THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUJN-T1SLEGRAM, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1915.

NEU TRANSFER LAWS TO COST TOWNSHIP MORE ' t "The new transfer law which will be operative this fall, is unfair to the township corporations In the state, and will cost .Wayne township almost $1,600 more to send pupils to the Richmond schools than would be paid , under.' the old law," said Township , Trustee Edgerton this morning. ' "The law is unfair because it was passed without the counsel of the township trustees, the persons who are affected by the change," he said. "The law was introduced and worked through the legislature by the city superintendents, whose schools will benefit by It." Under the new law the township will be required to pay $6.05 a month for every pupil transferred to the i Richmond high school. The estimate ; on the cost of transfers to the comi mon schools has not been made by the trustee. At the present time, the township pays only $4 a month The ' result of this Increase, according to the trustee, will be that many townships in the state will Ind that It Is ! a financial advantage to build towni ship high. schools rather than pay the i exhorbitant price of attendance In the ' city schools. Estimates Cost. According to the new law, the city board of education makes out an estimate ' of the per capita cost of instruction in the high school. This is submitted to the township trustee and he is required to pay this amount for every pupil in the township who wishes to take work in the high school. The present rate for transfers to the grade schools in the city, is $2.00 a month. The new laws require the township trustee to find out the per capita cost of instruction in the grade schools of the township and this is used as a basis for the transfers to the grade schools in the city. At the close of the school year, June, 1915, the township trustee paid $4,099.50 to the city schools for transfers. In 1914, this amount was $3,364.50. Next year an even larger number of pupils will be transferred to the city schools and as a result of the new law, the cost to the townchip will be greatly increased. "I want it understood," said the township trustee, "that I am not oppotted to issuing transfers to the city school and the township schools- will continue to cooperate with the Richmond schools."

"Once Overs" Lamped Along Main Street

The water wagon appeared to be-the first thing on wheels to hit the pike this a. m., but there was only one man on it - Gosh almighty! but that water wagon Job must be a lonely one. Those Chautauqua decorations on Main street are going to the blink. Wind and rain have played havoc with them. A motor car with four passengers aboard, who refused to give their names, passed through Richmond today bound for San Diego, Cal. They had just returned from a trip 'to the Panama canal, covering a distance of over four thousand miles. "Looks as though there might be some good fishing there," observed a traveling man gazing at some of the mud holes on South Seventh street, adjacent to Main street. Might have been, too, but we didn't have a pole along, so we didn't try. Automobile parties from Tulsa, Okla., Washington. D. C, Los Angeles and Boston, Mass., passed through Richmond today. The hottest Job In the city is claimed by. George 8taubach, on duty at Eighth and Main streets. With the thermometer hovering around the nlnety-ln-the-shade mark it's some hot work standing in the broiling sun all day. Much favorable comment 1b -heard about the hanging gardens at the Westcott hotel. The habit of some boys on bicycles of holding onto the sides of automobiles will result in a serious accident some day. One youth had a narrow escape from serious injury this morning when his wheel slipped on the slippery pavement and he was within an inch of being hurled under the wheels of the automobile to which he was holding. "The Lakes are Calling You," reads a steamboat advertisement on Main street. Let 'em. When we travel it won't be on any lake steamer near Chicago. It will be via a horse and buggy. These warm days are the time when one's mind turns to thoughts of next winter's coal supply.

com gives facts The -verdict of Coroner Morrow following an investigation into the death of .- George Miller, near Jacksonburg, was filed with the county clerk this morning. ' Suicide brought on by 'despondency r over ill health :: was the verdict. -- Miller, who was 47 years old, fired two shots into his abdomen while riding with his son in an automobile from Cambridge City to Hagerstown on July 24. He had mad previous attempts to take his life, according to members of the family.

Listen Men

Overcoats as Iridescent as speckled trout in the moonlight, business suits that follow the "natural line," evening clothes (as a concession to dancers) without lining and light as a feather and fabrics of mossy green, mottled with faint pink. These are some of the things which men will wear this fall and winter and following spring according to advance notices sent to some of the Richmond tailors. The Balmacaan overcoat has been cast into the discard. The frock coat is coming back.

TKIIE MAXWELLr The Lowest 4 4 After Coat" Car

In years gone by automobile manufacturers were satisfied if they could produce an automobile which would run without trouble. Economy of operation was forgotten. The car which would operate without frequent breakdowns was the car that had "the call." Today, there are many cars which will give steady month in and month out service without frequent trips to the repair shop. The Maxwell is famed as such a car, but in addition to this the Maxwell is breaking all records for low "after cost" or low upkeep. The Maxwell earned a victory over 40 other cars in an impartial test made by the Yale University, Sheffield Scientific School. In the test made by the Yale professors, the Maxwell averaged 33.2 miles to a gallon of gasoline at 19.8 miles an hour, with a correspondingly low record for consumption of lubricating oil. - Its light weight, and the increased efficiency of the 1916 Maxwell result in making the Maxwell the record car for low "after cost." Everyone knows that the Maxwell is one of the easiest cars on tires. It is not at all unusual for Maxwell owners to run more than a year without replacing tires. The tire equipment is 30x3 inch tires on all four wheels. The light weight of the Maxwell makes this size sufficient to give exceptionally long mileage from each set of tires. A famous make of anti-skid tires are supplied on the rear wheels. ' " The Maxwell has lowered all economy records for: 1st Miles per set of tires. 2nd Miles per gallon of gasoline. 3rd Miles per quart of lubricating oil. 4th Lowest year-in-and-year-out repair bills.
