Following a tw?-h?ur speech by Cap?
tain John Lamb, tin- regular meeting
of tho South Richmond Democratic*
Club, hebl last night at Fraternal Hall,
ended in a row. The controversy arose
over an attempt to reconsider action
of the dab taken earlier In the eve?
ning in passing n resolution permit?
ting a mass-meeting scheduled for to?
night In Washington Park to be held
tinder the auspices of the organisation.
Former Governor A. .1. Montague hnd
announced that be would address the
voters of the Southslde to-night.
The on', ndlng resolution was passed
without opposition before Captain Lamb
was Introduced. During hl? speech
friends turned the situation over In
their mlhdS, anil when he concluded.
Commonwealth's Attorney Charles L.
Page jumped to his feet and In an im?
passion.,! speech Implored the voters
to reconsider. Men of both factions
were on their feet, and it was with the
greatest dlftlctlty that they could be
pn< Hied.
\\ (ten order had been restored. Mr.
Montague's s'apporters agreed to a mo?
tion to reconsider. A roll call was de?
manded, and by parliamentary proceed
lni-v as Interpreted by President Carter
C. .lones. the motion was lost. The llgb^
then began, with Deputy Sergeant .lohn
Hastings und Parkkeeper J. Lacy Hed

demand, President .lones stepped down

the closeness of the small hi]'. His!
s;>e,.. ii, while a repetition of the re- J
mark? made at the courthouse last
week, proved interesting,
He dolled any man to point out any?
thing he has done wheih ought not to
have been done, or anything left un?
done which should have been done. He
told of the benefits his work had done
the city, and particularly for the South
| side, citing the free delivery and Man-)

pointing out that sine,, he has been In
Congress more than $1,500,000 had been i
appropriated for Improvements on the j
.lames River.
In his references to his opponent.
Captain Lamb put emphasis on the.
phrase, "a mnn who is sc..king to re
enter public life," and told his audience
of what he had (lone toward electing]
Mr Montague Governor of Virginia and ]
how Mr. Montague, in the last tlght|
; had been his supporter. As a warning
! he pointed to the scriptural Injunction:
?'Thine own and thy father's friend
forget not."
Although expressing his confidence
of carrying the city, Captain Lamb Is
confident that even if he should lose
Richmond by a majority of 1,200, the
rural districts will elect him. He ad
1 vised his hearers to talk over the sitli

CHAMBER TO HAVE
TEN-STORY HOME
Contract Awarded for New
Structure at Sixth and
.Main Streets.
NORFOLK FIRM TO BUILD
Manufacturers Exhibit and Other
Commercial Bodies
Get Space.
After a long conferem between 1".
Percy Loth, owner. Pollard Je big by.
agents, and Cariieul a- Johnson, archi?
tects, the contract foi ih< erection ot
tlie new Chamber ,?: Commerce and
Manufacturers' Building ?t the corner
Of Main and Sixth Streets was award?
ed last night to R. II. Itlchardson
Sons, of Norfolk, at thi approximateI
price of 1200,001), for tin- building ??om-j
pleated.
According to the terras of the con-]
tract the new structure Is to be ready j
fcr occupancy by April 1"'. 1913, and
th, contractors will at ence begin con?
st! action. The old building which was,
the home of the Voune Men's Christian
Association, bus already hen pulled
di wn und is now ready for the exca?
vation work Incident lb i muk anoth?
er skyscraper. A representative of
the successful contractors was here
last night, and said thit his company
would at once establish an olllco here.
Teh-Story Structure.
The building will be ten stories, con
.?articled j{ brick, steel und concrete
and absolutely fireproof. The first two
stories will be of llm. s' he, the six In
t-t mediate stories oi light brick and
the two top. tloors of terra cotta. Thol
cost per cubic foot considered, this1
will be one of the most costly office
I buildings in the city Mr. Loth said
last night and no plans W'll be spar,-<l
in making It the equal or supeilor
of any building in the city as to com?
pleteness and modern conveniences,
i The new building tukes its name
I from the fuct thut whvu its construe
'ilon was first proposed the Chamber
of Commerce, whose ? i?l home was
; s< Id to make way for the new struc?
ture of the First National bank, de
(.?ltd to tako up quarters there ns
I soon as they were available, The
Manufacturers' Exhibit, which was or
, gunlzed toon after, alsii asked for
looms, so it was decided that the
building should beal tin- names of the
two commercial Institutions. Already,
the Chamber ?f Commerce, which now
occupies cramped quarters In the Mu?
tual Building, has signed up for the
unth iloor, and the Munulacturers' Ex?
hibit will occupy the entire space of
the fecond und third ? tolle?. On the
j ground floor there will be room for
two stores on the Mam Street side and
two on the Sixth Street side. livery j
Iloor will tie built with the idea of;
complying with all office requirements,!
and each will be capal le of holding
vaults, which may be necessary for
various business purposes.
Prautlcally All space Taken.
Though the Chamber of Commerce
land the Manufacturers Bxh'bit are
the only organizations that have act-,
! ually signed up for space, it is under-!
Stood that nearly every room In the
new building will be roated before the!
construction work is completed. Ne?
gotiation!! are now on between the'
j agents and at lean tiro other com-:
rtiercial organizations for quarters, and I
a number of private concerns ha.e also
put in application for quarters The.
promoters look upon th's as a vindica?
tion of their original Idea that the
demand for office spae? is moving
westward, along with ether business
interests.
I The property < u which the new
building Is to be erected was placed
i On sale soon after the Young Me- s
Christian Association moved from it .,
its presetit quarter.- nt the corner rf
Seventh and Grace Streets
Hotel Scheme Abandoned.
For some time it remained wlth'ut
a tenant or buyer until a little more
than n year ago it was purchased by
Mr. Loth Hi what was then considered:
ti blyr price. The nthere was. a gre t
deal of speculation as to what the final
disposition would be. Many jtorles
that it ha.l been resold, and at least
one that a large hotel would be built
on the site, were circulated until it
wan Anally announced that Mr. Loth
would erest an office bUldlr.g.
That was somt tune ugo. ar.d the
decision of the Chamber of Commerce
and the Manufacturers' Kxhlbit to
make it their permant home, caused
the owner to j lan the bu'ldlng. Out of
several architectural firms that pre
sented plans, he selected Cnrncal ?>i
Johnston. There we.ro several con?
tractors bidding oh the plnns. a mn

