TUITT MOVIE.
TIE ROANOKE TIMES has shown much
commendable enterprise in getting out
special editions and has now equaled if
not eclipsed its previous efforts by it's
building edition of Monday. There is
more of work than OF remuneration in
such an undertaking and the paper that
essays 1T shows more intelligent and
sincere interest in it's town than it could
do in any other way. The magnificent
buildings portrayed and the number
erected make a showing that is highly
creditable to the city and testifies moro
eloquently to it's substantial growth
than colu ms OF idle, indefinite boast
ing. We congratulate our contempt
rary.

Coun,;l and the board of public
works continue to lock horns. THE
TINES regrets to see body like the
board Of public works, which in other
cities has demonstrated it's value SO
thoroughly, hampered by Council and
its usefulness seriously impaired.
There is no doubt as to the purpose of
the ne~ charter to create a powerful
auxiliary in the board of public works.
But Cclncil has jealousy Rugged the
functions which the legislature took
from il and bestowed upon the board Of
public works. Instances in kind are
too numerous to mention.
The most recent and most nagrant
was tho resolution instructing the light
committee in conjunction with the
board OF public works to locate the
electric lights. The whole business of
placing the lights belonged to the board
of pubic works and ought to have been
given them.
Since Council will not do it's plain
duty n the matter, the board may be
forced 20 go into the courts to teach
Counci! lesson, and they would be
justified in doing SO.
In the leading cities of the country
municipal reforms invariably work
along The line OF combining the duties of
aldermen or councilmen strictly to leg.
islation, and taking out of their hands
the appointment OF all city officials save
their own clerk. The day is coming in
Roanoke when the mayor will appoint
every city official not elected by the
people.

DIR. KIRK's SIDEWALK.
He VIII Put Down Two Hundred Yards of
Chilhowic Brick.

DR.. J. D. Kirk, president OF the board
of public works, is setting good OK
ample to other property holders. Along
tho sidewalk by tho Kirk building, at
the corner of Salem avenue and Jeifer-
son street, arc piled several thousand
glazed, hard burned brick Of peculiar
surface pattern. They como from Chill
howie, and are the finest sidewalk brick
made.
The doctor is going to put down at his
own expense the finest brick sidewalk
in the city. The total cost will be about
81 square yard, and as the Kirk build
ing has about 200 yards OF sidewalk
around it his public spirit will be proven
TO be OF a standard brand. 1t is to be
hoped that other property owners wi
follow his example.

Police Court News.

The case of Mamie Brown, colored,
who was arrested few days ago charged
with stealing SIS, some iewelry and
lot OF clothing from Mrs. M. Harrison,
was tried yesterday morning before Po-
lice Justice Turner. From the evidence
1T appears the goods were found in box
in which the girl. who was servant of
Mrs. Harrison, kept her clothing. The
case was sent on to the grand jury.
The case against j. a. Coppredge, a
contractor of Vinton, who was arrested
last Sunday on warrant charging him
with obtaining forty notes of SIS each
from Pal Brickey, under false pretenses,
was dismissed by justice Turner on the
grounds that there was no evidence be-
fore the court to sustain the charges.
1t appears that Coppredge agreed to
build house for the plaintiff and to
have it completed at certain time.
These notes were given in payment of
same. The house has never been
finished, and the time for completing it
expired more than twelve months ago.
The defendant discounted the notes and
they were presented at the bank for
payment, hence the arrest.
