Establishment of a clinic and medical dispensary for the betterment of the health of the poorer people in the city who are unable to pay for the services of physicians in cases .of minor ailments, was suggested by John Melpolder, secretary of the Social Service bureau, before the recent meeting of the Wayne County Medical society. The details of the plan that he intends to put in practice this summer have not been made, he said today. Under the proposed plan, people Id the county who are deserving of assistance, will be examined free of charge or at a nominal sum. Medicine will also be given in many cases free of charge. The co-operation of the physicians vas asked by the social service secretary. No action was taken by the doctors. "The co-operation of the physicians is absolutely necessary for successful work of the visiting health nurse," said Mr. Melpolder. "The doctors have already promised this co-operation and we are planning some big things when he new nurse comes May 1." TRANSPORTATION Continued From Page One. 2 j the evening so as to give country pa rt trons an opportunity to do their shopping. Wherever possible a double trip will be made each day. Plan for Schedule. - Definite announcement cannot be remade at this time regarding the sched sis,ule as it will be subject to adjustment ?or a week or ten days. . The company will also render special service for the farmers living - Along the line of each truck. An extra truck will be kept by the company for naming stock to market. All the trucks have been equipped with 7 inch rubber tires which will ' serve to improve the roads rather than v damage them. It is believed that by j having trucks equipped with very wide j tires that by the time bad weather deS velops, the roads will have become so packed by constant : pressure of the wide tires that there will be no trouble in operating the trucks the year round. This is proven by the fact that the New Paris line which was the only line equipped with 7 fj inch tires has rolled down the road leading to New Paris so that it is now Z the best highway leading out of the tr city. JiJ The company is making a special :$ effort' to provide service and equip15 ment which will meet the demands of the public. Prepares for Big Year. " - It is estimated that in the course of a year the company will carry freight .cargoes in and out of Richmond which S. will exceed $100,000. This service S should be the means of bringing the ity to the country and insure door to : door delivery for the merchants in the towns surrounding Richmond. The merchants of the small towns i will be able to offer their customers a service equal to that of the city merchant, for they will be able to place their orders in the morning and be ' assured that they will be delivered the ii same day. The new company proposes to serve the mechants of the small towns, as well as those of Richmond, J by giving them a prompt delivery of ' goods. In this way, it hopes to be of 1 a mutual assistance to both. ' Original Plan Blocked. For the last six months numerous efforts have been made to form an organization of the auto truck lines p entering the city, so that uniform ! & rates and regular service could be esj tablished. Some of the drivers were 5 willing to form such an organization but the opposition on the part of two or three interested parties blocked this centralization. St Since August 1 of last year a few of S the merchants and wholesalers have T been contributing to the support of the central station. Mr. L. M. Harlan who has been in charge of the auto station has given his services, thinkj; ing that some arrangement could be m made eventually whereby the truck S owners would pay their prorata share m of the expenses of operating the head- . quarters. w When the drivers failed to form an

organization the truck line business was doomed to failure unless some means could be provided for the continuances of the lines under centralization. It is believed that with the organization of the truck lines operating in all directions in and out of Richmond upon schedule time and under central control, thousands of dollars can be brought to Richmond and at the same time a valuable service rendered to the territory surrounding the city. Company Organizes. With this in view a company has been organized to take over the regular truck lines which are now operating and are willing to enter juch an organlzatlod. The individual truck drivers were given an opportunity to sell their routes p.t a cash figure and take positions us drivers of the organization trucks. All but four of the truck men sold out to the new company and will become a part of the new organization. As all of the expense of the central station will be borne by the new company, notice was sent out today that after May 1st the company will confine the "use of the central station to the truck drivers of the new company. TRAP FOR U. S. Continued From Page Onel dence of this fact. Many of the first chief's other generals have been jealous of the growing power of Gonzales at Mexico City. Rumors Are Denied. The rumors that the Carranzistas would ask the withdrawal of the American forces were without any official confirmation. Consul Garcia, who yesterday advocated such action, explained that in his interview he gave only his personal views and did not speak for the de facto government. The announcement at Washington that the hunt for Villa would continue relieved the fear that spread along the border when Consul Garcia's views became known. "Life on the border would be intolerable if our troops came back without getting Villa," said a prominent citizen of El Paso today. "Before the Columbus massacre the Mexicans raided our ranches with impunity and if the murderous bandits and their leader escape from our army conditions would become much worse. Americans would be no safer in their own territory continguous to Mexico than in the districts across the border." Arrest Alleged Spy. Word reached Ft. Bliss early today that Teddy Samford, alleged to have given to Villa information as to the disposition of the American troops at Columbus, had been arrested in Ascenclon and that he would be tried as a Villa spy. Samford lived at Columbus, but is said to have crossed the border before the raid, met Villa's band and then proceeded to Ascension, where his father's home is located. Washington's decision to send to the Texas border for training the recruits added to the army was received with approval at Ft. Bliss. As soon as the "rokies" are capable of protecting the border the present regulars protecting the long line of frontier will be freed for service in Mexico. Unless Villa is taken at Parral the forces now in Mexico will be too small to continue the hunt and at the same time guard effectively against surprise attacks. Villa has been headed straight toward the Torreon district of Durango, his native state, ever since he left the border. The Carranza officials at Torreon claim that General Canuto Reyes, Villa's chief suporter in that region, has offered to surrender, but this statement is received with great reservation on the border. CITY MAY Continued From Page One. plant would be completely free of any bonded indebtedness. . Interest Costs $53,380. If the construction bonds now held by the Second National bank are not taken up until they mature in 1927, the city will have paid $58,380 interest, on them during the ensuing eleven years. The interest on the proposed three years' refunding bonds would amount to only $16,680. Therefore, if the bank's proposal should be accepted by the city, the plant would save $41,700 in interest. The city plant's present bonded indebtedness amounts to $219,000, representing $139,000 construction bonds,

