(Continued From Page One. proposed improvements of the police and fire departments.
During the debate Councilman Burd-
sall remarked that complaints had been made to him that the police tour
ing car had been used for "joy-riding" purposes. Burdsall said he did not believe these reports were true and paid President' Eversman a high compliment for his supervision of the police
department affairs.
Weishaupt had also heard reports that the police car was used for "joyriding," and adding that "perhaps
these reports are true, perhaps they are not," then declaring that if the city
or Dayton only needed three machines for its police department the city of Rlehrond ?ould ertainly - get along with only one machine. Furthermore Weishaupt charged that the police used poor judgment .in responding to ambulance, calls, some times sending
the police car when the horse ambu
lance was required. He cited one In
stance, where a woman was badly In
jured, that the machine had been sent to the scene nothwithstanding the fact
that the patient could not be hauled in ft. ! ' Touring Car Needed. "Mr. Weishaupt does hot know what he is talking about," shouted President Eversman. "When an ambulance call
comes in we always inquire whether the machine or the ambulance is want
ed. I took the call Mr. Weishaupt speaks of and was told, that the machine was wanted. We do not use
the ambulance except when absolute
ly necessary because itis not fit to use and because it take's too long to get it to and from the scene of the accident. That is the reason we are asking for a modern motor ambulance. As far as the touring car is concerned that is an absolute necessity. It performs services that a combination ambulance-patrol could not be put to. It is used for emergency caljs constantly. If" that machine is sacrificed for the combination car then there will have to be five or six new officers added to the force, and the police
board has the authority to make these
increases.
Councilman White urged both the
i motorization of the fire department
and the purchase of the ambulancepatrol. He declared it was a disgrace for this city to continue the old horse ambulance in service. He said that no less than three people had died in this wagon recently when their lives might have been saved if they could have been gotten to the hospital soon
er. Councilman Handley also urged
the improvements proposed for the
two departments.
Mayor Robbins took occasion to re
mark that if the improvements proposed were ordered another bond issue, would be required. The question of paving Richmond avenue, from Doran bridge to West Fifth street, and paving Fort Wayne avenue, from Main street to North D street came before council on remonstrances. The two ordinances were allowed to take their regular - course. Council in the meantime will make an inspection of the two streets. Council was informed that these Improvements can be provided out of the public Improvement fund. After an ordinance had been passed repealing an ordinance authorizing a temporary loan of $80,000 for the electric plant purchase, the ordinance authorizing ata $80,000 bond issue for the same purpose came up for third reading and was passed without discussion. The first two readings were given at the special meeting last Saturday night.
Chief Goodwin sent a communica
tion to council asking for an appropriation to meet his expenses incidental to attending the convention of police chiefs at Newark, N. J., the latter part
of May, which he has been ordered to attend by the police board.- This mat
ter was referred to the finance committee. . On complaint of Councilman . Burdsa.l council ordered an inspection made of the Washington avenue bridge to determine whether it was safe. The city attorney urged this action. Waidele suggested that some action be taken to prevent the fast driving of automobiles near school houses.

AGRICULTURAL
Continued from Page One. , . been increasing while the agricultural supply and production has. remained stationary., Now if i times of peace we are using all the products we grow then it will be fact that if we become embroiled in a war we will face just what Germany, England and France are facing. - ' "So it is necessary for us to begin solving our agricultural problem.
. "I feel confident that we can meet
the situation. I don't think we are get
ting all we should get from the coun
try. Even in Wayne county some farmers are getting forty bushels of corn from an acre of soil, some are getting as low as fifteen bushels and some as high as seventy five bushels an acre. "It is possible to do more in Indiana. Production can be increased. "With the proper care and attention you can in Wayne county Increase the prpduction of corn, five bushels an acre. -
"Part of the problem is feeding the people. We have poor people buying sirloin steaks but who. won't buy milk
which is more valuable as a food.
