They are her. in reference to the letting
of new contracts for books by the
Beard.
The present contracts will expire on
July 31st of this year and book-dealers
from all around are keenly interested in
the matter. There is some doubt, how
ever, whether the Board will take up the
question as usual this year or will wait
until the new constitution providing for
the new board. goes into effect.
It is possible that the contracts will
all be extended for year. pending The
adoption of the new plans.

Why Policeman Duke Resigned.

Editor Of The Times:
Sir,-There appeared in your issue of
the 9th instant an item which is calcu-
lated to do me an injustice; therefore,
beg that YOU will allow me space in
your paper to correct this erroneous i'm
preston In the item referred to, the
public was lead to believe that my re-
signation as a, member of the police
force was offered because I was called
upon to perform my first duties as a
policeman in a snaw-storm. The facts
are these: When l sent in my applica-
ton about two years ago, l was very
anxious to secure the place, but recently
my wifes health has been such that /
felt it my duty to hold a position which
would enable me to be with her as much
as possible. This is my reason for of
fering my resignation. wish, however,
to thank the Honorable Board of Police
Commissioners for the honor conferred
upon me in electing me as a member Of
the police force.
Very truly,
RICHARD c. DUKE

OUR Observation-Disclosures.


The people Of Richmond are grattfied
that members Of Congress have come here
to Investigate and determine as to wheth-s
er or not there is need in this city for a
new Government building. There are SO
many jobs of this character that Congress
men are naturally suspicious when an.
appropriation is asked from this city or
that for new building, and Is well for
the members OF the Committee on Public
Buildings to make a personal tnvestiga-
ton, wherever it is practicable to do So.
SO far as Richmond is concerned, we are
glad that members OF the committee have
come here to see for themselves, for to
see is to be Convinced.
Richmond is a large and growing city
and the present building is utterly made
quate. It it too small, 1T is out Of date
and it in no way meets the requirements
If the case be decided on its merits, there
will be no question as to the verdict.
