An explanation of the announcements that have come from the board of works that a general coal strike was anticipated next April and that long time contracts might be entered into by the city to guarantee them a coal supply, was asked by Councilman Ford.

Matt Vn Pein stated that no definite steps had been taken by the works board but that it considered entering into a long time contract. He stated that the coal situation was a gamble. A three months coal supply is now on hand at the plant and the board plans to keep this large a supply ahead if possible, he stated. Wants Year's Supply. City Attorney Reller stated that If the city had a place large enough to store a year's supply of coal, and money enough to buy it, now would be the time to lay in the amount needed. This is impossible at the present time because of the finances of the city, Mr. Bescher, controller reminded council. A special meeting of council will b( held Thursday night, Aug. 11, to consider the budget for next year. All estimates must be in the hands of the controller by that time. Mayor Zimmerman stated.' An ordinance authorizing the 6ale of houses on Third street, acquired by the city to make possible the widening of that street, was passed by council. Six buildings will be sold with the proviso that they be moved off the grounds by a given date fixed by the board of works. No real estate is to be sold. Employment Bureau Asked. The question of establishing a free

employment bureau in Richmond wr3 presented to council by Vera Pentecost, of the Central Labor council, and Thomas A. Reilly, of the state industrial board. The matter was referred

to the ordinance committee.

be passed prohibiting the parking of automobiles between fifth and Tenth streets. No action was taken on the

suggestion.

Police were ordered to warn proper

ty owners to cut weeds on their property. An ordinance of long

standing was pointed out by Mr. Rel

ler which authorizes the cutting o weeds and collecting of the cost from

Flag at Half-Mast For Dead Soldiers of World War, Says This Patriot The following has been submitted: Yesterdayin Richmond, the veterans of x the World war paid honor to Frank Llchtenf els. Do you remember that the first three American soldiers killed In France were Gresham, Enright and Hay, and that the first three Richmond boys to fall on the field of honor were Lkhtenfels. Genn and Kirk. (Robert Kirk was In the mar

ines and was killed In action at Chateau-Thierry In 1918). Yesterday, Lichtenfels was given a regular military funeral and with military honors

and the same was given to Genn. Now, every citizen of Richmond

ought to have had a flag out and at

half mast, to the honor of one who has given his life so the people of Richmond and of America can still live under the rule and light of liberty. But how many flags were out? I will leave that for the people of Richmond to answer. . It is the duty of every American citizen to have and show respect for those who died while fighting for freedom, liberty and our own country. The people are more Interested in their stomachs than In the heart of the world. If our boys at ChateauThierry had been more interested in their stomachs than In the heart of the world they would have run away. They wiped away that very reproach which had been hurled at us during the three long, weary years (19141917) when England and France did the fighting for us and kept back the Hun at the cost of millions of lives and billions of treasure. And now that they are exhausted because they defended us we have almost deserted them. We are in honor bound by the deeds of our soldiers. We are talking of monuments. The greatest monument to those who died on the field of honor Is the monument of patriotism. This torn and bleeding world Is calling today for the America of Abraham Lincoln. JAMES HOWARD ROBINSON.
