Purtelle Subsidy Hearing

Saturday arguments will be heard for and against the issue of a court order requiring the county commissioners to call an election to determine if Wayne and Boston townships shall float bond issues totaling $110,000 as a subsidy for promoters of a proposed traction line between Richmond and Hamilton. It is to be hoped that the commendable action of the county commissioners in .refusing to order such an election will be sustained. There are many reasons why the county board should be upheld in its action ; there seems to be no logical reason why such an order should be revoked. The bond issue should not be voted at this time because the entire country is suffering from a serious industrial and financial depression. In the second place, even though industrial and financial conditions were normai, subsidizing of any corporation in which Eugene Purtelle is actively interested would not be for the best interests of the community. This opinion is shared by the directors of the Richmond Commercial Club, which made a thorough investigation and found it to be impossible for the club to lend its support to this project. There is no doubting the fact that a traction line connecting Richmond and Hamilton would be highly advantageous to this city and the district

through' which it would operate south of Richmond, but such a benefit cannot be .-. derived through the proposed project. When conditions in this country are more improved, there will be no difficulty in interesting responsible capital in such a project. Then the question of township subsidies may be seriously considered by the taxpayers. Until that time the conservation of public funds is the policy to be pursued. v : i

What the Fleet Stands For Many Americans with the roar of the European war in their ears are extremely thankful that there is a powerful, efficient American fleet, quietly riding at anchor but ready for any emer

gency. Their dream that "there never will be any more wars" shattered, they are realizing

that the careful attention' given to the navy by former president Theodore Roosevelt, who established its present high standard of efficiency, was the action of far-seeing statesmanship, keenly appreciative of our woeful deficiency in na

tional defense. It has been brought home to

them now that Mr. Roosevelt's attention to naval and military affairs was not prompted by any

love of war on his part, but was a wise and patriotic effort to avoid such a calamity befalling

this republic.

This country depends as much upon its navy for national defense as Great Britain, but has been slower to realize this fact than have the

English,

The European conflict is to impress upon the

American people the fact that George Washing ton's theory, "in time of peace, prepare for war,'

is as sound today as it was over a century ago. But for our splendid navy, the effectiveness of which for a time was threatened, this nation today would be at the mercy of any grasping, unscrupulous power. It is our insurance policy against war. Surely we are rich enough to pay the premiums so long as the world's skin-deep civilization requires such precautions on our part.

Eckrunn's Alterative is a medicine for the throat and lungs which has been found to be very benetlcial, even when a change of climate anil other treatments failed to bring relief.

I stayed at home and commenced taking It the last week In October. IMegan to Improve, and the first week in January, 19, I resumed my regular occupation, having gained 25 pounds, fully restored to health.

Various articles and Interviews have appeared in our papers recently in regard to the proposed Riverside park. I was appointed a member of the west side committee and desire to submit the following in order that my position may be thoroughly understood. I am for this park and will do all I can to obtain this ground for park purposes, but I am opposed to the stand taken by our chairman Mr. Iliff, in which he threatens the city officials with Impeachment proceedings and a boycott against the city light plant as

a last resort In obtaining this park. If he is correctly quoted I will say that he does not voice the sentiment of the committee of which he is chairman or

those we represent. I am also oppos

ed to the attacks being made on the

president of the board of works, Mr,

Bavis. Mr. Bavis and City Attorney Bond are the only city officials that

have shown any respect for the committee. Although especially Invited to attend the various meetings held In

the interests of this park the mayor has seen fit to be absent shifting the "responsibility on Mr. Bavis.. I believe Mr. Bavis is for the park and that he will do all be can for us but he Is tied hand and foot by the mayor and the other members of the board of works. The only fault that I can find with Mr. Bavis is the manner in which ue hopes to obtain thts ground. Mr. Bavis thinks this ground can be obtained by purchasing a little of It at a time, spending a thousand dollars this year, two thousand dollars next year and so on until this ground can be

obtained. In my opinion this ground should be purchased at once, while It can be bought from twelve to fifteen thousand dollars, paying for it by issuing bonds which City Attorney Bond says can be done without increasing our tax rate a penny. What is the use of buying a little patch of this ground from time to time, in the first place It will cost twice as much. The second place it will be years and years before we can obtain all of the ground, the third place why tie up thousands of dollars in little patches of this ground when it can be purchased by condemnation proceedings for half what it would cost by purchasing it In patches. Give us all or none. This ground is not needed

so much for park purposes as it is for

a play grounds. If it was to be used for park purposes only, the city officials would be justified to a certain extent on the stand they have taken. The main thing is for a public play ground a small part of it along the boundary lines for park purposes. We

do not expect a big park stocked with j animals and birds, simply a place to rest after tne day's toll and the place for our children to play. There are eight parka and one play ground located east of the river. The west side has one park and that has not even been improved, not even cleared of brush and dead trees or the grass cut We spend thousands of dollars educating our children in the schools, purchase beautiful pictures for them, give them a musical education and then what do we do? Turn them out in the .streets and alleys to play. A . fine place to develop criminals and the worst of places to develop them

physically and mentally most of the criminals today get their first start down tne path in the alleys where they learn all that they shouldn't and nothing that we try to teach them in our homes and schools. Go out to the public play grounds in the east end and you will find the boys and

girls busy playing the various games, showing physical development on a par with their mental training, you will not find any of them on the

streets or In the alleys. Then let us come .to the territory west of Eighth

street what do we find? The streets and alleys full of children with no

place to play, fighting, smoking cigarettes, and taking up all the other- bad habits that will eventually lead them

where? To the cigar' stores, pool rooms, saloons and jails. Let us all join together giving all the boys and girls an equal chance for Improvement both physically and mentally. If we are to be able to enjoy the blessing of parks and play grounds they must be so located that we may reach them without digging down in our pockets and donating from ten to fifty cents to corporations for transportationThere should be a play ground connected with every public school in the city but as this hasn't been pro

vided the next best thing is to purchase this ground as It can be used by th tiAonla not having access to those

on the east side of the river.

Editor Palladium: .

In order to correct the Impression caused by an article in last night's issue of your paper I desire to state

that there baa been no split between Mr. Iliff and myself In regard to th Riverside park question. Our committee will always be found working for better civic and sanitary conditions on the west side regardless of what Mr. Grosvenor or other "patriotic" citizens think. Yours respectfully, JOHN FOSLER.
