Q'oulke, who Is a stockholder of the Ullchmond City Mill works, a proceedting -was instituted in the Wayne Circuit court late Thursday evening for tthe appointment of a receiver by the company. This action was taken not "because any creditors of the concern nre pressing: for payment of any obligations by the concern, nor because the company is not in any way defaulted jipon payment of any of its indebtedness. It has been evident for some time that the company was not doing sufficient business to maintain itself Wit a profit, and, for that reason, it was considered advisable to place the concern in the hands of a receiver for the purpose of stopping further losses and jn order to treat all creditors and oth
ers alike. "This company has been in existence tince 1S7j. and has from that time to the present employed upon an average from 75 to 1 men, and. in the period of its existence has expended in the city of Richmond, considerably more than a million dollars in wages. It is hoped that the appointment of a receiver is but the first step in the general reorganization of the business. The character and reputation of the products of the Richmond City Mill works, are the best, and something over six thousand flour mills have been built by it in all parts of the United States and Mexico. "The permanent discontinuance of the company of the size and character
of the Richmond City Mill works, would be a loss and detriment to this
community, but it is hoped that the
appointment of a receiver is but the beginning of a general plan of reorganization which will place the concern in a prosperous situation and enable it to ro forward after business to re-establish itself as a large factory in the industrial life of this community. "No schedule has as yet been made fjf assets and liabilities, because receiver Henry T. Eurns has but just qualified. "However, it is believed that the assets will equal, if not exceed the liabilities."

north and east sides of the structure. The hay market ground will not be disturbed as it stands at present, other than to be rolled by the heavy city roller. Slight repairs will be made on the market house proper, but these will not be at all extensive, but such as are absolutely necessary. When completed, the general appearance of the market house will be improved, and the slimy mud and water in which the farmers have had to stand when selling produce from their booths, on rainy days, will be a thing of the past. Some Question Remains. There remains some question as yet as to just how far out into South Sixth and A streets the cement gutters shall be built. Xo decision in regard to the matter has been arrived at. In
order to properly protect those holding booth rights along the curbs, a six-foot cement gutter is thought best. The small strip of ground between the sidewalk and gutter as it stands at
present, will be cemented over and all the rough stone slabs which has heretofore afforded protection against the
mud, between the sidewalks and mar
ket house proper, will be removed, and a cement floor put in on a level with
the sidewalk. The south side of the market house will be paved with ce

longer.
