IMPOSSIBLE, SAYS ' engineerj;harles City Official Literally Throws Cold Water on West Side Plans.

MAY REQUEST C. & O. TO RAISE BRIDGE

Improvement A s s o c i ation Asks Board to Delay the Paving of Main Street.

fAe Gennett Wednesday Night in "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine'9

There is little chance that plans of

the West Side Improvement association for the establishment of a new grade to the Main street bridge, will be carried through for at least ten years, City Engineer Charles said today after the results of the improvement society meeting last night had been told him. He stated that between $250,000 and $300,00 would be necessary to carry out the plans.He did not aaake a, report at the meeting but will do so later. The Improvement association will be represented by a committee of T. C. Hubbard, Charles Moore and Alonzo Gardner to remonstrate against immediate action being taken in the confirmation of the improvement resolution for the bricking of the Main street hill. The association wants the

board to defer the improvement on the hill, until it has been ascertained it the level of the bridge can be changed. The West Siders want the bridge built on a level or as nearly so as possible to eliminate the dip under the C. and O. bridge. This would establish a grade crossing at First and Mala street. The dangers of this were discussed at the meeting and it was suggested that a watchman could be placed there at all times. New Bridge Necessary. Engineer Charles said a new bridge probably would be necessary as it is doubtful if the required changes could be made in the present bridge to fit thf change. The bridge as it stands, will last ten or fifteen years, he believes. The West Siders presented a plan of entering First street, giving access to the Starr Piano company, Minck's Brewery and the power plants in the river bottom by running a street parallel with Main street west from Second street through the front yards of the houses Qn the. north side of the street. It would be so arranged by arches that there would be no interference because of the changed grade. This would necessitate an addition of about 420 feet of bridge work although steel would not be necessary. The bridge would come out at Second street. The railroad track would be one foot Jfigher than the bridge and a change in, the grade would be necessary. Public Not Liable. These matters were carefully considered by the improvement association and Attorney Gardner advised the members that the supreme court rulings for the last five years, holds the public not liable for damages to railroads when new grades must be established to conform with street gradings. City Engineer Charles may suggest to the improvement association when he makes a report next month, that an effort be made to have the C. and O. bridge raised one foot. He stated this will eliminate much of the trouble which is the cause of the demand for a new bridge. The matter of cost makes the plans of the organization "impractical, city officials said. The county builds all bridges, Including those in the city. The city government is expected to keep the bridges in good repair. Mr. Charles stated it is doubtful if the county would consent to pay anything towards such a change. To the Democratic Voters of Wayne Township.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining

of the Eustachian Tube. When this 1 tube is inflamed you have a rumbling j sound or imperfect hearing, and wheu j it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of j the mucous surfaces.

all the available money tied up, will be impossible in the future. Ready money on legitimate collateral will not be obtained on demand at any time from the regional reserve banks. When money is needed for crop movements it will be readily available and other legitimate business enterprises will also be aided by the new currency system." Mr. Gayle admits that there are imperfections in the new currency act, but that they are overshadowed by its many good features.

Mr. Seeker explained that at the present time national banks are required to place in reserve 15 per cent of their deposits in reserve banks of their own choosing, on which funds they receive interest. Under the new currency bill 12 per cent of deposits in banks not in a reserve or central reserve city, such as Richmond, must be placed in reserve in banks themselves, and in the regional reserve banks. No interest, however, is paid on reserve funds by regional reserve banks. This loss of interest, however, will not effect local banks, ' for they will no longer be required to maintain theiu practice of keeping from 25 to 35 per cent of deposits in reserve for emergencies and can keep their reserve much closer to the limit prescribed by law, because money in any emergency can be readily obtained from the regional reserve bank upon legitimate collateral. 1 Features of Bill. i The principal features of the new currency bill are: Issue of currency, guaranteed by the government, based upon notes and hills representing commercial transactions and backed by a gold reserve. The new currency expected to contract and expand to meet the varied demands of trade. j

Concentration of the bank reserves of the country in regional institutions capitalized by the banks and controlled by directors elected by the banks. Creation of a market for the negotiable commercial paper which forms the bulk of the assets of the banks, where, in time of stress, those assets may be easily and without loss transformed into cash. Establishment of from eight to twelve regional hanks, 'which will issue currency, rediscount paper and centralize and mobilize the reserves of the local banks. Formation of a federal reserve board of seven members, appointed by the president, with final powers of control and supervision of the entire system.
