PAGE SEVEN Council Members Complain About Condition

7ZZ

BOARD OF WORKS TOLD

OF INADEQUATE SEWERS AND POOR SIDEWALKS

For an hour last night Mayor Robblna and other city officials assembled in the council chamber heard members of the common council voice complaints, mostly on the condition of streets and alleys. Not an ordinance was reported and only one passed, under suspension of rule, authorizing the construction of a Pennsylvania railroad switch across Washington avenue for the benefit of the United Refrigerator companies. Councilman Waidele went after the scalp of F. E. Slick, who has been gathering in quite a few municipal contracts. He declared the sidewalks put down on West Seventh street about a year ago by Slick are in a terrible condition and he wanted to know when this botched job was to be remedied.

Waidele Attacks Slick. "Slick has been getting a lot of con-tracts,"-Waidele said, "and because of the work he did on West Seventh street people are a little leary that he will perpetrate other 'bum' jobs. When he does repair those Seventh street walks I advise the city to have an inspector on the job." Clerk Bescher stated that Slick had notified the board that as soon as he ' began work on another West Richmond Job he would repair the defec-jV-. tlve sidewalks. Councilman Walterman declared the fl- condition of the alley between South Second and Third streets, from B to

C streets, is in a deplorable condition, being flooded most of the time and overflowing into gardens. He said the residents, because of the city's delay in providing relief, were now asserting they were being discriminated against in favor of people who live in fine houses in the fashionable districts. Williams Takes a Hand. Recalling the declaration made by the board of works and the mayor last winter that no more macadam streets would be constructed without a bituminous binder. Councilman Williams addressed an inquiry if it was not the

intention of the board to place a binder on the macadam roadway just put down on North Eleventh street, between A and B streets. He was in

formed that there had been no petition for such an improvement and there was no appropriation available for the same. "I do not think macadam streets should be put down without a binder," declared Williams, and the mayor agreed with him. Gutters are Sinking. Last year bouldered gutters were put down on Charles, Hunt, Boyer, William, Ridge and Maple streets and Linden avenue. Last night Councilman Wilkins declared these gutters had sunk so much that they were giving absolutely no service. Wilkins also wanted the weeds cut on West Second street so it would be possible for pedestrians to pass along that thoroughfare. Councilman White urged that holes in North Third street be filled so that there would be less danger of wrecking vehicles using that street, and Councilman Steinbrink suggested that if the first block of South Tenth street was not to be paved that the holes should be filled with "cinders or something else." Water Stands In Gutters. Walterman complained that water two and three inches deep stood in the gutters of South H street, between Sixth and Seventh street, all the time. Steinbrink declared that in the event South J street was not repaired the city would soon be confronted with a damage suit from ' the wrecking of come vehicle. Carter said that North Eighth street, between H. and I streets, was in a terrible condition. Steinbrink urged, that some action be taken at once for the protection of the city's asphalt streets. He declared regulation of traffic over such streets was imperative.

W. E. Moore, Richmond weather forecaster, announced today that another period of rainy weather was in store for Richmond and vicinity. "I cannot state how long this unsettled weather will continue," he said. "A change may come within thirty-six hours: we may have rains for several days."

OXFORD COMMON COUNCIL PEEVED AT BOARD'S WORK

OXFORD, O., June 20. Charging neglect in the management of the village sewage disposal plant, and allegin that the filter beds are foul and filled with weeds, council has taken the management of the plant out of the hands of the Board of Public Affairs. The Board does not deny that the plant has been neglected, but asserts that such action was unavoidable because the sewer system does not produce funds sufficient to properly maintain the disposal plant and that council has repeatedly refused to appropriate funds for that purpose.

Youthful, Beautiful Skin Easy to Have

Mi

You may be as healthy as a bird in the air and still have a poor complexion. Changing seasons and temperaturetf, winds, dust and dirt, are apt to injure any skin, even though the general health be good. When these external influences spoil the complexion, the natural thing is to remove the spoil by external means. Ordinary mercolIzed wax will do this. It will actually rabsorb the weather-soiled film-skin, a little each day. In a week or two you'll have a brand new complexion, a new skin. The exquisitely beautiful and youthful complexion thus acquired comes so easily, without harm or discomfort, there's no reason why any

woman should not adopt this simple treatment. Get an ounce of mercolized wax at any drug store, apply nightly

like cold cream, washing it off mornings. This will not fall in any case. , To quickly remove wrinkles, signs of care and age, bathe the face occasionally in a solution of powdered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolve In pt. witch hazel. The results will surprise you. Adv.

Rather extraordinary Is the combination of navy gabardine and nale

j blue organdy used in the gown illusI trated. This Jenny model neverthej less is quite popular. The navy serge

rorms the greater part of the frock except for the panel front of the skirt and vestee in the bodice, which are of tucked organdy. An inch-wide pleating of the organdy edges the entire frock, Otherwise the full sleeves and simple blouse are quite conventional. A broad brimmed hat and high buttoned boots complete this outfit.
