THATCHER CHOSEN nmiMPii MCMDCD

yUUUIlUIL MLMULI1 FROMJTH WARD Council Orders Ordinance for $20,000 for City Light Plant Improvements. Ed Thatcher was elected the new council member from the Fourth ward to take the place of Ben Bulla at a special meeting of Council Monday evening. The two other candidates wero Harry Schuerman and Robert Graham. Thatcher was elected on the third ballot. A new request for more funds was made by Superintendent Dillon of the Light Plant, to cover the proposed improvements of boilers and stokers, which will amount to $63,000. and are needed to be installed at once, according to Dillon. It was moved that an ordinance providing for $20,000 be drawn up for the next council meeting. Objections were made by councilman Ford on the grounds that a $55,000 appropriation already had been allowed and that the city needed to get revenue out of the plant instead of putting more Into It. He maintained that the cost of boilers and stokers was double the cost in peace times, and that since it would be six months before they could be delivered, the war might be over then and we would pay the highest war price in peace times. However, other council members pointed out that the war may last for some time, and that even should it e over the prices will probably retina in for some time. The superintendent stated that Richmond tax payers had been helped by having the rates kept the same, whfle other cities had raised theirs, and members of the board of works who havo visited the Indianapolis plant, said that cur plant does not conmare

with theirs, because of the heavy load,

urn lAjuinitui ia carrying, ana tne inefficient way In which our coal must be handled several times before reaching the Ftokers.

The question will be thoroughly discussed at the next regular council, meeting, when the ordinance is introduced.

Three More Nurses Enter Red Cross Service

Three nurses, Miss Lena Flalg. Mis3 Hasseltlne Wilson and Miss Fannie Williams left here Tuesday morning for Camp Merritt, N. J., where they will enter the base hospital They have signed for overseas service and probably will be sent across soon. Miss Flaie and -Miss Wilson are

graduates of-Reld Memorial hospital,!

while Miss Williams graduated at Indianapolis but has nursed in Richmond for several years. The service flag of the Reld Memorial hospital now has eight stars in it.

NIGHT AIRPLANE ' TRIP WAS SUCCESS

A dull droning and a blur of faint grey against the evening sky was all that most Richmond people could distinguish Monday evening of first airplane flight made in the United States between two cities. The trip was a great success, reported Brig. Gen. Charles E. Lee and Capt. J. F. Morris of the British Royal Flying corps, when they landed in Indianapolis at 9:30 o'clock. They said the red and green signal lights which were stationed as signal guides to mark the way were plainly seen. A few Richmond citizens report that two distinct flashes could be een from from the airplane as it passed over the city. The airplane left Dayton at 7:55 o'clock, instead of 8:30 o'clock as was reported, and it passed over this city at 8:35 o'clock. The course . of the flight included Eaton, O., Richmond, Cambridge City, Lewlsville, Knightstown and Cumberland.

NO PROVISIONS FOR CHRISTMAS BOXES

No arrangements have been made to provide for the shipment of Christmas packages to the soldiers overseas, Postmaster Beck announced Tuesday. War mothers who have been planning to send boxes to the boys in France have been informed that so far no exception has been made to the general rule in their favor. The only articles that may be sant to the men overseas are those requested by the soldier and approved by a higher officer. "The rule is not an arbitrary one," the postmaster said, "but has been made necessary through the congestion of tonnage. Women must remember that by sending indiscriminate gifts, articles which are really needed by the men overseas are delayed." Postmaster Beck stated Tuesday that shortage in help has made necessary the elimination of several practices which have been permitted at the postoffice. It will no longer be posisble for a person to have a letter forwarded to him as, special delivery mail. Dispatching clerks will not be permitted to look up mail for persons between deliveries, the postmaster has ruled, as this causes unnecessary work for .the force.

CITY COURT

Draftees May Still Join The Merchant Marine

The recent order prohibiting voluntary enlistment in the navy, marine corps, or army, pending the 19145 draft legislation does not apply to the Emergency Feet Corporation Chairman Edward N. Hurley, of the Shipping Board, states. The board' needs 1,500 firemen at once, he says, and he urged those who wish to enroll to do so at once at the 6,000 drugstores and recruiting stations throughout the country.

MIELAGE BOOKS ON SALE NEXT WEEK

U. B. CONFERENCE AT GREENSFORK

GREEXSFORK, Ind., Aug. 13. The White River Conference of the United Brethren church will convene at Sugar Grove Wednesday with Bishop Wood of Alma, Mich, presiding. There will be a lecture each night during the remainder of the week. The sessions will begin Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. All are welcome to each session.

ASSIGNMENTS OF FOUR-MINUTE MEN

fBy Associated Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. Passenger mileage books, interchangeable and good on any railroad will be placed on sale a week from today. They will be accepted in payment of passenger fares on trains, in exchange for tickets and for extra baggage charges. Two books are being prepared one with 1,000 coupons each coupon worth

three cents or one mile of travel, to

be sold for $30, with the addition of $2.40 war tax collected when the book

is bought, and another with 500 coupons, selling for $15 with $1.20 addi

tional war tax. Each book Is to be transferable and may be used for any number of passengers at the same time. Travelers

may present these books to conduc

tors in trains if they wish, but are ad vised to have the mileage script ex

changed for tickets between points

where there are long an dsrhot routes in order to gain advantage of the shorter distance and lowest charge. Railroad officials desired not to moke the mileage script acceptable for Pullman charges because the war tax on berths or parlor car seats is ten per cent, or two per cent higher than on passenger fares. This would have complicated the collection of war taxes.

Raymond Daugherty, who was arrested Monday charged with failure to support wife and child, was brought

up in city court Tuesday, but prior to !

arraignment the defendent agreed to pay $8.00 a week for their support, and the case was left pending.

OHIO STORM TIES UP INTERURBANS

A heavy storm which broke near Hamilton at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon, blowing over telephone poles and strewing wires over the car tracks, tied up all traffic on the Ohio Western Electric Traction roads for the rest of the day. Although the storm was not severe between Richmond and Dayton, all service was suspended because of the insufficient power to operate transportation, since the power plants are located near Hamilton. One, car was sent over to West Alexandria from this city Monday evening at seven o'clock, but it could get no farther. The first car into Richmond Tuesday morning from the east arrived at 10 o'clock.

Roy' Ruby was arrested here Monday afternoon and held upon request for the sheriff at Greenfield, Ind.
