practical brief talk advocating that a
committee be appointed to invite gem
tleman Of more than local reputation as
a speaker to come to come to Richmond
under the auspices Of the Association
and deliver an address on municipal
government. lie thought this would be
beneficial movement and would cost
the association only 800
lie put this into the form OF motion
which was seconded by Mr. L. r. VIII
liams, who said he thought it would be
well worth the expense TO have such an
address delivered by the proper man be-
fore the Association.
Mir. Hin Montagus opposed the motion
upon the ground that the time was ap-
preaching when a municipal election
would be held, and such an address as
the one proposed should more properly
be made before the Good Government
League
NJ. Montague favored tho people be
ing enlightened on the subject of munich
pal government. Ic was in favor oil
elccting men 10 the Council who would
not only saw. but see that the city should
live within IT'S income.

ABOUT MIGRANTS
The committee appointed TO urge the
City Council to pass TO put Migrants aud
tramps TO work reported through Mr.
Coalter. who said he thought the present
law on this matter was specific and COW
cred the necessities OF the case. What
was needed was to see that the prsnt
laws were executed.
AIR. Valentine urged tho necessity of see
curing funds for the Citizens Relief AS
socation. which had many applications
for help daily from worthy and very
needy people i'm the city and the associa\
ton had almost no funds 10 supply the
necessarics OF life 20 these poor pcOnie.
lie said the tramp ordinance was no joke.
but q serious problem. Citizens of Rich
mond would give money 10 tramps and
Migrants and refuse TO help the poor of
Richmond who were On want OF the neces-
sarios OF life. There was great demand
for means with which 90 help Richmond
people who We're in great want. and yc1
the Relief Association had scarcely any
hing with which 60 meet this want.
After some further informal discussion
the meeting adjourned.
