But few if any public improvement leagues organized in Richmond have worked harder for the betterment of Individual communities than the "West Richmond association. During the year of its existence, not only was he Seventh ward divided, brought about by the agitation promoted by both the West Side Improvement organizations, but the Riverside park movement, one of the most important public improvement enterprises launched in Richmond was fathered and although nothing tangible has been accomplished toward its realization, strong efforts wlU be .made by the association to make the improvement a reality. The mail boxes Save been re-arranged that better service might be given the ".Wentin that section of the city, the fire alarm signal system was ch ange d to meet the growing demands of the section. The street have been bet ter cared for than ever before In fact the association has taken on nch a lively work that It is PJ grow by leaps and bounds. There is not a vacant house for rent in est Richmond, and this is largely due to the excellent card rstem of advertising which the improvement assoclat on used, setting forth the advantages of being a resident of that section. Through the association also the severarconditions have been improved and present a beautiful appearance. At the meeting Friday night officers for the ensuing year will be elected and committees named. Dur ing the coming year the association will take up with renewed rnergy public improvements still to be realized, namely the West Side sewer system and the West Second street viaduct propositions by aiding the board of works in floating bonds and securing contractors for the work The association It is understood, has several improvement propositions pending and which- if realized, will mean much toward the advancement of West Richmond and indirectly increase in prosperity of the city.
IS NOTHING CERTAIN ABOUT CHANGING DATE Present Telephone Service Must Be Endured.
WORK IS GOING FORWARD.
Work on the new Independent automatic telephone system is progressing rapidly. A large force of men is now employed making tfie connections from the wires to the autorAatic boards at both the central building on North Ninth 6treet and at the three sub-stations located in different sections of the city. A local telephone director says that when this work is done he thinks the automatic system will be
ready for use. Just when the people
of Richmond will receive the new service, which from all appearances will
be a veritable God-send, is not known. The telephone officials are strangely uncommunicative on the subject, and say they are afraid to predict a date on
which the transfer from the manual to
the automatic will be made for fear of
disappointing.

REGULATION WINTER
OXFORD IS THING
This Is the Opinion of a Local
Shoe Man.
EXPENSIVE BUT WILL PAY.
"If the Richmond youth has a de
sire to be strictly up to date during the coming winter he will wear a very heavy regulation winter oxford," said
a well known shoe dealer. This shoe will be made of extra heavy leather with heavy welted soles and blocky heels. The shoe as a whole is blocky. On many of these oxfords there will
be a turnup, or strip of leather fastened on the outside of the shoe
which can be turned up behind to
prevent snow from creeping into the
shoe.
These shoes, or rather oxfords, ac
cording to the shoe man's staement.
will not be cheap. They will sell at prices ranging from $.".," to $T.OO.
Their extraordinary wearing ability, however, will recompense the buyer for the money "laid out" for such shoes.
All shoe leather Is again soaring ac
cording to statements made by shoe men in Richmond. More people are buying $3 shoes in Richmond at the present time than ever before it is asserted.
