OARD CANDIDATES
HEAR SOME FACTS
Real Estate Exchange President
Tells Them Things Before
Hearing Them.
Interesting facts regarding th? val?
ues of property In Richmond were re?
lated to tile Real Estate K\>.-hange by
President O. H. K?nsten at its meeting
held at noon yesterday. Mr. K?nsten
also sketched briefly the differences
betwien the duties of the city Council
ami those of the Administrative Board.
The candidates for the Administra?
tive Board were invited to address the;
exchange, and some r,t them responded.
Those who spoke were: W. I?, Knowlcs, I
E. C. Kolkes, W. II. Zimmermann, Marx I
punst, Charles F. Taylot, George B. |
Davis, Joint Hlrschberg, John
Moore, George Raul and Charles K.
Richards. Vice-president John
Kaslcy. of the exchange, presided.
The t It}', MTuIr?.
Mr. K?nsten spoke in part as fol-|
lows:
"The real estate assessment at thej
close of H'll for the city of Richmond
was |S3,034.27S To tills can be added
new property which has been erected
during lb. present year and improve-j
Hunts to opt property, approximately
}t,000,000, making a total of ?*"--|
034,275. The personal property as
sessed for the year 1012 was J.SL- i
ioi,703, making a total value, including 1
real and personal property and im-|
provements made this year (1912), of]
approximately $160,000.000. You will
notice that the personal property is
only about seventy-flve per cent of the
reai property.
"The Council, as you know, under
th<- amendment to the charter creating
the Administrative Board, is requ'red j
to levy all taxes, to make approprla- \
tions, to grant franchises, and pass
ordinances. This is legislative and
cannot be delegated: Your city ac- j
countant tells mc that the total gross
receipts of the city this year will
amount to three nnd three quartet
minion dollars, of which approximately
two million will tie expended by yout
Administrativ.- Beard, the otlur being!
appropriated by the council In salaries,
interest, redemptions, incidentals, po- j
lice, schools, and Bonrd of Health ex?
penses. As yon know none of these |
corn.- under the Administrative Board.!
but It Is a fact that should be well
rnrno In mind, that while the city
council has the right to levy taxes,
it is up to the Administrative Board to
see that every cent is spent Judiciously
and every property owner represented
in this eighty-seven million dollars of
value should be keenly Interested to
see that men of the proper calibre
are selected.''

A curious error tins crept into ?111
the obituaries of the late duke, who
was one of the leading French yachts?
