terday and Immediately established
his headquarters in the Commercial
Club rooms in the Masonic Temple
corner North Ninth and A streets.
Mr.. Brown will begin work immediate
ely on the organization of committees
to carry on the Y. Nj. c. A. work in
this city. The executive committee
which is now composed of twelve of
the representative citizens of the City
will be enlarged to one hundred and
many other committees will be ap-
pointed to work in conjunction with
them and Mr.. Brown.
There will also be a number of
smaller comittees appointed compos-
ed of from ten to fifteen persons, from
the Sunday schools. railroad shops
and offices, factories and stores.
One member from each will be ap-
and direct the work done by his
committee.
1t is the idea of Mr.. Brown to have
these committees carry on the work
of soliciting funds for the new build
ing. Every person in Richmond will
have the chance to contribute some
thing towards the movement. Mr..
Brown is very hopeful for success.
One of the great features being
planned for the new building will be
the dormitories which will occupy the
third and fourth floors of the Asso-
citation building. These will be turn
ed over to the young men of the city
who room at various places and for
the accommodation of young men who
come into and through the city at var
ious times. This is done so as to
surround them with all the advant-
ages of the association.

Balance July l, $16,29575.
Disbursements Of Special Fund:
Bond and interest, $2,065.02
The General Fund was considerably
decreased during the month of June
through the fact that $4,000 charged
against the city as a temporary loan
was paid. Owing to this fact it was
suggested to the Council that it might
be advisable to borrow $4,000 as a
temporary loan. This privilege was
given the Mayor and the Controller by
an ordinance passed Feb. 10, 1906,
which provided for the borrowing of
$4,000, half of which was taken in at
that time. 1t was not necessary that
the matter be submitted to the council
but it was thought proper by the co
troller that they should have some
idea and intention of the incurring of
the debt.

Board of Works Reach DeciS-
ion on Inspection Trip at
Cincinnati Yesterday.
MAY BE TRIED ELSEWHERE
OFFICIALS ARE PLEASED WITH
USE OF OIL ON QUEEN CITY
STREETS, BUT WANT TO TEST
1T FIRST.

Cincinnati, June 16.-The driveways
in Glen Miller Park, probably will be
the fist thoroughfares in Richmond to
receive a treatment of crude oil
though it is also likely that one street
in the city proper, perhaps National
avenue, on the West Side, or North
Ninth street, will be given the oil
test at the same time. This was in
formally, though not officially agreed
upon today by the Board of Public
Works of Richmond. following an in
spection of the oiled streets in sub
urbs of Cincinnati
In the inspection party that left
Richmond this morning, were Joseph
Zeller, J. F. Davenport and William
Rosa, members of the Board of Works,
Bert Englebert, councilman-at-large
E. G. McMahan, councilman from Sew
enth Ward, Fred Charles, city engin-
eer, .. L. Mather, Elger G. Hibberd
and representatives of the Richmond
newspapers.
Were Well Entertained.
ne GOOu Improvement SoiI-
pany of Cincinnati, invited the Rich
mond officials to make the inspection
and Arthur Stem, an officer of the
company, personally piloted the par
ty over the suburbs which~have oiled
treated streets. Ths"tour was made
in automobiles. The oiling of streets
as a means of allaying dust is not a
new thing, but it has only been within
the past five years that cities like Gin
cinnati, have made general use of the
method, and there is, comparatively
speaking, but few streets even in the
suburbs, which have thus far been
treated
The Board members inspected these
streets today in the suburbs of Hyde
Park, East Walnut Hills and Avon
dale. There seems to be no question
as to the dust killing effectiveness of
the treatment and according to the
Good Roads Company, the crude oil
needs be put on streets but once each
year. The company contracts with a
city to keep streets dust proof at
price approximately eight cents per
square yard per year. This includes
the oil, the machinery ana laDor nee
essary to apply it.
viii Arrange for Test
The Richmond visitors were not
ready to say that oiled streets would
be what Richmond needs as a substi-
tute for sprinkling, but they were dis
posed to believe that it might be ad
vantageous to make a practical test
OF the method as the Good Roads Com
pany agrees to do this without pay,
other than the@cost of oil and labor
which will not be heavy. No ar
rangements. however, were made for
a test. But informally, the board
members and councilmen discussed it.
Council will consider the question and
later the board probably will arrange
for a test so that citizens in general
may be given opportunity to see
whether they like the plan.

