EMPLOYEES


How many men do yOu employ?
The Health Department employs forty
eight men 10 clean the streets and alleys.
As that sufficient?
No said the Doctor. Richmond has as
sumed such proportions in the last few
yr.-ra that the force at our command Is IN
adequate TO keep every portion OF the city
clean. The business portion of the city
should always present a pleasing aspect.
To accomplish this would necessitate the
NEGLECT of the more remote and unfrequent-
ed streets where the mortality is greatest.
The improvement of the condition OF the
streets aud alleys demands an increase IN
the number OF men employed III our de-
partment. The healthfulness Of the city Is
its most important characteristic. The
CITY Council recognizes this fact and have
always hberally supported the department,
and doubtless the recommendations | sug-
gest will be carried out as soon as practl-
cable.

DO WE IMPROVE?

The heathfulness of the city improves

ventive medicine. and materially assist IN
preserving the cleanliness of the city.

to cross the river over bridge near the
old Three-Milc Locks.
With this route established the Atlantic
Coast Line trains may all goaround instead
of through the city, but 1t IS understood
that the companies do not wish TO abandon
the use of the Belyidcre-street connection
for PASSENGER trains unless forced by the
city. There is, however, an ordinance
compelling them to cease using locomotives
on this connection after April, 1890. and
this will force them from Bclvidere street
entirely if it remains unaltered and is sus-
tanned by decisions of the courts III any
test cases that may be made.
WORK ADVANCED.
For months past work has been actively
prosecuted on the Belt Line.
The contractors, Harman d Co., have al
ready done the greatest part OF the eXca-
votion and filling Mason, HOge 4 Thrasher
have made splendid progress in building
the bridge piers. A bridge company III the
North has nearly finished the iron super
structure.
Meanwhile several of the landowners
have been moving in the County Court for
the appointment of new commissioners to
assess land damages, being dissatisfied
with the awards made them in the reports
submitted, and DR.. Il. A. Patterson has
core to the Circuit Court of HcnricO ask
inc for an Injunction, alleging, among
other things, that the company has not
paid into court the amount OF land dam
ages awarded him. aud, what Is FAR more
important, that the charter OF the fred,
ericksburg Company (Which Is dong all
the work on the north side Of the river
gives no right to it to build this connec-
ton.
Pending proceedings in the Circuit Court
of Uenric6 MI work on DR.. Patterson's
land has been suspended 10y the railroad
company.
As TO the amount of damages awarded
DR. Patterson both he and the railroad
company excepted.
POsTPONEAIENT ASKED.
In the Henrico County Court yesterday
a number of motions to set aside the
reports Of the commissioners awarding
land damages were set for hearing, Du'
Mr.. W. G. Preston and MAJOR Hlll carter
representing the Richmond, rTederlcKs-
burg and Potomac Railroad COMPANY
moved the Court to continue the cases
until the decision of Judge Wellford Is
given in the injunction proceeding.
This suggestion was opposed 10y Messrs.
Ar. Courtney, A. w. Patterson, Addison
l.. Holladav. W. IL. Sands, Conway Il;
Sands. and Jo. Lane Stern, who represented
parties (other than DR.. Patterson who are
moving for greater land damages imam tne
commissioners awarded them.
These gentlemen all objected to the pro;
position of Messrs Preston and Carter, and
rontendcd that the County Court should
proceed without reference to the IN
junction proceedings.
UNTIL NEXT TERM.
Judge Minor reviewed the points at ISSUE
and decided to continue the proceeulhs'
,rtil the next term Of his court, baslng his
conclusions upon the fact that as the CIR.
emit Court Of Henrico is an appellate court

status of affairs.

orR DEATH RATE.

How does the death rate here compare
with those of other cities of our size?
The death rate - Richmond Is larger
than those of most cities of the same size.
This is due 10 the large number6of deaths
among the colored people. Although they
are greatly in the minority their percent
age of deaths is far greater.
How about sudden deaths?
There has been some increase OF cudden
deaths. which have been rendered more
noticeable bv the prominence Of those
who have died.
Apart from hereditary diseases the only
assignable cause is the different tensions
upon the vascular system by frequent va
riafiOns in temDeraturo.
