){ Hichmond received .? temporary
tetbuck iit least lust night when thel
.?itIncus of the Glitter Park voted tw|
?ominue the present syst?.m of volun?
tary government for two >eurs. It Is
iclicved, however, that the annexation
>t fjinter Park is simply a matter ul
lime. This view is given strength by
the fact that in the motion to continue
ihe Independent government there wo.?
\ proviso that a committee should b'ii
appointed to Consult with the Council I
of the' city of Kielimond as to thej
t?-rms upon which annexation could be
affected.
Tue report of the committee ap?
pointed 10 consider the ?iticstlons oi
annexation ami self-government was
read to the greatest galhortnt, of
Gintei Park citizens ever held. The
report was unfavorably to annexation
and advocated the contlnuatloii of tne
present system of government. Under
the existing system, residents cf. the
Park pay a tax of tiliy cents
per $H"j on taxable value?. There is!
about $1,000,000 taxable properly In,
Glntcr Park.
Although there was some sentiment''
for annexation, this was dl owned
when the report was read. Those

out that -the w ar company had done as
much for tin Wcsth?mpton people, and
the expense in this case would oe.even

a determined light for this arrange?

CAUSES DELAY ON ELECTION
Method Now in Vogue Here
Regarded as Cumbersome
and Expensive.
At an informal discussion of the
? resent election laws of the .State, the
Council Committee on Printing und
Claims last night decided to cull to
he nttciilien of the Richmond dele?
gation apparent inadvertencies In the
aw In regard -to preparation of
ruling lists, which entail a large nn
ilia) cost on the city, and make voting
(low and tedious. The Constitution
cqulrcs that a voter id be qualified
mist have paid his capitation tax for
.he three years preceding, at least six
iiohlhs prior to the general election,
ind the Constitution says that the
lection officers shall be furnished with
'.< list" of the voters who have paid,
Hid are so iiuulitled. Hither under
ionic statute or under the construe
Ion placed on tho law by the Klch
nond officials, election Judges are fur
lished with throe, lists Instead of one.
Alien a riliken offer.- to vote he Is
lelayed until his name Is found on
hree separate printed lists, each of
Item voluminous books. While there
ire approximately I'?.000 qualified
'otcrs In Richmond?that Is. voters
vlip have paid for all three years and
irjs arc entitled t" vote probably
wlce that number have paid for one
>f the throe years past, and so are I
listed on one of the three lists fur
llshed election Judgc.1, therefore
Hiving to cull through twice as many |
tames as Is really necessary to find
chether the applicant Is entitled to
?ote.
Instances were cited of citizens^with
inportant business win- had actually
eft the polling precincts without
utlng, after being delayed for ?ome
ime, while the judges searched tlrst
me list and then another to sec
vhother they were qualified.
Ailillilonni KxPcosc <<> City.
In addition to this delay, great ex?
pense Is enta'lcd on the city. The
lerk of the Hustings Court, vlio make.
jut this list, Is onlttled to 3 cents for
'ach ten words, counting inlllals as
ivor.ls. Instead of furnishing one l'al
if the actually qualified voters ? p?ssl
jjy in.noo names of three words cMCh ?
the custom has been to furnish three
icpurate lists, with a largely Increased 1
lumber of names, making tin- fees for
copying three or four timer what Is
necessary.
City Printer Civile W. Suunders, who
ivas present at the meting, said thai
ivera the Hs; limited to those who were
actually qualified to vote in the elec?
tion tor which it is made. Instead of
listing each name, three llmos and in?
cluding all of the names who had mad*
ns iiu.ny as one payment in three years,
the raving In printing cost alone for
tach general election would bo more
than $".00. Mr. (founders said thai,
when a member of the commission j
which corrected the voting lists aflei
the annexation of 1906, he. had made
recommendations for a single list of the
actually qualified voters to be fur-'
nished to the Judges at each precinct,
so that there might be no question
when any otic presents himself, wheth?
er or not his name appears, but that
the plan, which lue believed would
save several thousand dollars a ycat
and be of great convenience to the
voting public, hud never been followed.
Members of Ho- committee will take
the matter up with the Richmond del?
egation in the <J- ncral Assembly In case
any simplification of the statute on
the subject Is found lo be needed.

CHANGETGQ OFTEN
IN SCHOOL BOOKS
Speaker Byrd Thinks Virginia Is
Neglecting Essentials in
Education.
There are. too many different kinds
of school books In Virginia; changes
nre too frequent and too coatly, und
the currlculums urc too crowded in
the public schools, suld Speaker Byrd
yesterday before the Ilouso Committee
on Schools und Colleges He was ar?
guing for the bill which was Intro?
duced by himself und Ahlen Bell, re?
quiring the Ktulo llottrd of Education
to extend tho existing contracts tor
grammar school books for four years,
and for high school books six years,
and In case any book in changed; to
give the reasons therefor In writing to
tho General Assembly.
According to Mr. Byrd. there Is great
unrest over educational conditions in
Virginia. There Is too great a ten?
dency to go ofT at a tangent, and neg?
lect the essentials, such aa reading,
writing, spelling and arithmetic?too
much of tnnchlng side Issues and leav?
ing pupils In stich conditions that they
cannot wrlto a correctly npuilrd and
intelligent letter.
lf.0 had Rreul regard, ho said, for the
people at tue head of the educational
systom, and did not doubt that many
of the'r theories were good, ntid neces?
sary. But bo thought the whole thing
disorganized, and that It Is lime to
slop ami catch up with conditions.
Superintendent .1. A. t'. Chandler, o:
t Kiehinond schools, also deplored
multiplicity of changes In rchool books,
but thought that children's lntero<l
Rt.ouid not be killed by making thein
go through a book ngetn and again?
Iber,, should br some variety. He
wr.nted no wholesale change, but alao
did not want three, sett of readers
covering largely the same things lie
pleaded for ltborty nnd freedom.
"Vo-.i had better plea,) for s'lf-pre
scrvat'oti." said the Speaker.
The committee decided, to hear from
the Attorney-General later. Superin?
tendent Egg. Ic.lt Ion ;ald be thought lie
and tlm patron:, of the bill could get
together.
