Camp Will Be Planned

A meeting of Y. M. C. A. boys and

Boy Scouts will be held after the baa

ketball games at 8:30 o'clock tonight at the Y. M. C. A. to discuss the com

bined Y. M. C. A. and Boy Scout camp

this summer. L. A. Schwan of Fort

Wayne will be here to take charge of the meeting as he conducted the last Richmond Y. M. C. A. camp. O. M. Branson, boys' secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and secretary of the City Boys' Work Council, visited the Miami Chautauqua grounds, located fourteen miles southwest of Dayton, and considers the site an ideal place for a boys' camp. The site is in a natural grove of trees larger than Glen Miller and is sparsely settled for miles so that it is almost an ideal wilderness. The boys will sleep and eat in one of the buildings of the Chautauqua. The building to be secured for sleeping and eating quarters contains a

large number of rooms, a good sized dining room and a kitchen, fo that all the boys will have to furnish on the ten-day camping trip will be clothing and bedding. Arrangements will be made to transport the boys to the site by automobile as the distance does not exceed forty miles. An extensive program will include baseball, boating, swimming, tennis, scout games, study of stars, and a special entertainment will be staged in the evening around camp fires. No definite date for the camp has been set as yet, but it probably will open during the week of June 8.

Fewer Mortgage Exemptions Are Filed Tkis Spring In spite of the fact that mortgages larger by $300 may be exempted from taxation this year than in 1918. there were only 2,126 exemptions filed in the auditor's office this spring against 2,155 last year and 2,286 in 1917. This indicates either that more people own their property unincumbered than ever before, or that they do not care whether they pay taxed or not on mortgaged property. The limit this year was $1,000 against $700 last year. The city of Richmond had 1,210 of the total.
