THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM TUESDAY, FEB. 11, 1919.

CITY PLANNING DISCUSSED AT CLUB MEETING Perfect City Plan Presented to Commercial Club South Side Car Line Up. "City Planning- was the subject dls cussed by Del Davis, city engineer, at the monthly meeting of the Richmond Commercial Club Monday night. "A perfect city plan will tend to make our lives more worth the living and to cause us to be more contented with our home city," he said. "The laying out of new streets, and the possible widening of old ones where needed; a comprehensive plan lor paving streets in the business section; the removal of sidewalk encroachments, of poles and overhead wire; a policy of planting trees' on all new residential streets and old ones where it Is deemed necessary; a program for the proper development of present park areas and boulevards and the acquisition of additional parks and playgrounds and the Improvement of our bridge approaches; also the building of public rest rooms are some of the features which a city plan would provide for. The factory district and ' the factory workers' residential district would, under a good city plan, be given as much consideration as the boulevard district. "To have a city plan would not

mean necessarily that all the improvements need be made at once, but those

improvements that could be made

each year would conform to that general scheme and from year to year link up with each other, eventually to make the plan complete. City Commission Needed. "In order to bring about a co-operation of effort along these lines many progressive cities have created a city planning commission which shall af- . ter thorough investigation prepare and submit to the council and board of works comprehensive plans for the .future physical development and im- ' provement of the city, based primarily upon utility, convenience and beauty, physical needs and possibilities, and the social welfare and physical well being of the people. In comparison with other cities Richmond can be called almost a . model example. . Twenty per cent of our street mileage is of permanent character and 29 per cent additional . is of excellent macadam. Only 11 per ien( of our total mileage is unimproved and even that part is now being cindered, by the city from the general fund. Richmond is also well sewered, with over 54 miles of various sizes. It is true that Richmond has outgrown the size of some of her trunk

sewers, those built in the early eighties. By the efficient patrol system inaugurated last year by the board of works, our streets and sewers will now be kept up to a high standard of service. It will take some time of course, for us to catch up with the worn out condition of some of our street surfaces. The mayor and the board of works considers the maintenance of our streets equally as important as the construction of them. Discusses Express ! Davis said that the engineering department is going on with the plan whether the people do or not. He pointed out great possibilities for factory sites in the north end of Richmond. J. L. Wlkoff of the American Railway and Express company, urged more care in express shipments. Better packing and more care in tagging the. shipments will do away with the number of loss and damage claims, he pointed out, and will likewise, prevent thieving which " frequently occurs when the contents of the parcel Is exposed by poor packing. A general discussion followed on plans for Improvements in Richmond. Ed Stegman said that the people in the south end want a street car line and have been trying to get it for 10 years. In a discussion which grew out of this statement, J. W. Mueller said he had talked with an official of the street car lines in Richmond who eaid that only one track would be put

across tne Mam street bridge. In

order to have two tracks the nonu

lation of the West Side would have to Increase 5,000. Mr. Stegman said

he had talked with the superintendent of the street car lines who said that he thought it would be a paying prop

osition Dut that the officials of the

company absolutely refused. New Road Project

Del Davis said that the sentiment of

the people should be stirred up. C. B Beck, who presided, 6aid that the trou

ble In Richmond is that the people want to see things done, and vet

they want some one else to get en-

uiusiasuo ana root the bill.

jonn Mueller said that the city

enouia get in touch with the "big

men or tne traction and railway companies. It was suggested that a

traction official be brought here at

the annual banquet of the club which 1 V. J i . .

STATE SUFFRAGE MAY COME UP IN OHIO ASSEMBLY

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 11. Events In Washington again brought the majority of the general assembly face to face with its pledge to give women the ballot, the suffrage memorial of last week to United States Senator Atlee Pomerene having reached the end expected. What steps will be taken to redeem this "promissory note" were not disclosed, legislative leaders saying they desire time for reflection. The prediction in some quarters was that the Fout's resolution for submission of the matter of state suffrage would be acted upon. When the houses convened only a few proposals of a major nature were presented. One was the health reorganization bill by Representative William L. Hughes, of Lorain. Union Bill Launched The proposal to make possible union of urban counties with their metropolitan centers also was presented, the sponsor being Senator William Agnew, of Cuyahoga, undaunted after the defeat of two years ago.

For all communities-For all purposes In any quantity

By an order effective February 1, 1919, the U. S. Fuel Administrator permits the resumption of shipments of anthracite in any quantity, to any community and to any consumer, and suspends all regulations and restrictions on the price of hard coal. Coincident with the issuance of the order the Fuel Administrator gave to the press the following statement relative to the prices of anthracite which during the period of the war had been fixed by the Administration: j "By his Executive Order of August 23, 1917, the President adopted as maximum prices for anthracite coal, the schedule of prices which had been acquiesced in by the industry while under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission under the so-called "Calder" resolution of the Senate. This involved one price for the railroad controlled coal companies, and a price 75c higher for the individuals. With the exception of a reduction of sixty cents a ton in the prices for pea coal made October 1 , 1917, and two adjustments to cover increases in miners wages, the Fuel Administration allowed the prices fixed by the President to stand pending examination of costs such as were made in the case of bituminous coal. "For the purpose of arriving at a fair increase in price to cover the increase in wages recommended by the War Labor Board last October, an examination was made to determine the costs of the various anthracite producing companies. The result of this examination showed that the general increases in the price of materials and labor had raised the cost of mining anthracite to such an extent that many of the companies were not receiving a fair return and that some producers of necessary coal were actually sustaining a loss on the sale of coal at the Government prices, in spite of the two increases allowed on account of advances to labor. "At the time this situation was discovered every indication pointed to an early peace and it was deemed unwise to increase the maximum prices so near the time when, on account of the end of the war, price restrictions would in the natural course of events, be lifted entirely. "The above statement is made at this time, when price restrictions are about to be lifted, out of fairness to those companies who have patriotically kept up their production to war needs, even at a cost which resulted in many instances in a loss, not only by the individuals, but also by some of the railroad companies, so that the impression shall not exist that the Government prices of anthracite coal in existence at the time of the lifting of restrictions were prices which the Fuel Administration had fixed on the basis of cost to the operators. "Had the Fuel Administration's active control over maximum prices on anthracite coal been continued, the cost examination above referred to shows that it would have been necessary, on the basis of the present wage scale, to raise these maximum prices possibly as much as 50 cents a ton above those last fixed by the Government, in order to prevent financial embarrassment and perhaps the closing of companies producing a substantial per cent of the necessary anthracite output. "Such a curtailment of production would eventually result in the demand exceeding the supply to such an extent as to increase the prices much higher than they would be if that supply were continued."
