LOYAL PATRONS OF CITY'S PLANT PAIO FOR IMPROVEMENTS (Continued from Page One.)

evidence of his efficient (?) and economical administration, a treasury, which, if all obligations had been met, would have been over $54,000.00 in the hole." Now lot ii3 take the present administration. Present Financial Condition. As Mayor Zimmerman is appealing to you for a renewal of confidence, on the strength of his past record, it is proper to relate, that if he hopes for success as a result of that record, he is either unacquainted with it himself, or he thinks you haven't got brains enough to know what a record is. When Mayor Zimmerman assumed office again January 1st, 1910, the general fund contained a surplus of $22,037.42, that surplus has been increased until in January, 1913, it amounted to $40,902.89. This would seem, in the face of the fact that about $15,000.00 more had been spent for public improvements during the present administration, than tor the previous four years, as being decidedly satisfactory. What are the true conditions? It is necessary to again refer to Mayor Zimmerman's speech of acceptance before we enter into those conditions, for he says: "I have built more STREETS and kept them in better condition than that (the Schillinger) administration did." He wants you to think that the building of streets is all there is to public improvements and therein lies the "half truth." What constitutes public improvements: 1st. Sewers. 2nd. The grading and bowldering of alleys. 3rd. Streets graded, gravelled and bowldered. 4th. Streets macadamized. 5th. Cement curbing and gutters. Cth. Cement alleys. 7th. Cement sidewalks. 8th. Repairing and reflooring bridges. 9th. Cement intersection and cross walks.' 10th. Bricking of streets. So the building of streets actually consists of one tenth of "improvements" that enters into the upkeep of i the city. Review of Improvements. To determine the true merits by comparison, let us take the public improvements for the past 8 years and see what a deliberate untruth can be told by telling a half truth. I will separate the costs of the im- j provements, that the actual amount paid by the city might be known, as the bare statement that a certain amount has been spent for improvement is misleading, as the largest part of the cost is paid by the property owners and is no burden to the city.

Estimated While the sum total of improve ments for the latter four years , shows an excess of $38,932.18 over the first 5 years, the property owners paid $23,424.6S of that increase, leaving only $15,507.50 for the city to pay. How much of this $15,507.50 did the city actually pay out of the general fund? Who Really Paid The Bill. Just $12,404.72. Who paid the balance of the $97,406.54 spent for public improvements? THE CONSUMERS OF THE CITY'S ELECTRIC CURRENT. In other words, the Zimmerman administration only paid $12,404.72 for $97,406.54 worth of improvements and the patrons of the city light plant paid the balance. That's who paid the bill, and the net constitutes a direct robbery of the consumers of electric current, that he Zimmerman might build a record for public improvements, to better his chances for re-election and only be required to furnish $12,404.72 from the city finances to reach that end. If the city, or the Zimmerman administration, had paid for the lights used by the city, what would have been the results? How Tax Raise Avoided. Upwards of $80,000.00 of the light plant's money has been used, and one of two things must have been the inevitable; no public improvements, or an Increase or 15c on the $100 valuation to the taxes could not have been avoided, and still have the surplus he claims. So the success of the administration consists of evading the payment of its debts and in applying the money that should have been used for debt paying purposes to public improvements, that a surplus might be created for political effect. HAWKS TO SPEAK FOR TEMPERANCE "Sunshine" Hawks well known in this city will devote his services as a lecturer in the interests of the AntiSaloon league. Mr. Hawks made this announcement before leaving this city a rew aays ago. Me win speak m i In an effort to stimulate enthusiasm among those who will advocate the passage of a state wide prohibition law which is being framed by the league. The bill will be presented to the 1915 legislature session. DIRECTORS TO MEET With the Idea of discusscing matters pertaining to the coming membership campaign the directors of the Richmond Y. M. C. A. will meet in the spa tonight at 7:30 o'clock. The various diTisions of the campaigners will be taken up and plans formulated. All directors are urged to be present.

Who is This Genial Old Friend

rr With the Conventional Beaver Hat?

SINCE THE PALLADIUM PRINTED THE CUT OF THE MOTE PICTURE OF THE OLD MEETING HOUSE OF THE FRIENDS IN THIS CITY, SEVERAL REQUESTS HAVE EEEN MADE THAT IT CONTINUE THE PUBLICATION OF PICTURES OF HISTORICAL IMPORT. TODAY IT OFFERS A CUT OF AN OLD FRIEND. UNQUESTIONABLY, HE WAS A LEADER IN THE CHURCH YEARS AGO. WHO IS HE?

Contentment and happiness beam from the face of the old gentleman whose cut adorns this page. His hat iu of the style worn by the Friends of many years ago, and seldom, if ever, seen on the streets of Richmond, the Quaker City of the West. Time was when the old beaver hat was as common on the streets of Richmond as modern headgear is today. The cut will recall to the older residents days that are forever gone. In many an attic will be found hats that old pioneer Friends wore. The Palladium will gladly print communications identifying the wearer of the hat depicted here.

WHITACRE'S PLACE

FILLED BY WHEL H e a 1th Officer Appoints Brick Mason As Superintendent of Crematory. To take the place of William Whitacre as superintendent of the city crematory, City Health Oificer Davis appointed Harry Wheeling, a brick mason who for some time has been doing the repair work at the plant. Dr. Davis' action followed the disappearance of Whitacre who has not been seen or heard from since the evening of October 6. Dr. Davis said the appointment of Wheeling would save the city not less than $100 a year. Wheeling, he said, would make all repairs, which in the past had been done at additional expense.
