1roulke, who is a stakeholder OF the
Richmond City Mill works, a proceed
6ng was instituted in the Wayne Cir
cult court late Thursday evening for
the appointment of a receiver by the
company. This action was taken not
because any creditors of the concern
are pressing for payment of any obli-
cations by the concern. nor because the
company is not in any way defaulted
aIpon payment of any of it's indebted
ness. 1t has been evident for some
time that the company was not doing
sufficient business to maintain itself
eat a profit, and, for that reason, it was
considered advisable to place the con-
Germ in the hands of receiver for the
purpose of stopping further losses and
in order to treat all creditors and 9th
ers alike.
This company has been in existence
since 1876. and has from that time to
the present employed upon an average
from 80 to 100 men, and. in the period
of it's existence has expended in the
city of Richmond. considerably more
than a million dollars in wages. 1t is
hoped that the appointment of a re-
ceiver is but the first step in the gen.
eral reorganization of the business
The character and reputation of the
products of the Richmond City Mill
works, are the best. and something
over six thousand flour mills have been
built by it in all parts OF the United
States and Mexico.
THE permanent discontinuance of
the company of the size and character
of the Richmond City Mill works,
would be a loss and detriment to this
community. but it is hoped that the
appointment of receiver is but the
beginning of a general plan of reorgan-
ization which will place the concern in
a prosperous situation and enable it to
go forward after business to re-estab-
lish itself as a large factory in the in
dustrial life of this community
mo schedule has as yet been made
of assets and liabilities, because receiv-
err Henry T. Burns has but just quail
fled. However, it is believed that the
assets will equal, if not exceed the liza
bilities.''

on the market house proper, but these
will not be at all extensive, but such
as are absolutely necessary.
When completed. the general appear

proved, and the Shiny mud and water
in which the farmers have had to
stand when selling produce from their
booths, on rainy days, will be a thing
of the past.
Some Question Remains.
There remains some question as yet
as to just how far out into South Sixth

be built. No decision in regard to
the matter has been arrived at In
order to properly protect those hold
ing booth rights along the curbs. a

The small strip of ground between the
sidewalk and gutter as it stands at
present, will be cemented over and all
the rough stone slabs which has here
tofore afforded protection against the
mud, between the sidewalks and mar

a cement floor put in on level with
the sidewalk. The south side of the
market house will be paved with ce-

portion which has heretofore been a
'bugbear" to sellers, will be so no
