At a joint meeting of the county commissioners and the county council to be held next Monday, the question of voting an appropriation for the South Side bridge will be decided. This is one of the most important problems upon which the county commissioners, as well as the county council, has passed for many months because a vital question of public policy and of public good is involved For that reason not only the members of these two bodies, but also every taxpayer 6i Wayne county should give the question deep study between' now- and Monday, in order that the county authorities may be informed of the sentiments of the people and act for the best interests of the, whole community. Every; public, spirited citizen will admit' that it is a serious rtatterjo vote the expenditure of about.$300,000of ,ihe publi? funds for an improvement, which is not absolutely needed now, and whose necessity has not been proved with finality by the South Side Improvement association or by other citizens who are interested in the project. 'More cogent reasons for the erection of the bridge must be advanced before thoughtful citizens will feel free to give their consent to the expenditure ' . The. location of the bridge at South G street will not be of great benefit to the south or the southwestern parts of the county because South E is the logical place for A new span across the Whitewater river. ; When the South Side Improvement' association under pressure compromised on JSouth' G street, they defeated the very purpose of the project of another span across the riven There are more reasons for the building of a new( bridge, at South E .than there are at South G streets Arguments that the bridge will give work to manyLunempIoyed men cannot be taken very seriously If the employment of men is the controlling factor of the promoters of the project,' then it would be much better to employ hundreds of men in hard-surfacing and improving Wayne county roads, for these are improvements which will benefit not only a certain small section of the city, but will be of lasting benefit to the whole county. . . ;. v The farmer is absolutely dependent on good roads for marketing his products. Although the

Wayne county roads as a whole are in better shape than many in other counties, nevertheless the improvement of these highways is a problem of great public moment, Here is a piece of public work which, as has been indicated before, will be of benefit to all parts of the community. Again, if the' problem of the unemployed is the deciding factor, attention need only be called to the necessity of building an adequate sewer system in Richmond. This is one of the biggest municipal problems facing the city at the present time. It has almost reached a critical stage and the city will be forced within the next few years to thoroughly rebuild the entire system to take care of this problem. Either the construction of better roads in the country districts, or the building of larger sewers in Richmond is of far greater importance just now than is the construction of the south side bridge. Everyone admits that the South Side Improvement association has done good work in promoting the best interest of the city of Richmond, but this project in forcing the construction of the South G street bridge now is untimely and unwise. . y The Doran bridge is carrying, a 30 per cent overload now, and even after the new Main street span is completed the Poran bridge will be too light for the traffic that of necessity uses this structure. This fact, which" cannot be denied, suggests with emphasis that the Doran bridge will have to be replaced in the very near future. The tax rate in Wayne county and in Richmond is high enough without forcing every owner of a little piece of property to pay an additional ten cents on the $100, in order to build a bridge that is not needed and which will not be of benefit to the greater part of the county. If one stops to consider that the amount of traffic which would cross this new bridge is exceedingly small in comparison with the amount of traffic that daily crosses the Doran bridge and will cross the new Main street bridge, he will be strengthened in his opposition to the proposed expenditure. The South G street bridge would tap only a very small part of the county, and the greater part of this traffic would not be diverted off the Abington pike, but would proceed directly to the Main street bridge. Farmers residing near Abr ingtoh enter the city over the Liberty pike, and those residing near Centerville and Milton come to Richmond over the National road. There are no lateral roads which would induce a farmer living in the southwestern part of the county to use the South G street bridge as an entrance into Richmond. We cannot escape the fact that the construction of this bridge will increase the tax burden and provide a span that is not absolutely necessary now. In this period of readjustment, public funds ought to be expended for projects that will

benefit the whole county, or the whole city, rather

than a small section.

Excitement and wonder marked the advent of the Pennsylvania railroad Jnto Richmond in 1853. Daily parties and excursions were formed to go out to the east and watch the costantly approaching steel rails, and it was a great day for Richmond when they actually entered the corporation limits. A dollar a day was considered good wages in those days. The, railroads didn't have much trouble obtaining labor, but it did have trouble quelling fights among the workmen. One or two passenger trains each day in each direction, a far cry from these days when the Richmond traveler can have his choice of a dozen fast, luxurious ways of going east or west on the Pennsylvania.

A girl from the ceuntry got into a city street car. The car had not gone far when the conductor said affably: "Your fare, miss." The conductor repeated : "Your fare, miss," and the girl blushed more deeply. By this time the conductor began to look folish. " After a pause he again repeated : . "Miss, your fare.''

Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons Out of the Digestive Tract

Millions are now suffering from the efter effects of the deadly "flu," a ever or a cold. Their appetites are poor; they are weak, and they are waiting for their strength to come back. If these people could only realize that the return to health and strength wonld be greatly helped by giving attention to the stomach that is, removing the acidity and toxic poisons from the entire digestive tract, making it act naturally, so that the body will receive the full strength of the food eaten a great deal of suffering would be saved to humanity. Everyone knows that the disease itcelf, and the strong medicineo that have been taken, npset the stomach, leave it hot and feverish, the mouth dry, the tongue coated, a nasty taste, and no desire to eat. This is a poor foundation to bnild new strength on. Now, tens of thousands ofpeople all over this country are using EATONIO for the purpose of cleaning these poisonous after-effects right out of the system and they are obtaining wonderful results--so wonderful that the amazingly quick benefits are hardly believable, just aa shown in the remarkable letter which is published upon the request of this sturdy old Civil War veteran. He is 77 years old. Bead what he saya EATONIC did for him: "I am an oM soldier, put seventyseven rears. I bad the Spsoiita Influents sAd it left my stomach in ma

awful shape. I tried three different doctors but got no relief. An a last resort I seat end got a box ot EATONIO and to my greatest surprise the very first tablet I took helped me. I can now eat anything ' I want, aad feel fine." Yours thankfully. Fowler. Indiana Dee. i, 1918 C. S. Uartin P.

The Welfare Loan

Moveme

The Welfare Loan Movement is organized for the purpose of assisting that great body of people who, at some period, find it necessary , to borrow a sum of money and, having no other avenue at their command, find their way to the pawn shop or "loan shark' , In addition to the assistance so rendered to the needy and unfortunate the Society affords an opportunity to investors, bpth large , and small, to invest their surplus funds at a fixed rate of interest, where neither hard times nor bad crops can cause fluctuation nor shrinkage of value common to many forms of stocks and bonds. The investor is not only assured of perfect safety but knows that his money is to be used for a worthy purpose by helping people in fi- " . nancial distress. f All loans of the The Welfare hom Society are secured by prime and easily salable collateral or mortgage security, re-payable back, interest and principal, weekly in small payments. Thus the security is of the very best. (This aeries ot advertisements Is authorized by the American League ot Welfare hon ..
