CONSIDERATION

THE PROPOSED Exactly two hours and eleven minutes were required at council meeting last night, for City Clerk Baltz Bescber to read the building code ordinance which was prepared some time ago by the Commercial Club and presented to council. Last night there was a special meeting of the aldermen to con sider the important ordinance. There ; was considerable debate after the first reading Club members and city officials criti cising and praising the measure. It was referred to the ordinance and franchise committee, which will meet with a committee from the Commercial Club and board of works, at the call of the Mayor. The Commercial Club's ordinance is a good one, the councilmen think, but there are some clauses that must be revised, to suit the needs of Richmond. Charles W Jordan, secretary of the club, explained to council that the code was merely a "starter"; that the club expected its revision. He said it meant permanent buildings and lower insurance; the protection of the poor man from purchasing unsubstantially built homes and from unscrupulous real estate men, but, he declared, such a code does not mean that the poor man cannot build a home. After the introduction of the new ordinance, W. K. Bradbury of the Commercial club, in part, spoke as follows: "The creation of a new city office by the building code ordinance is incidental and not the purpose of the bill, as It is claimed by the mayor. It Is Important to the city that there shall be such an office. Our code is taken from the code of the National Board of Fire Underwriters' Association, considered the most scientific in existence. .We have examined the codes of Marion, New Castle, Muncie, Indianapolis and other cities in drawing up this code. "The new code will reduce the insurance rates. In the eastern cities the insurance rates are lower than in TO STOP COMPETITION Sugar Company Has Four Shipping Points. (National News Association) Washington, June 13. That the American Sugar Refining company regulated its affairs so that the country was divided .between eastern, western and southern shipments was testimony given today before the house committee, headed by Representative Hardwick today. This was a method to prevent competition and to reduce the cost of production. E. F. Atkins, acting president of the American company was recalled today. In response to questions, he added that the western refineries shipped only. as far east as Chicago. This mutual agreement, he said, was brought about by the action of congress in admitting sugar from the Philippines and Ha waiian Islands free of duty. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

Joliet extended a hearty welcome today to the thousands of veterans and other visitors gathered here for the firty-fifth annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Illinois.

TO BUILDING CODE the west because the buildings are built under building codes. ' Fire losses in cities where there are building codes are from 1-5 to 1-6 of what they are in other cities. Building under the code are built to last for a hundred years. Insurance rates are lowered mainly in the business sections by the application of the code. There will be only little increase in j MOW will ii tumi luc yiCTcuii buildings?" he was asked. "The building inspector could order them to comply with the code," was the answer. Mayor Zimmerman declared that hundreds of poor people could not build home under the code for it would be too expensive. He said the ! increased cost of building would be more than the reduction in insurance. However council did not agree with the Mayor here. Englebert declared: "It isn't the fellow who builds his home, but the real estate man who builds houses by the dozens to sell that the building code will catch. They throw up houses of store boxes and then sell for a good sum. They cheat the working man. The man who builds his own home does it right." C. W. Jordan pointed out that the city would receive $500 a ear as receipts from, the permits issued under the building code ordinance. He said he saved $34 on insurance by having an insurance agent Inspect his home and recommend changes. This the building Inspector could do for the citizens and save them much money. He said the lives and property of the public should not be endangered by the lack of a building code ordinance. In the debate on the wages to be paid the building Inspector, there was a dispute. Some wanted a cheap man and others a good one. Englebert claimed the city "is always trying to save money, when spending it would be for the advantage of the citizens." Wilfred Jessup, and S. E. Swayne, representing the Commercial club also spoke favoring the code. FEELIIIGJSMOTUAL Richmond Wants G. A. R. Again Veterans Willing Because of the success of the 1911 state encampments of the G. A. R., Sons of Veterans, and allied women's organizations here, it would not be surprising to the executive committee in charge of this year's event, that within the next five years there will be a united effort on the part of business houses of the city to get the state patriotic organizations to again hold their meetings here. Not only was Richmond pleased with the encampments .but the veterans and the members of the other societies meeting here were so well pleased with Richmond, that they said they were willing to come on the next invitation by Richmond. Financially nothing of the kind ever held In the city has exceeded these encampments. In addition to the large crowds of delegates, there were thousands of visitors in the city who came both to see the parade, the decorations and to trade. These matters will be touched upon at the meeting of the executive committee at the Commercial Club rooms late this afternoon. It is probable that reports will be made and finally approved by the committee. The report of the treasurer will show a balance of several hundred dollars, although the exact amount has not been given out. Sporting Gossip National League catchers are mur dering the ball this season. Dooin, of the Quakers; Bresnehan. of the Card! nals; Meyers, of the Giants; Simon, of the Pirates; and Graham, of the Rustlers, are all hitting over the .300 mark. Lou Evans, of the Cardinals, thinks "Rube" Marquard. of the Giants, should be one of the greatest pitchers in the world. "He',s got everything. says Lou. "He's left-handed, lopsided, wry-necked and crazy, and; if that combination doesn't make a good pitcher, I'm a sailor. WITH THE BOXERS. Harry Lewis has returned home af ter a most successful trip to Europe. Joe (Kid) Lee, the Chelsea bantam Is trying to get on in a bout with Johnnie Conlon. Phil Brock, the Cleveland light weight, is in the hospital in Cleveland, having his eyes treated. LODGES TO DISCUSS SALE OF BUILDINGS On Friday evening the optional agreement of sale of the Odd Fellows building will be debated upon by the members of the different lodges at the meeting of Whitewater lodge The latter lodge owns a large majority of the stock and in the transactions for the purchase of the building, the probable purchaser, said ' to be Clarence Gennett, - has dealt with repre sentatives of this lodge. The other lodges are given the same opportuni ty to sell, but are more reluctant to dispose of the building and will be given opportunity to express their opinions. The optional agreement of sale has been signed np between the representatives of the two parties. However, the action of these is not binding until Whitewater lodge by ma jority vote of its members indorses the optional agreement.

MAY HOLD SUMMER SCHOOL HERE AGAIN Although the summer school of 1910, attended by pupils in the public schools who had either failed in the spring term or who wished to make up an extra grade, proved to be of great benefit, no effort has yet been made by either the school officials or the directorate of the Young Men's Christian Association to revive the school this summer. But because of the success of the 1910 venture it is probable the school will be revived. This summer instead of being for boys alone It Is expected that the plans tor the school will provide for girls too. In this case the school probably will be held at one ot the public school buildings Instead of the Young Men's Christian Association building.