A SECOND VISIT
TO BUENOS AYRES
v. K. Horn Is Going to Agenti-

Next Month.
PLEASED WITH COUNTRY
HE HAS BEEN BUILDING A SPEC.
IAL THRESHER FOR USE IN
THAT coUNTRY-Is VERY HEA
Wy MACHINE.

V. X. Horn of this city, who return
ed last April from Argentine Repub
lie, South America, where he has been
looking after the interests of Gaar
Scott & Co., is preparing to make
another trip to Buenos Ayres next
month. Horn who is an expert on
threshing seDerators was sent to Ar
gentina to look after the building OF
machines particularly adapted to the
country and on his return here i'm
mediately set to work on the design
ing of machine that would fit the
natural conditions of the country Mr.
Horn found that threshers in Argen
tina, which are of English and
French makes are of much heavier
pattern than those used in this count
ry, weighing about one thousand
pounds more and built more substan
tial in every way. The natural con
ditions of the country demand it as
the country is rough and to a great
extent undeveleped. The threshers
alone do not require this according to
Mr. Horn but every farm implement
used is of more substantial make and
pattern,
Has Large Machine.
The machine which Mr. Horn has
under construction is a large affair
and has a recleaner attached. All
threshers have them in Agentina ow.
ing to the fact that there are no ele
vators and the wheat is put on the
market direct from the machine The
great difference in the engines used
in that country and this is in the
tread of the wheels they being thirty
inches wide.
In speaking of the climatic condit
ions of the country Mr.. Horn grew
quite enthusiastic saying that in all
his travels over the United States and
Mexico in the interest of his firm
he had never met with a more ideal
climate The fruit crop is very plenti
full and the farm products raised are
equal to those here with the possible
exception of the corn. This he says
ought to be remedied by proper plant
ing and cultivation. On this trim Mr.
Horn will remain four months. or un-
til the threshing season there is over.

1T is ASSERTED THAT OIL DOES
NOT CLING TO FEET OF PER-
SONS THE YEAR ROUND, AS
WOMAN FEARED.

President Arthur Stem has sent the
ladium, which is self explanatory:
Cincinnati, O., July 18th, 1906.
Editor Richmond Palladium, Rich
mond, Ind:
Dear Sir:-I have read in your is
sue of the 18th, the protest of a Rich
mond woman against the treating OF
macadam roads with OIL
l am sure that if she had ever seen
one, she would frankly and cordially
| acknowledge her error. The oiled
roads, instead of being nuisance
are a blessing to every housekeeper
1t is true that for twenty-four or for
ty-eight hours the oil will be picked
up by the feet of those who walk on it
or the wheels of vehicles, but after
that time it forms a dry asphalt sur
| face.
1t is much better to keep off these
| streets for two days of the year than
to have your house filled with dust or
tracked with mud the entire year
injuring not only carpets, but hang.
| ings, furniture and everything else
layed my handkerchief on the road
way in the middle of the street and
put my foot on it and picked it up
without it's being soiled in the slight
est way.
The health board of Lexington, as
we'll as the health board of Ohio, who
has investigated the matter, are very
emphatic in their state mentS that a
large number of contagious diseases,
especially of the throat and lungs nave
been almost eliminated where oil has
duStless.
The Mayor of Lexington told me
that he has to begin the Oiling in the
spring earlier than is best for the
roads, because the houskeepers will
not begin their housecleaning until
it is done, nor will any of them have
their houses painted.
In the point of economy, the coat
is about equal to the cost Of sprink-
ling the roads with water, but the sur
face of the road is preserved from the
effects of water, (the roads worst en-
emy,) so that the cost of repairs is
reduced fully seventy-five per cent.
Where the people owning and enjoy
ing good homes have tried oiled
streets, they would not do without
them for five times as much as they
do cost and l have yet to hear dis
senting voice where they have had the
experience.
The oil does not ooze out of the
"oiled soaked Streets where an oil
with an asphalt base is used, but the
street becomes absolutely dry, the rain
flows off of it and leaves it dry. If
oil with a paraffine base is used, the
road is damaged and made nuisance,
but the asphalt oil, with base of AZ
per cent. of asphalt, used here and in
Lexington, Ky, soon gives to the road
way hard, smooth asphalt surface.
Of course it is essential to use the
proper oil and have it properly ap-
piled Very respectfully submitted,
THE GOOD ROADS IMP'M'T Co.

Mayor Zimmerman explained to

signing the ordinance which appro.
plated $4,000 to the Reid Memorial
Hospital and which was passed some
time ago. by the fact that he had
promised the people that during his
administration the taxes should not
be raised, and that he thought that
contributions of such sums would lead
to imposing a higher rate of tax upon
the city.
