Mayor Reviews

(Continued From Page One.)

tentative of either waiting until we could Increase the tax levy, or by the issuance of bonds. After due consideration, the administration, backed up your honorable body's unanimous support, decided to issue bonds as a means of securing funds for the carrying out the program aforesaid.. Buys Aerial Truck. With this policy launched we were able last year to get for our fire department one of the best up-to-date and most modern fire trucks that could be found in any city in this or any other country. We were able to build and did build more permanent streets than had ever been built before in any one year, and which policy if continued for several years will place RlcLmond at the head of the list of those cities who pride themselves on their well-built and permanent streets. We were able to rebuild and repair a great number of our improved streets with the material taken from those which were permanently made. We were able to make needed repairs on some of our public buildings, to paint all of our bridges and to re-'floor some of tbe same. We extended our sewer system, built a great many cement sidewalks, curbs and gutters and a number of cement alleys. The cost of these betterments for the city was a bond issue of $60,000.00, but very few of our citizens would go back to the : previous conditions for many dollars beyond that sum. Opposes Corporations. The legal department of our city has had two years of busy warfare battling against the attempts of our public service corporations to place upon the people of this city unjust rates for water, and for electricity for both light and power. The most determined contest was that with the Light, Heat and Power company, each step of which you are all familiar, and which had your united support from first to last. We can recall the various step in this controvert.' with our competition In electricity, of how when we were considering the question of lower rates, it was suggested that we purchase the other plant. Of how this, proposition was studied from every angle, and after due consideration had practically the united support of your honorable body, of all of the officials connected with this administration, and of the special committee of citizens who were appointed to help us in the above named contest. The fight on the fixing the purchase price before the Public Service Commission was bard fought from beginning to end and resulted in said commission fixing a purchase price for said utility of $174,155.00 with a reasonable compensation for additions made since July 1, 1915. We have decided that said sum is just and reasonable and we will be able in the next few weeks to turn over the amount of purchase money to the Light, Heat and Power company and acquire their property. Years Will Justify Act. It is our firm belief that a very few years will show the wisdom of this action and will be looked upon with pride by each of you as one of the best accomplishments of your official career. In one year's time, with the money now on hand, this plant can be paid for. In another year the bonded indebtedness against said plant can be secured by the establishment of a sinking fund to take care of said bonds when due. Then will the city be in position to make such a low rate for electricity for both light and power that will be equaled by no other city in the middle west and at the same time be able to turn into the city's treasury a large sum each year, which can either be used for public Improvements or for the purpose of lowering our taxes. And all of this done without using one cent of the people's money, or of the least increase In the way of taxes. Advises Motorization. The experience of the last few years has proven the great difference in the cost of maintenance of the motordriven flre-truck. We would therefore recommend that our entire fire department be motorized this year, not only as a money-saving proposition, but as a means of giving better fire protection to each and all of our citizens. Along this line of motorization, we would also recommend a comblntion ambulance and patrol wagon in place of the old-fashioned, outof-date, horsedrawn ambulance which is now in use. In the matter of building of streets let us bear In mind that the permanent street is the street of the future, that it is a useless expenditure of money to build water-bound macadam or gravel streets, and that even macadam with a binder can not stand up under the strain of heavy travel, and will sooner or later be an expense on

the taxpayers, either to repair or to Tebuild. Our experience leads us to reach the conclusion that we should build no more macadam streets, except those in course of construction at the beginning of winter and which are yet unfinished, and on those streets where there is very little travel. That the same should be treated with tarvla or some other good binder. That the patrol system as suggested by our engineer in his annual report be carried out on all of our old macadam streets and that some good binder or oil be applied to same at cost of the property owners along said streets, and that the permanent street-building policy as started last year be continued and that we build as many squares of permanent streets this year as we did last, the same to be paid for as to the city's part by an issue of bonds. Impediment Removed. In the first communication addressed to your honorable body two years ago it was outlined as one of the policies of the administration, that an ornamental lighting system or "Great White Way" be constructed along the streets in the business section of our city. Thus far, we have only been able to get one square, on North Ninth street, to take up said lighting system, but by the purchase of the Light, Heat and Power Company's plant we will have the impediment which was in the law governing ornamental lighting, removed, and it is our hope that we may be able to get together with the merchants and business men and install said system before the close of the present year. The fight by the Richmond, Light Heat and Power company for an increase in gas rateB will be fought to the last ditch, and we will leave no stone unturned to show to the Public Service Commission that their demand for this Increase is unfair and unreasonable In every respect. In conclusion, I wish to thank you, in the name of the administration, for your hearty co-operation and assistance in the accomplishment of those

