PETITIONS TO OIL COVER ALL STREETS
At a meeting of the board of public works today a motion was passed that a petition for street oiling filed by residents of any part of any street .would be considered a petition for the oiling of the entire street, and that each street oiling petition -would be
approved unless successfully remonstrated against by a majority of all the residents of the street in question. The board does not desire to have the city assume the responsibility for the collection of all delinquent street oiling assessments. The board merely desires to pass upon all petitions for street oiling and make the contractor responsible for the collection of all assessments. Asks Bond's Opinion. City Attorney Bond was asked to prepare a,, written opinion as to whether the state law pertaining to etreet oiling obligates the city to collect all delinquent assessments; if not whether the contractor assumes all losses; whether the city is liable for paying the cost of oiling in front of vacant lots, and if the city is liable for delinquent assessments it shall pay the contractor for the same and then place the assessments on the tax duplicate as a lien against the affected property, with interest at 6 per cent per year. There have been quite a number of
oiling petitions ' filed with the board
but the majority of them ask for the oiling of only small sections of a street. If the board permitted oiling to be done in this manner there would be many streets with unoiled strips, which would be very unsatisfactory. Therefore the board has decided that the entire length of a street must be oiled or the improvement not made. File Complaints. Accompanying nearly all petitions are complaints against the condition of the streets, many of which are in frightful shape, the natural result of
the false economy policy of the last administration which ordered its street commissioner to place such thin macadam surfaces on the streets that they were worn into ruts within a year after they had been made, for the most part. The board's attention was called to the condition of South A street, macadamed about three years ago with a shallow surface. It is now as bad as an unimproved country pike, in
marked contrast with South Fourteenth street and the first block of North Tenth street, made with deep macadam surfaces over six years ago and which are today almost as good as when they were made. To Make Repairs. The board is going to put the macadam streets in the best condition possible this year, but if all the streets which needed remaking were
so improved the city would be bankrupt before next January. The Light, Heat and Power company notified the board it would start men to making repairs at once where laying of mains had necessitated digging in the streets. The following are the oiling petitions filed to date; South A street. Thirteenth to Sixteenth, 8 petitioners; South Fifth. A to B. 12 petitioners; Richmond avenue, Doran bridge to West Fifth, 54 petitioners; North Fifteenth, Main to F, 27 petitioners; North Twelfth, Main to A, 7 petitioners; South Fourteenth, Main to A. 12 petitioners; North A, Tenth to Elev
enth, 4 petitioners; Norm faixieenin. Main to C, 13 petitioners; Kinsey, West Third to West Fifth, 16 petitioners; South Twelfth, Main to A, 13 petitioners; North Ninth, Main to E, 32 petitioners; North A, Fourteenth to Sixteenth. 4 petitioners; North Eleventh, A .to D, 26 petitioners.
INSPECTOR DOOMS COUNTER MEASURE
GILES USES MOVIE IN FLY CAMPAIGN
The latest allies of the anti-fly forces are the schools of the city. Every scholar will see the "fly-movie" that is being shown at the Murrette this week. Tickets have been distributed to all students.
"This is no flash-in-the-pan campaign, but a systematic fight for the extermination of the fly," said Superintendent of Schools J. T. Giles, this afternoon. "We intend to get right down to the bottom of the question and do the thing up right, but, of course, this cannot be done in a day's time." "With the co-operation of the civic bodies, schools and clubs of the city we are certain of accomplishing good results. The children of Wie schools will be enlisted in the fight and every means taken to eradicate the pest," asserted Mr. Giles. The films being shown at the Murrette this week offers a good illustration of the deadly work of the fly. The film traces the steps in the evolution of the fly, its breeding places and its haunts. The reel exhibits how
the fly visits filthy places and then alights on the food on the table.

"Conditions In Richmond so far as observance of the state weights and measures regulations are concerned are above the average, and your local inspector, George McKlnley, is doing good work and appears to be a very competent official, but there is going to be a stricter observance of the regulations in this and all the other cities of the state," said John T. Willett, chief weights and measures Inspector of the state, today at the con
clusion of his two days inspection of
conditions in Richmond. Mr. Willett and Inspector McKlnley
made a thorough Inspection yesterday
and today. Four scales were con
demned and taken up, also quite a
few defective measures. A creamery
company was notified that the weight
of all butter sold by it must be la beled on the butter wrappings.
Local commission merchants were
notified that in the future they would have to sell all their staples by the weight and not by the measure. Counter Tacks Go. The two officials called upon Secretary Jordan, of the Commercial club, and Mr. Willett notifeid him that all dry goods stores must dispense with counter tack measures and substitute yard stick measures. Mr. Jordan said
this order was acceptable to tne ary goods merchants and would be complied with before May 1. Saloon keepers were notified that in tho future all liquors sold by the quart, pint and half pint must have the quantity labeled on the bottles. Willett even visited a state institution, the insane hospital, to see if the scales used there were giving full weiEht.
Peddlers, Mr. Willett notified Inspector McKinley, should carry scales on their wagons so they would be sure to know that each bushel of vegetables they sold weighed 60 pounds and each peck 15 pounds. If a measure of vegetables or fruit does not come up to the required weight the salesman is liable to prosecution. "I don't believe the women of Richmond are going to have many complaints of short weights and short measures this year," said Inspector
McKinley after Mr. Willett had left the city.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the Sidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like "you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue Is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids In the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink.
