conmEN TO VOTE LOAN FOR PURCHASE

Four members of the city council todayexpressed their opinion that the purchase price established by the Indiana Utilities commission for the electric plant of the Light, Heat & Power company as "too high" but all of them favored the city accepting the price and taking over the plant as soon as possible. These four councilmen, Frank Howells, Joseph Walterman, Lawrence Handley and Al. Weisbaupt, also said they would vote for a bond issue to finance the project if necessary- It is believed their views are representative of the large majority of the members of council. ."The price established is too high, but I think the taking over of the privately owned plant will be a good investment for the city," Howells said. "I favor any legal way of financing the project." Says Price Too High. "The price is a little high," "Weishaupt said, "but I favor purchasing the plant. I will vote for a bond issue if necessary." . "The price established is too high but it will be a.good thing for the city to purchase this plant at that," said Handley. "In the long run the acquisition of the plant will be a mighty fine thing for the city. If bonds must be issued then I favor their issuance." ."The price is considerably too high, in my judgment, but the city should not quibble over this. I would not like to see a bond issue but I am for it if necessary," Walterman said. "There is one thing I insist upon if the plant is purchased, and that is its operation along the same lines as a privately owned utility. We must never permit this municipal monopoly

to become a political football. I want

to see the plant employes placed un

der some kind of a civil service sys

tem. I won't stand for any salary grabs either."

VISITING NURSE TAKES WORK OF TRUANT OFFICER

Miss Nellie Oxley, visiting health nurse of the social service bureau, was appointed city truant officer by the Richmond board of education yesterday. The appointment was the result of a conference held by the members of the board. Dr. A. L. Bramkamp and Dr. J. E. King, school inspectors, Fred Bates, president of the social service bureau,, John Melpolder, secretary of the bureau, and Miss Oxley. Mr. Melpolder has heretofore served as truant officer, but the change was deemed advisable because the visiting nurse work of Miss Oxley was so closely associated with phases of the truant officer's work. Sickness is usually the cause of absences and truancies, Superintendent Giles explained today. By devoting half of her work to the schools, Miss Oxley's appointment permits the board to circumvent the nonexistence of a law providing a regular school nurse. Her salary, amounting to either $2 or $2.60 a day, will be paid by the county commissioners.

AUTO SHOW HEADS PLAN FOR PUBLICITY IN NEARBY TOWNS

The committee in charge of plans for the Richmond Automobile Show, March 22-25. is now facing another problem which may result in a delaying of plans and a postponement of the date for the show. A representative from a decorating

firm of Indianapolis was in the city today looking over the interior of the M. Rumely company "building which is

to be used for the show and declared

that a decorator will have considerable trouble in making the interior of the building look attractive. He re

fused to make a bid on the work. Another decorator from Cincinnati was expected this afternoon. The committee, however, is going forward with the plans and in eyent the building

cannot be used for the show; another

location will be chosen. An extensive publicity campaign is being planned by the committee in which people within a radius of fifty miles of Richmond will be attracted to this city to attend the show. Automobile dealers and manufacturers of the city have all agreed to co-operate with the committee in making the show a success. Because of Richmond's prominence as an automobile manufacturing center, the committee hopes to make the- show one of the most extensive and interesting exhibits in the state.

On the Road to Recovery After Severe Illness

Since Vin Hepatica was recently introduced at Clem Thistlethwaite's drug store, 914 Main street, scores of Richmond people have testified to the benefits they have received by the use of this new remedy. A recent statement is one from Miss Kathryn Fritz, who lives at R. R. No. 4, Richmond, Ind. She says: "A few weeks ago I had a very bad attack of the grip, and after getting over it I was in a very run-down condition and almost a nervous wreck. I was so weak that I could scarcely do any work and was very much afraid that I was going to have nervous prostration. I could not eat any kind of food and what little I did eat, soured on my stomach. I suffered from indigestion and altogether was in a very bay way. I could not sleep at night and several times felt like jumping out of bed. "I started taking Vin Hepatica less than a week ago and will frankly say that in the short time I have been using it, it has made me feel like a new woman. I am considerably stronger and in better spirits than for some weeks past. My nervous trouble is disappearing. I am going to take Vin Hepatica until I am thoroughly well, as I feel sure it will entirely cure me. ; Vin Hepatica Is a splendid nerve tonic, and is unequalled in all cases of liver and stomach trouble. It is a reconstructive medicine; it purges the system of all poisonous matter; helps to digest food, and makes rich, red blood. For persons in a wek and rundown condition it is one of the best medicines on the market. The Vin Hepatica representative will be on hand at Clem Thistlethwaite's store, 914 Main street, prepared to meet all callers and answer all inquiries. Remember the name "VIN .HEPATICA."-Advt t

HEAVY STORM SWEEPS OVER BRITISH ISLES

LONDON, Feb. 17. Millions of dollars' damage has been done by the gale which swept over the British Isles, the North sea and the coast of Holland during thejast twenty-four hours. It is feared that there has been considerable loss of life at sea, for at least ten fishing boats, which received no advance notice of the approaching storm, have failed to report to their home ports. They carried a total of eighty seamen. The work of the British patrol fleet of warships has been greatly hampered, and many of the ships had to seek anchorage. However, there was no danger from attack as the seas were so high that enemy ships could not approach the coast. Many mines have been washed ashore, having broken from their moorings.
