ROBBINS URGES SUPPORT OF NEW ADMINISTRATION Mayor Tells Council in Swan Song, Tis Duty to Help New Officers. Major Robbins, In brief talk before the outgoing members of city council Monday night, urged the councilmen and citizens of Richmond generally to support the new administration under the leadership of Dr. W. W. Zimmerman, which takes office January 7. The mayor thanked the councilmen for the way they have supported his administration. "You have always worked together here and we have never had any trouble." the mayor said. "You have supported the administration and the administration has tried hard to work with you. Duty to Support It. "I hope the same conditions will exist in the next council. It is the duty of every councilman and of every citizen to give the incoming administration support. It has been elected by a majority of the people and it is the duty of everyone to support It." It was the farewell meeting of the present body. Three of the present members, Oscar E. Williams, John White and Joseph Walterman, will remain however, having been re-elected. Watson P. O'Nell 6poke of some of the things the present body has done during the four years it has served. He also urged that there be some effort, or special effort on the part of Richmond, to be allowed more power by the legislature. "The present' money derived from the operation of the city light plant 6hould be used to reduce taxes and make Improvements but under the present law we are unable to use the money for this," he said. Leaves With Sadness. "It is with some degree of sadness that I go out of office," he continued. "My constituency has been fair to me and I have tried to be fair to my conetltuency. I have made some mistakes that if I bad it to do over again I would rectify. I think a councilman should consult his constituency to a certain extent and yet I would not vote for a man who did not rely on his own resources when voting on an Important question." Lawrence Handley, who was elected to take the place of Prof. Elbert Russell, the Earlham professor, when the latter resigned his seat in council, decried the attitude of the public toward the city council. "The people 6hould join hands and advise the members of the council instead of ridiculing them," he said.
