STANDARDS ARRIVE FOR LIGHT SYSTEM FOR MAIN STREET

It was announced at the meeting of the board of public works today that work of constructing the new ornamental lighting system for the central business district can be resumed next week. The standards have arrived, the copper cable will be here tomorrow or Saturday. The glass globes are also here. Completion of the asphalting 'of South NMnth street, Main to South A street.' was reported. The total cost was $3,845.64, of which amount the city will pay $620. Primary assessment roll for the sanitary sewer system west of Southwest Seventh street, between Main and National road, and for a sewage disposal plant, was approved. The total cost was $5,863.17, the city's share being $500. The question of, determining the area of the two intersections of South Seventeenth street with Reeveston road was taken up also, the question as to the ownership of the several park strips located In the center of streets in the Reeveston addition, but no decision was reached on either matter. Schneider Brothers were awarded the contract for cement curbs and gutters on Southwest Third street, National road to Southwest E street. The bid was 65 cents lineal foot, for straight curbs and gutters, 68 cents, circular 12V2 cents, cross walks 12 cents, Intersections.

FUNDS PURPOSE

Continued From Page One. cial club, and the proposed trustees of the fund. They will have the advice and co-operation of expert campaign men from the Town Development Company of New York. Wants Industrial Fund. The campaign is the result of a desire for an industrial fund by which the Commercial club can work along modern lines to secure new factories for Richmond. President Bowman announced today that It was the purpose of the committee to give the widest possible publicity to all phases of tiie Iudustrial Company and to the campaign so the public would have a thorough knowledge of the purpose and administration of the fund before subscriptions were taken. Leaders in the campaign movement state. that this campaign will have no

hip-hip-hurrah features. Citizens will

be asked to subscribe only after they

are convinced that it means a real In

vestment for them. So confident are the leaders In the practicability of

the Industrial Company plan that they look ahead to nothing but big success.

The entire proposition, they assert.

is conservative and has the safe features of the most successful industrial funds. The possibility of loss has been practically eliminated.

Follows Other Cities' Lead In raising a development fund Rich

mond Is following the lead of the most progressive cities of the entire country.

"Even the most conservative cities

see the necessity of having a fund that can be called upon quickly when a legitimate factory prospect is pre

sented," said D. H. McFarland, cam

paign manager for the Town Develop

ment Company, assitlng In the campaign. "Louisville is raising a huge fund. Cleveland, with its reputation

of having the most efficient Chamber

of Commerce In the country, is planning a great Industrial fund.

"It was fifteen years ago that cities

began to create various forms of funds or guarantees of credit to secure factories,"

"It used to be that cities bought

factories by the bonus method, and many cities lost large sums of money rrom Investing in enterprises that never had a chance to succeed. Unscrupulous men made a business of unloading such concerns on communities, and this caused a reaction against the payment of bonuses.

Pendulum Gwlngs Back. "But the pendulum is now swinging

back, and organizations are meeting with success in securing factories, rhey are no longer paying out bonuses except in exceptional cases, and

rhey are closing with such concerns

inly after the most thorough invesJgations. '

"The commercial organization even

v'th large membership cannot finance

he ordinary factory proposition. Great ielay comes about in securing needed unds by a special canvass when a actory proposition is available. Such unds are not paid out for bonuses ut to provide sites, buildings, or pay noving expenses. Often the fund is simply used to put ur a building, vhich is paid for by the concern in layments extending over a large lumber of years. "The Industrial fund is essential in hat the commercial organization can icgotiatc with a factory with the

novledge that It can secure the

noney just as soon as the contract or removal is signed. Subscriptions

ire not called for until such a propo

rtion is at hand. Richmond is not rying an experiment."

LIBRARY OPENS AGAIN

After having been closed for some time while the Interior walls were being decorated, the Morrlsson-Reeves library was opened again this morning. Although the work of decorating is not completed in the reading room, and the public may not be admitted there, arrangements have been made for the use of the reference rooms in the rear of the building. The circulating department will be open as usual.

