THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN -TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1918. AGE TEN

COUNCIL MAKES i LIGHT COMPANY APPROPRIATION $20,000 Voted for Improvements in Municipal Plant No Dissenting Votes. Appropriation of $20,000 for the ropairs of the dam and the installation of new boilers for the Municipal Electric Light riant was made at the meeting of the city council Monday ni?ht. The appropriation was not opposed by any member. An Increase in the rates for electricity will be asked for, to pay for the Improvement, Mayor Zimmerman said. Many manufacturers and citizens of Richmond were present. Before the vote was taken, Mayor Zimmerman called upon each one to state his views on the appropriation. John M. Lontz, of the F. & N. Lawn Mower company was Srst called upon. Mr. Lontz stated that "As a manu- , facturer I am Interested in this approprlatlon. Until recently I knew i nothing about the situation, but after I Investigation it seems to me that the J need is Imperative. Many manufacI turers were doing war work. It is j Just as serious not to purchase new boilers as it would be for the government not to purchase hand grenades. J Richmond would not be doing her part ' if she were not able to keep up her , part In the war. There is plenty of

money In Richmond to get anything ' that is necessary. In view of the national situation this preparation ('should be made. If there is a shut down labor will be out of employment i It is not wise to take chances in so grave an hour." Charles W. Jordan said: "The busi- ; ness of he utility Is to furnish power. The plant Is now running at full capacity and In the winter If repairs were necessary It would mean a shut down. There must be more power, especially since the gas question is so 'unsettled'. A break down would mean 'dire disaster to Richmond manufac- ! turers. Do not connect the end of the war with the situation. Supply Richmond with electricity when you have no competitors." S. E. Swayne of the Swayne Robinson manufacturer said, "We are manufacturing our own electricity. The . situation, makes no difference person- ' ally, but I hare always been vitally in- .' terested In the betterment of Industry in Richmond. I feel that Richmond would make a very great mistake to postpone the purchase , of the boilers w hen they are so high and times are no abnormal. I think It would be unwise to. wait until the end of the war. Duty to Community. "The Pennsylvania railroad is building a large addition to Richmond, and ltvwlll require a large amount of electricity. The war industries board will probably refuse the railroad the right to build an electrical plant. There Is a possibility under the present situation of disaster coming to Richmond." Thomas B. Jenkins, of the Vulcan Springs said, "I do not believe that the price of steel will go down after peace Is declared. Owing to the conservation and scarcity of coal and the difficulty of transportation and the fact that the plant Is now working Its boiler capacity to the maximum that tho appropriation should be made." Howard Dill, president of the Commercial Club, stated that, "A public utility has a duty to the community which It serves. The duty is Just the same as If It were a private plant. Richmond Is trying to get new manufacturers and It will prevent them Trcm coming here If they are not able business that the appropriation be made." N. H. Johnson, ex-superintendent of the city plant: "I believe that the most important thing has not yet been touched upon. Manufacturers who say they do not have to depend upon the city plant for their current are really the most dependable ones. The United , States fuel tdmlnistration has issued 1 an order that where It can be shown ; that the central station produces electric energy on a small consumption of coal per kllowat hour, that these ; Isolated plants are compelled to dis- ; continue and buy their electricity from , the central station. Charles McGuire. E. II. Cureton, Ben , Hill and Walter Neal also spoke urg- ' lng tho appropriation. Councilman Walterman stated that ho felt that there was not a member . of the council who did not favor the appropriation, but the question was whether it would be cheaper to install the boilers or accept the Hatfield bid which included the installation. Councilman Ford stated that "I am , very glad that tho impropriation was ; held up last Monday night. Informaj tion has been brought to us that could 1 not have been brought in any other ; way than by the manufacturers themselves. iiS'liiOTEa Other members of council and aii thH citizens stated that they were heartily in favor of the appropriation. To keep the boys happy, If ill while away from home, the American Red Cross has sixteen convalescent houses In operation at base and general army hospitals in this country.

A Shampoo Worth Trying It is not necessary to shampoo your hair so frequently if it is entirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our readers Is one that brings out all the natural beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of Canthrox, which can be obtained from any druggist's, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just to the top of the head. This, when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all impurities. It is very soothing and cooling in its action, as well as beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries quickly and evenly, developing a bright luster and a soft fluffiness that makes it seem very heavy.

Here it is at last a warm air heating plant which every one can afford. A heating plant which works as thoroughly and satisfactorily as the ordinary small warm air furnace, yet costs little more than any ordinary heating stove to buy, no more to install, and much less to operate.
