FOR. GOOD GOVERNMENT
Colonel Grundy Among Those Who Desire Change
in Method Of Municipal Management Calls
aa9AAttention to Charter ofaCity Of Baltimore

The adoption Of a business method
OF legislation would mean greater
economy in transacting city affairs
the removal of worthless employees, the
departure OF friction in the various
departme nts. the reduction In taxation.
the Fastening of honest legislation. the
death OF political combinations. and tho
growth OF civic income.
These results have followed the In
stltution OF the commission form Of
government in other cities, and with
the natural resources of Richmond.
and her wonderful prosperity, 1t is
only fair to expect greater results than
have obtained In other places.
In discussing the matter Colonel
+Grundy says: II am clearly of the
opinion that the present plan Of gov
eminent OF the fair city OF Richmond
can be greatly improved upon. The
new census, about to be announced,
will probably show that we have one
hundred and twenty-five thousand In
habitants within our gates. owning
our water and gas plants and with an
annual revenue OF fwo and a halt NIL
lion dollars, the machinery OF city
administration Is antIquated and sadly
out Of keeping with the watchword OF
to-day--'progress,

by a commission, authorized by the
state Legislature, but elected BY the
vote OF people OF Galveston The plan
has given excellent results, but my
idea Is that the city of Baltimore's
charter and plan of municipal admin
istraton would suit us even better
than government by commission
Ealtimore's Council Is composed OF
1.-TWO branches---the lower of twenty
two members one from each ward; the
upper Of eleven members, each from
1.-TWO contiguous. wards. The two
branches sit at the same time, thereby
saving much time In passing upol,
| proposed ordinances, etc.
AS I understand it, there is little or
tho committee work, which Is 50 taxing
Ito Richmonds lawmakers, and which
of itself alone keeps many good men
out OF our Council,
TO sum 1t all UP. my idea Is a small
Council Of say, fifteen members; pay
chem a feir salary; con.mand all 81

and hcla them responsible fer the!l

CfBHUne1 Barton II. Grundy, alderman
from Clay Ward. is heartily In SYM
patty with the movement to give the
city OF Richmond simple form OF
government. based on business prin-
ciples.
Colonel Grundy is outspoken in his
opposition to the cumbersome methods
OF civic legislation now In vogue. and
has joined the ranks of those who be-
lieve that Richmond should not remain
in the grasp Of politics." but that q

MR.. K0INER HAS
fine SUCCESS
Agricultural Commissioner Res
turns from Abroad, Where He
Went for Immigrants.
SAYS INTEREST is AROUSED

Hon. George Wellington 1Soiner, Com
missioner Of Agriculture and 1minigra-
ton, returned yesterday, after an nb-
sence OF two months In Europey where
he went IN the interest OF Immigration
to Virginia
Mr.. Koiner arrived In New York
Friday and came directly to Rich
mond. arriving here yesterday morn-
Ing. 1nasn1uch as 1t was o, half holi-
day at the Capitol and the commits
sioner was somewhnt fntigued as
result of his long journey, he did not
como to his office, but he talked In a
most Interesting manner concerning
his trip when seen at his residence
on Floyd Avenue last night.
Mr.. Kolner Is greatly pleased ut tho
success Of his stay abroad. and de-
OF farm hands and domostics to Nir-
ginia during the fall and winter.
With the exception Of a little storm
he encountered on his way over, the
commissioner says his trip was n de-
lightful one. and that he greatly en-
joyed It. He will be In his office at
the Capitol tomorrow, and will take
up the work that has accumulated
In his absence.
1>lad to Get Back.
Mr.. Koiner said he was very glad
to get back to Old Virginia; that every
time he goes away he 10 the more
anxious to get back among tho good
people Of his native State. When ask
ed what the immigration prospects are,
he said his trip was much more salts
factory than the ono made last year.
He knew what to do and where to go
for the kind OF farm labor and home
seekers that our Virginia farrners
want The commissioner never gives
out where his best work is beins done.
but It Is known that since he went
away more than a hundred good Scotch
workers have arrived. Mr.. Kolner ex-
poets the work to grow right along and
desirable class of people, some TWEEN
ty- Ave or thirty, are on the way now.
He expects every week new arrivals
Some Of these people who hire to farmers
as laborers put from two thousand 70
i've thousand dollars In bank, and AZ
ter they have worked year ana
learned our Virginia ways in farming.
they will buy small farm and work
1t themselves Mr.. koiner says this
class of people are on tho increasc.
He has also gotten start in Belslu'ii.
where splendid farm labor can BIO had.
He says no was offered 600 people by
an agent, who would pay their own
passage, but he declined 10 accept
them.
The commissioner Is doing his best to
get in class OF people who VIII be
in nj, s,,ys,rgas to our ,so o.
with Virginia people In, time TO come.
Virginia Is the only State that Is doing
any immigration work IN Great Britain
at this TIME. The Canadian agents
seem to have defeated any State work
heretofore The good news going back
from people who have been here a
while Is helping the work also Mr..
koiner says he expects more people
with money to buy homes and that this
class la on the increase. He IL s,rati-t
fed at the results from so small an
appropriat ton. and the first effort made
In that direction by the State. Many
farmers are writing letters to Mr..
Koiner, thanking him for the good
work.