which ' were Issued for a period of j twenty-five years and $80,000 eighteen j months' bonds, issued the first of this i year to finance the purchase of thej electric plant of the Richmond Light, Heat and Power company. These pur-! chase bonds bear 4 per cent interest' and mature in August, 1917, at which time there will be sufficient city plant funds available to retire them. If $139,000 refunding bonds are issued this year to . exchange for the $139,000 construction bonds now owned by the Second National bank, It would undoubtedly be provided that none of these bonds be taken up next year, permitting the city to apply all the plant's surplus funds for the retirement of the $80,000 purchase issue in August, next year. Method of Retirement. It Ib believed that there would be more than a sufficient amount in the

general and sinking funds or the municipal plant in September, 1918, the year folbondsj to take up half of the refunding bonds, $70,000. Then in September, 1919, the remaining $69,000 refunding bonds could be retired. Under the suggested plan for the retirement of the $139,000 city plant construction bonds by three-year refunding bonds, the city would have reduced its total bonded indebtedness by September, 1919 (providing no other issues were authorized in the interim) from $296,500, which now exists to $30,000. If the proposed $10,000 issue for motorizing the fire department is authorized this year, Richmond's bonded debt in September, 1919, would be $40,000 (under the plan for retiring the light plant construction bonds.) If the fire department bonds are issued this spring, the city will then have a bonded debt of $306,500, or within $45,000 of the constitutional limit which, is $351,000, for this city. Indebtedness Decreases. In November, this year, this indebtedness would be decreased to $289,000 by the retirement of $17,500 Glen Miller park bonds. In August of next year the total bonded debt would shrink 'to $199,000 by the retirement of the $80,000 issue for the purchase of the L., H. and P. plant and the retirement of the $60,000 of bonds issued last year, for a period of six years to provide public improvements. In September, 1918, the total bonded debt would have been reduced to $119,000 by the retirement of $70,000 of the refunding bonds (issued in exchange for the plant construction bonds) and the retirement of another $10,000 of bonds of the six-year public improvement issue. In September, 1919, the total bond Our Business Is READY-TO-WEAR EXCLUSIVELY Therefore we are better equipped than any store in town to attend to your Easter Apparel wants.

ed indebtedness would only be $40,000. At that time the remaining $69,000 refunding bonds would be taken up and another $10,000 of bonds of the public improvement issue be retired. In 1922 the total municipal bonded indebtedness would be only $10,000. because in that year the last of the $60,000 public improvement bonds would be taken up, leaving only the $10,000 fire department bonds outstanding. These bonds will mature in 1923, at which time the city could be completely free from any bonded indebtedness, providing no issues were authorized, between that time and the spring of that year.

SUBMARINE WAR (Continued From Page One,) gested request Is contained in advises from Berlin that this government give all information in its possession in the case of the Channel steamer Sussex will be a direct refusal. The view of the administration, based on evidence that.it has in its possession is that a submarine torpedoed the Sussex, and that German submarines now are sinking without warning unarmed merchantmen. If mis is noi irue, tne united states believes that Germany should prove the fact. The United States will take no steps whatever which may be interpreted to give Germany any facts in its possession, taking the view that Germany must be in position to know all the facts.