PAPERS COMMENDED FOR THEIR METHODS

EAST AND WEST MEET AT HOTEL ON THEIR TOUR

Quite a coincidence was the meeting of New York and St. Louis families, old friends, who met in the lobby of the Westcott last night. Mr. and Mrs. V. B. Stutz and family, of St. Louis, enroute to New York, met Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Earnest and family, of New York, enroute to St. Louis. The paths of the two automobile parties crossed at Richmond. Influx of traveling men at the Hotel Arlington during' the past week has taxed the capacity of the hostelry. Hotel clerks consider this the surest barometer of good business. Among the tourists regisering at the Arlington last night were N. F. Twigg and J. R. Ryder, Cumberland, Md. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Atkins and party of Indianapolis, reistered at the Westcott last night. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wright of Bloomington, Ind., registered at the Arlington last night. A. J. Stephens and party, of Barnesville, Ga., are at the Westcott. They

are traveling by machine.

Miss Effie George and company, vau

deville performers, are at the Arlington. Among the arrivals at the Hotel Westcott this morning were E. J. Hartwelt, Providence, R. I.; B. H. Dugdale, Indianapolis; T. J. Matthews, Indianapolls; J. L. Earnest, New York. L. C. Ross and party, New York; L. E. Stafford, Jamestown, N. Y.; J. W. Rock, Detroit; Linton White, Chicago; T. A. Tilson, Indianapolis, and Louise McRay, Chicago, registered at the Arlington this morning.

Social Service Bureau will present the proposition to Richmond newspapers In the near future that the name of no child under 16 years of age ever be used in a story telling about some criminal act "It is unfair to a child to use his name in this way," said John Melpolder in speaking of it. "A child's early life sometimes depends on his environment and he is naturally mischievious. He Is not really responsible for what he docs. Although he should be punished, he should receive no notoriety for his acts." Mr. Melpolder complimented the way In which the papers are already handling such news and spoke especially favorably of the methods in which they handle suicides. "When a suicide is 'played to the sky' it always leads to a number of others," he said. "I v think statistics will prove that the number of suicides has decreased greatly since the papers have been 'playing down' the news concerning them as much as possible."

BUYS JAIL BUILDING

LAPEL, Ind., Sept. 7. Rev. Asbury Fisher, town marshal, has bought from the town board the jail building and will use it for private purposes. The town board contemplates the erection of a town hall, with a jail attached, but just cow Fisher owns the only jail.

Marshall meeting in this city a complete success. Delegations from every county in the district will invade Richmond on September 22, and tentative plans call for a street parade preceding the vice president's address at the Coliseum. Up to the present no other Democratic speakers have 'been assigned to hold meetings in Richmond or other towns of the county, but Chairman Lewis says many of the most prominent party leaders will speak in the county before the election. Representative Finly H. Gray Is expected to return from Washington before the end of the week, and he will at once begin his campaign for reelection. He will make a thorough canvass of every county and will arrange for a number of public meetings. He probably will devote most of his time to Wayne county, which is to be the battle field of the district.

Continued From Page One. the commissioners call us together later in an emergency session to make an appropriation for the repair of the structure if they find after investiga

tion that it is advisable. Then too, I will never vote for a slanting bridge against my judgment that a level one extending up to Second street should be erected. "The reason that we did not vote for the South G street bridge was because we did not want to pass on it before

the Main street problem was decided j

upon. Prices of materials are another objection against the building of the South G street bridge at this time," he said. To show that they were not opposed to the eventual erection of the South G street bridge, both Bockhoff and

