REROUTE 68 COUNTY SCHOOL HACK LINES TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND LOWER COSTS

BOGUS PRINCE DE BOURBON.

Plana for re-routing the 68 school hacks u3ed by the county to bring pupils to centralized schools are being worked out in the office of the county superintendent with the co-operation of the various townshin trustees.

Hearings on two schools, those of Dis-

the history of the church. J The church , began with a class of 22 persons that was organized Sept. 1, 1903, nearly 21 years ago. by Rev. Charles Brougbman. Meetings were held in Rhoda temple, the G. A. R. hall,, the K. of P. tempie, and in a store on Main street Finally in June, 1906, this class of 22 purchased the present church building from the United Presbyterian church, and organized the church. Rev. Morton Hobson was the first pastor, serving from 1906 to 1909 when Rev. James first came to Richmond. Built in 1866. The present church building, one of the oldest In the city, was built in 1866, mainly through funds given by

Daniel Reld and William S. Reid, his son. Daniel G. Reid, another son of Daniel Reid, was the donor of the present United Presbyterian church. The deed for the purchase of the church was signed by Rev. Morton . Hobson, D. W. Harris, Isaac Love, Richard Sedgwick and Joseph H. Mills. In the 13 years since Rev. James came to the city, the church has grown from a membership of 95 to 660, and the average attendance from 23 to over 100. The church has nearly 50 tithers among the congregation, it is said. Special music completed the procram. P.ev. James left for his annual vacation on Monday.

PUMPER ACCEPTED BY CITY BOARD OF WORKS

The new pumper for the fire department was accepted by the board of work3 Monday. The acceptance order was made on the rcommendation of Fire Chief Miller. The board also received bids on a new comfort station, but did not award the contract, as no appropriation has yet been made by council. The lowest bids received were: plumbing, $2,547.85; heating, $150; wiring, $146; general construction, $4,888. Contract for the sidewalk on the north side of North D street from Fourteenth to Fifteenth streets was let

to Dan G. Burkhardt at 22 cents per

square foot. Order Assessment Rolls.

Primary assessment rolls for two city improvement jobs were ordered

approved. The order was given oy Walker E. Land, president of the board. The first of the two measures is that for vacating the alley between North West Fifth and Sixth streets from Pearl street south to the alley Tunning east and west The second isj to condemn right of way for construe-1 tion of a sewer between South Fourth street and the C. and O. railway from South D to E streets.

ship, will be held this week.

The new routing system Is In line with the new plan of economical administration of the schools outlined by Superintendent Williams a3 the policy for the school -year of 1922 and 1923. "The people have bonded their county to provide the best schools it is possible to build," he said. "Now it

is up to the officials to administer

these schools in the most economical manner possible, without sacrificing educational standards." Expensive Item That the changing of hack routes in the county is a matter of importance is evidenced by figures contained in

a cost analysis sent out by the state superintendent's office. They show that in the year 1920 to

1921, the number of pupils transported to schools increased 82 per cent over the number in 1914-1915 and for the same period the cost of transporting these pupils increased 222 per cent. These figures are applicable to Wayne county, according to Superintendent Williams. In some counties in the state, as many as eight hacks are doing the work that could be done by sixi tt was determined in a survey recently conducted by the state office. This condition holds true in Wayne county as well as others, according to Mr. Williams. Cites an Instance As in an instance, the case of the

nacK tor District is umber 13 was

cited. This district is keeping a hack going to collect pupils for a small

school, and the patrons are . paying from $1,200 to $1,500 a year to keep

the school going for these few pupils, in addition to the cost of the hack. Three miles from this school is the

new iNumber Nine school building.

with plenty of room to accommodate the pupils. At very slight additional cost for transportation, these pupils, having been gathered up by the regu

lar hack, could be carried to the Number Nine school building, and left there. In the past it has been the custom

for hack drivers to lay out their own route, then hire themselves to the township. Under the arrangement, they would select the best route, taking as riny pupils as possible in the shortest possible time, and one or two pupils might be left at isolated stations, to be picked up by a special arrangement with the parents of some other child, or "backtracking" some other hack. Under the new plan, the routes will be laid out by county officials. Then the hack drivers will be assigned to their routes. It is the aim of officials to have each hack cary as near 20 pupils as possible, while ib the past an average of about 10 pupils has been carried.

SAYS ARIZONA STRIKE

WAS INHUMAN PLOT

By CHARLES R. LTJiTH CHICAGO, Aug. 14 The walkout of the "Big Four" brotherhoods at Needles, Ariz., and other points onthe Santa Fe railroad was branded as a deliberate conspiracy by Vice President A. G. Wells, of the Santa Fe, today. "The action of the trainmen was Inhuman and a violation of their solemn agreements with the railroad," Wells declared. Wells 6tated that the scores of men, women and children marooned at the

desert division point were started toward Los Angeles yesterday on a train manned by railroad officials. "Press dispatches today declare that Attorney General Daugherty has started an investigation to determine if the action of the trainmen was a conspiracy. I desire the public to know it was nothing else," Wells declared in a statement. "More than that it was inhuman to abandon people, especially aged or infirm women, and children in desert places with the mercury 120 in . the shade." Trains were still held up today at

Eastern. Traffic was at a standstill.

Silver Plates Discarded; Berlin Church Offering

Collected in Baskets By GUS M. OEHM (United Press Staf Correspondent) BERLIN, Aug. 14. The American church in Berlin has discarded its silver offering plate and now uses in

its stead three good-sized wicker

baskets. The new arrangement is necessary because of the bulk of the German paper money offered at the weekly service Sunday morning. The great bundle of marks gathered together, (3,000 to a pound sterling) although not a great sum in American

currency, is used entirely by American church for its religious work in Berlin. The American church, according to its pastor, Dr. J. F. Dickie, formerly of Detroit, Mich., strives to meet the needs of the stranger, of the students and all Americans and British. The church was dedicated on Thanksgiving Day, 1903. Many students and touring ministers preach at this little American center. Recently sermons have been de-
