HAROLD DENIES POLITICS ENTER BRIDGE DISPUTE

Denial that politics la being played

In the fight for a level bridge la made

by Dr. I. S. Harold, president of the

Wayne County Old Roads association. Dr. Harold has made the following statement regarding the activity of the citizens' committee and the controversy over the type of bridge to be erected across the Whitewater river at Main street: "On behalf of the Citizens committee I would like to call attention to a paragraph in the original call for a citizen meeting to be held at the Westcott hotel Dec. 28th, 1915. "That in order to be of the greatest possible assistance to the board of county commls eioners and to the county council and to furnish a medium through which the taxpayers may be able to express their wishes and preferences in reference to the construction of a permanent bridge to span the river at Main street, there should be appointed a Citizen's committee. This action Is in no sense intended to reflect on the Integrity and ability of the commissioners or council, but to be of use to .them. "The committee has endeavored In all of Us efforts and actions to carry out in a friendly way the purposes as previously stated, there Is no politics being played upon the part of any of its members, there Is no effort being "t forth to influence any voter for o against any Individual whether he is In favor of a slanting or level bridge, but this committee has had very seri

ous .convictions which are shared by i

a great majority of our citizens that we should have the advice and assistance of a consulting engineer of wide experience to advise us and make estimates no matter what kind of a bridge is to be built. "The expenditure of so large an amount of money for the two bridges should be delayed until we are sure that no mistake Is being made. The criticism of members of the county

council in not favoring the appropria

tion without further investigation is

wrong. "The statement that the proposition

to repair the old bridge Is a scheme of

the citizens committee for the pur

pose of delaying the building of the bridge until men are elected who

favor the level bridge is not true, and so far as the citizens committee Is concerned It has always desired more publicity in reference to the whole situation that the men who pay the bills should be correctly Informed. "We wish to state again to the county commissioners and county council there is no scheme or politics being r-layed by our committee and that there Is nothing but the most friendly sort of feeling toward them. It is true we have been persistent In our efforts because we believed the import ance of the undertaking warranted It,

but it has all been open and abova

board and In a friendly spirit."

WHY HOLD ELEGTION? IT'S ALL SETTLED

Are you a candidate for county of flee? If you are and do not wear a mus

tache or wear glasses, there is absolutely no chance for you judging from

past experiences.

At present, every county official who holds an office in the court house either has a decorated Hp or wears glasses. Several qualify in both ways.

All three of the county commission'

ers wear glasses and they all have

mustaches.

LORD MAYOR-ELECT OF LONDON IS CATHOLIC

Sl&.HEtTKY yiVlrlArt DUNK When Sir Henry William Dunn, re

cently named Lord Mayor of London, assumes the duties of his new office

in November, he will be the third Roman Catholic elected to that office

within recent years.

Sir Henry's two predecessors of that

faith were Sir Stuart Knill, who served as Lord Mayor of London In 1893, and

Sir John Knill, who was Lord Mayor In 1909.

Sir Henry Is one of the most dodu-

lar men In the British capital, having

for a number of years been associated

with various charitable institutions and associations to which he gave both

considerable of his time and his money. At the present time Sir Henry

Is treasurer of the Alton Cripple Home

and was closely identified with Sir Wil

liam Trelear In his memorable work in relieving thousands of the city's poor cripples.

Anticipating that many questions would be asked by persons interested in the $100,000 fund campaign of the Industrial Development company, the

directors have adopted a system of question and answer publicity by which they hope to - acquaint people more fully with the details of the project. The first of the series of questions which will run for several days is given below: What is the object of this company? To provide a practical plan for building up the manufacturing interests of Richmond a plan that will enable Industrial company and the Commercial club to campaign for new factories along the most modern lines. Ia this plan in any sense an experiment? The Industrial Fund plan has met the test of time, and has been a great and successful factor in bringing about factory expansion in many cities. Among such cities are Scranton, Williamsport, Wllkes-Barre and Easton, Pennsylvania; Sioux City and Davenport, Iowa; La Crosse and Racine,

Wisconsin; Haverhill, Mass.; Toledo,)

Onio; Topeka, Kansas; Patterson, N. J.; Little Rock, Ark.; Oklahoma City, Okla. The cities of Columbus, O., and Louisville, Ky., have recently formed such companies, and Cincinnati, Cleveland and Denver are now taking preliminary steps to organize industrial companies. What does it propose to do first? The first necessary step will be to raise a guarantee fund of $100,000. With it the Industrial Company can

negotiate with manufacturers seeking a location with the assurance that it can fulfill Richmond's part of the contract speedily and without the necessity of a special canvass for funds. Manufacturers with legitimate propositions cannot afford to waste time on commercial organizations without definite backing and naturally open negotiations with organizations with industrial funds. How will the money be raised? The $100,000 fund will be raised by a community-wide campaign in which every individual and firm in Richmond will be asked to subscribe in proportion to his investment in the community and to the return he can reasonably expect from such an investment used entirely for the building of a greater industrial city. How much per year will subscribers

be required to pay? The articles of incorporation provide that not more than 25 per cent of any subscription can be called for in any one year. For instance, a person subscribing $100 to the fund will not be called upon to pay more than $25 during any one year, and will not be called upon to pay anything unless a contract for a factory proposition has

been closed, and the money is needed to perform the Industrial Company's part of the agreement.