"Conservation of food supply and proper feeding of people is part of the
problem, I repeat. - . .
"Alfalfa should be grown by Indiana.
Conservatively, $100,000 should be
gained a year on Wayne county farms.
Those are the returns we should be
looking for. '
"There are great opportunities for agriculature and better satisfied
people. There is appropriated $150,000 by Congress for Indiana through the
Smith-Lever bill and more than a
million dollars is appropriated through
the Agricultural department.
"Contracts of Purdue university and
other institutions with the nationj.1
government departments provide for
co-operation and assistance bein
given to the county agents. So that
when Wayne county dropped iti coun
ty, agent the co-operation of Purdue university was automatically dropped. "You can't restore agriculture in one
year. We should start immediately
and organize. "We understand your board of edu
cation wants a county agent. County
agents are not sitting around on the fenca but I think we can assist you in getting a good, competent man for
this place and put Wayne county again
on the map of Indiana." ,
SEXTON
(Continued From Page One.)
gestions have been made relative to
the proper platting of the grounds, us
ing Mr. Clear's knowledge of the loca
tion of graves, but the matter has been defrred until now everlastingly too
late.
According to a statement once made by Clear, the first recognized burial in Mound Hill cemetery was that of an infant, named Ockerman, in 1812. It is said, howveftmlfrT hil(Lof some west-bound pioneer was buried in the yard two years prior to that date, but
no record was made. ' "-
In ' the cemetery are the bodies of more than 325 soldiers, the first of
whom buried was a man named Ash
inger, who died at the inception of the Civil war. The graves of Captain Peter
O Cain and Captain James Mulharen, after whom the local Grand Army of
the Republic post was named, are with
in the confines of this burying
ground. To the efforts of the sextons and Mr.
Clear, who had served as assistant for forty-five years, Mound Hill presents an appearance of beauty excelled by
no other in Ohio.
Mr. Clear is survived by his widow
and two children. Patrolman Chas. E,
Clear and Minnie Shillingford, wife of Frank Shillingford. Arrangements for funeral services have not been an
nounced.
TAKE LENTEN OFFERINGS.
Special Lenten offerings will be
made by members of St. Paul's Lutheran church during the season which
begins with Ash Wednesday, March 8, according to announcement of tho
Rev. Conrad Huber today. Mr. Huber said that Lenten boxes with a pastoral letter will be distributed among members next Sunday, and
they will be asked to contribute a
sum daily.
EXPECTS PLANT
Continued From Page One. not less than $200,000. If we are still
able to maintain the ratio of forty percent for operating expenses, and there
is no reason why this cannot be done, the plant's 1917 net earnings should be, as a minimum, $120,000.
"After the $80,000 bond issue is re
tired in August of next year it will be possible to divert all earnings from that time on to June or July of the following year into a special sinking fund, created for the purpose of; retiring the original building bond "issue of $139,000, which does not mature until' 1927. So by June, 1918, thera would be an amount in this sinking fund sufficient, at three per cent compound interest for the ensuing nine years, to equal the face value of the building bonds when they mature in 1927. This being the case it will be unnecessary to place any plant earnings in the sinking fund after June or July, 1918. Then having provided for all the plant's bonded indebtedness;, the city can take advantage of that law which permits the placing annually Into the city's general fund, out of the plant's earnings, a sum equivalent to six per cent of the plant's valuation. With its share of the plant's annual earnings the city will then have an adequate income, plus its tax revenues, and many needed perma
nent public improvements can be pro-
viaea ror wunout the necessity of resorting to temporary loans or bond issues. , - "It is not the intention of this administration to consider any electric rate reductions until the $80,000 bond
issue has been retired and the neces
sary sinking fund created. This will not be a hardship, to Richmond people, who now enjoy the lowest electric rates in the state. , "Late this summer an additional turbine will be installed at the municipal plant at a cost of $32,000, but this can be paid for out of the salvage from unused property of the L., H. & P. plant which should yield at least $35,000."