N< rfolk i ohi ei n offered the most at

Auditor's Ruling Will Be Tested.
Jiig Increase in Richmond
Realty Values.
More than Jlo.OOO.vPO of the prop?
erty of the city of Richmond win this
year .for the first time, pay tuxes toj
tiie State of Virginia. That is. unless
the assessment is tit tented in the
:c arts. Arrangements tor a legal test
are new being muUe.
Tills comes about under a ruling 01
State Auditor C. l.ee Moore, foi titled
by an opinion from Attorney-Oenerul
Siimuel \Vi Williams, Which construes
tile law so us to permit the State to
assess and tax the property ol muni?
cipal corporations whlcil Is used for
purposes of prollt. for Instance, the
Richmond city Hull is ,101 taxed, but,
were the city to rent out one of its
ofiice rooms to a Citizen, the entire
l.t-lldlng would then, under the ruling,
become taxable.
Will las! III.? ?33,000 the Vclir.
So It Is that lite valuation placed
upon the city markets, the City Audi?
torium, the water a>'stein, the gas plant
and the public sewerage of the city of
Richmond, all of Which produce In?
come, appears listed for taxation on
tiie laud books, which will be tiled this
morning In the Office of the Auditor
Of Public Accounts. The total as?
sessed value ol city property Is $10,
183,000, un w hich the city will have to
pay the State, unless u can be suc?
cessful In the courts, the sum of $35.
640.60.
In addition, the new books contain
property owned by educational and
philanthropic corporations, such as the
Retreal for the Sick, the University
College of Medicine. Met Uli Catholic
L'nion, Memorial Hospital and the
Voung Men's Christian Association.
These have never btfote paid tuxes,
but, under the same ruling ->f the
Auditor, they must be assessed for
State taxes because they reap some
income from their porperty. A simi?
lar test will be made It, the case of]
these institutions. Should the Statt
win, these properties will also be tax-j
ed by the city.
lllu \"\ ItutldliiK Value.
The real estate hook-, of Richmond
for 191L'. which will be complete to?
day, show a total assessed valuation
or. property, Including land and build?
ings, but not personal propertv, ol
$92.539.341. This Is an apparent in?
crease of $13.237.560 over 1911, but
most of this comes from the addition
of city property and that of the Insti?
tutions referred to. Th< actuul net
Increase, which represents the assessed
value of new buildings erected during \
the year. Is $1,752,640. There Is no;
change In the assessment of land, as
that is made once in fiye years.
Should the State ,-T,llrct the tax < ri
the entire amount. Including that part
which will be contested, it will get
?4C.3;?.&4 more, money from the people
of Richmond than it did In iOll, when
the total State tax on realty from this'
city was $277,556.74, against $32.t.SS6.6S I
to be paid this year.
Of the $92,539,341 of real property,!
$$9,714,524 Is owned by white peopli
and $2,S24,Sl7 by colored people.
\Vnnt? Hospital? iu ray.
The Retreat for the Sick is assessed |
(two pieces of land) at 115,700, and
will pay a tax of $47.S5, The Unlver; I
slty College of Medlclno. assessed be-]
cause of Us hospital. Is valued at $51.- j
800, and will be asked to pay $110.60.
The State wants js5.75 from the club?
house of the McGUI Catholic Union, on
a valuation of $24,500. From the Me?
morial Hospital (two pieces) there Is
asked taxe.- on $53,120, amounting to
Sl ?5.92. The Young Men's Christian
Association is the hardest hit, for It
Is assessed on a value of $177,000, on
which the tax will be $615.50. It Is
understood that a test case will be
made to ascertain the courts view of the
law.
Next year the Eiks' Home will be
taxed, If the ruling stands, since it :s
regarded as In the light of a club- j
house, like the Westmoreland and
Commonwealth Clubs, which are taxed.
It turns out thaj the city property
now assessed for Plate taxation for thi
first time was valued by the land ase.s
sors In 1510, although it was not ex?
pected that it wotild.be culled on for