DON'T TAKE CANDY AS BRIBE DECLARES BOY POLICE CHIEF

Compulsory attendance at church and Sunday school was advocated as suitable punishment for boys who vio

late ordinances of Boytown, by Junior

Chief of Police Pickett when he met with his force for the first time last night Several patrolmen were absent. It was made plain that unless the. young officers attend all meetings they will be discharged. Those who were absent last night will be given another chance. "Don't let your friends buy you off with candy or ice cream sodas when you go to make arrests," advised fhe chief. "Your friends will try to beg off. Treat all alike. Don't get cold feet either. They will threaten to beat your face into a pulp some time when you are off duty. Do your duty despite danger. Must Uphold Dignity. "The badges which will be given us will stand for service to the community. Those who wear them will strive to make better future lives for all boys and girls in the city." One colored boy will probably be included on the police force. His beat will be to look after all the negro boys and girls. . John Melpolder explained some of the things which the boy police could do. "One thing that the boy patrolmen should not get In the habit of doing is running to the senior policemen every time they see some minor offense. Cooperation of the boyB with the city officers is essential, however, when any crime of importance Is committed," Melpolder said. Boytown patrolmen will probably get a chance to do traffic duty for the first time during Fall Festival week when large crowds will have to be handled on Richmond streets.

CITY'S APPEAL

The baseball writers of Boston have protested against the playing of Lew McCarty, the catcher recently acquired by the Giants from the Brooklyn Dodgers, against his former team mates. McCarty will share in the world's series if the. Brooklyn's win the pennant in the National league. Hence, the Boston scribes assert, he will not do his best against the Brooklyn team. However, McCarty played a hard and fast game against the Dodgers the other day and pulled eff some remarkable plays.

Continued From Page One. - quickly each month than before, the order of the commission did not relieve the class of smallest consumers. For the order fixed the rate for the first 1,000 cubic feet of gas consumed in any one month at 80 cents gross,.70 cents net, thus raising the gross price to the smalt consumer In Richmond exactly 100 per cent The company's original petition In the case had asked for an increase from 40 cents to 80 cents gross for this class of consumers. The city of Richmond, meanwhile, in a pleading which the commission's order frankly says It disregarded, showed that the company's highest charge for gas should not be above 50 cents a thousand cubic feet Lack of economy in management, addition to items to operating expense which are questionable and financial Juggling were referred to In the protest of the city of Richmond against the rate increased asked by the company, but this protest was disregarded by the commission, according to Its order. Not Heeded by Commission. The commission failed to heed the voice of the representatives of the city of Richmond in two respects: 1. It allowed an increase in rates apparently far above that which the city had contended would be a fair solution of the question. 2. It did not uphold, in determining the valuation of the property for rate-making purposes, the contention cf the city that the property of the company, now inactive, erected for the distribution of artifical gas, should not be capitalized against the present users of artificial gas. Contentions of the city that duplication of artificial and natural gas mains exists also apparently were disregarded by the commission. History of Case. The long history of the gas case at Richmond presents interesting features among them being the many trips recently of Nimrod Johnson, general manager of the plant, to Indianapolis, where he apparently sought to confer with members of the public service commission.

Johnson, during the last few weeks, when the Richmond gas order has been in prospect, has made several trips to confer with commissioners. Sometimes he has been successful in

seeing them and at other times he has failed. His purposes in these trips has not been disclosed. With him, on at least one occasion of the sort was Wilfred Jessup, attorney for the company. Both men, at that time, seemed anxious to avoid reporters and said, when questioned, that they were not coming to talk to commissioners.

They later asked Chairman Duncan when they might see him. . On another occasion, Johnson, appearing In the tatehouse yard just at noon, .when the commission's offices are supposed to be closed, spent much time on the' walks about the statehouse, seeking to enter the building, apparently, so as to avoid reporters. When finally he enter the building he went straight to Chairman Duncan's offices. The chairman was not there. A later trip was made by Johnson under much the same circumstances. No representatives of Richmond, as far as is know, made any such trips to the commission's offices.
