BIC EXPENDITURE
KILTED 91 TINGLE
Parliamentary Question May De
lay Much Needed Street Im
provements Indefinitely ,
BUM OF $8,000 INVOLVED
Money, Reuluant. of Bond Issue of
1907, Now Idle in
Bank.
Whether or not the rity has been
authorised to spend *8,000 the un
expended remainder of a bond Issue
made In 1S07, Is a question which
puzzled the members of council at a
special meeting Thursday night.
Thus far, various members have
various opinions, while City Clerk
August and President R. L,. Peters
admit themselves to be at sea. The
latter says he Intends to consult the
city attorney before giving decision.
The tangle hinges on the question
as to whether or not two appropria
tions, once bunched, may be consider
ed separately with effective result,
when they never been passed as a
whole. The proposed expenditure of
*4,000 on the Improvement of streets
In Fall-mount, and of a like amount
on the lmp'ro’ement of Broad Street
Road west of the Boulevard are the
items In question.
A single report on these two ex
penditures has twice been recom
mended to the Committee on Appor
tionment of Funds, and has twice
been recommitted. Thursday night.
Councilman Morgan R. Mills moved
that the committee be. relieved of
further consideration of the matter
and that the <t> ms be taken up
separately. At this point. Mr. Davis,
of Clay Ward, offered an amendment
transferring tbe Broad street Hoad
expenditure to Main street, between
Allen avenu* and Robinson street,
where he claimed curbing la badly
needed
The resolution of Mr. Mill*, for
Reparation war carried. The ex
penditure for F^irmount war then
taken up approved, following which
tha amendment of Mr. Pavla was
Votedon and defeated. Then came a
vote on the expenditure for Broad
Street Road, ard thia too, failed to
paas.
After the vote had been announced
President Peters announced that the
KFalrmount Item had paaaed and
that the Item regarding Broad Street
Hoad had been rejectd. Before the
ruttng could be made final, however,
th point tvaa raised that the recorda
of City Clrk August do not show that
the original proposition had ev*r
been paaaed aa a whole, and that con
sequently. the entire matter I* lert
If thta contention holds good, the
IS,000 must remain Idle In bank for
an Indefinite period
Create Saw Inspectorship.
Although the threshing out of the
above question was easily the main
feature of the session, council con
vened for. In the main for the pur
pose of passing on the proposition to
create d third assistant building In
spector.^ Thla ordinance, already
recommended by the Board of Aider
men. was concurred In without op
position. The appointment, which
carrlea a aalary of 1100 monthly,
will be made within the near future
Several others matters recently
recommended by th* Board of Aider
men were also concurred in. notable
among thee* being a resolution in
structing the Committee on James
River Improvements to advertise for
btda for a concrete wharf. Opposi
tion to the resolution was made by
Mr. Hlrschberg, who thought an ad
vertisement for bid* would be prema
ture in consideration of the fact that
not enough funds have yet been ap
propriated to build even a pile wharf
This objection was overcome by the
explanation of Chairman Pollard of
the Finance Committee to the effect
that an additional appropriation will
be forthcoming at the proper time.
A resolution to grant Justice John
Crutchfield leave of an absence for
thirty days with full pay, waa passed,
and MagMtratr Wilbur J-Grigga a-iU

The decision of the chief of police

that neither city has restrictive laws

hers met and cleared their docket. Be- *
fore adjourning a vote of thanks was

When the finance committee ts nnm.
ed by the new Council, which con

least two new members filling vacan
cies caused by the failure of re-elec

It will also be necessary for Council
man Morgan R. Mills to choose between
his membership on the finance and
water committees, and for Chairman
Pollard to choose between the com

Puts Gaff Into Watterson for
Even Making Any Such
Suggestion.
U.VCOLX. NEB.. August 19.—
William Jennings Bryan declines to
approve a recent editorial suggestion
by Colonel Henrj' Watterson, of
Doulsvile, that Bryan should consent
to the nomination of a candidate In
1912 who bolted In 189t>. Bryan serves
notice that he will fight any such plan.
In the Commoner. Bryan says.
“It seems to be assumed upon the
part of those for whom Mr. Watter
»on speaks, that no man is fit to be
a democratic president unless he help
ed to elect a republican president In
the critical campaign of fourteen years
ago. If it would promote Harmony for
the six and a half millions to an
nounce that they will gladly follow
one who laid down his arms and went
over to the enemy, would It not also
promote harmony for those who left
to announce that they will gladly sup
port some one who has an unbroken
record of regularity? Generosity
should not be one-sided
"Mr. Bryan Is not at liberty to con
sider the matter from a purely per
sonal standpoint. He owes something
to the men who have thrice nominated
him in spite of the Influences that
are now at work trying to emasculate
our platform and substitute a re
actionary for a progressive program."

five years, at $4*0 per year, certain
rooms on the west side of Eighth

; meeting in September will allow an
i appropriation aufHcient to increase
the force by at leaet thtrty-ftve men.
and already there are aeveral hun
1 dred applicants for the positions.
The Board of Police Commissioner*
will meet September Tth, and elec*
1 the additional men. provided of
course, council makes the necessary
appropriation.
In South Richmond the greatest
► interest is shown for it has been
tacitly undeleted for some time,
since annexation In fact, that the
' force there should bo Increased by
; eight or ten officers.
The private office of Chief Werner
' haa been crowded for several days
with people who want to be police
men. Th»y file application blanks
and the examination follows after
wards.
The physical examination takes
place after the election, but prior to
the meeting of tha Board all of the
applicants who have great aspira
tions to be policemen will have to
stand to test mentally. They will
be asked about the streets, and the
old bluscoata say this will be the
hardest job any of the prospective
men will have.
Said an officer who has been on the
force for more than a score of years:
"They wju not be able to name half j
of the streets. Lota of them kaser j
that the remainder of the estate be
divided in four equal parts, one to go
to his brother, William Thomas Core;
another to his brother. James Caleb

to be divided between Bovee Dodds

D. Core, of Richmond.
The brothers and sisters brought
suit, setting forth that in order to
pay debts and legacies it would be nec
essary to sell certain property. They
ashed that a partition be made. To
this the executor .demurred, on the
ground that the petition had been pre
maturely filed, that tlv bill was multi
farious, and that it constituted an at
tempt to interfere with the executor,
who had been given full power by the
will, and who hr.d not had time to
properly administer the estate. This
the court overruled.
William Thomas Core. James Caleb
Core *nd Mary Agnes Core were the
complainants, while Bovee Dodds Core,
Christopher Walthall Core and John
Thomas Core, infants; L, Clay Kilby,
executor; Helen Augusta Banks. Nor

defendants.
nothing nbout Fulton and others are
ignorant about Oregon Hill or Sheep
Hill. The ones who are elected will
be the ones who have played on all
of the seven hills of the city and
who know Richmond perfectly."
In connection with the election of
additional men to the force it is also
interesting to the policemen to now
that at least one sergeant Is to be
elected an dthat five men who now
wear the uniform of blue are to be
retired. The commissioners have de
cided that young men shall be in
charge and the speculation as to who
win be placed on the retired list is
the absorbing topic with all of the
policemen.
