The question of improving the bridges of the county without increasing the tax rate is a bothersome one. The plan presented, by Wilfred Jessup for settlement of the Tenth and Twelfth street bridge difficulties is being gone over carefully with a view of carrying it out. Jessup suggested since a longer span bridge is needed to replace the relic at Twelfth street, the Tenth street bridge would be ade quate. Acting on County Engineer Peacock's advice, a concrete arch bridge about twenty feet wider and two rods longer would replace the steel structure at Tenth street. . This would do away with the neces sity of paying for two new bridges and would exactly fit the circumstances in both places. Both bridge are inade quate as they now stand. The engin eer has estimated that the moving of the Tenth street bridge to Twelfth street could be accomplished with lit tle difficulty and that both bridges can be renewed at a cost of less than $25, 000. . The novel plan of removing old bill posters and signs from the Twelfth street bridge and advertising it as relic, was suggested with the advice that this will make people proud to be, able to travel over the aged structure. The plan was rejected.

On first thought one would naturally reach the conclusion that the European war would be a great stimulus to the casket industry but Richmond casket manufacturers, and Richmond Is the center of this industry In the United States, promptly dispell any such impression. "Although the death rate in Europe has undoubtedly been increased over one thousand .per cent, the past three weeks and most of the European casket factories. have undoubtedly been forced to suspend operations, the demand for American caskets in the countries now at war has been conspicuous by its absence,- said one casket manufacturer today. -You see they are so busy killing each other that they do not have the time to perform the usual funeral rites satin lined coffins, pallbearers, undertakers, etc. "As a matter of fact the mortality question has become ""So acute in Europe right now that primitive burial methods have been resorted to. From what I have been able to learn from the press dispatches bullet riddled disputants are collected in job lots and either cremated with scant ceremony or buried in long trenches. If the body of every victim of this war was to be placed in a casket before burial we would have to build about ten more casket factories in Richmond to meet the demand."
