters of the upper
James River*, costing the city of Rich?
mond, it has been estimated, {12,000 a
year for coagulants, to remove the dis?
coloration and lmpuritlas not natural
to river water.
Four Charter Change*.
The four specific changes to Us
charter, which tho City Council by
Joint resolution approved by the Mayor
has Instructed Us special committee
to seek at tho hands of the Legisla?
ture, are the charter, amendments
creating tho Administrative Board and
defining Its powers and duues; an
amendment giving the city the author?
ity, If It so desires, to establish ind
maintain workhouses and reforma?
tories and to conllno therein prlsonors
now In the City Jail; giving the city
the power. If It so desires, of creat?
ing a fund for the retirement of em?
ployes disabled or grown old in the
.service of the city, who have beer, on
the pay roll continuously Tor as much
as twenty yeurs; and an smendlt.ent
giving the Council, If It so desires, au?
thority to abolish the office of City
Collector of Taxes, and to conrer the
duties on the City Treasurer.
It was remarked that the latter
three changcE merely enlarge the
powers of the Council in these regard.1.,
without committing the city cither to
a pension system, a workhouse, or to
the abolition of the olilce of City Col?
lector. The first Amendment, however,
provides that there shall be an Ad?
ministrative Bourd. and specifies how
and when It shall be elected, and de?
fines Its powers and duties.
The Epcclal committee consists of
Chulrman Morgan R. Mills. Council
men Bowman and Richards, and Alder?
men Moore and Hobson. Mr. llohson
was reported yestorduy as being out
of the city, all of the others being pres?
ent.
Will Ficht Milk BIB.
Chairman Mills ruled that under the
resolution authorizing Its appointment,
thc committee was strictly limited and
could only oek at tho hands of the
General Assembly such laws as had
been requested by properly adopted
Joint resolutions of the City Council.
It may also appear before appropriate
committees of the Legislature in op?
position to any statute believed to be
inimical to the welfare of this city.
Already plans are being laid for a
vigorous protest against the adoption
of the Trockmorton milk bill, which
was defeated lust session, and which
will be relntroduccd, and which hue
for Its object the transfer of all dairy
Inspection from the city Boards of
Health to the State Dairy and Food
Commission. As a member of tho com.
mlttee expressed it. it takes the In?
spection of milk from the consumer
who pays the bill, and places It In
the hands of the producer The Coun?
cil and citizens generally regard the
purification of tho milk supply as by
far the most valuable and Import-ui?
work done by the- present Health De?
partment since its creation In 19011, and
the wonderfully lowered typhoid death
rate in Richmond speaks for itseir.
Members of the committee state that
they have no idea that the Legisla?
ture, to help the political standing of
a few members from the counties sur?
rounding cities, who are bidding for the
dairyman vote, will cripple and hamp?
er what !s believed to be the greatest
health uplift obtained by this city in
many years.
tbnrtrr Changes Offered.
City Attorney Bollard was for twelve
years a member of the Legislature
from King and Queen county, remark?
ing yesterday that during his member- I
ship Councilman Bowman, now a mem?
ber of this special committee, was a
page in the House: and Assistant City
Attorney George Wayne Anderson re?
presented the city of Richmond in the
.Ser.ati for several years. Both arc
therefore familiar with procedure, ami
Will take up the active work of press?
ing thc city's Interests, calling on tho
committee for such aid as may be
needed from time to time.
C'ty Attorney Pollard reported that!
in conformity with the various reso?
lutions adopted by the Council, he had
drafted u bill making the changes In
thc city charter In regard to the Ad
mlnlstratlve Board, and giving thej
Council authority to establish work- i
houses, create a pension fund and, If -t'
so desires, consolidate thc offices f I
City Collector und City Treasurer, and j
transmitted It to Edwin P. Cox. dean .
of thL, Richmond delegation In the'
Legislature. This bill was offered in 1
the House yesterday with the Signa- I
lure of every member of the Richmond I
delegation attached, and was referred '
to the joint com in 11 too on General and '
Special Laws. When reported, by I lift t
committee it must go to the Com?
mittees on Counties, Cities and Towns
of each House and the Richmond dele?
gation will uso every effort to secure
prompt consideration.
Mills Fights for Pare Writer.
Although opposed In the Council to
the resolution looking to an Adminis?
trative Bo:;rd. Chairman Mills was
patron of the resolution looking to an
employes pension fund, and of tho re?
quest for legislation protecting streams
from pollution. Mr. Vonderlclir was
patron of tho workhouse resolution,
and that giving the' Council power to
abolish the city collector's office was
udopted last June, following the ex?
posures of continued shortages under
the administration of Captain Frank
W. Cunningham. Since thon tho office
has been reorganized, placed on' a