things that we hope will be for the city's good, and in the years to come, may that same consciousness of right and devotion to duty, guide you, as you have been guided in the years just passed, and may all of your official acts be for the best interests of the people who have chosen you as their representatives. Respectfully submitted, WM. J. ROBBINS, Mayor.

Brovnell Man Anxious to Stay on Right Track Dayton Boiler Maker Was Aided by Friends Hu-manitarisra.

"I know I am on the right track, and I am goina to continue the Tanlac treatment," said John R. Kruce, boiler maker, yesterday. Mr. Kruce works for the Brownell company and lives at 2721 East Third street, Dayton. "I have had stomach and kidney trouble for some time. I had no appetite and a tried feeling and a constant pain in my back. After eating my stomach got full and gassy. "My work is pretty heavy and having lost my appetite my strength went down to a point that it took quite an effort to keep up my end," complained the boiler maker, "as the remedies I tried let me keep losing ground. I am safe now. "To make a long story short," continued Kruce, "a friend of mine induced me to get a bottle of Tanlac and I felt better right away. The mopey feeling left me and the pain has gone out of my back and I am eating some. No more gas forms on my stomach and I am through with constipation. "To tell the truth," concluded Mr. Kruce, "I can't find words to give Tanlac the credit that's coming to it Just let people try it and learn for themselves." Tanlac is a vegetable food for the entire system. Its delicate adaptation to the stomach greatly persuades its perfect action and assimilation. With the digestive tract in perfect health, other organs resume their normal condition, and none shirk the responsibility that the keeping of vigor and health imposes upon them. Tanlac is now being introduced and explained at the Four Thlstlewaite Drug Stores, Richmond, Ind. adv.

Society Ladies Adopt New Hair Curling Method

Since the introduction of liquid silmerine in this country, it has become quite "the proper thing" among society women, who have readily adopted it in place of the destructive curling iron. The waves and curls acquired by the new method are far more natural in appearance, and tin hair is of course glossier and prettier than could be if the life were cooked out of it. The liquid Is pleasant to use, being neither greasy nor sticky. It is a simple thing to apply with a clean tooth brush at night when the hair is down. The lovely wavy effect in evidence in the morning is all that one could wish for. It costs little to use liquid silmerine, as a few ounces from the druggist will keep the hair in curl for weeks.

PRISONERS

Continued From Pag One. commissioners to use any of the prisoners because of the necessity of keeping a constant watch on them. Visit Nearby Saloons. Complaint has also been made that the prisoners are given too much liberty while at work. ' One of the pris

oners, after his release, ventured the1 statement that he drank more whiskey while he was serving his sentence than when he was out of jail. Prison

ers are left on the first and second floors of the court house while Turn-, key Morgan, who is in charge of them, I goes on other business. Some of the'

prisoners, court house attaches say, walk out the front door of the court house, visit a nearby saloon and return to th-'r work. Several weeks ago, there was a dis

turbance at a colored dance hall in i

the north end. The police were call

ed and no sooner had Patrolman Wenger arrived at the door than Bob Schools, colored, was hurled oat of the door Into him arms. Schools at that! time was serving a aentence at the county Jail and bad six more days on his term. He was taken to police headquarters and Wenger called Turnkey Morgan over the telephone and asked him whether he missed a prisoner. "No," replied Morgan, "why do you want to know." "We have Schools up here and we wondered whether yon didn't miss him at supper time," said Wenger. A few days later, "Sickle" Saines, who was then a prisoner at tbe county jail, was seen walking down the street with his wife. A neighbor woman, who happened to know that Saines was serving a sentence, called up the jail and asked whether Saines was not missing. On Investigation It was

found that Saines had walked out of

the court house.