Druley proposed and advocated that

the one cent levy be maintained for the South Side Bridge fund. This proposal was passed by the council. During this year's session of the council, however, it has been explained thoroughly that this levy is illegal and that it would be very hard to collect it under the strict interpretation of the law. It was also shown the council that the fund would not necessarily have to be used for a South Side Bridge. Confers With Wilfred Jessup Attorney Wilfred Jessup and Councilman Bockhoff have been in very close touch with each other all the session. At former sessions Jessup has advocated the repair of the present Main street structure. Tuesday afternoon he gave an extended talk before the council on the Evans appeal from the decision of the Board of Public works which is now pending in the Circuit Court. "This discussion had nothing directly to do with the appropriation for the South G street bridge," County Attorney Gus Hoelscher said today. "The only purpose of the speech it seems was to scare the councilmen out of making an appropriation for the bridge at this time," Hoelscher said. Bockhoff is a client of Jessup." In the speech Tuesday Jessup said he was representing the Evans family He advocated that the council require the city to agree to pay the damages to the Evans property caused by khe

opening or soutn o street, as found Tjyj the circuit court before the appror fatten was made. He pointed out that in' case the city was not satisfied with the! decision of the court it could dismiss! the suit and the street would be closed,! thus resulting in no outlet for the Gj

street bridge. Told of County's Attitude. Jessup had previously been informed that the appropriation would be made with the understanding that the commissioners would not grant the contract for the bridge or sell the bonds

until after the Evans appeal had been;

settled. In respect to the contention of Bockhoff that the prices of construc

tion will go down, Engineer Mueller' submitted a divided estimate of thei cost and percentages of the total dif-j

ferent items included in the Main Street bridge, which have been affected by the increase in price of cement and steel bars. The cost of cement will be 13.3 per cent of the entire $180,000, .and that of steel bar will be 6.2 per cent. Labor, which will' cost 45 per cent of the entire estimate, has not increased in price, but may in the future, Mueller declared. Predicts Eight-Hour Law. "The eight-hour law on public works will be passed by the next Indiana legislature, which will mean an increase of 20 per cent in the cost of labor on public work, or $16,000 on the Main street bridge, and about the same on the South G street bridge," he said. . Mr. Mueller points out that the increased cost of steel and cement would amount to a very small amount. South Side Disappointed. Members of the South Side Improvement association accuse Bockhoff of having broken faith with them. WThen C. B. Hunt gave up his position on' the county council, upon the recommendation Lee Nusbaum that the Side association support some man who would represent Its interests, it backed Mr. Bockoff, believing that he would be the best suited. "He has not appreciated our support nor the fact that we donated much money and ground for his National Automatic tool factory in Bellview," said Hans Koll last night. We had bad luck," said J. Henry E. Bode, chairman of the bridge committee. " ' . " When he heard the decision of coun

cil President Blickwedel of the asso

ciation, arose, and as he left the room said, "I don't see how you could have had the heart to have so acted." Will Renew the Fight. "At first we thought we would give up the fight, but now not so," said Hans Koll today. "We will bring the appropriation up again within a few weeks as an emergency. Our grounds will be the relief of the congested traffic on Main street by diverting the interurban and street car lines over the South G street bridge." "Level bridge advocates are wholly responsible for the defeat of the Main street bridge proposition," county commissioners said. "We kept putting off adding the appropriation to our budget until after the first week in August to give them a chance to convince us that our decision about a slanting bridge was wrong. If we had followed our natural inclinations and placed it on the budget when we had first planned to, four votes would have passed it and the votes of Councilmen Druley and Bockhoff would have made no dif-

Absolutely Removes Indigestion. One package proves it 25c at all druggists.

For Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Here in America there is much suffering from catarrh and head noises. American people would do well to consider the method employed by the English to combat this insidous disease. Everyone knows how damp the English climate Is and how dampness affects those suffering from catarrh. In England they treat catarrhal deafness and head noises as a constitu

tional disease and use an internal remedy for it that is really very efficacious. Sufferers who could scarcely hear a watch tick tell how they had their hearing restored by this English treatment to such an extent that the tick of a watch was plainly audible seven and eight inches away from either ear. Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you will have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. The prescription can be easily prepared at home for about 75c and is made as follows: From your druggist obtain 1 oz. Parmint (Double Strength), about 75c worth. Take this home and add to it 1-4 pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir until dissolved. Take a tablespoonful four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to equalize the air pressure on the drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are usually remarkably quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in any form should give this recipe a trial and free themselves from this destructive disease. Adv.
