MAKE COMIIITS TO PROPOSED MAIN STi IMPROVEMENTS

Plans of Board to Macadamize Road and for Cement Walks Termed Ridiculous by Property Owners. DEMANDS ARE TAKEN UNDER ADVISEMENT Those Who Pay" Think Gravel Road and Six Foot Walks Sufficient for Unimproved Property. The primary bearing; on the improvement of West Main street, from Fifth street, to the corporation line, which Includes cement sidewalk, eight feet in width, curb and gutter on both sides of the street, and the grading and macadamizing , the roadway, brought a storm of protest at the meeting of the bourd of works on Thursday morning. Thursday was set as a time for the property owners to petition changes in the improvement. A petition signed by practically all property owners asks the board to alter the resolution to read gravel roadway. Six foot walks Instead of eight are demanded. The board took the resolution under advisement . until next Thursday. Levi Peacock, the heaviest property holder, on the West Side, excepting Richard 8edgwlck, presented the petition to change the resolution from macadam to gravel. He first intended to petition for gravel only west of Eighth street, but the first signer demanded that the roadway be graveled along the entire length of the improvement. It Is claimed the additional costs of macadam Is not warranted on ' West Main street "Tfie 'piiBTIc-'tB-'liowling -at the- expense of the National road," said Peacock. "Part of that is paid by " the township. Now the cost of the Main street Improvement is heavier than that of the National road all being heaped on the property owners. West of Eighth street the country Is farm land." . Macadam Useless Expense. "We don't have cas. water or sew er pipes on West Main street There Is no street car line. Most of the lots west of Eighth street are not built tip. Now where do you suppose your macadam street would be after we put In all those Improvements and every lot takes two or three taps?" Peacock quoted the statutes to the effect that no street or other municipal Improvement can be made on which the value of the Improvement la worth more than BO per cent, of the value of the property exclusive of the buildings. He was told this applied to third class cities. Though of more than 20.000 population. ' Richmond will not be In the third class until the ex piration or the term of the present administration. ' Walk Would Look Ridiculous. Prof. Cleveland Chase. another property owner on West Main street, stated he believed an eight-foot sidewalk would look ridiculous cutting through a farm. He said gravel was the proper roadway. Again on the walk question the professor said that In Walnut Hills, an aristocratic suburb of Cincinnati, the walks are only four feet wide. He said that he believed Richmond did not need wider sidewalks than Cincinnati. He asked that the roadway be made along Its present lines. Emmet Crowe, who has built a large home at the corner of Fifth and Main streets, also spoke gainst the wide walks. . Following the statements of the property owners, the board of works took the matter under advisement City Attorney A. M. Gardner said that he thought that gravel for the roadtray would be satisfactory for several years. He favors brick as a pavement when the street Is permanently made, the street car tracks that are anticipated laid, and sewer, and gas and prater mains placed In the ground.

DECIDE Oil SEVEI1 DAY CAMPAIGN TO SUBSCRIBE DEBT

$25,000 Outstanding Against Y. M. C. A. Will Be Secured According to Plans at Banquet Wednesday. SOLICITATIONS ARE STARTED THURSDAY Work Will Be Divided Up With Ten Squads, Each Under t Captains Payable in Nine Months." "Clear the Y. M. C. A. of debt," is the slogan of about 100 representative and resolute business men of the city who on Thursday instituted a campaign to raise 125,000 within the next seven days for that purpose. Final arrangements for the solicitation of the citizens for donations were made at a banquet served a large number of men chosen to do the work at the Y. M. C. A. on Wednesday evening by the Ladles Auxiliary. Much enthusiasm was manifested by the men and the opinion was expressed on every hand that the money would be raised within the prescribed time. The solicitation will be done by the men working in squads under captains. There are ten squads to be in charge of the fololwlng men: Jesse Bailey, Guy D. Miller, Arthur L. Smith, George Bartel, A. L. Bramkamp, Richard Sedgwick. Walter Doan, Henry Deuker, Dr. S. Edgar Bond and Sharon E. Jones. Considerable rivalry is ex pected to be developed among the squads, and the work of soliciting will receive added impetus, it is believed, because of this fact. Between three and four hundred names of Richmond citizens were read at the meeting on - Wednesday evening, and the men best acquainted' with them agreed to solicit them for subscriptions. It Is the intention of those in charge of the movement to add to this list from time to time until every resident able to contribute shall have been included and everyone shall have been asked to aid in clearing the association of debt. To Bulletin Results. The captains of the various squads will submit daily reports at the Y. M. C. A. office regarding the results that have been attained, and these will be placed on a bulletin board in the lobby of the building so that the exact status of the campaign can be learned each day. , , The amount Is to be raised by subscriptions, none of which shall be bind ing, however, until at least $20,000 has been pledged. The subscriptions will then become payable in three quarter ly installments. Everyone to Be Reached.' It is the intention to reach every body in the city who can contribute something towards placing the association In an unembarrassed position. "Everyone according to his means" will be the motto. Several of the lead ing citizens have already given their promise to contribute liberally, and lit tle doubt is felt but that there will be a large number of big subscriptions. It was pointed out at the meeting that all doubt regarding the value and advantage of the institution as a community asset had been dispelled by the record of achievment since it was established. For this reason, it was said, the solicitors should find no obstacle in their path and should be able to easily secure subscriptions. Several of the men present declared they knew citizens who had refused to contribute to the original fund to build the "Y" and who are now going to help clear the association of debt. ' The debt of the Y. M. C. A. consists of $18,300 yet unpaid on the building and deficits in the running expenses and receipts for the three years of its existence which makes a total of about $25,000. This amount will provide for the deficit in running expenses until the close of the year 1912. The Squads. Jesse Bailey, captain; B. B. Myrick, C. H. Moore, A. M. Gardner, Fred White and E. R.

