Work was started on the bridge three years ago The bridge was to be made of concrete. Abutments had been built when the work was stopped owing to plans for dredging Nettle creek. An iron bridge will be built on the concrete abutments, according to the commissioners' plans.

Ml Jones of the firm. Mr. Jones said he wanted his position made clear to. the public in the following statement: "We are in the agricultural and farm implement business and not in the auto truck business. We have not been approached by a driver to give over part of our store room for a hack station. In fact, we cannot spare room for that purpose. We are not Interested in tue truck business, but are selling farm implements and we intend to stick to that line. We are in nowise concerned about the truck business. We hope that forty truck lines will soon be operating in and out of Richmond. We hope that this statement will be taken as an unqualified denial of the reports that we are trying to open a truck station in our building."

DELAY OF SUPPLIES CHECKS VILLA HUNT

EL PASO, Tex April 8. American troops who nave again taken the trail of Villa unquestionably find their work more difficult owing to the delay occasioned when their supplies gave out a delay that would have been obviated had it been possible to use the Mexican railways early in the campaign. The renewed pursuit, however, has carried the American troopers as far as Pinar De Concho, forty miles north of Parral and about eighty miles from the point where villa was last reported. Increasing difficulties in keep ing intact the line of communication are said to hamper the movements of the expeditionary forces, while Villa apparently seeks to join forces with General Canuto Reyes in the Torreon district. From analysis of the American and Mexican reports, it appears that Villa's retreat was carefully covered by rear guard operations. Small bands were left behind to halt temporarily - the swift pursuit that threatened to trap the bandit chieftain. PENNSY TO OBSERVE SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY Employes of the Pennsylvania rail road here received cards from President Samuel. Rea this morning rela tive to the celebration of the seventleth anniversary of the system on April 13.

"Second, to those Directors, officers and employes who have gone before, and to the 250,000 of us who are workins to make this railroad system bet ter every day. Third, to a helpful and reasonable public. "In these 70 years we have learned much. Above afl we know tbaj the future prosperity of our company depends on the continued confidence, co-operation and good will of the people It serves-." BAVIS WANTS FUNDS FOR MOTOR TRUCKS President Bavis of the board of public works today reiterated his opinion that a $10,000 bond issue at the present time for the motorization of the fire department would be good business policy. The question is now pending in council. "With the entire fire department motorized Richmond will be advanced to second class fire insurance rating," Bavis said. Tnis wtll mean a re duction in fire" insurance rates. Also the city will save $500 annually, now paid out for feed for the horses of the fire department." The board president is also Insisting that at least $100,000 insurance be taken out on the municipal electric plant. At the present time no insur ance is being carried on this plant. MAYOR ORDERS Continued From Page Onel do it easy enough. I have many a time," the court added. "But don't know how to wash," replied the Italian. "Then learn how," answered the mayor. "Get your wife to show you." Tartaglia declared that his wife had been sick for three years and that he could not afford to hire anyone to do the household work, so these duties had been wished upon twelve year old Margaret. Ramsey Takes Stand. Principal D. D. Ramsey of Whitewater school and several of his teachers, also Attendance Officer Melpolder appeared against Tartaglia and Cottman. One of the teachers informed the mayor that Margaret Tartaglia had to do the family washing twice a week, get up early every morning to dress her small brothers and sisters for school and look after the household affairs. "When Margaret would arrive in school she would be tired out and unable to properly perform her school duties," the teacher said Cottman said that he did not know his son was not attending school. He then added that frequently the boy had to quit school to assist in making a living for the family. After the court adjourned Mrs. Cottman arrived on the scene and gave the mayor a tongue-lashing. - She said the boy had only been absent from school three days the past month, and those three days because of the death of an aunt.
