Let Us Reason Together.

At the Chamber Of Commerce meeting
on Thursday night it was said that the
chairnen Of the Council Committees had
reported an aggregate Of s2,74s,42 as
absolutely necessary for their depart
ments: that the city had increased
licenses and taxes and had squeezed from
all sources s2.o27.oo0 and faced shortage
$500 houses which did not have sanitary
minimum without which this city was to
that there were in the city Of Richmond
1870 houses which did not have sanitary
conveniences, and further that the city
engineer estimated that it would cost
about 100000 to open. curb, sewer and
otherwise improve the streets in the city
conservatism the city engineers figures
! were divided by five, reducing that item
to 10000 To this s1.ooo,oM was added
100000 for n new gas holder. $500, 900
for new gas piping. 100000 for new
water piping and $4,000 for the high
school, making q total of s1600.oo0 re-
quired for present and prospective ex-
penses. These facts and figures are a
stock argument against greater eX-
panslon, and have erected an almost
hypnotic influence in the minds of the
timorous or procrastinating. In spite OF
the array of figures. however. terrifying
as 1t ought to be II 1t were true. a ma
forty of the Board OF Aldermen and, it
is believed. majority Of the Common
Council are willing to take new area,
containing more than "the 200 acres In
Guided in the afills's ordinance" If that,
indeed. be correct area. Why is this?
Why do the men who control the city
finances court any such catastrophe As
that conjured up by this statement OF
"estimated cost?'' Simply because every
one knows that all these street Improve
ments Will not DO demanded simultan-
eously, and that the water and gas mains
are dividend earning properties. as soon
as laid OF course, the financial ques-
ton Is fundamental in all discussion o.
the expansion, but the financial argu-
menls that have been so earnestly urged
against taking In the land along the
railways-a territory that is absolutely
essential to the community II we arc ever
to grow in rnanufacturing-apDi with
equal validity To taking in territory IN
the East and West Ends.
BY all means let us dlscuss ways and
means, and let us welcome all assistance
from every source for the belterment
of our city. For after all is said and
done, the question Of tho extent to which
our, limits shall be carried Is one Of
| purely personal Judgment. but in reach
| ing that conclusion, let uH not be dfcciy-
ed ny fgures that either prove too much
or prove nothing.

1t was a great day for cratory, and there
was abundant evidence that eloauent

it requires something more than stump