QUARANTINE MAY EFFECT A CHARGE

III G, AEROGRAM Knightstown Orphan Band and Drill Team May Not Be Permitted to Attend Be cause of Measles Scare. PROCLAMATION OF MAYOR IS ISSUED Business Houses Begin Dec orating and Main and E Streets Soon Be Resplend ent with Decorators' Art. PROCLAMATION. Whereas, The State G. A. R. Encampment of Indiana takes place in the city of Richmond, May 17th, 18th and 19th. 1911, Therefore, I would suggest that all business houses and private residences be decorated as much as possible, and these decorations be the national colors. And that all citizens will spare no effort to entertain the old Boldiers inasmuch as we possibly will never have the opportunity of entertaining them again. W.'W. Zimmerman, Mayor. One of the feature attractions arranged for the G. A. R., Sons of Vet erans, and. other patriotic organiza tions' encampment of next week may be eliminated from the program. Mea sles have broken out at the Knightstown Soldiers and Sailors Orphans' home with the result that a quarantine has been established at that place. Unless it is lifted before the dates of ' the encampment the . Home Band and Orphans- Drill -team of sixteen will not be able to take part in the local exercises... The band was to have' furnished music throughout the three days encampment while the drill team was on the program for the camp fire meeting Thursday evening. These two features had been looked forward to with extraordinary interest, and keen disappointment will be felt if the orphans cannot be present. However, as there are but few cases of measles at the home, and no epidemic in existence, those in charge of the encampment arrangements will make a strenuous effort to secure the band and drill team for appearance here as has been planned. This probably means that the authorities will be requested to remove the quarantine in case the disease does not spread and danger of an epidemic Is not imminent. Long Identified With G. A. R. Should the band and drill team not appear at the encampment it will be the first one at which they have not been in attendance for more than fif teen years. Both are features that have long been identified with the state G. A. R. meetings, and they have always been the source of much delight to the veterans and visitors alike. The decoration of the city will be one of the especial features of the encampment. A proclamation was issued by. Mayor Zimmerman on Thursday calling upon the citizens and business men to decorate their homes and places of business as much as possible, and a liberal response is anticipated. Already a number of Main street merchants have had their stores draped with bunting and the national flag by one of the decorating firms which now have headquarters in the city and many more are expected to do so before the week is over. Main street and North E street will be profusely decorated, and along these highways will be strung myriads of electric lights so that the darkness will be dispelled in the night time and the city given a festive appearance. Souvenir Out Soon. The souvenir program prepared for the encampment will soon be issued from the press. It is one of the most pretentious programs ever gotten up for a state meeting of the old soldiers. It contains biographical sketches of Wayne county men who played prominent parts in the Civil war, and also a Sketch of the war-time history of the county. It is illustrated with a large number of cuts of the men whose biograhples are given, and views of interesting sites in and about Richmond. Altogether it is an attractive souvenir of much historical value and worthy of preservation. FLORIDA STANDS FOR CONSERVATION (American News Service) , Tallahassee, Fla.. May 11.
