FAILS TO ACCEDE PETITION DEMAND Committee Files Protest on Lighting Plan But Does Not Take Initiative for Other System. Apparently members of the public Improvement committee of the Commercial club have Ignored the formal statement of Mayor Robbins and members of the board of public -works that If an ornamental-conduit lighting system is to be established in the business districts the improvement must be made under the public improvement law and a petition of resident property owners filed before any action is taken by the board. Today the Commercial club s public Improvement committee addressed a communication to the board of public works urging an ornamental-conduit system, but it was not accompanied by a petition of resident property owners as the board demands. Apparently the members of the club committee are assuming the attitude that proceedings for the desired improvement should originate with the board without the affected resident property owners petitioning. At least that is the construction given to the committee's action by several city officials. Committee's Statement. In part the committee's statement to the board follows: "The data shows an overwhelming majority for ornamental poles and under ground wires as against the brackets and overhead wiring. "In the light of this Information we recommend that brackets on trolley ftoles be not used for ornamental lghting In the business district, and ornamental posts with underground wiring be installed. "As the matter of property assessment was also suggested at the conference, the questions on this phase were also submitted. As there has been no ODDortunlty to lay this sug gestion before the directors of the I club or the club itself, tne committee can make no authoritative recommendation on this question. The reBult of the canvass, however, also shows a large majority in favor of this plan, and an inspection of the cards reveals that of the 15 members of the board of directors who are at present in the city, 14 answered in favor of property assessment, and one was non-committal. This would clearly indicate what action the board might take on the question if presented. "As this is the data which the board bf public works expressed a desire to obtain through our committee we take pleasure in respectfully conveying to them the results of our investigation for their consideration." The Twenty Year Test. "Some twenty years ago I used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," writes George W. Brock, publisher of the Enterprise, Aberdeen, Md. "I discovered that it was a quick and safe cure for diarrhoea. Since then 1T0 one can sell me anything paid to be 'just as good.' During all these years I have used it and recommended it many times, and it has never disappointed any one." For Bale by all dealers.

BRITISH PAPERS BESPEAK FRIENDSHIP FOR AMERICA

By Laurence Etston, Staff Correspondent International News 8rvlc LONDON, Aug. 8. Editorial appeals to Italy to abandon neutrality and come to the aid of England, France and Russia against "the common enemy of Europe" were made by the Standard, Daily Mail and other papers, while the leading editorial in the Times here praises the United States for its strict neutrality stand. The Times editorial, which is headed "The United States and War" says, "The British people have noted with profound satisfaction during the last four days that the cause in which they were flung virtually has the unqualified sympathy of their American kinsmen. "The United States government has proclaimed an official neutrality, and it is the only first class power of the Western world ihat can maintain an attitude of even apparent detachment. As such there may be reserved for the president of the United States

now a role not unlike that assumed by Mr. Roosevelt in the war between Russia and Japan, indeed, Mr. Wilson already has intimated his willingness, but the time still is distant, as there is much stern work before any government is likely to avail itself of this offer. "The Americans who are now in London assure us that the sentiments of Americans are overwhelmingly on our side. They have been quick to see this war was forced upon us by the ambition of one power, and that Great Britain went to uttermost lengths to avoid it. England acted under the compulsion of its terrible obligations and Holland and Dutch America has long since acquitted .Great Britain of any designs upon the Monroe doctrine, but they are not so sure they could return an equally favorable verdict in the case of Germany. "The downfall of the British empire which would be the inevitable result of the destruction of the British sea power, would paralyze every financial and commercial interest in the United States for at least two decades. They are not convinced, however that the defeat of Germany would have any such disastrous results. "The rise of Germany to the power and influence hitherto enjoyed by us, would be a development inimical to American inter

ests in the Caribbean sea, South America, and on the Pacific coast. It would be a menace to the position and freedom of the United States as a world power."

FLUSHING STREETS COSTSJM A MILE Bavis Submits Report of Department's Expenditures for July. President Bavis of the board of public works today submitted a report of the street department for the month of July, the principal feature of which was the fact that it cost an average of $11.30 a mile to flush the paved streets, 26 miles having been flushed, making the total cost $252.15. The cost of this work was $1.62 more a mile than during the month of July

and five miles less streets were flush ed. All this was due because of the vast amount of dirt hauled over paved streets last month, requiring more laborers and more water to keep them in condition. There were 1073 loads of ashes haul ed in July at an average cost of 67.1 cents a load and a total cost of $720.20. The expenses for other work last month were: Cleaning sewers, $145.20; street repairing, $854.57; cleaning gutters, $24.22; -dumps, $92.60; cutting weeds, $73.00; operating street roller, $63.16; oil inspector, $49.60; work on public buildings, $10.40; fountains, $1.12.

When France declared war a la Prusse Napoleon III didn't mean to declare war to Germany.

(Advertisement) PURTELLE FIGURES BELIEVED TOO HIGH Local business men have been figuring out the probable cost of the traction line from here to Boston and the amount of earning which would be required to pay Interest on the preferred stock. According to Purtelle's figures. CharleB W. Jordan, secretary of the Commercial club has figured that the net earnings above cost of operation wuold have to be $2,000 a mile to pay six per cent interest on the amount of the stock required to finance that stretch of road. Mr. Jordan does not accept Mr. Purtelle's statement that the line from Richmond to Bnston would cost $250,000. He has toured, according to former surveys mai out of the city that such a line should not cost more than $130,000. Purtelle said he would furnish or raise sixty per cent of the capital required and that fort per cent would be local capital. The outside capital would be $78,000 and the local capital $52,000 while Purtelle asks for $110,000 or more than twice the amount. Perry J.
