CRITICISM UNFAIR
DECLARES MERRILL
President of Board of Works
Says Dumping at Glen is
Not Unsanitary.
WHY RAvINE is FILLED
BOARD DESIRES TO TAKE AWAY
THE UNSIGHTLiNESS AND
THINK THERE is NO DANGER
FROM CONTAGiON.

The criticism made by some per
| sons relative to the dumping of what
they term refuse in Glen Miller
park" said President Merrill of the
Boad of Works yesterday, is unfair
to the Board of Health. to the Board
OF Works and I believe is due TO a
misunderstanding of facts. In the
first place ] wish the Palladium
would say for the Board of Works
that the Board of Health was never
consulted in this matter for the rea-
son that it was not regarded as a
matter over which the Board of
Health had any authority, and | am
sure this stand is proper. 1t has
been the intention of the Board of
Works to make some needed i'm
provements about the old residence
that stands near the east entrance to
the Glen. We have been hauling ash
es and other burned material and
making a fill, beginning toward the
east side and extending westward.
We have not dumped any of this ma
terial into the gully through which
water passes and probably it will be
several years before the fill will
reach -. far. When the time does
come for filling that gulch, there Will
be tiles put in so that the water may
be carried off as it is now. Filling 1T
up would mean that the flow of water
would be stopped. There is nothing
unsanitary nor unhealthful about the
fill we are making and the work as a
whole is being done for the purpose
of improving what has been an un-
slightly part of the park. The ashes
which are being dumped there VIII be
covered with earth and grass seed
sown. 1t is the intention of the
Board also to improve the residence
structure and render it habitable eth
er for tho park superintendent home
or to be rented"

Social and Personal Mention

The appearance of Frederick Walde
here on next Monday night, in dramar-
&c recital at the Gennett, promises to
be one of the successes of the season,
parties from nearby towns having al
ready signified their intention of being
present. Mr.. Warde has been ) en-
inently successful in dramatic recital
that he has not appeared in straight
drama for several seasons past. He
was seen here when quite a young
man with Lawrence Barrett, but since
that time has not been in Richmond
and his engagements in dramatic re
cital and exposition of Shakespeare S
plays have been confined almost exciu-
sively to the larger cities and the big
colleges and universities. Mr.. Warde
is a man of fascinating and attractive
personality and has been entertained
by royalty and many of the greatest
social celebrities of this and other
countries, where he has appeared. Al
though he regards himself as an
American, having been a citizen OF
this country for many years, he is an
Englishman by birth, as was one of
his fellow actors and intimates, the
late Lawrence Barrymore, father OF
Ethel Barrymore. Mr. Wardes re- i
cital here will probably be one of the |
most universally known of the great /
dramatist's plays.

abeth Comstock entertained the mem.

ALL BUSINESS SUSPENDED
WILLIAM CUMMING WORKS FOR
SIX HOURS TO BRING CITYS
VAULT INTO USEFULNESS
ONCE MORE.

Persons in the city hall yesterday
afternoon shortly before 3 o'clock
were startled by a joyous shout that
emanated from the second floor and
which, investigation revealed, had
come from the throat of City Clerk
Taggart. 1t all came about because
of gladness the city clerk felt over
the achievement of William Cumming,
locksmith, who had been engaged
from early morning, In an effort to
open the big vault i'm which the rec
ords of the department are kept. The
big iron door to the vault is never
fully locked, there being no cash kept
within. For more than a year the
com bination has not been used. In
some manner the combination be-
came turned Monday and when City
Clerk Taggart attempted to gain en-
trance he was unable to do SO.
Then he racked his brain for the
mystic figures of the combination and
tried them. The door refused TO
bulge. Then the city clerk searched
through his desk in hopes that the
combination figures might be found
on a slip of paper and filed away.
The search was in vain. Later the
city clerk remembered that recently
several boxes from an abandoned
desk had been temporarily laid away
in the vault. Within one of those
boxes, the city clerk remembered, he
had filed away the precious combina-
ton. Monday afternoon and Monday
evening he worked with a will to get

TO the destruction of the combination
but it was difficult thing to accom-
piish the same result without injury
TO the lock.
A hole was drilled into the revolv-
ing combination plate and through
this very small aperture, Dunning ap-
piled his slender tools and kept az
plying them until the alightment of
the tumblers had been secured. Six
