Such was the sum and substance of remarks intended for business men who attended council last night by Councilman Watson O'Neal. Mr. O'Neal Indicated that it was embarrassing, to say the least, for a councilman to find that after he had done what he believed the people wanted ,to find out that his constituency did not want that at all, but just the opposite. MERCHANT ATTENDS HIS FIRST COUNCIL Seeing the wheels of the city administration go round is a novel experience for some of Richmond's best known business men, according to their own confession. According to a Main street merchant who attended the special council session last night in interest of a modification of the traffic ordinance, he had never before seen the councilmen "in action." . He chose an opportune time for his visit for his was the pleasure of seeing the councilmen appropriate funds for the coming year's expenses and set the city tax rate at $1.10. CLASSIFY RAG TIME SAME AS SALOONS "Rag time, the cheap dance hall, and the saloon are intimately associated, and are equally deserving of condemnation," said Mr. Zedeler, leader and cellist of the Zedeler Sextet, at the Chautauqua last night. "I am glad that the desire for good music is a growing one in our country. Ragtime will be abolished soon, with the saloon and other evils." The Zedeler Sextet has In Its membership an instrumental quintet and a vocalist. Their programs, made up from the best music of both the masters and recent composers, are similar to those offered by the Schumann Quintette, which appeared earlier during the Chautauqua.

RAISES PRICE FOR NEW ROAD AT CAMBRIDGE

Because Cambridge City has not the necessary $10,000 in the town treasury to pay for the added expense of extra cement work along the main street of the town to be done in con nection with the improvement on the National road through Jackson town ship, c. M. Kirkpatrick can not be held to hi3 contract for extra work which he signed when be took the contract for the roads. The contracts contained the clause that the contractor must perform extra work for individuals or corporations for $1.30 per square foot. Advertises for Bids. In order to raise the money necessary for the added work on the street through Main street in Cambridge City that corporation was forced to advertize for bids. The money could not be legally raised in any other way. When bids were asked for Kirkpatrick was released. Kirkpatrick was the onl bidder, and instead of submitting his bid for $1.30 as had been expected his bidd called for $1.50 per square foot. The town rejected the bid. Howard Horton, deputy surveyor, informed the commissioners this morning that Kirkpatrick has in no way broken his contract. The only way that the Cambridge City people can force him to lay the extra work at $1.30 a foot is for the individual residents to pay for the work in front of their homes. Main Street Extra Wide. The trouble arises from the fact that Main street in Cambridge City is wider than the cement work which will be done on the county roads. The citizens want the street paved from curb to curb. The only way this can be done is for the town to pay for the extra work. The same trouble that is being ex perienced in Cambridge City is antipated in Centerville when the proposition for extra work comes up there. The town board of Cambridge City Is planning to advertise for other bids! It is thought that other parties will contract to do the work for $1.35 a square foot.

THIRD PARTY GETS ONLY FEW OF INSPECTORS

"My hands are tied, I will have to be satisfied with whatever tho commissioners decide to do about appointing registration' Inspectors' 6ald Richard Wigmore today when asked what the Progressive party would do in case the commissioners failed today to appoint inspectors from the list of names submitted by that party. Until yesterday, the Progressives ; thought that they had the clear and lawful, right . to all inspectors. This,' however, was not provided by law. Under the law,, the Progressive party could be left without representation on any of the registration boards. The staute does not provide for the party which received the highest number of votes but It does provide for the parties receiving the second and third Vi 1 crVl net niitnW rf rrtra Progressives Lose Posts. Tn n rnnfororiPD h 1 a m sm 4 m Stm Wigmore was informed by Auditor' Bowman that it was the general opin-! ion that the inspectors would be ap- j pointed in equal numbers from each of the three leading parties. Under one interpretation of the law this would eliminate the Progressives from representation of two-thirds of the registration boards for the law plainly provides that the clerks must be appointed by the Inspector from men recommended by the chairmen of the parties receiving the second and third highest votes. It may be possible for some different arrangement to be made so that all parties can be represented on all boards, however. The chairmen of the other parties could recommend Progressives for clerks in instances where they have the inspector. Choice Made Late Today. The commissioners did not get to the appointment of Inspectors until late this afternoon. This morning they made known their Intentions of not appointing all inspectors as submitted by Wigmore. An equal division between all three parties seemed to be in best favor. This morning Walter Lewis, county Democratic chairman, had a conference with William Seaney, the Democratic member of the board. The other two members, Doddridge and Cheesman are Republicans. SERUM STATION WILL OPEN HERE The United States government, working in co-operation with the state authorities, will establish a hog cholera serum demonstration station in Richmond.
