For which of you. intending TO build
a town, Stitch not down first and
counteth the cost, whether he have suf-
ficient to finish It? Lest haply, after he
hath laid tho foundation and is not able
to finish it, all that behold it begin to

morley He can attend 10 the plans after
wards. That is tho view of tho City
School Board. The members want the
appro priatlon first and arc willing to
make any fair concession to the Coun-
Gil concerning the details. Let us stop
this wrangle about the plan and turn our
attention TO the appropriation. The Times
Dispatch believes that the selection of
tho plan and the erection OF the building
should be committed TO the School Board
subject to review by the Council, and
that an expert architect who makes a
speciality of school buildings should be
employed by the city to aid in tho selec-
ton. But let us put aside tho question
of plans until the appropriation shall
have been made. Money first; then the
details.

Back to the People.

Mayor Mccarthy has wisely exercised
his prerogative and put his veto upon
the annexation ordinance. We have not
seen the message of course, and do not
know upon what ground he withholds
his signature, but there were reasons
abundant. The plan proposed By Mr..
Mills and embodied in the ordinance puts
the burden of annexation upon the city
without giving the relief from congestion
which the situation demands. 1t pro-
vides for ample building space in the
eastern section of the city, but not In
s. the central and western sections, the
directions in which tho city is naturally
expanding. This plan is especially de-
fective, in that it makes no provision
for manufacturing sites.
But all this is an oft-told tale, and
needs not to be elaborated. The Mayor
may have other reasons, but whether
so or not, it is fortunate for greater
Richmond that he has recommitted the
entire subject to the Council.
Now is the. chance of the plain every
lay citizen, whose rights received but
q Scant CONSIDERATION from Tie ploIlotcIS
Of the Mills plan. Let these citizens
go TO their representatives and demand
q new deal and square deal all around
Let them insist that in drawing the next
lines the Council and Aldermen regard
the needs, the demands and the inallen-
able rights of the common people, who
own no manufactures that nre trying TO
dodge city taxes and still keep city con-
yeniences. and who have bought in great
tracts of land. specializing on the ncvita-
BILE growth OF our city, but who have
the final claim on the city for health,
happiness and homes, for themselves and
their children. If such a plan is drawn,
neither favoring the small nor fearing the
great, but with single eye regarding the
welfare Of the people, Richmond Will
grow continuously and increasingly
TO Mayor Mccarthy the thanks Of the
community arc due, for his veto. which
has saved. tho city, against the will OF
her elected guardians, from a measure
which popular demand created and prl-
vate ends robbed Of all real benefit.

adopted this proposition. Tho trouble 10
that this popular movement came too
late. The people had the matter IN their
own hands, and they should have resisted
the machine in the last election and put
1t ont Of business. Instead, they elected
as members OF the Council men who were
known to be the tools Of tho machine,
and they have only themselves to blame.
There is Il lesson In this incident for
Richmond and every other city, When
the people elect as members of their leg
islativc body men Of shady reputation,
they have no right to expect an honest
administration of the city's affairs. II

Philadelphia's Shame.

The Councils of Philadelphia have de-
tiled the people of that city and leased
The city gas works to the United Gas
Ind Improvement Company for term
Of scvcntyfive years. In vain did the
people protest In vain were indigna-
lion meetings held. In vain did the peo-
Pile actually threaten the members with
Lynch law If they dared to sign away
their right. Tho members Of the Coun-
Gil are the creatures of the political ma
chine and they obeyed the order Of their
bosses. The vote in the Common Council
was scycnty-four 10 nine. and in the
Select Council. thirty-seven to four. There
is only one Democrat In each body, and
both voted against tho lease. The Phla-
delphla Press. one Of the leading Repub-
lican newspapers OF tho country, was a
leader in the opposition to the gas steal"
and In u recent article said that 1T was
time for the people Of Philadelphia TO
prepare for the most determined battle
ever been engaged"
THE unblushing inquity Of the pro-
posed robbery" said the Press, has been
made Sill more transparent in contrast
with the new bid. TO undertake TO force
II through in the face of this visible,
tangible proof of its monstrosity is the
most bare-laced declaration of open
brigandage which has ever been made in
an american city. 80 If Councils
shall bow under the whip it will be for
the people and their true representatives
10 take counsel together Immediately for
the public safety"
Every other independent paper in the
city was equally opposed TO this transact
ton, and the mayor himself was opposed
but the order had gone out from tbs
headquarters of the machine and It was
obeyed. The consideration to be pait
